    Straight up, you will walk a lot in this game; with that said, it is a wonderful experience. The story is weird and awesome. You have a ton of stuff to do in the game. Yes, you are a UPS truck without the Truck, and humanity is depending on you. Oh, and by the way, you carry a baby everywhere who alerts you to the bad **** that will happen. Did I say the game is weird?

    One of the most unique AAA titles. A breath of fresh air after playing ubisoft and rockstar games. Great graphics, memorable world and good game design. There are a few bad thing about this game like cargo balancing being a simple QTE and terrain traversing being way too easy but it is still great experience.

    Death Stranding is not a game for everyone. A cynical person could say, that Hideo Kojima looked at the most tedious fetch quests from various openworld RPGs, at the most boring aspects of ingame inventory management, and built an entire game around that. A cynical person would be right, in a way. But that's not all this game is. Death Stranding is a game about challenging deliveries ofDeath Stranding is not a game for everyone. A cynical person could say, that Hideo Kojima looked at the most tedious fetch quests from various openworld RPGs, at the most boring aspects of ingame inventory management, and built an entire game around that. A cynical person would be right, in a way. But that's not all this game is. Death Stranding is a game about challenging deliveries of various packages through desolate postapocalyptic landscape. But here's the thing. In Death Stranding, it's not boring. At least if you're invested and interested in the world. True, to an action game fan that just needs a quick shoot'em fix, this might be boring. But a thinking sci-fi fan will get sucked in fast. The worldbuilding and atmosphere is fantastic, and trying to find out more and more about what the hell happened to the world keeps you going. The key thing here is - it's slow. It's deliberately slow. It wants you to pause and think. I hated fetch quests in RPGs like Elder Scrolls or Fallout. But here, it's something entirely different. The landscape itself is your enemy. The weather is too. There are groups of NPCs who try to steal your packages, there are everpresent ghostly BTs that terrorize areas wasted by timefall. So yeah, you're delivering packages, but it's not "just" delivering packages. You're constantly struggling with enormous load on your back, with the unforgiving terrain, with timefall and exposure, with enemies. It's a struggle and it feels great to finally deliver a package and get to safety after a challenging run. While you're running around the ruined landscape, you're connecting isolated pockets of people who somehow survived the apocalypse, and now struggle to carry on. The point is, that what would be tedious and annoying in any other game is challenging and interesting here. This game is different, yes, but in a good way. There's so much more to it than meets the eye. It is a mix of several genres (stealth, action, horror), but survival is probably the most prominent one. The production is fantastic. It feels like you're watching some kind of postapo movie most of the time. There are vibes from Stalker, Thing, Aliens, or maybe more modern movies like Oblivion, Annihilation or Edge of Tomorrow. As always in Hideo Kojima's games, there are tons of mails and additional information you can read, and i recommend everyone to not skip through these materials. This is a game for a thinking person, you have to take it slow, you cannot just jump in, play for 30min and quit. It doesn't work that way. There are truly revolutionary ideas like the invisible enemies, player character's death turned into a gameplay mechanism, weather constantly eroding player-built structures and the ability to indirectly help each other, there's just too much to unpack, to describe, but this little review window is not a proper place to do it. I wholly recommend this game to people who often think about the life, universe and everything :-), who think about how this civilization might end, how it somehow feels downright weird that it hasn't happened yet, about the polarization in todays society, and how internet brought us together and isolated us at the same time. I recommend this game to people who like walking simulators, who like survival and crafting games, who like openworld games for the freedom of being able to go anywhere you want, who like sci-fi and postapocalyptic themes. I don't recommend this game to people who just "collect games", who download a game, and finish it in shortest time possible to move to another title. I don't recommend this game to action game fans, or to casual players. I would give it 10/10, but there are few things that could be better. Mainly, the game has absolutely terrible vehicle physics, and the abundance of multiplayer icons everywhere ruins the beautiful landscape views and therefore the atmosphere. I'd welcome a way to somehow limit the amount of multiplayer icons you see in an area. Also, 505 games really screwed-up the port, and at a time of writing this, there are pretty bad issues. There's a lot of extreme stuttering when loading new areas, and constant crashes to desktop, but afaik this isn't Kojima production's fault, so i'm not counting that towards the final score.… Expand

    First off, this game is a masterpiece. Maybe it's not for everyone, so here's a few thoughts:
    - The game is really about 50% movie, 40% package delivery, and 10% fighting monsters. I was fine with that mix, others may get bored if they're looking for more action.

