PC ports of Decima Engine games are a bit like buses. Except, of course, they’re absolutely not. Sure, you might have waited impatiently for Horizon Zero Dawn and Death Stranding to show up on a rig near you, but now that both are here, these big-budget open world games are obviously nothing like sweaty forms of public transport. Despite sharing the same genre, these PS4 hits also offer polar opposite experiences.
Longtime PlayStation collaborator Guerrilla Games developed the engine behind both sandbox smashes, yet that’s where the comparisons end. Death Stranding is a technical triumph, but it’s also an example of a Hideo Kojima game at its most indulgent. Undeniably interesting, hugely silly, and often as boring as it is weirdly captivating, it’s a brilliant but bloated passion project that’s hard to pigeonhole and impossible to ignore. It’s also nowhere near as exciting to play as Horizon Zero Dawn.
