    This game obviously isn't for everyone. I'm over 150 hours in and about to make it the first game I've ever made platinum. I'll distract myself for a while then start it again with a different perspective and watch out for everything I missed. I truly love this game, even the moments that, at the time, made me feel frustrated out a tad bored. .

    Будет неверным сравнивать этот сюжет с сюжетом РДР 2, но если вообще по краешку рассмотреть, то РДР наскучивает томным и ПОНЯТНЫМ сюжетом, который просто надоедает. Здесь же об сюжет черт голову сломит, ибо только к концу игры хоть что-то начинают пояснять, он также затянут, а в придачу к этому очаровательному повествованию идет такой же очаровательный геймплей, состоящий из бега и ходьбы, может быть, иногда езды. Всем тем, кто скажет, что в игре есть сакральный смысл и нечто большее, передаю пламенный привет, ибо опуститься до того, чтобы просто бегать 50 часов в игре за почти 2000 тысячи я лично не готов. Да даже если бы они просто продали набор катсцен, то все оказалось бы лучше. Как обычно игра нашла своих поклонников, которые строят мосты и ходят туда-сюда десятками часов, но это уже их проблемы.

    Итогом сего произведения от Кодзимы(которого хуй пойми зачем окрестили гением недалекие, ибо кроме МГС, он ничего не сделал) является: для обыденного геймера игру нужно просто пропустить, а сюжет посмотреть на ютубе. Тратить свое время на вот это никому не советую.    … Expand

    It is easily a boring and monothematic monotonous game.
    Especially for the boring loop gameplay and the slowly and repetitive animations for everything. And the plot is just disappointingly bad, like ridiculously bad written.
    And this it was a flat and forgettable experience for me.

    P.s: the framerates drops and the multiple crash are unacceptable for a game porting from console today.

    If you love wasting your money and having your patience tested by what is possibly the most boring piece of garbage ever created, then look no further, death stranding is the game for you.

    And if you're not a masochist, stay as far away from this as possible. I would strongly advise against buying this game even if it's on sale for $0.99

Death Stranding isVery good game. It will always remain in my heart. I have never regretted that I passed the game first on PS4, and now on PC. Many thanks to 505 Games for the optimization. As for the game itself... I must say at once, it is not for everyone. Someone will find it difficult to understand the intricacies of the plot, someone will find the gameplay dull and uninteresting. Death Stranding is the kind of game that it is desirable to pass alone, alone with your thoughts. The plot of the game may seem boring, but only at the beginning. With each chapter, you start to empathize with the heroes of the game more and more. i admit honestly, during the first passage, over the final of the game roared like a **** so he was gorgeous and touching. the stories of many characters make you think about some things and maybe rethink them. death stranding is a game that you need to go through wrapped in a warm blanket, drinking hot tea or mulled wine and just relax and enjoy the story and atmosphere of the game. A well-chosen soundtrack will help you in this. There are certainly disadvantages to the game, but I think you've read about them in other reviews. I would recommend this game to those who do not want to strain and sweat, passing this or that location, those who know how to empathize with the game characters and imbued with their stories, those who love long cutscenes (which by the way are smartly shot). If you belong to this group of players, then feel free to buy the game, you will not regret it. but if you want to quickly run through the story or wait for epic battles and shootouts - this game is not for you. Don't waste your money so you won't be disappointed. Good luck couriers, and may Saint BB help you.… Expand

    Refreshing to play something more cathartic and meditative in the industry but I wish they went all-in on that, it's hard to enjoy fetch-quests and clunky combat, but the environments alone are nice to explore. I'd also lay off the metaphores a bit, naming everything "Strand" just sounds silly after the first few times.

It's not just stupid wandering, but clever running in the wilds, where u have to use ladders, ropes and other equipment to come to your destination.

If you're curious watch a yt video you'd get 99% the same experience but for free. There is almost no game PLAY here, and what there is is very banal, delivering stuff to futuristic cities which could easily just drop ship from altitude with the tech on display everywhere else, ridiculous. Drones? Crying baby if you slip is really annoying. No separate audio options for music, score and voice. Even when I turned down the volume it was too loud on headphones. The story is totally pagan kabbalistic marxist trash. People now are so programmed and dumbed down it's scary, thus the "rave" reviews by the whore presstitutes and retarded players.… Expand

    I was among the ones that said this game was absurd and it would suck, a fedex simulator.
    But i gave it a change and thank the videogame gods i did it. Amazing story, amazing graphics, great actors. And the walking isn't all that bad, it really isn't and you quicky have upgrades that make live very easy.

