At a time when remakes and remasters are everywhere and seemingly every new popular game creates a dozen similar spin-offs, the gaming world can look fairly homogenous. How original, if at all, does a game have to be in order to be successful?
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.

Exploring the atmosphere for story will always be a formula I adore. It’s the little things that separate them apart for me. And that’s good enough.
