    I have around 150 hours on the PS4 version and platinumed it, so you could say that I enjoy the game very much.

    The story gripped me from start to finish. It's hard to comprehend how any individual could come up with this game's setting and scenarios it puts you through, how the world and it's story unravels around you. While there are some moments that I felt the writing could've been improved that's about the extent of my complaints with the game.

    The PC port is phenomenal.

    I've registered for the first time just to review this game.
    Death stranding is an absolute masterpiece that changed my point of view on some aspects of my life.
    The visuals are so good that I've fear that any other title will look bad from now on.
    The story and narrative is out of the box, never seen anything like that.
    10/10 because this game deserve no less.

    The walking simulator 2020, the game is way too boring, got a refund instantly. Disappointed that Kojima could not fulfill this time.

    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

    How much crap can one Kojima game be? All of it! The movement gameplay is horrible, characters are boring, the story is some weird mix of disney-emo-scifi and some classical manga elements. And that mix doesnt work for a single second. A basic game mechanic is giving and receiving likes, like on facebook. And there its already annoying, now imagine how annoying this is in a game.

Also, the main character doesnt clearly give a fook about the story, yet hes the only one driving it. 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? Oh, because its bullsh**, right. And that is what this game is.… Expand

    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 game has easily pushed its way into my top 5 games of all time and that's with over 25 years of gaming history.

    While its graphics were outstanding and the details were well implemented, the story is lakin more moments of impact. The game have big segments in where the player is basically wandering around aimlessly, which turn it dry and sometimes boring.

    Naprawdę słaba gierka . Nudna i bardzo wolno rozkręcająca się. Fabuła absurdalnie słaba bez logiki jaką stara się gra tworzyć.

    One of the best games I've ever played, right up there with Nier Automata; the game is certainly not everyone's cup of tea, I even nearly dropped the game out of frustration at the start, but it's objectively an incredible game and I'm glad I stuck around.

    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.

    im glad I didn't spend any money on this crapshot.    … Expand

    Кодзима – гений (абсолютно поехавший 56-и летний ребёнок). Я и представить себе не мог, что можно сделать такой унылый высер! Сюжет игры представляет из себя то, что Hideo Kojima видит в унитазе, когда сходит в уборную по большому. Геймплея в этом куске вонючего бреда нет ни капли, а только мучения и издевательства над игроком. Игру надо было назвать 15 глав ада по Кодзиме.

    Honestly on my top 3 games of all time. I've played it on PS4 last year and it was the best optimized game experience I had on this console. Now that I play it on PC, I can't believe how great this game look, it is stunning. Gameplay-wise, it's a simple mechanic, but efficient a 100%, i've played more than 80 hours, and I want more.

    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.
