    Things I liked:
    - Artistically amazing landscapes to look at; colours, hues, realistic, immersive, blah blah.
    - Post apocalyptic delapidated structures look very cool & detailed, amazing job environmental artists. Things I didn't like: - Constant in and out of logistics menu nightmare. - Getting penilised for 1 small wrong move on a rock after playing very sensibly for a long time    Things I liked:

    Things I didn't like:

    - Getting penilised for 1 small wrong move on a rock after playing very sensibly for a long time then, afterward, mucking about basically jumping off cliffs (because I am frustrated at this boring game) carrying tons of stuff and hey it's fine, just glitch up and down these rocks no problem we'll forgive you.
    - Trucks and bikes can fly.
    - The games motivating factor is 'likes' LOL.
    - Preachy, boring characters that I never felt for.
    - Waste of time, go and get a delivery job instead it'll be more interesting than this.    … Expand

    Игра со своеобразным, но интересным и атмосферным сюжетом. Очень подойдёт для тех, кто любит неспешный-плавный геймплей, поразмыслить и любоваться природным ландшафтом.

    BUT you do not play it for the combat! If you focus on the story, characters, world and how about connecting people in a shattered world with your actions, you 'll have a great experience overall!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Death Stranding benim deneyim ettiğim en farklı oyunlardan birisi oldu. Oyun yepyeni ve daha önce görülmemiş bir oynanış deneyimi sunsa da ben oyunu oynarken genel olarak sıkıldım. Oyunda Türkçe dil desteği bulunması çok güzel, Türkçeleştirmeyi de çok başarılı buldum. Oyunun hikayesinden biraz bahsedeyim. Oyun yakın gelecekte kıyamet sonrası bir dünyada geçiyor. Yıllar önce Ölüm Kıyısı adındaki olay yaşanmış ve dünya değişmiş. Oyunda kontrol ettiğimiz karakter kargocu Sam Porter Bridges, kendisini oyuncu Norman Reedus seslendiriyor ve bu konuda kendisinin oldukça başarılı bir iş çıkarttığını söyleyebilirim. Oyunda aldığımız kargoları zorlu yolları aşarak teslim ediyoruz. Bu kargoları teslim etmeye çalışırken kargolara saldırıp onları çalmaya çalışan Yükçü grupları, üzerine düştüğü insanları hızla yaşlandıran Zamankıyım yağmurları ve KV isimli ilginç yaratıklar oyunun büyük çoğunluğunda oyuncuya saldırıyor. Amerikayı yeniden eski haline döndürmeye çalışan ancak bunu başaramadan ölen başkanın kızı Amelie ülkeyi Kiral Ağ'a bağlayabilmek için 3 sene evvel harekete geçmiştir fakat saldırıya uğramış ve esir düşmüştür. Ardından hologramı yoluyla Sam ile iletişime geçen Amelie, onun yardımını ister. Sam ilk başta pek sıcak bakmasa da sonradan Amelie'nin teklifini kabul eder. Sam bir "Öteci" olarak isimlendiriliyor. Öteciler ölümsüz oluyor ve öldükleri zaman okyanus gibi bir yerde yeniden doğuyorlar. Oyundaki düşmanlarımız Higgs ve Cliff. Oyunun hikayesi genel olarak Sam'in tüm zorluklara rağmen verilen önemli kargoları taşıması ve Amelie'nin amacına ulaşmasına yardım etmesi ile geçiyor. Oyunda Norman Reedus'ın yanı sıra Lea Seydoux, Mads Mikkelsen ve Troy Baker gibi ünlü isimlerin de bulunduğunu belirteyim. Bu isimler harika oyunculukları ve seslendirmeleriyle oyundan alınan keyfi kesinlikle arttırıyor. Oyunun hikayesi ve hikaye sunumu başarılı. Fakat oyundaki bazı ara sahneler çok uzun ve sıkıcı, çoğu zaman ara sahneler oyunanışı baltalıyor ve ben oyun oynarken sürekli ara sahneler tarafından durdurulmayı hiç sevmiyorum, elbette oyuna ara sahne koyulmasın demiyorum bu kadar güçlü bir oyuncu kadrosu ile tabii ki ara sahnelere ağırlık verilmesi normal fakat keşke oynanış ile ara sahneler biraz daha dengeli olsaydı. Bana göre oyunun en büyük problemi oynanış, evet bu oyun yepyeni bir oynanış ve çeşitli içerikler sunuyor fakat bunu yaparken oyuncuyu eğlendiremiyor. Kıyamet sonrası bir dünyada bir yerden bir yere kargo taşıma konsepti benim hiç hoşuma gitmedi. Oyunda farklı araçlar kullanarak, yapılar inşa ederek, çeşitli ekipmanlar kullanarak kargoyu belirtilen yere ulaştırabiliyoruz fakat konsept bana göre çok sıkıcı olduğu için ben pek keyif alamadım. Ayrıca oyundaki savaş sistemi çok yetersiz ve sürekli birbirini tekrar eden savaşlar var oyunda, bunlar da zaten sıkıcı bulduğum oynanışı daha da sıkıcılaştırdı. Ayrıca oyun biraz fazla uzun, ana hikaye biraz daha kısa tutulsaydı daha iyi olurdu diye düşünüyorum. Grafiksel olarak oyun fena sayılmaz, 1080p yüksek ayarlarda oyunun gayet güzel göründüğünü söyleyebilirim. Fakat optimizasyon konusunda maalesef oyun vasat. Oyunu akıcı bir şekilde oynarken bazen aniden saliselik takılmalar meydana geliyor ve bu takılmalar sürekli tekrarlanıyor, kısa bir zaman sonra oyun tekrar akıcı hale geliyordu. Sistemimin oyun için yeterli olmasına rağmen bu sorunu yaşamak beni üzdü, bahsettiğim sorun sürekli olmuyordu fakat yine de bu sorunun çözülememiş olması üzücü. Death Stranding güçlü oyuncu kadrosuyla güzel bir hikaye ve hikaye sunumu isteyenler ile yepyeni farklı bir oynanış arayanlar için iyi bir oyun olsa da oyunun konsepti herkese göre değil ve şahsen ben oyunu oynarken oldukça sıkıldım.… Expand