All other main characters do absolutely nothing, except for calling you ALL the time about stuff they thought of YOU could do for them. Additonaly, this game is not much more than a walking simulator with clouds of emo trying to kill you - whilst listening to horrible whiney-emo music. And whilst Kojima might get a wet panty from working with hollywood actors, they add absolutely nothing to the game. In its best moments its boring, but mostly annoying. And the dialogues are full cringe mode. Its Need For Speed level of cringe. Yes, its that bad. Have you ever thought about rearranging the stuff you carry while you fought a boss? No? Well, why not?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oh boi where do I even begin ?

    this ain't even a game but a culmination of crap design choihes mashed together.

    - tedious and boring gameplay, even a real work as mailman is more exciting.

    - motorcycle is often times useless and feels arcadey because its getting stuck on every goddamn rock there is in existence, and yeah boi theres only rocks.

    - boring and lifeless open world filled with anything but rocks

    - non existent meaningless crap plot

    - way too many too long meaningless cutscenes

    - results prompts that can't be skipped once and for all.

    - for every **** thing theres a mini cutscene that sometimes can't even be skipped !

    Taking a **** ?
    cutscene

    Taking a shower ?
    cutscene

    confirmed delivery ?

    unskippable cutscene in yo face where he takes off his **** chain for the 9000th **** time. Why ? because Hideo Kojima

    - NPC if you even can call them so have always to say the same crap, while Sam says nothing.

    You're Sam Bridges, right ?.
    I expected you.
    The package was excellent.

    for real shut the **** up already.

    - BT are annoying and in no way challenging

    this crap movie is 40h long but has maybe 8h at most. of interesting content, artificial inflation of the game lenght is palpable.

    93 % positive reviews on steam are you **** kidding me ?

    easily the worst game I played in the last 5 years.

    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!

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!

The rest of the game is a bloody masterpiece of storytelling, atmosphere and graphics. This thing in 4K on PC looks absolutely phenomenal, the rendering algorithm they use to display eroded landscape is photorealistic at times (i have mistaken the first landscapes scenes of the game for real life cinematography, it was rendered real-time). You would have thought that such imagery would require a NASA computer, nope, a 2060 Super can run this in 4K. I don't understand the user reviews, people expected another MGS or what? Yes the world is empty since there are rains that kill pretty much everything alive, that dead lifeless world is pretty much the narative to the game. Yes its about delivering stuff from A to B mostly, not every time. The game tends to shake these deliveries interesting by varying challenges you need to overcome to succeed. Yes there is grind but only if you want to and not necessary to finish the game or anything (same as MGS, you get cooler stuff by doing it). And there is this constant drive of mystery that you want to unwind. I was never bored in this game, i have no clue how the hours of this game have passed.

    I have never played a Kojima game before ,but i got interested in DS    First of all i got to say that i rarely review anything ,be it games ,movies ,books or actual physical products ;as i dont really find the need to do so ,but seeing how much i loved this game ,and how much people loved to trash on it when it came out (most of which have never played it) i ought to write this review

    I have never played a Kojima game before ,but i got interested in DS (Death Stranding) after seeing the trailers (which i really loved ,for the visuals ,the music ,but especially for the atmosphere they had going in) ....after the game came out and the reviews started popping out ,i got somewhat skeptical (especially seeing the hate the game got) ,but i still was intersted and wanted to try the game (more so knowing that the creator himself said that the game wont please everyone)

    So i played the game and ...........i loved it from the first moments to the last ones (where i nearly tear up) ,the cinematics were masterfully done ,the character acting superb ,the music GODLY as itreally adds to the atmosphere and makes things 10 times better (i downloaded all three albums from the game after playing it) ,and the graphics have been one of the most stunning i have seen in a while ,now for the story : it starts out really confusing and cryptic ,but believe me when i say everything makes sense in the end (with a lot of plot twists and big reveals) ,the characters all had very well written backstories and the actor's performances were phenomenal (especially Cliff's and Die Hard Man's actors respectively) ,plus the messages the game convey really touched me on a deep level Lets talk about the gameplay (which most people called boring and not fun) while it may have started a little simple ,it gets waay more varied as you progress ,for example you get new ways of transporting the cargo ,new equipment ,new weapons etc (these arent just some cosmetic level additions ,as they make the gameplay very diverse and give you more choices) ,and even though the open world isn't that rich with NPCs ,there's a lot to interact with: from the little interactions with your BB ,the different gameplay elements ,the Async gameplay mechanics ,building roads and structures ,fighting the mules ,the terrorists and the BTs ,trying to optimize your load and take the best route possible ,the different activities you can do in your private room ,the different references and Easter eggs Kojima threw in ,and i can still go on and on and would only scratch the surface ... Im super glad that this game got made ,in a world full of repetitive shooter looters and battle royale games ,DS is a game like no other where you got to experience the gameplay bit by bit ,get to really explore the world as its meant to be ,and most importantly each trip i took felt like a real one (i got really happy when i arrived at my destination ,really frustrated when i lost my cargo ,really immersed and peaceful when i walked and some amazing music kicked in) ....so yeaah i need to stop now otherwise i would write 10 pages and still wont say everything x) ....but believe me this Game is a masterpiece ,Kojima san in a genius and everyone who really loves to have a unique experience ,and has a real grasp of what art is ,needs to play this game ...    … Expand

