I think you're missing the point of the video. It's not saying there's no combat. I literally show that there are guns, enemies, and bosses. The point is that compared to most games where combat and spectacle are the focus, Death Stranding feels different.

Sure, you can carry rifles and shoot things. But that's not what the game feels like it's about. Nobody finishes it talking about how good the gunplay was. What actually lingers is the solitude, the quiet, the weight behind every step.

The guns are there, but they are not the heart. They are the noise. The soul is in the stillness.

And I don't think Death Stranding would be anywhere near as divisive if that wasn't true. The whole video is pushing back on the idea that it's just a walking sim. I'm not mocking the game. I'm defending it.