    - The story overall is deep, mind-bending, and heart-wrenching. It starts dramatically, the middle has some lulls where it loses focus, but the last third starts to really pick up steam again and keep getting better until the very end. Throughout, it comes together from disjointed, out-of-sequence snippets, but in the end they're (almost) all brought together.
    - Visually, an amazing experience. Vivid green landscapes, barren wastelands, supernatural vortices, where it's easy to get lost in the experience of Kojima's world. And great performances from the cast all around.
    - The main storyline has some variety, but the side quests are just of a handful of basic deliver/fetch/recover types. I was enjoying just going around and delivering packages, just relaxing, and there's an abundance of side quests to go on.
    - The social aspect is quite unique, and fit well into the setting. I'm not a social gamer, but you can interact with that portion of the game as little or as much as you'd like.
    - I played with an xbox controller, controls were flaky sometimes, sometimes pushing a button again to enter/exit a menu or vehicle. But only slightly annoying.    … Expand

Pois sim, ele pode ser para todo Mundo, depende muito da época que irá jogar. Pois todos mudamos no decorrer da vida, e o que hoje pode ser apenas um jogo "do entregador do Ifood", amanhã pode ser algo mais.
    Portanto se você é um desses que acha que o jogo é só um "simulador de caminhada e entrega", aconselho a esperar uns anos, ganhe uma barba na cara (metaforicamente falando) e ai pense em jogar, provavelmente vai pensar diferente.

    O jogo tem gráficos inacreditáveis para o final dessa geração, com um pé na nextgen, e aqui no PC você vê o real potencial disso tudo, em UltraWide o jogo fica LINDO, e estou rodando lisinho em um R3600 e uma Geforce 1660 GTX. Otimização SENSACIONAL.

    O jogo tem uma trilha sonora extremamente boa, som e dublagem (br) muito acima da média.

    A jogabilidade não é nada fora da realidade como muitos pensam, quem jogou MGSV não vai ter problemas de se adaptar, tem alguns detalhes e coisas que ao jogarmos percebemos ser diferentes, mas nada fora da realidade de qualquer jogo mundo aberto.
    O Mundo do jogo é morto? SIM, mas isso tem um motivo, e somos apresentados a (quase) todas as explicações do que ocorre nesse Mundo na primeira meia hora de jogo, então só se você tiver um QI de minhoca, não vai sacar que esse Mundo está todo ferrado e tem um motivo.
    O jogo é só caminhada? NÃO. Temos muitos momentos em que vamos querer fugir da ação, pois em vários momentos seremos abordados por inimigos (humanos e sobrenaturais), quando apenas queremos passar de boa para terminar uma longa jornada. E também não é caminhada pois temos veículos, então depois que libera a moto, caminhão e etc, tudo fica mais fácil.
    O grande destaque fica nas expressões faciais dos personagens. É SURREL...muito bem feita.
    A história do jogo é maluca mas tudo faz sentido e se amarra, mais ou menos como a série DARK (que é uma boa comparação).
    O jogo é repetitivo sim, mas qual jogo não é hoje em dia, a diferença é termos um Motivo para essa repetição, um motivo para tudo que está sendo feito, e ao menos isso, Death Stranding te dá, não somos meros "entregadores", como muitos pensam.

    Enfim, é um jogo diferente (mas nem tanto), sua narrativa é INCRÍVEL, e quem gosta de pensar, gosta de enredo com camadas, vai certamente apreciar esse game.

    Obs: Nunca um game que saiu a quase 1 ano se tornou tão ATUAL, em meio a pandemia de Corona Vírus, entendo um pouco mais o Mundo de DS.    … Expand

There was 1 technical issue: after a few hours of playtime the game stopped loading textures which lead to massive glitches, so I had to regularly restart it. Also it was disturbing that the game forced me to watch the credits 2 times before the open world ending. So, the game kinda has 3 consequent endings and forces you to watch the credits.

    Pretty much every modern game is all about traversing across worlds in 3D space, but that is barely represented in the gameplay itself.

You know how in Skyrim you can just click on every item in the game to suck it into your inventory and as long as you're not over-encumbered you can just glide yourself and all that precious cargo up the side of a mountain? Death Stranding feels like a direct response to this. It's a game where you traverse across an open world, and the game is actually about playing the experience of traversing across an open world.

