    A masterpiece with even more enhancements, ultra wide support and hard difficulty. Another Hideo Kojima classic. You do not wanna miss this.

    I gave it a 9 on PS4 but the PC version is absolutely better in every way possible so I'll give it a 10
    Masterpiece! Thank you, Kojima.

    O game mais premiado de 2019 com 80 GOTY'S, Death Stranding está acima da compreensão de muitos e a frente do nosso tempo, sem dúvidas. É difícil colocar em palavras ou definir o tamanho da obra de @hideo_kojima por conta de sua grandeza. Os mistérios que rodeavam o jogo antes de seu lançamento se mantém na gameplay, inclusive até o último instante, mas no final tudo é respondido e esclarecedor. A história é uma das mais envolventes e complexas não só desse ano, ou dessa geração, mas de todos os tempos (sendo muito bem guiada e conectada). A gameplay, dentro de sua proposta, é ótima e inovadora, diferente de tudo que já vimos e conhecemos. Problemas com jogabilidade são mínimos. É muito interessante o paralelo de estar em um mundo vazio, abandonado, entretanto ter inúmeras interações com outros players online, vendo placas de apoio, aviso, trocando likes e aproveitando construções já feitas. A imersão do jogo é um dos pontos mais fortes, se você se dispõe a entrar de cabeça na história com certeza ao finalizar ficará sem saber o que fazer. Os gráficos são provavelmente os melhores já feitos até o presente momento, tendo uma variação grande de cenários também. Death Stranding é uma obra que fica para a história. É muito mais que um estouro de vendas ou um game que busca prêmios, por mais que tenha conseguido. Death Stranding conseguiu o que Hideo Kojima queria: tocar as pessoas de uma forma maior do que um simples game. Não é para todos, de fato, mas para quem aderir a proposta, é uma das melhores experiências que um jogo já ofereceu até hoje.    … Expand

    death stranding on PC is really well optimised, it looks absolutely stunning and it runs perfectly smooth on the highest resolutions with max settings. the game is not a run and gun or spam one button repeatedly to kill everyone and win, but it's a game that requires your passion, time and patience. it's definitely a masterpiece but not for everyone. death stranding is different than alldeath stranding on PC is really well optimised, it looks absolutely stunning and it runs perfectly smooth on the highest resolutions with max settings. the game is not a run and gun or spam one button repeatedly to kill everyone and win, but it's a game that requires your passion, time and patience. it's definitely a masterpiece but not for everyone. death stranding is different than all the games out there. walking for long distances gives you the feeling that you're actually walking across the states. it wouldn't feel real and it wouldn't be immersive if you just ride a super fast vehicle and just get there in 30 seconds. I imagine a post apocalyptic world to have less to no vehicles. while the game isn't another metal gear it does in fact have that kojima vibes into it but in its own way. the game has a very special effect on you that starts kicking in the first two hours. and if you do play this don't expect a shoot'em up kill'em all and roll the credits kinda game. the story takes its time to build up and it's absolutely worth it if you're not in a rush.… Expand

    I've finished and platinumed this game on ps4, bought it again to support Kojumbo and because of the unlocked framerate and bonus goodies. I might be biased since im a huge Kojima fan but in all honesty i think this game was brilliant. The psychological horror, the post apo setting, this whole sense of what the f*ck is going on, that you can only find in a kojima game.

The psychological horror, the post apo setting, this whole sense of what the f*ck is going on, that you can only find in a kojima game.

    The reason why i dont give a perfect review is because despite everything Death stranding does great it still suffers from wonky controls, i've found myself stumbling and falling where i shouldn't be, my character sometimes walking forward without me even touching the joystick and so on. It's not perfect but apart from that the whole experience is simply magical.

    Sitting with BB next to a waterfall while listening to the relaxing tracks that plays whenever you are resting, walking on long stretches of land with songs from Low Roar that was hand picked by Kojima... This game really is a spiritual journey in my opinion. If you havent played it on ps4, definitely pick it up on pc, the unlocked framerate makes it beautifully smooth. If, like me, you played and finished DS on ps4, consider waiting for a sale. Unless you're a die hard kojima fan or simply want to experience the 60+ fps. The game isnt really demanding either so you won't have a hard time running it. See you in the field, Porter.    … Expand

    Not so bad optimized, incredible story, characters and world. Graphics is a little better then on PS 4.
    Death Stranding is a unique fusion of American and Japanese culture. Somewhere it fell to 40 FPS, but it’s not critical.

