HDR is so lovely in Death stranding. When it starts raining and the sun glints off the wet rocks, that's the next gen feeling. It's the best walking simulator I've ever played!
It does still suffer from pop up here and there when you're running too fast. On ps4 pro that shouldn't happen, at one point I though I could climb up and a huge rock materialized right in front of me. Maybe an SSD would help but I don't know how much of the terrain is actually stored and what is procedurally generated. The invisible walls and how detail tapers off behind them kinda suggests most of it is stored on disk.