    This game is not for everyone, but if you fall into the target demographic for this type of thing it is absolutely your game and you owe it to yourself to play it, if for no other reason than it successfully gamifies something that in retrospect should have been a more obvious thing to gamify.

    Personally, I have always enjoyed hiking and backpacking and this is by far the game that brings me closest to that type of activity; about an hour and a half in I was walking over some rocky patches of ground and noticed the character kind of do some alternating little leaps from foot to foot to cross it and it looked exactly like how I have hiked on rocky trails before. This is a game that understands walking downhill can actually be harder and more dangerous than the steepest uphill trek.

    The writing? It's Kojima, again if you're in this target demographic then it is absolutely for you; and if you aren't that's ok. The themes are going to be out there, the metaphors are going to be a bit on the nose, no one will talk like any actual human does, but you're still just going to be so invested; the nest time you walk outside and it starts to rain your first thought is going to be about avoiding the timefall.

    I'm not done with the main story yet (16 hours in at the time of typing this), but I can already tell this is going to be a game that sticks with me for many years.    … Expand

The game mechanics is another thing keeping me in, because there's no other game that you will trip over something when you are being careless. The tripping mechanics also helps me understand how to walk faster and it is so funny to see the character keeps tripping but not falling at all.

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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Free drop on Epic games so yeah thanks. I know what I am getting as I spent 160-ish hours in the PS4 version, but now on the superior PC platform.

    VISUALS: Death Standing hasn't really any detailed environments, but what it does have looks pretty. This is not an eye candy game for sure. Character models and the VA are pretty good. The rest of the graphics, animations and gameplay all have a dated look and feel about them. To the point it made me think of the PS3/360 era of gaming.

    STORY & CHARACTERS. A wild story ride of mad science, unethical experimentation and extinction level events. I like the fact Sam's journey is a representation of America. Both at first broken and disconnected, but then healing and coming together, awh. The game has a ton of unlockable lore, but the general story kind of explains enough of the what, why, where and when.

    USER INTERFACE: Controller works fine for all the action gameplay sections. The delivery menu system and offloading items is a bit slow and clunky.

    GAMEPLAY LOOP: Using new and expanding tech to overcome the terrain to deliver goods intact so America/Humanity can progress and reconnect again. While dealing with the odd bandit aka Mules and the minefield like areas of poltergeist-ish BT’s along the way. While maybe picking up lost orders/gear along the way for the player base and/or NPC’s.

    DIFFICULTY: The weight distribution and terrain mechanics make for tense gameplay early on even when going slow. While tech limits makes for more tense encounter with the Mules aka bandits and BT aka poltergeist minefields. After completion of the tutorial zone the amping up of the expanding tech in the main zone allows the player to dominate the terrain, Mules and BT’s very early on (even on very hard). So gameplay wise this is not a very difficult game for the most part. Even boss fights are fairly easy.

    PLAYER PROGRESSION: Character wise we see Sam opening up over the course of events. After being shut off for a very long time due to a personal tragedy. This game also does really give a good visual sense of player progression beyond the story progression. In seeing new levels of expanding tech/buildings dotted around the landscapes where none was before.

    ONLINE: The strand effect which is basically people (the gamers) who have never met working in tandem consciously and/or unconsciously to create a unified collectivist goal. Nobody seems to get paid money for the work? So in Sam case the labour contracts are for housing/equipment deals. The United States of Communism, oof.

    MULTIPLAYER COMPONENT: Without online and a player base this game would maybe suck due to way more grind for resources and part of the games actual story message would be lost. I would not want to play this offline with no player base for sure.

    CRITICISM: The creator can be a bit obvious at times story wise. The perils of technology of going to far to fast. In what makes up the fabric of society and advancement in civilization. Which is why mission giving NPC's are so named by the job they do.

    Constructing those super high ways was an annoying resource grind, but they do allow for faster smoother travel of larger truck deliveries. So the super highways do save time in the long run and I have spent 160 hours in this game in one run, so.

    The off road driving physics are trash and so is the off road driving collision physics trash. The fact I spent a lot of driving off road early game led to many an ARGH moments.

    Even with auto skip on and button bashing as fast as I can. I still can't skip that spreadsheet delivery data fast enough after each completed delivery. I must be into the hundreds when it comes to deliveries made? All that bookworm delivery data gets so old real fast.

    Oh that out of context with the whole of the game Higgs Boss fight is total left field BS.

