Death Stranding Director's Cut is Kojima Productions' delivery-and-traversal game, where every trip means balancing cargo on Sam's back across hostile terrain. These are the PC defaults from the in-game Key Assignments screens, with controller buttons where the game's own Basic Controls diagram shows them; keyboard and mouse are fully remappable.
