    Can't. Stop. Playing. Easily best game of 2020.

    Gorgeous graphics. Captivating storyline. Addictive gameplay (but addictive like water, or food, not crack). Superb soundtrack. A (semi)unique online experience - think Dark Souls. All in all, highly recommended. Do not listen to negative reviews of people, who haven't even played the game. saying its Amazon Delivery Simulator 2020,    Can't. Stop. Playing.

    I've played for 15+ hours on the PC version on hard. I must say I still love this game. It gives me a sense of exploration, og solitude, excitement and even wonder and psychological horror. It's not often a game brings so many emotions and I love the atmosphere and music. I give this a solid 9 out of 10.

    Other fav games: The Witcher 3, Dark Souls, Ni No Kuni, Ori, Monster Hunter, RDR2, ++

    Personally I enjoyed the gameplay elements, especially the collaborative multiplayer elements where you feel your connection with other players even though you never meet them.

    The game is best enjoyed when you know what you're signing up for, this is a collaborative resource management simulation with a beautifully interwoven story some parts are told ingame and others are told in very long cutscenes - just sit back and enjoy because they usually take 30+ minutes each (can be paused).

    Graphics are beautiful and the experience was surreal and beautiful.    … Expand

    I am about 60 hours into Death Stranding and I think this is one of the best games I played in recent memory. This game is so much more than a “walking simulator”. I bought the game for PC after months of telling myself that I would not enjoy game like Death Stranding because what can be cool about delivering stuff. This concept just sounds boring on the surface but after playing the gameI am about 60 hours into Death Stranding and I think this is one of the best games I played in recent memory. This game is so much more than a “walking simulator”. I bought the game for PC after months of telling myself that I would not enjoy game like Death Stranding because what can be cool about delivering stuff. This concept just sounds boring on the surface but after playing the game for hours I must say that there is so much more into this game than just being a “Fed-ex driver”.

    First being “delivery boy” is not boring because there are different set of challenges player must go through to accomplish the goals. Deliveries can be done in many different ways and as the game progress new equipment / vehicles are unlocked that make delivering easier and faster.

    There is the online component of this game. It is huge part of it in my opinion. Death Stranding without multiplayer would just not be the same. This is the game that combines single player and multiplayer components into one very cool game.

    Because of the online component it does not feel like you are alone in the game. It feels like you are part of huge community with the same goal of reunifying the country.

    You want to help other players. You want to build structures, leave tips and warnings.

    It is rewarding to build structures and then later receive likes from other players because you know that you helped someone else.

    I’ve been in many situations when other players structures help me to finish my delivery faster and more efficiently.

    So building structures is big part of the game. Myself I have spent hours rebuilding highways so other players and I could use it to faster deliveries.

    Then there is the combat. There is a lot of it through out the game. The further you progress the more combat situations you will encounter. You can choose from arsenal of lethal and non-lethal weapons. The combat is very similar to Metal Gear Solid games.

    Then there is the horror component of the game. The more you play it the creepier it becomes.

    Then there is the story which is interesting and the more you play the game the more you want to explore it more to find out what happened next. It is important to read all messages in the game because they explain the world of death stranding and also provide extra missions (like the ones for Cyberpunk 2077.

    Finally, the graphics. Death Stranding cut scenes are probably the closest to photo realism in game I have ever seen. The game is just gorgeous all through out. Playing the game on PC on ultrawide monitor adds to the extra level of immersion because everything in the game is done in ultrawide, including the cut scenes.

    The game is long. There are 12 chapters in the game. I am 60 hours in it and I am on chapter 7 but this is fine because there is no need to rush it whatsoever. You want to take this game slow so you can explore it and learn more about the world of Death Stranding.

    Death Stranding is a must play game for fans of science fiction. It is weird, unusual and yet very addictive game.

