What Death Stranding can teach us about making connections

I love playing video games. On a typical evening, I usually put in at least an hour gaming. Of late, one of the games I’ve been playing is Hide Kojima’s latest Death Stranding. I’ve found this game to be oddly compelling. It’s not like most other games. For the most part you’re running around building structures, while trying to deliver requested goods and avoid ghosts and Mules (delivery people gone rogue). So it’s not a typical game at all, but what’s so compelling about Death Stranding is that it explores the nature of connection between people.
