The Battles of the Isonzo during World War I are well-known in the history books. So it was only natural that when Blackmill Games had to choose a front to represent in the third game of the WW1 series, it chose the one centered on this river in Italy. Unlike the real battles, however, Isonzo is the opposite of a 12 battle slog. Yes, it’s still an FPS where bolt action rifles rule the day and death comes fast, but Isonzo is anything but a retread of the same the ground....

Kojima has suggested that perhaps the reason why Death Stranding has received some pretty depressing reviews, especially from American publications, is because the game isn’t a shooter. Death Stranding has been available for two days, but prior to this release there was already a bevy of pre-release reviews that were dividing the fans as they waited for the official release date to arrive. Even before its official release, Death Stranding was already being called one of the best experiences in modern gaming, receiving stellar - even perfect - scores from some publications....