    HIGHLIGHTS: Speed exo suit and sticky gun! Never has hording stuff been so fun! Death Stranding is weird and everything feels off, wrong. From a post apocalyptic event rises a dystopian society. With Sam's final act of defiance against the dystopian system creating such a fist pump ending. Finished my 2nd run, but 1st run PC. The games performance was smooth and stable on PC compared to PS4.    … Expand

Asegurándose así que sólo los jugadores interesados puedan experimentarlo a su máximo potencial, si esto es malo o bueno es a criterio de cada quién, pero es un hecho que DS demanda al jugador compromiso e interés, o que se marche.
    Sí, es un juego donde se camina mucho, pero ni caminar es una mecánica simple o aburrida aquí, ni es la único para hacer. Death Stranding no sólo es el mejor "walking simulator" sino el más profundo, entretenido y aderezado con mil cosas alrededor, además de un apartado de gestión de recursos interesante, lamentablemente algo lastrado por menúes mal hechos.
    En lo visual y audio, top de lo top indiscutible.
    En historia, si bien al inicio parece una fumada sin sentido. Luego, se convierte en una fumada espectacular con todo el sentido del mundo, cerrando perfectamente y con un moño.
    DS inventó un género? tal vez sí, o tal vez no. Lo que es seguro, es que ahora mismo es imposible hallar un juego similar. Y que habría que juzgarlo por los errores dentro de lo que pretende, y no por cosas externas. Recriminarle que es malo solo porque es un juego de hacer deliveries, es un sinsentido tan absurdo como decir que los Forza son malos porque sólo te permite conducir vehículos. El sólo hecho de hacer algo diferente y arriesgar, no necesariamente es algo a destacar y meritorio si se hace mal. Death Stranding, en general, lo hizo muy bien.    … Expand

    From my initial 20 hours or so, I felt that the game was something I really wanted to keep playing and playing, it had “something” different and unique compared to other games, even though a lot of the normal gameplay in the game can get repetitive, as in many other games, of course.

    This game has a profound message to deliver, not like the packages we do deliver in game, it’s delivered via other sources: story, cinematography, performance capture, the great actors that voiced the characters, and the minds of the creative team who made all of the story in this game what it is: a lot more than just gameplay, sound and cool graphics. This message really hit me hard the more I played, especially in these rough times we live in, but also left me equally happy, afterwards.

    There’s another game from the past few years that made me feel this way, and that game is NieR: Automata, and those of you who’ve played that one might understand it. The game is amazing, the combat, the characters, but…there’s so much more that can’t just be explained by a picture, or a trailer, or a cutscene, is the whole message the game is trying to convey, what’s important.

    With Death Stranding I think this is the case, anyway, I think the game’s conclusion sets everything pretty clear, it’s still open to “more of the same” in a future installment…yes, it is, could be, or could not, it wouldn’t matter, it’s not like the game’s story hasn’t been tied up, it has…but it still leaves stuff to the player so they make their own “theories”, if you will, although I believe with all the lore in game we can read…yes, read, there’s a lot of lore in E-mails in game, that some people might ignore…but with all of the lore, well explained and all, I think it’s hard not to understand what’s the idea behind the story.

    Furthermore, the smart way to add an "online" component to the game gets a very notable mention too: I loved it, yes sometimes the signs other players leave can be too much or annoying, we don't have to spam likes if we don't want but...I just did, as many as I could, because it made me feel I was not alone while playing this, and I'm pretty sure that was the whole point, that we're connected, in many ways, even if we don't even know each other, we still were able to help each other, with stuff we built and left behind. There's a lot more to that idea than it meets the eye but, as many things in Death Stranding, one needs to experience the whole package, so I'll leave it at that, but to me it made the gameplay a lot more interesting because whenever I got to a new area and discovered what the other players had set up there, then I had to plan how to set my own structures up, and that made me scratch my brain a lot, finding the best places to put zip-lines, and whatnot...I just both hated and loved that, because really some of you...some of you didn't use the map a lot, did you? xD, But well, it is what it is, and I had a lot of FUN, which is what matters.

    I have some small negatives about certain aspects of the game that felt a tiny bit clunky at times, and I have to say that some of the boss fights weren’t particularly stellar, mechanically at least; now visually, as most of the game, some of those were great, that’s true.

