<\/figure>\n

An open world action game developed by Kojima Productions, Death Stranding<\/em> plunges players head first into an apocalyptic United States. A catastrophic event creates strange creatures known as \u201cbeached things\u201d or BTs. They wreak havoc on America with a destructive rain and repeated \u201cvoidouts.\u201d It is up to Sam Porter Bridges to deliver cargo to various cities and attempt to get them back online.<\/p>\n

Death Stranding<\/em> is beautifully made with an intense attention to detail. Despite the serious nature of the plot, the game never fails with its fun sense of humor\u2013 evident by Easter eggs<\/a> and hidden game features, Kojima makes it easy to break up the serious moments with a laugh. There are so many of these secrets in the game that those who play through quickly may never realize its full potential.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>More Customizable Than You Think<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It is not uncommon for games to allow players to customize their character’s look. Sam can change from his futuristic gear to looking even more like Norman Reedus than he already does. The player can adjust Sam’s hairstyle, his clothing, give him sunglasses, goggles, and even hats.\u00a0Players can also customize Sam’s\u00a0vehicles, along with the colors of the walls\u00a0inside his room.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Sam Can Learn To Play The Harmonica<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Like many features\u00a0in\u00a0Death Stranding<\/em>, players can easily progress through the game without ever getting the harmonica. In order to nab this cool item, Sam has to meet a character called “the Musician” located in the Eastern Region. He will give Sam a mission and reward him with it after the task is complete. Once equipped and resting, Sam is able to play BB’s theme, which is a great way to quickly calm the little one<\/a> when stressed.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Conan O’Brien Can Give Sam An Otter Hat<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Another fun moment that can easily be missed is Conan O’Brien’s hilarious cameo. Sam can meet\u00a0The Wandering MC in the Central Region in Episode 3.<\/p>\n

Conan graciously presents Sam with\u00a0a strange sea otter hat… for some reason. In a move very reminiscent of something straight out of Super Mario Bros<\/em><\/a>, the otter hat allows Sam to effectively navigate deeper water.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>A Popular British Rock Band\u00a0Contributed Music To The Soundtrack<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Along with a fantastic original score by Ludwig Forsell, Bring Me The Horizon also contributed to Death Stranding<\/em>‘s epic soundtrack<\/a>. The band’s front-man had this to say<\/a> about their involvement. \u201cKojima-san is one of the few people I would call a hero to me, so making a track for his first game since he left Konami was equal parts daunting, stressful and exciting.” The soundtrack also includes artists such as Major Lazer and The Neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Full Of Cast-Related Easter Eggs<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Some of the Easter eggs require the player to actually know something about the cast (and it\u2019s not the giant AMC\u2019s Ride with Norman Reedus\u00a0<\/em>banner on the shower). Blink and you\u2019ll miss it references include hints at Mads Mikkelsen\u2019s past ballet career, Cliff pouring the same type of wine that his character prefers in Hannibal<\/em>, and Deadman referencing The Shape Of Water<\/em>.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Death Stranding\u00a0Exists Because\u00a0Silent Hills Fell Through<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Konami approached Hideo Kojima to develop what would have been the ninth game of the Silent Hill<\/em>\u00a0series back in 2012. Guillermo del Toro was also slated to be involved in development, and Norman Reedus was cast as the main character.<\/p>\n

Konami released a\u00a0playable teaser titled “PT”<\/a>, but the deal eventually fell through due to fallout between Konami and Kojima. Determined to continue to work together, Kojima, del Toro, and Reedus\u00a0teamed up\u00a0again to make what would become Death Stranding<\/em>.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Grenades Are Made Out Of Bodily Fluids<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Ever wonder why Sam showers and goes to the bathroom so often, or even why there are so many ways for him to do so? Sam can relieve himself in public and in private in his room. Sitting or standing!\u00a0Most of Sam’s\u00a0weapons are actually made out of his excrement and other fluids that are collected when he showers. It’s pretty odd, but if it works, it works!<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Sam Can Sing\u00a0In Japanese<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Throughout Sam’s journeys, he might discover hot springs. The player has the option to have Sam take a bath\u00a0with BB floating with him. If left sitting there long enough, Sam will begin singing a strange yet catchy song.<\/a><\/p>\n

Though it sounds like Sam might have spontaneously made it up, it’s actually a Japanese song titled\u00a0“Ii Yu Da Na.” It roughly translates to “good hot water.”<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Hideo Kojima Cameos As A BT<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It’s no secret that there are tons of cameos of famous actors, directors, and tv personalities in\u00a0Death Stranding,\u00a0<\/em>so it‘s<\/em> no wonder that Hideo Kojima wanted<\/a> to get in on the action. While resting in Sam’s room, it is possible to access a secret cutscene of Sam having a nightmare. In this dream, he sees himself being attacked by a BT with the face of Hideo Kojima himself.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Sam Will Punch You In The Face For\u00a0Peeping<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Some of the funniest features are only found if the player specifically clicks around<\/a> and does, well, strange things. Zooming in on Sam’s crotch while he is in his room will cause Sam to become embarrassed and cover himself. If the player continues, he will angrily flip the camera the ol’ middle finger. If players\u00a0are very persistent with their peeping, Sam abruptly gets up and punches the camera.<\/p>\n
