my understanding of strand-type games is that they're single player games that can be affected by other players without them actively being involved. is dark souls a strand type game?
>>

Strand game as a Death Stranding, game about making connections. In DS you're building bridges, cannons, ziplines, motorways etc to connect regions and shelters together. In this sense Snowrunner and Roadcraft are strand type games because they're either about finding a working connection between various facilities or actually building such connection yourself.

You're missing Roadcraft.

Any of these Strand games has a story focus like Death Stranding or is it just pure gameplay mechanics?
>>

I don't think Kojimbo meant "Story elements" when he told everyone that strand-game will be the new genre. It's about gameplay mechanics.

DS2 is not a strand type game.

Mars first logistics, it's a strand like with an engineering component, and it's got co-op. You can build roads, pipelines, and monorails to aid in the delivery of various physics based goods across the martian surface with vehicles you build out of components you unlock. It's fun alone or with friends.

What is the earliest strand type game? Railroad tycoon?

>>736382356
That game where you play as a red robot and make a plant grow by riding the vines or whatever

>>736385087
No that requires money.

This image made me realise that a LEGO strand type game would be the absolute pinnacle of the genre.
