It's a video game. It's all CG.

It's normal for CG artists to do their best to make their work look like real life and not CG, though. Death Stranding is clearly attempting to look as realistic as they can manage

I think the next quote explains it better:

On the other hand, it’s easier to bring out the details in older people or people with lots of freckles. I’ve tried to use Japanese people in the past, but it’s hard to make them look like their real-life counterparts. However, this time I used new technology, and I’m quite satisfied with the results. Well, I’d like to do even better next time.

He should get tips from the Yakuza team

Or sucker punch. The cast of ghost of tsushima looks identical to their voice actors.

That tip basically boils down to:

Use Japanese face models / voice actors who've been smoking for 20 years, rofl.