    Great game and it meant a lot to me. I played it in a hard moment at my life and Death Stranding had a nice touch to things that I was thinking at the moment. At the same time, I really think Kojima has overexposed a lot in this game, to the point that it looks like he underrated the playerbase inteligence. I hope the upcoming sequence don't do it again - even 'cause we already know the setting.

    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.

    The game is extremely casual and the story complete drivel that doesn't drive you to keep playing, quite the contrary, every time you reach a cutscene you ask yourself why are you playing this game, if you have more than two brain cells that is. The Kojima that made the first Metal Gear wouldn't even recognize himself anymore.

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

    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.

    Gameplay

    Definitely will be the biggest point of contention and the biggest turn-off. The gameplay is mainly focused on walking around delivering packages between different locations. The walking is surprisingly engaging though as you need to keep your balance and pay attention to the environment around you when walking to make sure you don’t fall and that you can have packages in the best condition. There are also vehicles that can speed up walking, the vehicles are a bit difficult to control especially when maneuvering around rocks which there are a lot of. The “strand” elements of the game are definitely the most interesting, you are able to build structures to help you maneuver the environment such as zip lines, bridges or ladders. Those structures can be built by other people and will appear in your world, essentially there is a connection between you and other players through these structures that can help you along in the game, you can subsequently build other structures to help people as well, you receive likes for doing everything in the game and a whole category of likes is getting them from other online players for using your structures or liking them. The connected nature of the gameplay in this element fits in well with the themes of the story which will be discussed later. This is the first game I’ve played that has elements like this built into the game, Dark Souls has this slightly with signs but not on the level that exists here. There are also some minor third-person shooter elements though they are a small part of the game and are definitely the most generic, the shooting isn’t really that satisfying and was my least enjoyable part of the gameplay.

    Story

    The story is the best aspect of the game and I will keep it brief as to not spoil it. The story essentially is about going from location to location connecting places to a sort of internet network in order to rebuild America, a huge theme of the story is connection. The story unfolds through a lot of cut scenes and dialogue and overall is fantastically well written and told. There are high emotional moments throughout and fantastic characters that you spend a lot of time with and learn about in full. The story goes very in-depth in explaining this incredible world that has been crafted to give an understanding that is unmatched in many other games. While some of the dialogue isn’t very good it is a minimal amount and overall the story is incredible. The top talented actors and voice actors make the lengthy cutscenes an enjoyable experience that grips you into the story. The theme of connection is tied right into the gameplay with the strand elements that work better than many other games that try to tie elements to the story. This tied with the mystery will keep you wanting to continue the story.

    Graphics

    The graphics of the game are stunning as it creates landscapes from Iceland in a beautiful fashion. The character models also all look really great. The models of the BT’s which are the main enemy of the game are unique and creates a great atmosphere.