This keeps happening throughout the game, with new tools, items, vehicles, etc. given to you at just the right moment so as to never become old.
    Having said that, if you're looking for Call of Duty, this isn't it. This game is at times action-packed and fast-pasted, at times, sneaky and stealthy, but mostly it's tranquil and zen.
    If you don't need violence and action to have fun, and can enjoy simple things such as cargo management, delivery route management, keeping your battery powered up, and carefully traversing terrain so as to deliver your goods in the best shape you can, then I'd recommend this game.
    I also love how "multi-player" is integrated. You never see another player, instead you pickup and deliver the cargo they lose on their own journey, utilize the structures they built, and make use of the vehicles and items they leave behind.
    Last but not least, the story, characters, and writing are all executed masterfully. I've never had a game make me cry as much as Death Stranding. Mostly that release day trailer is what makes the tears roll.
    Truly a joy to play. One of the best games I've played in a long, long time.    … Expand

    The story gripped me from start to finish. It's hard to comprehend how any individual could come up with this game's setting and scenarios it puts you through, how the world and it's story unravels around you. While there are some moments that I felt the writing could've been improved that's about the extent of my complaints with the game.

    The PC port is phenomenal.

    I've registered for the first time just to review this game.
    Death stranding is an absolute masterpiece that changed my point of view on some aspects of my life.
    The visuals are so good that I've fear that any other title will look bad from now on.
    The story and narrative is out of the box, never seen anything like that.
    10/10 because this game deserve no less.

Maybe if you find RDR2 boring, Death Stranding is not for you. I can understand that but you have to try it out to be sure or you might miss a very great game. A big thumb up for the OST as well.

    I love how they reverted the trend from standard action/rpg games. they took what usualy is the easiest (walking, world exploration, inventory management) and made it the core of the game. This change of gameplay was very refreshing. I think that who says Death Stranding js a "walking simulator", didn't grasp the revolution of this game.

    The story is immersive (I cried at the ending), you get fond of every character. The curiosity pushed me to do some otherwise unthinkable routes and they were always worth the time. The acting was amazing, some scenes really felt like out of a movie. The soundtrack was amazing and its placement was also very clever: after a very hard way through a BT area, and just before our destination, "Asylum for the feelings" started playing and I was left in awe. I truly am not able to find a con for this game. I haven't played any Kojima game before, but I am definitely a fan now.    … Expand

Es una experiencia que si, quiere divertirte, pero también frustrarte, exigirte mas, sacarte de tu zona de confort y recompensarte a cambio.
    Si bien al principio parece que solo es ir de punto A a punto B, no pasara mucho para que empiecen a aparecer dificultades en el camino, y a medida que avanzas te darán un sin fin de herramientas para poder superarlas, es tanto que el post podría tratarse solo de eso, cerca del final puedes saltar 10 metros, tienes todas las armas del Call of Duty, corta cordones, Exoesqueletos, motos, camiones, etc. Si bien no profundiza mucho en cada aspecto, cumple, pero lo mejor de la jugabilidad sin duda es caminar, el simple hecho de moverte con Sam es lo mejor del juego, y ahí donde mas se nota el verdadero enfoque del mismo.
    A pesar de que mucha gente dice que el juego esta muy vacío, y por eso cuenta con gráficas alucinantes, la verdad es que kojima nos ha dado las herramientas para rellenarlo, carreteras, tirolesas, puentes, generadores, buzones, habitaciones, etc.
    Death Stranding tiene una banda sonora Increíble, de la mejores que he escuchado.
    "Once, There Was an Explosion" tiene una un diseño sonoro y composición alucinantes,
    Secuencias como "Alone We Have No Future" o "The Face of Our New Hope" están increíblemente logradas, "A Final Waltz" es de mi canciones de jefes favoritos, y "BB's Theme" es una obra maestra, es tan fuerte en todos los aspectos que sea ha convertido en mi canción favorita de todos los tiempos, no tengo mas que aplausos para Ludvig Forsell.

    Por diversos motivos nunca había experimentado ningún juego de kojima, una vez le di una oportunidad a Metal Gear V, pero era mucha acción, y no entendía nada de lo que ocurría, simplemente lo deje pensando que Kojima no era para mi, pero luego de Death Stranding estaré esperando con ansias sus próximos Titulos, es un director con un estilo único, tanto así que en 20 años jugando nunca había probado algo igual.    … Expand

    I am about 60 hours into Death Stranding and I think this is one of the best games I played in recent memory. This game is so much more than a “walking simulator”. I bought the game for PC after months of telling myself that I would not enjoy game like Death Stranding because what can be cool about delivering stuff. This concept just sounds boring on the surface but after playing the gameI am about 60 hours into Death Stranding and I think this is one of the best games I played in recent memory. This game is so much more than a “walking simulator”. I bought the game for PC after months of telling myself that I would not enjoy game like Death Stranding because what can be cool about delivering stuff. This concept just sounds boring on the surface but after playing the game for hours I must say that there is so much more into this game than just being a “Fed-ex driver”.

