Does The Death Stranding: Director’s Cut Extras Make The Game Too Easy?

We’ve gotten a massive look at Death Stranding: Directors Cut during Gamescom 2021 and know-how all of its extra bits and pieces work. But does the additional content make the game too easy? Plus Hideo Kojima might be working on a sequel next!

Also on this week’s show, we discuss Horizon Zero Dawn updates and Horizon Forbidden West release dates. We’ve also learnt the release date of SIFU and Naughty Dog is officially working on a standalone multiplayer game.
