    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 truly love this game, even the moments that, at the time, made me feel frustrated out a tad bored. .

I did buy it and I encourage you to do so even if the gamplay may not be for everyone though. Some say that it's tiring and yes for some it can be. Maybe if you find RDR2 boring, Death Stranding is not for you. I can understand that but you have to try it out to be sure or you might miss a very great game. A big thumb up for the OST as well.

    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 does not deserve to be called a video game. It's a TV show where instead of ads, you're told to play Uber for 15 minutes between episodes.

    I can't think of a reason why the protagonist just wouldn't blow his brains out and remain dead the moment he gets the option. There's just absolutely no reason for him to exist or do anything. The world is dull, boring, lifeless and there's not a single character that makes you feel like: "yeah, I'll try to save the world for the". No. They're all boring, annoying, arrogant **** who can't stop abusing you for their stupid goals.

    All while helping others do the same

    The only jank here are the vehicles, which are quite fun even with some quirks. The game is EXTREMELY polished and beautiful to behold! Couldn't recommend more.    … Expand

    Creo que muchos se equivocan a la hora de criticar este "juego", porque justamente no le interesa ser un juego, ni una película, Death Stranding quiere situarse en el medio para que eso no te importe.

Es una experiencia que si, quiere divertirte, pero también frustrarte, exigirte mas, sacarte de tu zona de confort y recompensarte a cambio.
    Si bien al principio parece que solo es ir de punto A a punto B, no pasara mucho para que empiecen a aparecer dificultades en el camino, y a medida que avanzas te darán un sin fin de herramientas para poder superarlas, es tanto que el post podría tratarse solo de eso, cerca del final puedes saltar 10 metros, tienes todas las armas del Call of Duty, corta cordones, Exoesqueletos, motos, camiones, etc. Si bien no profundiza mucho en cada aspecto, cumple, pero lo mejor de la jugabilidad sin duda es caminar, el simple hecho de moverte con Sam es lo mejor del juego, y ahí donde mas se nota el verdadero enfoque del mismo.
    A pesar de que mucha gente dice que el juego esta muy vacío, y por eso cuenta con gráficas alucinantes, la verdad es que kojima nos ha dado las herramientas para rellenarlo, carreteras, tirolesas, puentes, generadores, buzones, habitaciones, etc.
    Death Stranding tiene una banda sonora Increíble, de la mejores que he escuchado.
    "Once, There Was an Explosion" tiene una un diseño sonoro y composición alucinantes,
    Secuencias como "Alone We Have No Future" o "The Face of Our New Hope" están increíblemente logradas, "A Final Waltz" es de mi canciones de jefes favoritos, y "BB's Theme" es una obra maestra, es tan fuerte en todos los aspectos que sea ha convertido en mi canción favorita de todos los tiempos, no tengo mas que aplausos para Ludvig Forsell.

    Por diversos motivos nunca había experimentado ningún juego de kojima, una vez le di una oportunidad a Metal Gear V, pero era mucha acción, y no entendía nada de lo que ocurría, simplemente lo deje pensando que Kojima no era para mi, pero luego de Death Stranding estaré esperando con ansias sus próximos Titulos, es un director con un estilo único, tanto así que en 20 años jugando nunca había probado algo igual.    … 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

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.

    After reading a lot of trash about this game i thought why not make an opinion on my own so i played it and i really enjoyed it. I went with my expectations low but to be honest this game is really underrated.
    The so called fetch quests aren't really like that, you have to plan carefully your load and even where you step so you don't not ruin the cargo meanwhile you see some of the most beautiful landscapes ever in a videogame so i wouldn't say its boring because the deliveries are not, yes they are time consuming and some of them very hard . I highly 2 things recommend 1st- skip sidequest in the game, you don't gain much doing these but they wear you off, the game can be completed without them, just set focus on the main ones and the game is far much better. 2nd read a lore guide(with no spoilers) of the game before start it takes 5 minutes but makes you understand a lot better from the very beggining.
    The story is really good, a good mix between sci fi and mystic stuff. Oh and it also has some good combat and cool boss fight too and also it keeps giving you new stuff weapons, tools etc., you just have to wait because real action starts later in the game.
    It has a quality few games can presume and a excellent cast and performances and soundtrack.

    Well, I can't say I haven't been warned.

    But let me say upfront that I found a way to - kind of - enjoy "Death Stranding": SKIP. Skip the cutscenes, skip the dialogue, skip the calls, the mails, skip the animated sequences for every single mundane tasks, skip them all. Don't bother with the "science" or the "lore" or "story", you will come up with a better, more consistent and way    Well, I can't say I haven't been warned.

    But let me say upfront that I found a way to - kind of - enjoy "Death Stranding": SKIP.

