    The story is extremely weird and makes no sense. You dont get much explained either.
    You are a postman and considered a hero, even though people can just send stuff to each other via a grid. You just have to deliver lost stuff you randomly find (spawns out of nowhere all the time) or special items that cant be send via that grid. They always say that there are many like you, but you never see any, only the crap they leave behind.
    What do you get for your deliveries? Likes. Yes. Likes. just like on Facebook.
    The USA, where this game plays, also shrunk (while keeping the same shape). Its only a few dozen miles wide now and there is no sign of a former civilization, except some futuristic buildings and rarely a road or car wreck....

    The dialogues and characters are typical for a Japanese game, including their cringy names. Just awkward for everyone non-Japanese.
    The cutscenes are too many and most dont add much to the story, yet they are done very well.
    The controls are rage inducing. Always having to balance your body is just annoying after the first 3 hours. It feels like the devs just tried to make the game slower with that. The bike and other vehicles are no better. At first I thought I am missing a button when I drove the bike, because it was soooo slow (much slower than in the intro). And even when I hit the boost its not much faster. It also gets stuck everywhere and the jump sometimes works and sometimes doesnt. Its random.
    Delivery missions (thats pretty much all you do) get extremely repetitive very quickly as well. Avoiding BTs (having to watch the same animation over and over again, when they are detected) is also just annoying to no end. Also you can pretty much predict where their areas are located every time - they always block your way. Always. Its no challenge. Just annoying, most likely also to make the game slower. And then to top it off you also have to watch for a baby (and have to press about 5 different buttons just to soothe it) that keeps crying all the time if things get a little tougher. Again no challenge, just annoying.
    Your allies just hide in their bunkers. Most of the time you only see their holograms. They never even help you with a squad against those pesky "postmen gone bad", not even with a proper weapon!
    I never got real weapons, aside from some clunky grenades that only damage one type of enemy, while youre pretty much effed against other enemies and have to stealth around them and use gadgets to fool them.
    You always have to carry a pile of extra gear to survive, which massively limits what you can pick up on your way or how fast you can go.
    It still made me play for about 11 hours, but then I had enough. Its just too repetitive and annoying and the story just gets weirder and weirder and so doesnt keep you interested at all - no epic feeling at all, no interesting characters either.
    Oh yeah, and it also features ads and product placement (also in a very weird and immersion-breaking manner).
    No idea at all how this is so popular.

    TL;DR:
    Very weird and annoying postman walking simulator in a very weird post apocalyptic world, where postmen are the ultimate heroes and face unchallenging, very simple and very annoying delivery missions for likes as a reward. It looks very good, but its gameplay is some of the worst and idiotic console crap Ive ever seen.    … Expand

    Very hard to even write the review about this "game".
    It is extremely boring and slow. You are told like 12-15 times in the beginning that this is a Hideo Kojima game, during the first 15 minutes of the opening cutscene, as if you could forget that. As a typical modern console game, the actual gameplay is about 5% of the game, all the rest is watching endless and really slow cutscenes.    Very hard to even write the review about this "game".

It all creates a feeling of absolutely braindead game, which hardly requires any wits to play (basically point to a direction and press W for a few minutes).    … Expand

Well it's a special type of game where everything about it besides the visuals is a complete piece of trash. Death stranding is one of the most disappointing games I have ever played. The gameplay is walking; you put some packages on your back and walk them from point A to point B. I think the goal was to try and turn walking into exciting gameplay, similar to how Mario did. Well you don't do it like this because it sucks. You'll continuously keep falling over and losing your packages for 35 hours straight. The boss fights are an absolute joke. They have no way of defeating you. Later the game turns into the worst 3rd person shooter ever. Kojima even responded to critics addressing this saying, "Americans are big fans of fps games and Death stranding is not." What does the fact that the game is 3rd person shooter have to do with Americans not liking it? Most Americans back in the day played Fortnite. Now about the story: its just meh. It revolves around the kingdom hearts method of story telling where everything is explained but there is still no context for anything. The characters don't stop talking and every single one of them has some dumb thing to say especially the character Fragile. I'd say the only good part about the game is its visuals and voice acting. I can only hope that this is the last strand type game because it is a complete embarrassment.… Expand

I've never played a game before where I was paranoid about tripping, and falling on my face, as I rushed to balance myself. In that respect, it is creative. But do I really want to be a hiking hero? Nah. If they focused on making it a terrain traversal puzzle game. If they made the traversal more challenging and rewarding, instead of the long grind that it is.

    The action elements of the game are tepid and uninspiring. I just wanted to turn them off while hiking and get back to not tripping over rocks and staying out of the rain. If they cut all the fluff around it, the acting, the song track, the lame action/fight then they would have a game. At the moment the auxiliary parts of the game, like the excellent sound track, are the highlights. But if I wanted a soundtrack I would have bought it. And that's the problem with Death Stranding. It's core gameplay is too diluted. It could have been a strong terrain traversal puzzle game where obstacles required ingenuity and creativity from the player to overcome. As it stands, the largest obstacle is the grinding hikes around the country, and the second largest is not tripping.    … Expand

    Everything is frustrating. You tilt, you stumble, you fall, you get stuck on rocks, packages fall off you, the enemies knock your packages off, you fall in water, you slide down slopes, vehicles stick slide bonce and defy physics constantly. The UI is a complete mess and an insult to user interface design. You have to press buttons repeatedly to do anything.

    Animations play constantly and you have to repeatedly skip them. Some you can't skip and they are forced on you by an overly egotistical game designer. Nothing is fast or smooth. It's always slow, bumpy, frustrating, and too much.

