The mood should be as
smoldering cigarette noir,
not kitschy kazoo.

Haiku Reviews: Death Stranding
This is a new series I am attempting to start and continue for a while. It will concern reviewing anything for which I feel inclined, whether it be a book, movie, tv series, or whatever. Today I happen to feel inclined to review Hideo Kojima’s videogame “Death Stranding”.
These fetch quests offer
a postal loop that ticks off
my P.O.ed boxes.
Following a strand
with fumbling fingers, he frayed
the storytelling.
A Fragile ego
cannot weather the time-fall,
the wrinkles showing.
My red flags were raised
when I first saw the gameplay—
no mail is good mail.
Addressed to fanboys
and Konami with love, yet
dead on arrival.
Encapsulated
in grenades of blood and shit
and Monster piss-takes.
The Higgs particle
is deus ex machina,
but can’t save the plot.
Released just in time
for Christmas, it delivers
the holiday ham.
