    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 think this game is most to mature people and a little excentric. There is a serious purpose to do different, to innovate and put the player in a different perspective than common in other games. The storyline is a excellent sci fi, very intersting and intriging.

    Games are rapidly becoming more and more generic. Shoot this, puzzle this. Often it's the same concept with a different skin. Death stranding dares to be different and does it wonderfully. It is a story about reconnecting which is very relevant these days. Graphics are great, gameplay is great, music is great, story is great. Definitely worth the high metascore.

    Death Stranding is such a special game. When it original launched on PS4 I thought it looked extremely boring and bad. However, after I ended up trying it out I fell in love with it and it was my 2019 GOTY. Now that it’s on PC I’m extremely happy to experience it again with better settings and a much higher frame rate. I give it a 9.5 out of 10.

    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

    All my high expectations have been surpassed! This is the Kojima's game that surpasses Metal Gear (even if they are not comparable genre wise). As a matter of fact, there's no genre that can define Death Stranding! It's a one-in-a-lifetime experience with contemplative, artistic and philosophical moments alternating with a powerful blend of stealth, survival horror, and adventure!

    I    All my high expectations have been surpassed! This is the Kojima's game that surpasses Metal Gear (even if they are not comparable genre wise). As a matter of fact, there's no genre that can define Death Stranding! It's a one-in-a-lifetime experience with contemplative, artistic and philosophical moments alternating with a powerful blend of stealth, survival horror, and adventure!

    I COMPLETELY DISAGREE WITH THE WALKING SIMULATOR MEME! At no point during this game you're simulating any of your typical walks, unless of course you meet sinister creatures, futuristic soldiers or other obstacles during your everyday walks and you need to avoid/fight them whilst managing your inventory tactically! Also, you don't even walk. Precisely, during your connection quests you jog, drive, ride, skate, etc. instead!

    No, Denuvo anti-piracy system is not causing any problem whatsoever, unlike what was assumed by some nonsensical rumors.

    PROS:
    + Jaw-dropping details!
    + Kojima's genius and humour are back!
    + Induces a natural urge to explore its immense beauty!
    + Unique and genre-defying gameplay mechanics and meta-games.
    + The asynchronous multiplayer feels organic and brilliant.
    + Decently satisfying combat system.
    + Photo mode is indescribably fun!
    + You interact with a non-stop flow of video poetry.
    + Mesmerising direction and fantastic acting performances!
    + Touching and mind-bending philosophy.
    + Memorable soundtrack.
    + High replayability value.

    CONS:
    - Probably the worst game to Twitch. This is to be experienced first-hand.
    - The interface may feel intimidating at first.
    - This title more than any other should become cross-play at some point.
    - Combat may be repetitive
    - We should be able to change the colour of the writing "Tomorrow is in your hands" in photo mode.
    - The story ends, unfortunately!

Playing on Very Hard Difficulty. This game is meant to build a sustainable mindset that keeps you alive when so many other games numb you to throw the baby out with the bath water.

    If you play with the online network, you join all other users in building a neo-America. So to say this game is a delivery man walking simulator is quite shallow.

    You must think about the DNA structure and how it consists of a primary structure, and then secondary bonds of the single strand, and then tertiary bonds with other strands. The walking and delivery component is merely the primary structure. The goal is gene expression, when you reach tertiary bonding to express a fully realized operational city base linking to other city bases - all from user bases' creation.

    Therefore, maybe its like a sim city - from the ground, building up. or rather, a sim-neo-America.

    If players keep playing, it can only keep evolving throughout the years.

    The negative reviews must only mean 1 thing. They are trying to prevent the advent of neo-America.    … Expand

    Desde mi punto de vista, el juego requiere que te intereses por él, no consiste en un juego de acción que te "escupe" la trama, a veces habrás de buscarla. Tú mismo recorres el camino de la historia.

    El gameplay consigue meterte en la sensación que el mundo refleja, es un mundo cambiado, difícil y peligroso donde los repartidores juegan un papel esencial, y en su trabajo calcular la ruta y el tiempo es vital. Puede ser frustrante caerte y pensar que los controles son toscos, pero así es cuando llevas una carga, el juego te deja claro además que los vehículos no son ni tanques ni todoterrenos.

