Connie (244 KP) rated Love, Simon (2018) in Movies
Sep 5, 2018
I was pleasantly surprised when I watched this movie. It reminded me of "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" with it's need of the main character, Simon, to fit in and find his own space in the world. I loved the journey he took, and I was actually so interested that I bought the book this movie was based off of! I haven't read it get, but based on the fact that I liked the movie, I have pretty high hopes.
Mothergamer (1546 KP) rated Death Stranding in Video Games
Jan 7, 2020
One game mechanic I absolutely enjoyed was the fact that there is a multiplayer, but it's not multiplayer in the way you think. You never actually see the other players and they never see you. What you do see is what is left behind to help you on your journey and you can leave behind things to help other players. You can build roads, bridges, ziplines, or leave ladders and climbing ropes on steep cliffs to help others on their journey. There is also a shared locker function which allows you and other players to donate weapons and items for use on your travels. Again, it is a way we as people connect to each other from all over the world. You can also give likes to the helpful things people leave behind.
Exploring the open world of Death Stranding is an adventure in itself with treacherous terrain, dangerous people trying to attack you,(known as mules) and scary ghost like monsters (known as beached things or BTS) it makes you take your time planning out your routes and how you want to get out of those situations. The performances by everyone in the game is fantastic. There are raw emotional moments in parts of the story that moved me to tears. There are beautiful moments that gave me cause to smile as well and I had such a wonderful time with this game. Death Stranding is more than just a delivery game. It is a story about the strength of our connections, bonds, and a promise of hope.