    It was a really unnecessary game by Hideo Kojima.
    It seems he needed a break after MGSs and this is how he did it. By walking to places and enjoying landscapes. So he made this game.

    Well, I can't say I haven't been warned.

    But let me say upfront that I found a way to - kind of - enjoy "Death Stranding": SKIP.

Don't bother with the "science" or the "lore" or "story", you will come up with a better, more consistent and way    Well, I can't say I haven't been warned.

    But let me say upfront that I found a way to - kind of - enjoy "Death Stranding": SKIP.

    Skip the cutscenes, skip the dialogue, skip the calls, the mails, skip the animated sequences for every single mundane tasks, skip them all.

    Don't bother with the "science" or the "lore" or "story", you will come up with a better, more consistent and way more interesting explanation and message on your own.

    Just make up some new words you milked from Greek and Egyptian mythology, throw in some of the deep philosophy your found in your last fortune cookie, decide that you are going to make some nation of your choice great again, and boom: Now *you* are the genius, one-of-a-kind game designer. Even though you are not doing drugs with Norman Reedus, but hey, that's his loss.

    Maybe even skip the rest of this review. Really. It's just another rant about some of the worst writing and game design that I have seen in a long time, badly hidden under a very thin veil of beautiful graphics and well-done audio. That audio includes a score that I could have grown fond of, if it hadn't been forced on me repeatedly in the most "cinematic" way.

    Also understand that this is not a giant open world game, even though everyone says it is. It's not giant, it's not open, and it's not a world.

    It's a collection of hub worlds full of artificial borders and limitations - including rules and unlocks that don't care about logic or how silly they are, especially if you, against my sage advice, follow the story. Those hubs are littered with the same models and assets puzzled into "cities" that are devoid of life and any interesting features. There are no creatures, and only the tiniest amount of enemy types.

    Even though you supposedly travel across all of America, there is no distinctive level design, not the climate, not the textures, not the flora. There is no day- and-night cycle. There is no weather, except for the rain that tells you that enemies are near. Most of the map that you can actually explore looks completely random and has no regard for even the most basic rules of geography.

    And while I'm supposed to believe that everything has been destoyed, melted and thrown into chaos by some major event that I stopped caring about two hours into the game, I think laziness and having to pour all the money into celebrity appearances might be the actual reason.

    And down in that collection of hubworlds you are basically playing a walking simulator that made the simple act of walking as complicated as possible.

    You read the expression "tank-controls" in a lot in reviews, but a tank has a least some precision. It can change direction without keeling over, and doesn't get stuck in pebbles every five metres. It's instruments don't get stressed out and cry only to stop working for several reasons whenever the plot demands it.

    Later on I accepted that this is all there is, at least as far as gameplay is concerned, and that this is pretty much your only challenge as long as you are not literally throwing shyt at ghosts. You will still need a lot of free time and nothing better to do.

    But if you follow my advice and skip, and skip, and skip some more, this is where you can almost have fun.

    Lay bare the core gameplay loop of getting things from A to B while improving the infrastructure and technology to do it faster and with less problems. It isn't half bad if you do it like that, even though controls, camera and UI get in your way too often and break the flow whenever you let them.

    But the fact that I put dozens of hours into this even though I hated a lot about it tells me that, if you skip all the BS, there is a nice, not overly challenging, sometimes weirdly zen experience to be had, where you can set your own little goals and have your own little story. As long as you, I can't stress this out enough, don't listen to the actual one. Really. You will start asking questions, like, who came up with all that technology after the world ended and you couldn't leave the house and you had no resources and no clue what was going on? You don't want that.

