In Death Stranding, you will encounter gigantic, inky whales soaring through stormy skies. You’ll carry a baby in a pod, suspended in mystery fluid, who gives Guillermo del Toro the finger. You’ll giggle at an ad for Norman Reedus’ AMC show, Ride with Norman Reedus. You’ll see crystals shaped like human hands jutting out of the ground. You’ll look up Mads Mikkelsen’s nose (a lot).

Video game auteur Hideo Kojima's latest game is strange, nightmarish, bold, and requires ungodly amounts of patience to complete. It’s a story about family, the cost of progress, the beauties and horrors of modernity, the virtues of finality, and much more. Let's get one thing straight: this game is not for everyone.

If not for the wonders of technology — and world’s most popular ride-sharing app in particular — Vic and Stu never would have met. Vic (Dave Bautista) is an enormous bull-in-a-china-shop-style cop recovering from eye surgery who can’t see well enough to drive (or shoot) on the night of his big bust. Stu (Kumail Nanjiani) is a touchy, easily disconcerted Uber driver who can’t afford to get another one-star review. And “Stuber” is the wildly irreverent, crash-test action-comedy that throws these two polar opposites together for a night of shootouts, stakeouts, and bust-out big laughs, as Vic commandeers Stu’s puny electric car, simultaneously deputizing and endangering its terrified driver, who hates it when you call him “Stuber.”