    Bottom line is that this game is way more than just a walking simulator.    … Expand

    Truly a masterpiece in so many ways, from the photorealistic visuals and incredible framerate, to the amazing writing and sometimes funny dialogue. An incredible achievement from Kojima, a game that gives you back what you put into it with chill vibes interspersed with intense action and suspense. I spare spoilers but at certain points it really feels like metal gear solid evolved.Truly a masterpiece in so many ways, from the photorealistic visuals and incredible framerate, to the amazing writing and sometimes funny dialogue.

    A masterpiece.

    But it is not for everybody. Definitely.

    If you like a good story, with unique gameplay play it. The higher is your IQ the faster you'll finish it. And you must play it in online mode otherwise it will be tedious and all the uniqueness will be gone.

So you have the introduction, so you can see I am not hater of SONY, although I do not have their console. Now to most honest review regarding DS. I was expecting boring walking simulator (as a lot haters says). I buy the game on PC and try to stay with open mind and without any influence. So what you get from DS? It starts slowly with A LOT cinematics... but it is just due to slow and carefull introduction in to this strange world. I keep comming back to the game night by night and long cinematics stops and GAMEPLAY opens to full potential. It is not walking simulator. Definately not. IT HAS ADDICTIVE GAMEPLAY ACTUALLY. Audio-video is at very high standard, animations are great. Story is interesting, world is AMAZING, as well as atmosphere. I explore everything myself and find this world and creator of this world nearly genius, because nobody ni gaming industry offers you such a detaily described and rich world of unknown with all of its details, which starsts to make sense. As game opens, its freely up to you... u can do side quests, do what you want, upgrade what you want and explore they way you want. You can build and make your life easier, you can fix vehicle early on to open possibilities... I am 15hrs in and game is STILL THROWING new and new things to me! Look, I game like over 35 years already, and if this game does not deserve full max score 10/10 I really do not know, which other game can deserve this. You have like everything in here and with very high standard executed. I recommend this game to anyone sink their time in to. It is really worth it. REgarding performance - I have just a average PC, but game runs on max without problem on 1440p on my sysstem. I did not have single crash to desktop or single bug. Game is not stutter on my PC at all. Port is very well done (1060 6GB + i54690).… 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.

Fantastic Graphics, One of the Best Narratives that VideoGame industry has ever seen and a gameplay loop that is meaningful and comforting. Play this game, and Don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

It is a slow game and not for those that expect full on action 100% of the time, this does have some action packed moments but also alot of walking. The gameplay is still good and well worth a 10/10.

    The technical part is a spectacular show, incredible graphics, the Décima Engine justifies its potential here. In addition, it has a good optimization, they can buy without fear as long as they meet the requirements.

    I highly recommend it for those who want something different from the usual, who have the patience to understand the proposal and feel the immersion of the universe of the game. It's not for everyone, some won't like it, but it's worth taking a chance. I loved.    … Expand

I know there are a lot of complains that it is hard to navigate but I felt that was it exact point. To overcome challenges so you can connect this disjointed world.

    Runs fine for me on my PC. As for the game I gave it a try ignoring the negative press and it is strangely compelling. I guess a lot depends on if you like the navigating through desolate, rainy and atmospheric lands with the accomplishment you feel once you make it to a safe spot to unwind before heading out again.

    I love how they reverted the trend from standard action/rpg games. they took what usualy is the easiest (walking, world exploration, inventory management) and made it the core of the game. This change of gameplay was very refreshing. I think that who says Death Stranding js a "walking simulator", didn't grasp the revolution of this game.

    The story is immersive (I cried at the ending), you get fond of every character. The curiosity pushed me to do some otherwise unthinkable routes and they were always worth the time. The acting was amazing, some scenes really felt like out of a movie. The soundtrack was amazing and its placement was also very clever: after a very hard way through a BT area, and just before our destination, "Asylum for the feelings" started playing and I was left in awe. I truly am not able to find a con for this game. I haven't played any Kojima game before, but I am definitely a fan now.    … Expand

It’s particularly powerful when you’re carving a new path across a desolate mountain range and leaving signs and ropes yourself, knowing you’re the first.

    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.