    Soundtrack

    The soundtrack features many really good songs that work very well with the game, the songs will make you yearn for more and can often evoke the adventure-like nature of the game. There is one song towards the conclusion of the game that is so beautiful and emotional that I still listen to it even after finishing the game.

    Conclusion

    Death Stranding is a very weird game, it has a fantastic story and soundtrack with good gameplay that I enjoyed. The gameplay will not work for everyone and as such the game is not for everyone. If you can find something in the gameplay and love great single-player stories then this will be one of the best you can choose from. I loved it and am excited for more from Kojima.    … Expand

    -The story :
    The narrative is amazing and it is carried with solid acting and well-crafted cutscenes that keeps the plot constantly evolving; the whole story is like a puzzle on which every cutscene gives one small piece but at the end of the game all pieces come together and everything makes sense and it kind of rewards the players who have really paid attention to the details from the beginning which is the only element I'd say gives you motivation to continue playing to see what happens next.

    -The gameplay :
    Now you'd wonder, if the story is that good, the gameplay can't possibly be that bad right ? Well No, but actually Yes. The gameplay is one of the most boring, unsatisfying, frustrating, tilting I have ever seen all throughout my 15 years of gaming; it is nowhere near bearable let alone it being enjoyable or fun. It's as if the developers tried their hardest to think about the task that most people hate to accomplish and turned it into a video game. Walking from point A to point B couldn't even be that bad if the controls weren't this terrible, especially the vehicles; however the game tried to come up with an interesting solution in order to travel faster which is creating structures like roads, bridges, ladders etc. but those are so time-consuming to make and they cut such a miserable part of the roaming that nobody even bothers with them because it is not FUN to spend hours gathering ressources and transporting them to a specific location just for you to save around 200meters of not having to ride through natural ground. The last thing I can complain about is how detached the gameplay is from the story, there is literally no link between both; besides, the portion of the gameplay is much much higher than the interesting story parts where it should have been the opposite, you have 2 hours of walking and delivering packages and then 5mins of cutscenes but at that point you completely forgot what happened last time especially if you can't afford yourself to play it at once.

    Long story short, death stranding is in my opinion a 30h game that should have been 15h AT MOST. As a movie I'd give it a 10 but as a game I can't give it more than 5.    … Expand

    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.

COmbat vs BTs is plain boring for me, knowing that i had to walk around a region full of BTs and knowing that it will take like 10mins because of them whilst i could pass normally in 10 seconds just irritated me, i didn't find it fun or challenging.

    As frustrating as it is brilliant, Death Stranding combines some of the most interesting element of open world sandbox games into an experience that is like nothing that has come before it! While the story is a rocky with it over use of mystique and troupes, Death Stranding really shines in its moment to moment gameplay.

    Story - Oh boy here we go. As anyone who has played a Kojimbo game    As frustrating as it is brilliant, Death Stranding combines some of the most interesting element of open world sandbox games into an experience that is like nothing that has come before it! While the story is a rocky with it over use of mystique and troupes, Death Stranding really shines in its moment to moment gameplay.

    Story - Oh boy here we go. As anyone who has played a Kojimbo game before will already know the story can be a bit all over the place. Laced with wild ideas and concepts, Death Stranding asks the player at first glance to suspend their disbelief and keep an open mind around many of the games core ideas no matter how wild they can get. You are Sam Porter Bridges, a delivery man in the post apocalyptic wastes of United States after an event know as the Death Stranding. Basically the world of the living and the dead have collided leaving the souls of dead people stranded in the living world as creatures known as BT (Beach Things). A bunch of strange paranormal things are going on, rain causes things to age at an increased pace and many of the humdrum things we take for granted now simply don't exist anymore. As a delivery man it is you job to cross America delivering packages and connecting the separated settlements back together. This is about all I'm willing to go into now as any deep would warrant a 30000+ word count essay. Just know that at its core, although confusing and troupe heavy this game has a wonderfully told high concept story about connecting to people. Which at time can be heart warming and other brain wracking.

    Gameplay - The term walking sim gets thrown around a lot in conversations about this game, and while not untrue there is so much more to this then meets the eye. This game is more about the journey then it is the destination and its those moment in-between the tense actions sequences and cutscenes that really punctuate the game as a whole. Camping out quietly with your bb as the rain passes, constructing elaborate structure for no other purpose then that they might help a fellow porter, finally scaling that cliffside you've been dying to look over. Its all about the preparation and execution of these journeys. That's what makes the gameplay loop of Death Stranding so oddly gratifying. Its also the quiet contemplations of the mystery and beauty of this world. These are moment where death stranding truly shines, and pushes you onward to continue Sam's journey.