    If, after all of that huge amount of text, you’re still here, nice, because it’s time to talk a bit about the PC port itself: in summary, it’s a very good PC version of the game, it ran great all the way through on my Ryzen 5 3600 and GTX 1070, no crashes, no slowdowns, no issues, really good performance too.

    Controls are pretty good, with mouse and keyboard because yes, I did play 130 hours of this game with mouse and keyboard, it felt right, because it’s well done, they put time and effort into making the controls work well with this, and they do work amazingly so. Kudos to the devs for understanding what differentiates a PC from a console on this aspect, great job.

    Overall, this is a very unique game, one that us PC gamers could very well have missed, if it would’ve remained exclusive to one sole platform; I’m happy it did not, because Death Stranding is a great game, it’s not a perfect game but…I don’t think I’ve played any perfect game, even the ones with millions of awards (Witcher 3, etc.) are not “perfect”, they’re just…great games, and that’s what matters in the end.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (edited) looool parece que Kojima tiene un par de cientos de haters en metacritic, pero no se preocupen, pueden ver reseñas de gente que si compro el juego en steam.
    ademas de que pueden ver el perfil de metacritic de los que dan 0 y se ve que estan un poco vacios xd.

    RESEÑA con 35 horas de juego (antes 20) y spoilers de las primeras horas:

    HISTORIA

    Death Stranding empieza de una forma muy rara, sin darnos mucho contexto sobre lo que esta pasando y solo mostrandonos nuestro objetivo principal de volver a unir a america.

    esto lo debemos de conseguir conectando todos las ciudades, centros de distribucion, refugios, etc a travez de la red quiral (una clase de internet raro) y de paso ayudar a la gente de estas comunidades con nuestros envios y realizando las tareas que nos piden.

    esto claro esta no sera tarea facil pues en el camino nos encontraremos BT's (los fantasmas), MULAS (bandidos) y terroristas que trataran de evitar que completemos nuestros encargos.

    puntuacion de historia 9.5/10 (antes 9/10) hasta ahora

    JUGABILIDAD

    La jugabilidad de DS al igual que su historia es bastante rara, pues la jugabilidad se centra en la entrega de paquetes y en el ¿como voy a llegar hasta ahi?

    voy a ser sincero, tardas un poco en acostumbrarte a la jugabilidad y mas en las primeras horas de juego, ya que en estas solo cuentas con escaleras y cuerdas para atravesar los increibles paisajes que se ven en el juego, pero que al principio, por las limitaciones que tienes se vuelve un poco complicado.

    despues de pasada la primera zona del juego, este cambia por completo, ya que casi con cada mision que completemos recibiremos alguna clase de equipo (armas, herramientas,mochilas vehiculos) que no ayudaran a facilitarnos las entregas y enfrentarnos a los peligros de mundo de DS.

    los paisajes y el diseño del mundo son increibles, y queda en el jugador la decision sobre como atravesarlo.

    ahora bien, lo ultimo que quiero mencionar en este apartado es como funciona lo que yo denominaria como "la conexion entre jugadores", pues en la historia cada vez que conectamo0s una nueva zona a la red quiral, ademas de ganar el acceso a esta, tambien ganaremos acceso a las construcciones, mensajes y herramientas que otros jugadores dejen ahi para nosotros.

    esto es una experiencia bastante unica, pues si en algun momento construiste un puente en x zona y deseas mejorarlo pero te faltan los materiales para hacerlo, puedes dejar un mensaje en la zona pidiendo ayuda y lo mejor de todo en que si funciona, la comunidad de este juego es algo bastante unico y especial.

    a la jugabilidad le terminaria dando un 8.5/10 (antes 8/10), por que, no es mala pero para muchas personas les puede parecer algo repetitivo

    LOS GRAFICOS

    el apartado grafico del juego esta muy bien cuidado y la verdad es junto con la historia el segundo punto fuerte del juego, es simplemente hermoso, esta lleno de pequeños detalles que a veces no llegas a apreciar a simple vista y si le sumamos que el juego cuenta con modo foto... pues se vuelve una experiencia visual bastante satisfactoria.

    apartado grafico 9/10.

    ADVERTENCIAS el juego cuento con muchos errores de lanzamiento, cinematicas bugeadas crasheos en el menu de inicio, en medio de la partida, etc

    la mayoria de estos fallos fueron arreglados o pueden ser arreglado de forma muy simple, pero ojo, algunos de ellos se deben al equipo en el que juegues DS, pues a decir verdad, mi pc sufre un poco corriendo este juego y si pusiera todo al maximo no creo que podria jugar mas de 10 min sin que explote mi equipos.

