Death Stranding - Death Stranding: The Official Novelization – Volume 1 (Death Stranding, 1) Paperback – February 23, 2021

I have always loved Hideo Kojima's games' cinematic feel and storytelling. Death Stranding went above and beyond in both of these. This two-part book telling the first game's storyline is fantastic, and I hope they do this again with DS2: On the Beach.

It’s nice to read the novel after playing the game, helped me get a better understanding of the lore and characters

I wasnt expecting much from a video game novelization, but this one turned out pretty decent

Amazing book. I don’t really ready any books but I ordered this book to fully understand Death Stranding story. There is so much in this book that’s has not been used in video game. It’s a masterpiece and great story!

I read some reviews that said this wasn’t great, but I really enjoyed it, and I’ve already purchased the second book. I’d seen things about the video game, and I was really interested in learning the story, but I didn’t want to play the game. The book was exactly what I was looking for, and I really enjoyed it. The world building here is incredible. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into this, and I’m invested in finding out what’s going to happen.

This book is honestly fantastic! While I would say it is easier to understand this book if you have played the game, it is NOT necessary in my opinion. The author lays this out with an easy to understand plot line that slowly builds in complexity and leaves you with mind blowing thoughts and ideas to delve upon. It outlines so many facets of the game itself and gives a greater look into the storyline of Death Stranding. There are many moments in the book where the writer captures a moment in time and then the next sentence you are thrown backwards in history, context, or events, and then just a quick, you are thrust forward again to the present events. Pay close attention in your reading or you will miss details and be confused on what has occurred. Also, the writing will make you feel a characters emotions, thoughts, and actions directly, and then as you read, pieces of the writing will stick out as to show the internal mental conversation that the character is having with themself, all while having outside interactions alike. I absolutely loved these details and I encourage any reader to pay close attention again,for it is easy to miss.Overall, I could not put this book down and it read beautifully on my new Kindle Basic ‘22. It is gripping, emotionally charged, and worth every cent.Onto number 2, enjoy!-Chris
