Death Stranding was one of my favourite PC games of last year. I spent many a happy hour delivering parcels across the post-apocalyptic hills and mountains of the United States of Icelandic America, and several more chronicling the road trip adventures of the game s main characters in my ten-part BB Boys photo diary. It s a game I have a deep affection for, despite its bonkers plot about nuclear-explosion ghosts, ageing rainfall, and otherworldly jar babies - because why not, goddamnit? - and one that s firmly lodged itself into my brain ever since I saw the final (final final) credits roll at the end of last year. When I heard Titan Books were publishing an official novelisation of the game, I just had to check it out. So I did. Two whole books of it, and lemme tell ya, it s a real kettle of fish.
