It’s Filled With Fantastic Actors and Performances
Death Stranding’s story is a wild confusing ride, but what really keeps things surging forward is the cast. The game has drawn a lot of attention since its announcements because of the big names attached to it, and it’s clear that everyone, not just Kojima, was invested in the project.
The main character Sam is played by Norman Reedus, of Walking Dead and Boondocks Saints fame, who does a fantastic job at portraying the gruff reclusive Porter. Joining Reedus is a seriously talented group of other actors.
Acclaimed actor Mads Mikkelsen plays the enigmatic Cliff, award-winning director Guillermo Del Toro plays Deadman, Troy Baker voices Higgs, French Actress Lea Seydoux plays Fragile, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Other celebrities like Conan O’Brien and Junji Ito make appearances as side characters.
Even if you don’t have any idea what’s happening in the story at points, the performances in Death Stranding are so compelling and packed with emotion that it doesn’t really matter.
