Deep into the game, near the end, there is a boss fight that is almost literally recreating a famous Metal Gear Solid 4 ending boss fight.

I'm a big Kojima fan. I had a lot of fun with Death Stranding, but it is just busy work delivering and exploring, which I found mostly entertaining. I liked the solitude. I also liked a lot of the story but holy hell I still don't understand a lot of it. Also the ending takes hours. Every time you think it's literally the end of the story, there's more.

The Conan Obrien easter eggs alone though made it all worth it. I still rattle those jokes off.
