PlayStation's attempt to summarize the plot of Death Stranding in six minutes is heroic and doomed

Remember when Mass Effect 2 launched on the PlayStation 3? Because the original game had been an exclusive, PlayStation owners were thrown a bone in the form of the free Genesis DLC, a story recap that caught them up on the events of the original game in case they didn't own a PC or Xbox to play it on.

Mass Effect: Genesis condensed a 30-hour RPG down to roughly 14 minutes. Sony's attempt to do the same for Death Stranding is a six-minute video recap of a game that's twice as long and like five times as circuitous.
