SOCIAL STRAND SYSTEM (DEATH STRANDING)
Death Stranding may not have created a whole new genre like Hideo Kojima had hoped it would, but there’s little doubt that it’s one of the most unique open world games ever mode. Its asynchronous multiplayer (dubbed the Social Strand System by Kojima) is a huge reason for that. From simple actions like giving “likes” to ropes and ladders left behind by other players to working together with players you never see to create an entire system of roads or ziplines, it’s an incredibly powerful system that transforms the whole experience.
