It's like coriander. Or liquorice. Or the band Nickleback. The latest game from cult maker Kojima is splitting the community. Reviewers are calling Death Stranding both "unplayable" and "game of the year". Will you love it or hate it?

Game developer Hideo Kojima enjoys a certain cult status among players and has been dubbed the Quentin Tarantino of gaming. The developer of Metal Gear now has a brand new game. To understand why it's getting so much praise and hatred in equal measure, you just need to play it.
