Death Stranding lader til, som mange åbne spil, at bestå af to halvdele, hvoraf den ene handler om en at give spilleren frihed til at udforske, og den anden handler om relativt lineær historiefortælling. Netop samme problematik løb Hideo Kojima ind i med Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, men slår faktisk fast at han har lært af netop den oplevelse.
I et interview med tyske 4Players har han nemlig kunne afsløre, at der faktisk er mere fokus på direkte historiefortælling i Death Stranding sammenlignet med hans sidste Metal Gear.
"So in Phantom Pain I started with a kind of experiment by starting linear. And once the world opens, the story fades in a way. Some Hideo Kojima fans were not happy that the story takes a backseat. But this was done very consciously. This time was the biggest challenge and the biggest obstacle: It's an open world, but at the same time we do not want to reduce the importance of the story, so fans of Hideo Kojima games will not be disappointed."