    Skip the cutscenes, skip the dialogue, skip the calls, the mails, skip the animated sequences for every single mundane tasks, skip them all.

    Don't bother with the "science" or the "lore" or "story", you will come up with a better, more consistent and way more interesting explanation and message on your own.

    Just make up some new words you milked from Greek and Egyptian mythology, throw in some of the deep philosophy your found in your last fortune cookie, decide that you are going to make some nation of your choice great again, and boom: Now *you* are the genius, one-of-a-kind game designer. Even though you are not doing drugs with Norman Reedus, but hey, that's his loss.

    Maybe even skip the rest of this review. Really. It's just another rant about some of the worst writing and game design that I have seen in a long time, badly hidden under a very thin veil of beautiful graphics and well-done audio. That audio includes a score that I could have grown fond of, if it hadn't been forced on me repeatedly in the most "cinematic" way.

    Also understand that this is not a giant open world game, even though everyone says it is. It's not giant, it's not open, and it's not a world.

    It's a collection of hub worlds full of artificial borders and limitations - including rules and unlocks that don't care about logic or how silly they are, especially if you, against my sage advice, follow the story. Those hubs are littered with the same models and assets puzzled into "cities" that are devoid of life and any interesting features. There are no creatures, and only the tiniest amount of enemy types.

    Even though you supposedly travel across all of America, there is no distinctive level design, not the climate, not the textures, not the flora. There is no day- and-night cycle. There is no weather, except for the rain that tells you that enemies are near. Most of the map that you can actually explore looks completely random and has no regard for even the most basic rules of geography.

    And while I'm supposed to believe that everything has been destoyed, melted and thrown into chaos by some major event that I stopped caring about two hours into the game, I think laziness and having to pour all the money into celebrity appearances might be the actual reason.

    And down in that collection of hubworlds you are basically playing a walking simulator that made the simple act of walking as complicated as possible.

    You read the expression "tank-controls" in a lot in reviews, but a tank has a least some precision. It can change direction without keeling over, and doesn't get stuck in pebbles every five metres. It's instruments don't get stressed out and cry only to stop working for several reasons whenever the plot demands it.

    Later on I accepted that this is all there is, at least as far as gameplay is concerned, and that this is pretty much your only challenge as long as you are not literally throwing shyt at ghosts. You will still need a lot of free time and nothing better to do.

    But if you follow my advice and skip, and skip, and skip some more, this is where you can almost have fun.

    Lay bare the core gameplay loop of getting things from A to B while improving the infrastructure and technology to do it faster and with less problems. It isn't half bad if you do it like that, even though controls, camera and UI get in your way too often and break the flow whenever you let them.

    But the fact that I put dozens of hours into this even though I hated a lot about it tells me that, if you skip all the BS, there is a nice, not overly challenging, sometimes weirdly zen experience to be had, where you can set your own little goals and have your own little story. As long as you, I can't stress this out enough, don't listen to the actual one. Really. You will start asking questions, like, who came up with all that technology after the world ended and you couldn't leave the house and you had no resources and no clue what was going on? You don't want that.

    You have a map, you have your mission markers, you take stuff from point A, where it came from nothing, and you put it down at point B, where it disappears into the void again, and some hologram will say the same thing it always says and give you likes, and who does not like likes?

    Unfortunately you can't skip the crashes and glitches. I haven't had too much troubles, but be aware that the game will require some decent hardware. It's horribly ported and optimized and comes with loads of DRM and telemetry running in the background on top of that.

    But if you are not like me and morbidly curious about "that game that everyone talked about last year", don't waste your money. Don't waste your time. At least wait for a sale, like I did    … Expand

    It is good to see a game with so many refreshing mechanics and experiences. Let take a look to the game:

    Graphics: What can I say, they are amazing, the 3D engine provided by Guerrilla is one of the most advanced one, performing excellently moving big maps. The details are impressive and the face expressions are close to real life. The technology behind is one of its strongest points.

    Sound: The environment effects are created nicely and they sound like they must, nothing revolutionary but doing a good job. The voices of characters are nicely recorded and match with the face expressions. The music does ok with good and chill themes around that appear under pressure. Nothing to complain.

    Game play: Well, I liked it a lot, but I can understand that this is not a game for everyone. Do not be fooled, this is a walking simulator and it has all the good and the bad of these types of games. You will expend hours trying to reach a point with no interaction with any living form apart form the protagonist. It is a game that you will enjoy if you like to child out and enjoy the journey with some punctual combat moments. The combat, on the other hand, feels simple and out of options.

    Story: Remember this is a Kojima game, so you shall expect a lot of confusion during the game, with a lot of second meanings and unconcluded elements. After finishing the game, you would probably try to find an explanation of the ending in Internet. For me the story could be better as it is a complex and slow-paced apocalyptic tale told by NPCs through large cinematics. Am I the only one that miss simpler stories as MGS the twin Snakes or MGS 3 Snake eater?

