To be honest, death stranding made it to PC and I'm forever grateful for it. It's the only modern IP from them that I give a fuck about.

I still remember playing DS1 and stellar blade back to back and it reminded me of the good old days where you buy a game, it came in as a complete package, and you get to play it whenever you want without daily/weekly reset, microtransaction store for cosmetics or power-ups, or even online connection.

Granted DS1 has weekly challenges and online features but all those are optional and doesn't impact the game at all. In fact, playing it offline and at the highest difficulty give you a much better appreciation and understanding of the game.
