죽음의 좌초

11 days left for the 2024 edition of the Naples Comicon.  The most sought-after event for fans of comics, manga and video games.  It will be organized within the exhibition spaces of the Mostra d'Oltremare (the green lung of Naples).  This year the festival reaches its 24th edition and will open its doors from 25 to 28 April, from 10:00 to 19:00.  This year there will also be ample space for jpop music, cinema, sport and this year also for Android/iOS mobile gaming.  Among the most important guests we find the American cartoonist John Romita Jr., one of the most representative artists of the American panorama of recent decades.  His unmistakable trait has distinguished some of the most beloved superhero sagas: Spiderman, Thor, Daredevil and Wolverine.  Furthermore, ample space will also be dedicated to the world of mobile gaming and its flagship titles.  In this regard, there will be many fans of the Final Fantasy saga who will have the opportunity to meet up close with the Japanese game designer and author Yasumi Matsuno, who oversaw the plot and concept design of edition number 12!  Tickets can be named and are divided into daily tickets, which give the participant access exclusively on the chosen date, or subscription tickets which allow entry for all 4 days of the event.  I will post lots of photos and videos of the event here, stay tuned!

✨Overview Death Stranding is an action-adventure game developed by Kojima Productions and directed by Hideo Kojima. Initially released for the PlayStation 4 in 2019, with a subsequent release for Microsoft Windows and now for iOS/iPadOS/Mac Apple devices, the game has garnered attention for its unconventional gameplay mechanics, immersive storytelling, and cinematic presentation. The game is currently being sold in the App Store for $19.99, 50% cheaper than current other offerings.

Death Stranding is renowned for its departure from traditional gaming norms and what adopts what I would like to call an “anti-game” approach. Players assume the role of Sam Porter Bridges, portrayed by Norman Reedus (known for his role as Daryl Dixon from the Walking Dead), navigating a post-apocalyptic world to reconnect isolated cities affected by the mysterious "Death Stranding" event. The gameplay emphasizes the journey itself, with a focus on planning routes, managing cargo, and traversing challenging terrains.