    While Death Stranding is a bit of an odd bird, not quite living up to grandiosity of games likes MSGV it does a fine job carving out its own niche to be something truly unique in the industry! I hope Kojima continues to experiment with games as a medium and open up new avenues for developers to try out inspire the undeserved hate this game got.

    Hideo Kojima has a natural talent for storytelling, just that. Death Stranding takes place in a post-apocalyptic "high tech" world, with elements...

Far from it: the universe created by the director is extremely intriguing, believable and very well structured. The story is worthy of an extremely high-quality series or film (I'd love to see one with the actors that make up this beautiful work as well). The beginning of the game is simply breathtaking and leaves you motivated to understand more about that universe. The characters are extremely charismatic, the content of documents found during gameplay, incoming emails and everything else that make up the game's lore are well-formulated, and Kojima's "likes" system and online features work surprisingly well. And what about the soundtrack? Simply stupendous!!! The way in which the songs are inserted in key moments of the game, when entering new biomes/landscapes, is exquisite, and emotional. By the way, the story as a whole is very emotional. All the facts mentioned above only intensify with the moment the world is/has been going through, with the pandemic of the new COVID-19 coronavirus, for example. The way game elements merged with reality is/was an amazing coincidence. The distance from humanity, the broken bonds, many deaths, the role of deliverymen... all of this converges in an unbelievable harmony and makes you reflective. I'm sure players who lost someone, or even struggled in the middle of the pandemic, must have been thrilled, a lot, throughout the long Sam Bridges odyssey. Speaking of journey, the game is long and has a lot of content to explore. Zeroing the main story and some side quests, I reached the 55 hour mark. And for those who love achievements or challenges, you can go well beyond that. I'm sure the biggest factor pushing some players away from the game is the cadence with which the story unfolds. It starts off very well, however, for the most part the story evolves rather slowly at the beginning and only regains dynamism towards the middle/end of the game. However, I consider this "wait" necessary, which makes it worthwhile in the end. Sam's efforts demonstrate how difficult the time humanity was going through in that universe is and how much effort it takes to unite everyone. The difficulty, the wait, the difficult deliveries, it's not just "stuffing up sausage": it's a narrative resource, a gameplay tool. Finally, the plot twist's are very good and the ending is surprising. The price charged for the game is more than fair, it is a masterpiece, made with care and with a memorable story and characters. The promotional price for this game is a bargain. Honorable mentions for the exquisite optimization performed, which makes the game run very well even on a humble RX570 4gb, and the compatibility on 21:9 monitors that only enhances the experience.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. there is a wealth of interesting and innovative content to be had here, but it is wasted on an almost unplayable system of walking, as well as a huge number of forced point and click segments that should simply be replaced with some narration or dare i say another cutscene. i get what they were going for, the controls are generally the opposite of ergonomic, and norman flails about like a deranged octopus when faced with the smallest obstacle. it's also just rude of kojima to force us to listen to his pretentious songs, they are not good and it's literally impossible to turn them off, plus the name of the song and band stay in the middle of the screen for the duration of the songs. i've heard 2 songs so far and they were awful. when it seriously began playing the first song in full AGAIN, i had to mute the entire game for the duration of the mission. i think the reason kojima chose these weird songs in english is probably because it's not as distracting to a native japanese speaker when the english lyrics are bad.

    it just seems that no matter how good the mid to late game content might be, kojima is firmly opposed to making the game fun or enjoyable aside from the cutscenes. i get that it's supposed to be dark, but that doesn't mean you need to deliberately make it impossible to walk. norman should be in a wheelchair with this level of motion impairment, not climbing freaking mountains while carrying his mom's corpse. besides that, why am i forced to walk to the incinerator? there are literally 5 different cars i walk past, and they could have at least made a road to the facility if it's so important, or perhaps just put an incinerator inside the freaking settlement. this is just one more of what seems like an endless slough of restrictive and pretentious design choices, so it feels that the controls have taken a step back in realism when it was supposed to be an improvement.