    Añadir que su funcionamiento en PC está super bien optimizado, incluso con un hardware peor que lo mínimo especificado podrás disfrutarlo

I really think Kojima did his best – his new best – in that game. His way of storytelling is not for everyone. I think majority of people won't like his works because the worlds of Kojima stand on something that is not real for us – and if you want to understand a game, you should turn off your brain and forget everything. Either you convince, or you think the game is delirium. I am used to Kojima's way with the help of MGS series. I passed stages of rage and negation.I entered the stage of acceptance. And I lost it when I finished the game. Now my world feels incomplete. Once I was even scared to go outside in the rain. The game awakened primal fear. The game broke the fourth wall so well it made me uncomfortable. That's the way. Bravo. Hideo, I am waiting for other masterpieces. I would also like to express my gratitude to the development team for making a competent port and the game has been working perfectly since release. The close-to-reality graphics struck from the first minute, I thought it was a recorded video, but it was a cutscene on a game engine. My only remark about the technical performance is that, I think, anisotropic filtering not working very good in "city" landscape, a lot of shimmer on the horizon. And also the health bars and shoes got less anti-aliasing and this is very noticeable when they are next to beautiful, perfectly anti-aliased equipment icons. Looks like the bars were upscaled from 360p to FHD and the icons were native FHD. but this is irrelevant. thank you again, thank you all!… Expand

The soundtrack for me was one of the highlights! struggling and feeling every step while scaling a huge daunting mountain, falling and failing repeatedly only to overcome it and reach the summit and look over the beautiful photo-realistic scenery while the beautiful music from Low Roar plays is an experience you really need to experience.

    The loop was both addicting and relaxing, the story was both deep and enjoyable and the casting is out of this world. It doesn't put it's best foot forward for the first 2 hours but Japanese development focuses more on backend heavy design rather than frontend heavy design like in the west. If you are a little bit patient and can find it in your heart to give something slightly different than a 30-hour pew pew shooty game then the pay off is amazing. wholeheartedly recommend it. 10/10 for me personally.

    I want to finish by just saying I'm not a Hideo Kojima fanboy as I've never played any of his other games so it's not the name that's influencing this, I understand this game isn't for everyone but I'm sick of seeing everyone branding every positive review as a "Hideo fanboy" so I had to say it     … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Отличный сюжет, интересный gameplay, хорошая оптимизация на PC. Нужно отдать должное за то, какую историю Хидео Кодзима написал для этой игры, у него недооценённый талант в создании умопомрачительных историй. Дизайн, атмосфера, окружение всё гармонично сочетается с неторопливым и загадочным повествованием. Gameplay в игре некоторым людям покажется скучным и они не взирая ни на что, бросят игру и скорее всего напишут отрицательный отзыв, даже не вникая в суть игры. Я считаю что, gameplay сделан так чтобы прочувствовать всю сложность и нелёгкость пути, естественно я рекомендую проходить такие игры исключительно на "Очень высокой сложности" и постараться выполнить все достижения. То есть, проходя Death Stranding постарайтесь сделать это максимально правильно (тогда получите от неё максимальное удовольствие), да на это уйдёт несколько десятков часов или даже сотня с лишним, но если вы не готовы оттачивать свои навыки, тогда просто нет смысла покупать данную игру. К таким играм стоит относится не только как к сюжетной одноразовой игре, но и как к например играм по типу "dark souls", то есть вам придётся сделать множество попыток, чтобы минимизировать свои ошибки.
    Техническая составляющая игры также не может не радовать. Освещение, текстуры, тени, прогрузка объектов и карты - всё сделано как в качественных AAA - проектах. Карта кстати прогружается в реальном времени, так что если вы имеете хороший PC, то загрузок никаких не будет, в моём случае даже на SSD устанавливать не пришлось. Замечал, что некоторые пользователи жалуются на ошибки и вылеты, но они связаны исключительно с видеодрайверами, а в частности NVIDIA. В целом оптимизация на PC мне очень понравилась, фпс стабильный, картинка плавная.
    Итог: Истинным ценителям игр я конечно же рекомендую приобрести Death Stranding, но для тех кто не уверен, посмотрите хотя бы Gameplay без спойлеров, может вам игра не понравится, она не для всех.    … Expand

    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.