    Online: The online system is something similar to Dark Soul; you cannot summon other players but players support each other building elements that other players can use to make the journey easier.

    Performance: The game run smoothly in pcs that are 4 years old. The engine is really optimized and it look amazing, but this game has a DRM that slows the game close to 20%: Denuvo. This evil DRM affect deeply the performance of the game and I am not really up to install this kind of programs that fill your computer with trash and undeleted element in the pc.

    Good things:
    - Technology behind the game is awesome
    - Refreshing game play
    - First line actors
    - Original online system
    - Music is ok

    Bad things
    - DENUVO for god shake
    - Not a game for everyone
    - Combat system can be better
    - The story can be confusing, again not for everyone

    I would give this game an 8.5 points, but the Denuvo DRM is an evil that must be destroyed in the pc industry. Sadly, I must give this game less points. Unfortunately, I bought the game before I knew this game has Denuvo.    … Expand

    The boredom and repetitiveness of the game's missions and environment is only overshadowed by the despicable UX: from over-stylized menus that are all over the place to the locked/pre-animated actions in certain areas and the incredibly predictable dialogs (in addition to the irritating phone-like notification).

Maybe that's the ultimate lesson from Hideo Kojima here?… Expand

    Has the same chiral network and monsters from metal gear survive... fairly boring walking sim, with a cutscene for every action, which is repeated everytime.

    It simply cannot be called a video game or a game for that matter. It fails at being the very essence of a video game which is to be fun and entertaining. Also, the story behind it is convoluted, poorly executed and portrayed in an abysmal way. It would've been much better as a TV show or a movie.

    I installed this game twice because I wanted to give it a second chance however turns out that with one fall I lost the package and I have to go back and find it in order to complete the stupid mission. Instant trash!

Literally, the only challenge is the endless sea of stones scattered throughout the map.

    However, the story or rather the mythology is well developed. The delivery though, the ending that explains everything literally takes 3 hours consisting of 2.5 hours of cutscenes.
    You literally just finished the game and it just won't stop ending...
    At least all questions are answered, no loose endings ala "ah you gotta have to interpret that yourself".

    The concept of the game isn't so bad - deliver packages, reconnect the people.
    The people just aren't interesting, so there's no point in doing side quests to get to know them better or anything.

    So my advise here really is: just do the main objectives, you'll do more deliveries than you wanted to anyway.
    And once you get a vehicle you'll hate the stones even more... the vehicle physics are so bad, you'd think this is some indie dev game. It's laughable.
    Do yourself a favor and, even though it's really hard, don't go near stones in the water - you'll get your vehicle stuck. Definitely.
    And the battery life on vehicles is... just astoundingly bad.

    The physics when carrying packages though makes absolute sense. How you gotta counter the weight by leaning left/right or stopping from falling is perfect.
    Climbing looks like ass though and is unpredictable.

    If they made driving in the least interesting, sort of like Mud Runner, it could have been a good game.
    This however, is a rich story packaged in a bad game.

    Combat is... absolutely laughable. No challenge here, bossfights are boring as fk.
    The only time it's challenging is when you gotta deliver a package for your last mission and you get a bossfight... and you fall over with the package and it gets broken - which it will... 2 hits/falling and it's a goner.

    I really just can't comprehend how you can put so much work into a game and ruin it with horrible gameplay where the core of it just isn't in any way satisfying. It's such a shame.

    Bottom line - can't recommend it.    … Expand

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

    Truly terrifying experience until you develop anti-BT weapons. Classic Kojima game. It lets me live out all my fantasies of being a badass mailman! A beautifully crafted world, cool characters, and Shinkawa's art! Loved the experience! All that being said, the pacing felt just a little slow during the start. I would likely enjoy a sequel!

    The unusual and mysterious world where was interesting to be. Who can think that delivery quests could be interesting? So, I gave 8 because of the novel daring gameplay. I got pleasure. But if I would play a second game like this, I will give max 6. Because characters are naive and enemies too dumb, therefore I can't truly immerse in that world.

    Dont believe the 0's, Death Stranding is another masterpiece by Hideo Kojima, I enjoy story based cinematic games and this has one of the best. 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.

    I love this game, the loop, for me, is extremely addictive. I understand that this is a divise game and not everybody will like it, totally normal. Great graphics and great story. What was good is even better at 60fps

    Игра просто супер! Сначала было скучно ходить, но потом втянулся и уже как неделю забив на сюжет тупо хожу и строю дороги, кладу лестницы. При этом игра грамотно совмещает геймплей и сюжет, а не так как другие «гениальные игры» 2020 года.Игра просто супер!

    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.
