Death Stranding: The Official Novelisation - Volume 1

A good companion to the game but if you haven't seen or played the game it may seem a little vague and the concepts a little difficult to comprehend.

As I have played the game, reading the book was a different experience a good experience as I was playing out the scenes in my mind from the game.

Se você jogou Death Stranding e quer se aprofundar em uma das melhores histórias dos últimos tempos, eu recomendo fortemente os dois volumes dessa novel.A novel melhora em praticamente tudo o que é contado no jogo original, dando os detalhes necessários que faltavam e acrescentando outros pontos que mostram o verdadeiro potencial vindo da mente de Hideo Kojima e Kenji Yano.

Nach dem Ende des Spiels habe ich mir die Romane und den Bildband "The Art of Death Stranding" zugelegt, da dass Spiel so wahnsinnig gut war und ich gerne noch weiter in diesen Kosmos eintauchen wollte. Es hat sich mehr als gelohnt. Klare Kaufempfehlung.

This book is, more or less, a retelling of the cutscenes, but without the captivating quality of the game. It either suffers poor translation, poor writing style, or both: multiple words repetitions, characters retelling infos the reader just learned all the time, weak world-building...It relies a lot on the idea that the reader has played the game, and doesn’t bother with building tension, sharing powerful emotions or creating evocative descriptions. The outsiders’ point of view (Igor, Deadman, the Elder, Fragile etc.) could bring a lot of interesting novelty, but they feel very, very bland.It is anticlimactic and boring, a pity for anyone who enjoyed the original storyline.
