Death Stranding

Death Stranding ties bigger payouts to a higher chance of losing cargo. Each extra package a player carries raises the payout but also the chance of tumbling and destroying the cargo. Players have to weigh reward against risk.

Game Maker's Toolkit uses it as an example of making losses scale with what the player carries, so danger grows with the player's holdings. The quote: "It's all about weighing up the potential reward."

Death Stranding shows package damage with colour alone, which colourblind players struggle to read. Package labels go from yellow to red to show damage. These look practically identical to some colourblind players, as a Twitter user pointed out.

The fix is to add shapes, patterns or markings so information never depends on colour alone. The source says some games still use colour as the exclusive way to convey information.

Death Stranding offers no control remapping. The game gives players no controller options, so players with motor disabilities cannot move key functions to buttons they can reach. Days Gone is named as another game with none.

The source argues remapping should be offered at game level, not left to system-level remapping, and that presets are not good enough.