    PUNTUACION FINAL: 9 (antes 8.6)    … Expand

    I disagree that Death Stranding is a walking simulator (or maybe it's the only legitimate one). For one, there is actual gameplay beyond that. And more importantly, even the moving around part is much more intricate than what I would expect from that label.

And I don't just mean the balance mechanics where you have to actively compensate the cargo weight you're carrying on your back or in your hands.

    No, for me the most fascinating and enjoyable aspect was looking at the terrain ahead, and decide on the best way to move on. I regularly felt like I was on one of my mountain hikes where I have to use my judgement to find the safest passage, especially because the steepness in general, and especially the slope inclination in relation to your direction of movement, determine if you make it across without plummeting. Add in the inertia mechanics when changing direction, most notably with a heavy load and at speed, and the result is a very involved and - in this case I think this overused term is appropriate - immersive experience.

    I had even more fun after disabling all the indicators for the next ladder or rope, because the landscape is crafted in such a detailed and realistic way that you organically find the most accessible way forward on your own, if you keep your eyes open.

    The visuals are incredible and hauntingly beautiful. And the slow-paced, methodical nature of the game really appeals to me; the experience at times felt almost meditative, like real hiking.    … Expand

    Such a fresh, unique gaming experience. It is a slow burner which requires patience and the story requires an open mind. I can understand that simpletons and kids will not enjoy this because it is too slow for them, not enough action for them, they don’t understand what the game is about. I only recommend it to open-minded, conscious people who don’t have ADHD. Masterpiece.

While its not the best game iv'e ever played, it is the game that has changed me more than any other video game before. Before i can explain this, you need context. About a 3 weeks ago from this review, I was diagnosed with COVID. I wasn't very sick, but the thing that was killing me was the guilt. Having people from my school being quarantined because of me killed my mental state and made me a sad mess. The only thing that was keeping me happy was video games. Death Stranding was a game that i had been on and off playing since September 2020, and it has been a boulder in my backlog. When i started playing it again during my quarantine, i was on chapter 4. 2 days later, i had completed the game and was almost in tears. Sure the game play is a SLOG sometimes and its extremely frustrating at times, but it made me feel all the more accomplished when I was finished. So many times when I was just going from point to point in the game, mostly on foot, I just found myself feeling so free and happy, whether its the gorgeous visuals or the serenading music. I can not tell you how many times i put my controller down and just stared at the screen in amazement and just marvel at what Kojimas team had created. But the best element about this game is the story. It single handedly changed my thought of what stories we can create in a video game. The universe that Kojima created while a little confusing at times, you come to connect with it because you ARE the reason it exists in the first place. You as the player brings everyone together in the story, and it is immensely satisfying to see the outcome. And my god the performances, jesus christ they are fantastic. I wont spoil it for you, but Troy Bakers character and Tommie Jenkins character are scene stealing at some points. The ending is basically a hour long movie, and Im not gonna lie i cried. This game means so much as it was my main comfort in one of the worst times of my life. Thank you for reading this review, and I hope that you get to experience this game in some way shape or form. Its truly some of the best the medium has to offer.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I guess this is one game where I actually agree with critics over the general gaming player base. This game reeled me in hard. I enjoy the setting, the pace, the characters and especially the strand type multiplayer aspect. I thought it was all really well done. Unique only begins to describe this experience. I also don't seem to have the same PC bugs some people are having. I installed the latest Nvidia driver which has specific things in it for this game, and the performance on PC is just fine.

    At the end of the day, I play games to have fun, and to escape reality. This game does both of those things amazingly well. I have tons of fun in this world. You can break the game down to is most simple component and complain it's just a "glorified fetch quest simulator". But can't you do that with just about any game? Break it down to its core component and complain about it?

    It's clear to me while playing Death Stranding that Kojima had a vision and stuck to it. This is his creation through and through. I enjoy it immensely for that. The quests to me are designed to make you feel the weight Sam is bearing. It is a slog ad times. But if you put yourself into that mindset, what it might actually feel like to be Sam, i think it really works. finally making a large delivery after slogging through the environment its rewarding.

    I also enjoy the story a lot. I am seeing a lot of complaints about bad writing and cringe worthy cut scenes, and i just don't understand that. This is a Sci-Fi world, things aren't supposed to make perfect sense. I feel the characters are all well done and not cringey in the slightest.