    The combat is boring even on hard. There's no challenge at all. The boss fights are auto win they are so easy.

    The story is nonsense and it's told in a very repetitive manner, so many times I was just begging for them to get on with it so I could do something, even if the something was playing this boring game.

    I think the controversy surrounding this “game” is a matter of semantics. It is, in fact, not a video game but rather a 30 hour long movie with about 10 hours of game play interspersed. If you like Sci-Fi flicks then grab the popcorn and settle in for a marathon of a film which will occasionally (very infrequently) ask you to move the mouse or controller.

    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.

    Hideo Kojima failed **** hard and should pay me instead to play his trash and the fanboys on steam are desperate.

The story of the game is a sad joke. The fan theories of what the game could be about was far more interesting than the banal drivel offered in this game. Why is this character called Die Hardman? Because he...died...hard. You'll get typical Hideo Kojima try hard lines like, "I'm Fragile but not that fragile" without the bombastic and interesting cutscenes of the Metal Gear Solid games. The entire game is an exercise in futility.

    The story beats you over the head over and over again with stupid lines like, "We need to be connected" and other things that might have felt "cool" in Kojima's mind but falls flat in execution. Don't be surprised if you end up rolling your eyeballs so far inside your socket at the game's sad excuse for "twists" and "revelations". Only a fool would be unable to see where this predictable trash story is going to lead.

    The gameplay is basically a walking simulator (Amazon Prime delivery simulator) set in an open, empty world with nothing to do. You walk from point A to point B. Unlike what all the idiotic shills like to say, there is no "challenge" in traversing the dumb environment. There are falling rocks that phase through you without doing any damage whatsoever. This must be the "challenge" shills were talking about. The game's online basically has roads and ziplines everywhere so it's easy to travel to and fro without. The combat in this game revolves around throwing poo and pee grenades at dumb bullet sponge enemies. Enemy AI is stupid and can be easily tricked into loops where you can annihilate them.

    The music is basically licensed trash that you can listen to while trudging across America which looks a lot like Iceland than America. It is clear that Kojima spent the bulk of his money on the so called "star studded" losers from TV and film. All that money wasted, on characters you won't care for, on a game that seeks to insult your intelligence by repeating plot points and threads ad nauseum.

    The PC version of the game comes with Denuvo DRM so to hell with gamers willing to pay money for this trash. It also works only on Windows 10 and won't work on GPUs and CPUs that are technically able to run this unappealing wreck of a game. The game still has numerous crashes and bugs on certain hardware setups (check the Steam forums to know the full extent of how bad this game is).

    Death Stranding is quite possibly the worst game made by Hideo Kojima that fails in every aspect. It's no wonder that Sony did not offer him another deal to work with them. They've also stopped revealing sales numbers after the initial flow of articles that said the game sold 200k copies in Japan (total tally is 399k in Japan). Death Stranding was at the top of the list but quickly toppled over after a few days. To this day, Hideo Kojima insists his game is not a flop. If it is not a flop, why won't he reveal the sales numbers? Last Guardian sold around 1.4 million copies. Ghost of Tsushima sold 2.4 million copies in 3 days. Why is Kojima the only one who refuses to state how many copies his game sold? Please don't post me fake stats from Gamstat that says the game has 3 million players (there is something called Game Sharing on Playstation). Besides, Gamstat states on their website that the numbers are not official. What's the point then? Kojima insists his game is a success. I don't believe him. The game flopped big time. The Steam numbers for the game is pathetic as well.

    If you want to spend your time on a quality game, kindly play something else rather than this putrid pile of garbage called Death Stranding. The game spends more time blowing its c__k than in at least trying to engage the player in any meaningful form. A stupid game, made by a narcissistic pseudo intellectual game maker who is riding on the coat tails of past successful games. That's what you'll get with Death Stranding.

    I really don't understand why they made this story into a video game. There is 0 value added to the "experience" by the gameplay. This was the most tedious and frustrating "games" I've ever played. This should have just been a movie, at least then I would be only confused and not angry.

    72 часа странного, но запоминающегося геймплея пролетели почти моментально.
    Спасибо Гению за интереснейший сюжет, персонажей со своими неповторимыми историями, уникальную систему мультиплеера и невероятно хорошо подобранную музыку, дополняющую этот пустынный, но прекрасный открытый мир.
    P.S Удивительно, но моя 1050ti, указанная в минималках, выдавала сочную картинку и играбельные 45 -    72 часа странного, но запоминающегося геймплея пролетели почти моментально.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Seriously dont buy this game, its absolutely crap. There is so many cinematics that sometimes it feels just like you are watching a movie were you are given a choice in which direction you want the movie to go towards.… Expand

    DEATH STRANDING is just a glorified walking simulator where you play the mail man and promote Monster Energy drinks. Because it's got Kojima's name attached to it it's being celebrated as the Second Coming of Christ, if this had been done by a no name independent studio it would get all the 1s of 10s it would deserve.

    My exp: I spent 130 hours and achieved 250+ Legend of Legend of Legend.
    Death Stranding is a boring, repetitive, sloppy game. Game's story is lame. Characters are flat. Player just do deliveries back and forth. Map is an empty structure, so called 'open-world'. Multiplayer experience is poorly designed. I have no idea how this can called as a masterpiece.

    How generous, you spend a huge amount of money to buy a triple-A Product Placement from the famous Hideo Kojima, unless you buy the "Director Cut" version. It's amazing how Kojima can get away with something EA wouldn't even dream of doing it. DO NOT **** BUY IT, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO PLAY IT, GO PIRATE IT.

    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.
