Death Stranding is about connection, the end of the world, and whether there’s meaning in possible extinction. If you would rather just jump into the story of God of War without the long gameplay experience, the official novel provides an interesting option. This narrative is told in two volumes surrounding Sam Porter Bridges’s quest to bridge the gap between a divided North America after an event that caused the worlds of the living and dead to collide. The story is available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats, as well as audio stories narrated by actor Bronson Pinchot.