    The last thing I would say is, i think this is the first game I have ever played where the environment itself feels like its own character. The landscape Kojima and his team created is so absolutely incredible to me. People are complaining that it is empty, but to me it fits the world that was created. It also is not totally empty if you connect while playing, and see what other players have created. Also, there is just something so special to me about the strand type multiplayer. some people don't seem to think its anything special but to me it's amazing. The fact that I can struggle through some terrain, then come back later and build a bridge or put down a rope, which could help the next player through on their FIRST time through that terrain... it's just so cool to me.

    To summarize, I don't really even know exactly why I like this game so much. I can't put my finger on a single aspect that i can point to and just say yeah.. that is it... that's why i love it. But I do love this game. There is something about it that calls to me and makes me come back, make some more deliveries, build a bridge or ladder here or there, share some supplies in a difficult area of the map, find some more of the rich lore scattered literally everywhere. It all just speaks to me. If this type of unique, hard to describe experience is something you think you might like, give it a shot. You never know. If you are looking for explosions, shooting, action-packed, fast paced combat, in your face bombastic cut scenes and things like that, then yeah, you probably should avoid this.    … Expand

There are so many different tools you can get a hold of that alter the experience and equipment that can make traversing certain landscapes much easier. It sometimes seems as if people just like to **** on this game because it is a 'walking simulator' but it is so much more than that. I do find it strange that there are so many people leaving negative reviews saying the story and gameplay are boring when, according to steam, only 3.7% of people have actually completed the game (this only accounts for steam, but nobody in their right mind would buy it on Epic Games Launcher anyways) . It can be said that this game is definitely not for everyone. If you have a short attention span, or do not like very story intense games, then i would say it is not worth a purchase. It is also worth adding that the first few hours are much slower than later on. So far, i have immensely enjoyed my experience with the game, even with it being a second play through, and am one achievement away from getting them all.

    Im here because i cannot stand the metacritic users anymore. Especially 12 year olds who are not able to grasp that especially older gamers would like to experience something new. Every game must be made for them or its bad. So every game must be a new cod or Battle Royale. And Kojima did exactly that! He built something new, something not like that.

This is not a perfect game, People who like to play an audiovisual, movie like experience will give it an 8 or 9 out of 10. People who don´t like running around, enjoying the beautiful landscape and soundtrack will not like it, the game even then, is still not bad, so take -2 away in that case.

    Pros:
    - Beautiful opimized and visually stunning game with implementation of dlss 2.0 on nvidia cards. Even with a cheaper card of that kind the game runs perfect up to 2560x1440. Even 4k is possible then, bit not at 60 fps.
    Stunning audiovisuals in general. Beautiful well placed soundtrack, that only sometimes disturbes natures music
    - Lots of things to do
    - Movie Like experience (that can be bad).
    - You don`t see the other players, but you see their doings. A well placed bridge on a big chasm, that someone placed there for everyone to use. (its not that easy, you have to run around with a big amount of resources that you have to get first if you want to help others. What you get from this is their likes. Like Facebook.

    Cons
    - still some bugs on pc, but not that bad.
    - The beautiful landscape can get filled by bridges, lamps, signs, and everything other players built there. That is not bad, but its disturbes at times the perfect landscape. If you go to new places, you won`t see this stuff at first.

    I have 900 games on steam, and i played maybe 20% of them. I support the industry because i work in the industry myself. But im bored and don`t have the time to play most of the games. So this game was stunning to me, something fascinating that got me through work at home and the boring reality of games like Cod and Battle Royale and games that try to please everyone and so in the end please no one.    … Expand

    Great game and it meant a lot to me. I played it in a hard moment at my life and Death Stranding had a nice touch to things that I was thinking at the moment. At the same time, I really think Kojima has overexposed a lot in this game, to the point that it looks like he underrated the playerbase inteligence. I hope the upcoming sequence don't do it again - even 'cause we already know the setting.