    frankly, this game could be made a 10/10 with a simple patch to remove like 75% of kojima's input. he has been so arrogant in this game's development that it almost feels like the game is intended to cause frustration and disappointment to the player. allow us to turn the music off, remove the song names on screen, turn down the wet noodle physics by more than half, let us go faster, and maybe dont put a bunch of cars on our path that we have to walk past but can't use despite them clearly being usable later. i get that it's supposed to be hard to carry a body up a mountain when you are on 50 of those quaaludes from wolf of wall street, but can hideo instead ask himself: "why are we carrying a body up a mountain on quaaludes, and what life choices have led to this being considered ready for release"

    above all else, what bothers me about this is that i want to know whats going on. the plot is great, tons of cool stuff, but the game wants to make me go through such a ridiculous gauntlet to proceed that i'd almost rather just be provided a "Story mode" where i don't need to worry about balance, death, or resources at all. however, this can be accomplished by simply watching all the cinematics on youtube. at the end of the day, i will give this a 6 because i got it for free and there is genuinely good content here, particularly in the art department. had i paid for it, i would be demanding a refund though. perhaps someone has modded it by now though.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is, by far, the most hit or miss thing you could ever possibly develop. Firstly, the good: I found the story to be really engaging, the characters being somewhat interesting(and with actual personality) also helps out. for example, Heartman searches endlessly across potential MILLIONS of beaches for his wife child. Deadman was grown from a lab, and as such, has a unique fascination with the dead, because HE'S dead. The gameplay too, while very same-y, is fun, at least for the first few missions. However, as with every game, there is plenty of Bad: For example, the combat of Death Stranding Suuuucks. The enemies that you fight Aren't different throughout the entire game, the only difference being the terrorists and MULES. on top of that, this game is VERY easy. when you're actually doing combat, you can just run circles around your enemies, and they can't hit you. The bosses are also incredibly easy, even some of the later fights. And the cherry on top, is this game is very unstable. When I first got it, I couldn't even launch the game, because it wouldn't stop throwing errors, and sometimes, the game wouldn't even launch at all. When I finally DID get the game to work, the crashes are plentiful. one time, right at the end of the game, It crashed as I was watching Sam come back to life, and had to watch the hour long ending sequence AGAIN. speaking of things being far too long, I'd estimate about 40 to 50% of this game to just be cutscenes. all-in-all, this game could've done with a little more time in the studio. 7/10.… Expand

    Exceptional game but the ending was too long. It took like an hour of cinematics since first end credits appeared. There is no game like Death Stranding. Breathtaking experience, especially I loved first Cliff Chapter.

    This one is not for everyone. It has it's own specific vibe, but overall it's nice game. Nice gameplay, nice plot, cool characters and good atmosphere. I would recommend everyone at least try this game.

    Main problem with this game is that it was developed more like a movie than a game. Nobody has observed the development from a gamer's point of view. That's why the gameplay is so boring. They wanted to try something different but I hope the sequel will be different because this way it will never be a game that will appeal to everyone.

For me, it has not been boring, but it can be if you don't like the main missions mechanics or the way you are supposed to play the game (deliver something form point A from point B, or retrieve some cargo from a enemy base). Overall, it is a game that worth playing, with a amazing story and even better attention to details.… Expand

    It's a sublime game, after each session I always want to go back, the story is overwhelming and I've never been bored. Throughout the game I immersed myself in the character of Sam.
    The only weak point is driving the vehicle which can sometimes be bad
    Thank you Kojima for this wonderful experience

    The story is typically Kojima-esque, bizarre and interesting in its own way, a category unto itself. So far so good, although it caused quite a few raised eyebrows while I'm playing it through.
    There's one disappointing detail though. If I want to reload my last save, I have to quit the game into the main menu and hit continue, no easy way to do this directly from the Esc menu in game.

    Also, when I get caught by the monsters and end up in the cutscene that leads to respawning, there's also no way to just interrupt the thing and reload the last checkpoint before that. Just to get rid of that cutscene and do another try from the last saved position, I have to kill the whole game via Alt+F4 (thankfully at least that works and I don't have to do this in the Task Manager), and start it up again. Not at all user-friendly, this kind of crap effectively degrades even the best games to torture IMHO, even to the point of regretting my purchase. I was glad Epic did have it on its free games offer for a time, I don't have to think about asking for a refund.

    Overall, beautiful visuals, interesting story, great soundtrack: 8/10. Usability crap: degraded to 6/10.    … Expand

I tak oto piękny świat Hideo Kojimy wciągnął mnie na maksa. Śmiem twierdzić, że DS jest pozycją dla weteranów, a nie niedzielnych graczy. Takich, którzy mają obcykana co się w RPGach dzieje i chcą zostać zaskoczeni. Cieszy mnie fakt, że na horyzoncie ukazuje się po mału sequel, smuci, że zapewne znów będzie długi czas jedynie na platformie Sony. Wiem jednak, że warto czekać, bo Kojima wie co robi.… Expand

    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.