    First being “delivery boy” is not boring because there are different set of challenges player must go through to accomplish the goals. Deliveries can be done in many different ways and as the game progress new equipment / vehicles are unlocked that make delivering easier and faster.

    There is the online component of this game. It is huge part of it in my opinion. Death Stranding without multiplayer would just not be the same. This is the game that combines single player and multiplayer components into one very cool game.

    Because of the online component it does not feel like you are alone in the game. It feels like you are part of huge community with the same goal of reunifying the country.

    You want to help other players. You want to build structures, leave tips and warnings.

    It is rewarding to build structures and then later receive likes from other players because you know that you helped someone else.

    I’ve been in many situations when other players structures help me to finish my delivery faster and more efficiently.

    So building structures is big part of the game. Myself I have spent hours rebuilding highways so other players and I could use it to faster deliveries.

    Then there is the combat. There is a lot of it through out the game. The further you progress the more combat situations you will encounter. You can choose from arsenal of lethal and non-lethal weapons. The combat is very similar to Metal Gear Solid games.

    Then there is the horror component of the game. The more you play it the creepier it becomes.

    Then there is the story which is interesting and the more you play the game the more you want to explore it more to find out what happened next. It is important to read all messages in the game because they explain the world of death stranding and also provide extra missions (like the ones for Cyberpunk 2077.

    Finally, the graphics. Death Stranding cut scenes are probably the closest to photo realism in game I have ever seen. The game is just gorgeous all through out. Playing the game on PC on ultrawide monitor adds to the extra level of immersion because everything in the game is done in ultrawide, including the cut scenes.

    The game is long. There are 12 chapters in the game. I am 60 hours in it and I am on chapter 7 but this is fine because there is no need to rush it whatsoever. You want to take this game slow so you can explore it and learn more about the world of Death Stranding.

    Death Stranding is a must play game for fans of science fiction. It is weird, unusual and yet very addictive game.

    Bottom line is that this game is way more than just a walking simulator.    … Expand

    After reading a lot of trash about this game i thought why not make an opinion on my own so i played it and i really enjoyed it. I went with my expectations low but to be honest this game is really underrated.
    The so called fetch quests aren't really like that, you have to plan carefully your load and even where you step so you don't not ruin the cargo meanwhile you see some of the most beautiful landscapes ever in a videogame so i wouldn't say its boring because the deliveries are not, yes they are time consuming and some of them very hard . I highly 2 things recommend 1st- skip sidequest in the game, you don't gain much doing these but they wear you off, the game can be completed without them, just set focus on the main ones and the game is far much better. 2nd read a lore guide(with no spoilers) of the game before start it takes 5 minutes but makes you understand a lot better from the very beggining.
    The story is really good, a good mix between sci fi and mystic stuff. Oh and it also has some good combat and cool boss fight too and also it keeps giving you new stuff weapons, tools etc., you just have to wait because real action starts later in the game.
    It has a quality few games can presume and a excellent cast and performances and soundtrack.

    The unusual and mysterious world where was interesting to be. Who can think that delivery quests could be interesting? So, I gave 8 because of the novel daring gameplay. I got pleasure. But if I would play a second game like this, I will give max 6. Because characters are naive and enemies too dumb, therefore I can't truly immerse in that world.

It is a slow game and not for those that expect full on action 100% of the time, this does have some action packed moments but also alot of walking. The gameplay is still good and well worth a 10/10.

    La calidad en los gráficos es una locura difícilmente algún juego de esta generación podrá superar lo hecho por el míster kojima. Y aunque es difícil al principio y un poco frustrante realizar las entregas al principio, conforme avanzas en la historia todo mejora y además la trama es fantástica de principio a fin.

    I approached Death Stranding twice. I spent a couple of hours with the PS4 edition and was fascinated with it. I kinda wish I stopped at that and let the game remain a mystery to me rather than complete it later on PC and be disappointed. There are moments when Death Stranding eludes the traditional 1-10 rating system. There are moments when it sets new standards and becomes a truly special experience. But those are just moments scattered throughout tedious gameplay. Still, it is in my opinion one of those games you simply need to play. [10/2020, p.44]

    Death Stranding is asking you to find variety in a daily rut, cooperation possibilities for a character who has fear of contact, scientific explanations in clear-cut mysticism. Today, you’re annoyed that the story doesn’t move forward, and you have to trek into the same ghost-infested area as before, but tomorrow you’ll gladly spend a few hours hauling resources for a new highway and feeling good about it. This source of joy is very weird and defies explanation.

    Death Stranding on PC is the best way to experience this journey. Game is much more than a walking Sim, it mixes and matches a ton of brilliant new ideas and game mechanics. It is bursting with atmosphere, and the overall quality of the production and presentation is fantastic. Other than minor issues and some non-consistent storytelling, Death Stranding shows us that boundaries can be moved in the today gaming world.