    Gameplay

    Definitely will be the biggest point of contention and the biggest turn-off. The gameplay is mainly focused on walking around delivering packages between different locations. The walking is surprisingly engaging though as you need to keep your balance and pay attention to the environment around you when walking to make sure you don’t fall and that you can have packages in the best condition. There are also vehicles that can speed up walking, the vehicles are a bit difficult to control especially when maneuvering around rocks which there are a lot of. The “strand” elements of the game are definitely the most interesting, you are able to build structures to help you maneuver the environment such as zip lines, bridges or ladders. Those structures can be built by other people and will appear in your world, essentially there is a connection between you and other players through these structures that can help you along in the game, you can subsequently build other structures to help people as well, you receive likes for doing everything in the game and a whole category of likes is getting them from other online players for using your structures or liking them. The connected nature of the gameplay in this element fits in well with the themes of the story which will be discussed later. This is the first game I’ve played that has elements like this built into the game, Dark Souls has this slightly with signs but not on the level that exists here. There are also some minor third-person shooter elements though they are a small part of the game and are definitely the most generic, the shooting isn’t really that satisfying and was my least enjoyable part of the gameplay.

    Story

    The story is the best aspect of the game and I will keep it brief as to not spoil it. The story essentially is about going from location to location connecting places to a sort of internet network in order to rebuild America, a huge theme of the story is connection. The story unfolds through a lot of cut scenes and dialogue and overall is fantastically well written and told. There are high emotional moments throughout and fantastic characters that you spend a lot of time with and learn about in full. The story goes very in-depth in explaining this incredible world that has been crafted to give an understanding that is unmatched in many other games. While some of the dialogue isn’t very good it is a minimal amount and overall the story is incredible. The top talented actors and voice actors make the lengthy cutscenes an enjoyable experience that grips you into the story. The theme of connection is tied right into the gameplay with the strand elements that work better than many other games that try to tie elements to the story. This tied with the mystery will keep you wanting to continue the story.

    Graphics

    The graphics of the game are stunning as it creates landscapes from Iceland in a beautiful fashion. The character models also all look really great. The models of the BT’s which are the main enemy of the game are unique and creates a great atmosphere.

    Soundtrack

    The soundtrack features many really good songs that work very well with the game, the songs will make you yearn for more and can often evoke the adventure-like nature of the game. There is one song towards the conclusion of the game that is so beautiful and emotional that I still listen to it even after finishing the game.

    Conclusion

    Death Stranding is a very weird game, it has a fantastic story and soundtrack with good gameplay that I enjoyed. The gameplay will not work for everyone and as such the game is not for everyone. If you can find something in the gameplay and love great single-player stories then this will be one of the best you can choose from. I loved it and am excited for more from Kojima.    … Expand

I will always carry this game in my heart, I did not feel lonely, but with solitude. I didn't give 10 because really sometimes the game gets repetitive in the side missions, which are mostly shallow. Also, the soundtrack is 10/10, I'm so proud for this game to present me the Low Roar band to me.… Expand

    死亡搁浅一直都算是评分两极分化的代表了，但是个人而言十分喜欢它的这套玩法，送快递这个简单且别样的玩法却能与游戏主旨联系紧密，绝对是表达该游戏主题最适合的玩法，在经历了长途跋涉后柳暗花明，又或者是收到其他玩家的帮助。cg数量可能有点多
    死亡搁浅可以说是真正的将玩法与叙事结合，就像一个独立游戏一般，去做这些商业化游戏不敢去做的事，一定会有越来越多的开发者受到他的启发的    死亡搁浅一直都算是评分两极分化的代表了，但是个人而言十分喜欢它的这套玩法，送快递这个简单且别样的玩法却能与游戏主旨联系紧密，绝对是表达该游戏主题最适合的玩法，在经历了长途跋涉后柳暗花明，又或者是收到其他玩家的帮助。cg数量可能有点多

Esperando para ver DS2 en 2024 I'm not giving it a 10, becouse of the beggining which is confusing and slow, clearly the obstacle of contempling this beauty. The story is moving and frenetic the characters are incredible how they develop and they form their personality. The game is interesting and is not as easy or simple as someones says.

    Some people may find the gameplay repetitive and boring. But I (average ETS2 enjoyer) find it simply not as dynamic as in other action-adventure games. Except well-made plot, the game also contents deep author reflection that has held me for a long time.

    Of course, DS is not an ideal game. There were some annoying things, but I have already forgotten about them. The most disappointing one is the fact that you can't listen to beautiful soundtrack while doing orders.

Além de tudo isso, tem um mundo conectado com outros jogadores que estão jogando Death Stranding com sistema de estruturas e placas que ajudam nos obstáculos do cenário do atual Estados Unidos pós-apocalítico em forma de ajudar uma comunidade. Lembre-se estamos conectados.

    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.