    You have a map, you have your mission markers, you take stuff from point A, where it came from nothing, and you put it down at point B, where it disappears into the void again, and some hologram will say the same thing it always says and give you likes, and who does not like likes?

    Unfortunately you can't skip the crashes and glitches. I haven't had too much troubles, but be aware that the game will require some decent hardware. It's horribly ported and optimized and comes with loads of DRM and telemetry running in the background on top of that.

    But if you are not like me and morbidly curious about "that game that everyone talked about last year", don't waste your money. Don't waste your time. At least wait for a sale, like I did    … Expand

Music, visuals and athmosphere really comes togerher. Best ups courier simulator in recent history :D Also ignore review bombing from idiots that pirated the game this week.

    U dont really have to waste your money, try first 2 hours on steam and make your decision ( game doesnt really change much after this ) If u expected this to be next MGS .. just give up and play something else. I dont care if kojima was ever involved in this, i like it so far ( 15 hours in ). Its something different.

    but i get it .. if its not another hi cocaine action packed game, it just cant succeed in this generation of mediocre esrly access ****    … 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. It is perceived that it is a game made with great care and true affection. For me is a very fun game to. Maybe some playersI think this game is most to mature people and a little excentric.

    На первый взгляд игра кажется однообразной, про обычную доставку грузов, но чем дальше проходишь, тем сюжет сильнее затягивает, и вот ты уже не можешь от неё оторваться.

    The story seemed interesting enough as far as i've seen it, not interesting enough to keep me playing through that atrocious gameplay and see the rest of it thought, almost right away it seemed like this would have made a better movie than a videogame and farther in, i truly felt like i was being trolled as i played, i'm still not sure if it's actually meant as a troll or if kojima lostThe story seemed interesting enough as far as i've seen it, not interesting enough to keep me playing through that atrocious gameplay and see the rest of it thought, almost right away it seemed like this would have made a better movie than a videogame and farther in, i truly felt like i was being trolled as i played, i'm still not sure if it's actually meant as a troll or if kojima lost his mind, it's a pity cause there's some good ideas, mechanics and art in there, but i rather get a real job as a delivery guy and listen to a good audiobook as i do that than "play" this thing, at least i get paid for my suffering, the gameplay is sooo bad, and not the idea of it, that could have maybe been passable if done right, but the actual execution of it is terrible, it doesn't even do well what it set out to do and what it set out to do it's seriously questionable begin with, it's hard to even give it a score at all.… Expand

    Recently purchased on Steam and spent a month or so on this. Invested well over 120 hours in this game.

My recommendation would be not to bother trying to max out every delivery, and max out the STARS at the various facilities and just speed run the game. The story is epic, and it has one of the most incredible endings I've seen in a long time. BTW - There is a known bug in the PC version of this game.

    The following are extremely minor spoilers, I would say they aren't even spoilers but just a good thing to know. The end credits are not the end of the game. AFTER the end credits another scene begins. For me, and several other players on PC once that scene begins and earnest the screen goes black, as if to load something else. This black screen can linger, and ultimately stay there. This is NOT the end of the game. There is well over an hour and 20 minutes of additional story here, mostly told through some pretty awesome cut scenes with incredible motion capture and voice performances. These provide some wonderful exposition and ultimately a very touching and satisfying ending.

    If you don't like games with epic stories, and are focused on action, this game is not for you. This game is highly unique and different. Those who love it... will love it.

    Oh, and a last bit of advice. Focus on zip lines through the mountains... I wasted like 5 days building roads. You're gonna move through a lot faster using the zip lines :)    … Expand

    One of the best games I've played in my life. Those who write that the game is **** they are simply too dumb to understand the game. They prefer first person shooters like CoD. Without thinking, buy a game with a great storyline and not boring gameplay at all

    Things I liked:
    - Artistically amazing landscapes to look at; colours, hues, realistic, immersive, blah blah.
    - Post apocalyptic delapidated structures look very cool & detailed, amazing job environmental artists. Things I didn't like: - Constant in and out of logistics menu nightmare. - Getting penilised for 1 small wrong move on a rock after playing very sensibly for a long time    Things I liked:

    - Getting penilised for 1 small wrong move on a rock after playing very sensibly for a long time then, afterward, mucking about basically jumping off cliffs (because I am frustrated at this boring game) carrying tons of stuff and hey it's fine, just glitch up and down these rocks no problem we'll forgive you.
    - Trucks and bikes can fly.
    - The games motivating factor is 'likes' LOL.
    - Preachy, boring characters that I never felt for.
    - Waste of time, go and get a delivery job instead it'll be more interesting than this.    … 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.
