    Отличная игра, которую я прошел еще на пс 4 и выбил платину. Конечно, зайдет не всем, редкий пример нишевого ААА-проекта. Но все таки никогда еще задания в духе "подай, принеси, пошел вон" не были настолько интересны. Добавьте к этому хорошую музыку, оригинальный сэттинг, сюжет и получится отличная игра. Советую попробовать всемОтличная игра, которую я прошел еще на пс 4 и выбил платину. Конечно, зайдет не всем, редкий пример нишевого ААА-проекта.

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

    I enjoyed the fact hideo tried an entry of something completely different. Music was fantastic, visuals excellent but unfortunately the actual gameplay fell flat for me. Many peoe will enjoy the traversal, but me personally found it boring and to repetitive to invest more of my time. I rated it 5/10 as a you'll either love it or hate.

I played a good 20 hours and payed £50 for it but am reluctant to return to it. I knew it was a gamble I have read the story is amazing but getti g to that point I ran out of steam. Weirdest thing is I would recommend it because it's so different and unusual you have to try it just in case it is your masterpiece... That's how good/bad it is.... There's no denying it's unique it's just boring to a gamer whose been spoilt this generation on playstation. Maybe next time kojima… Expand

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

    Just amazing like PS4. A masterpiece.
    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.

    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

    I'm loving the story and characters so far, it's really well acted and entertaining. It's something new, different from the typical genres.
    It really isn't for everyone, it reminds me to games like Farming Simulator or Truck Simulator, where I don´t get why people play them, but Death Stranding it's really entertaining for me, so now I get it XD

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

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

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

    Very boring, the game is literally made of fetch quest.
    May be fun for people looking to dose off while playing, but definitely not for everyone.

    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.
