    If you like walking around an empty boring and bland world this one is for you.
    it has to be the worst game every. I dont have a clue what they were thinking about - waste of money even if given away free.

    The story itself is interesting, featuring unexpected twists. However, the gameplay process is extremely boring. The open world is lacking in depth. After playing for 20 hours, I decided to delete it.

    Another trash from Kojima. Most of products from this guy are mid quality with bad gameplay design. The only thing he's doing great is cutscenes because 85% of his games are cutscenes and QTE.

    I went into it knowing only the name and the hype/reputation it generated. I regret playing it. It’s boring, weird, garbage. It’s unlike any game I’ve ever played before. Typically, being different would be a positive thing as it could mean new and exciting concepts that are challenging, stimulating, or just very interesting.

    A lot of people are saying it’s a walking simulator. It’s not. I enjoy walking simulators. I do not enjoy this. Playing this is a chore, and not in a good way. I’d also enjoy a good chore simulator. This is not that. It’s more like a nightmare, but not the kind you’d like to play a simulator of. It’s wholly unpleasant.

    The story is akin to getting your five year old to describe what they think a scary movie should be like, then running that through ChatGPT, then running that back through your five year old and getting getting them to write it as a summary, and then sending that summary to someone on fiverr who’s only charging $3 to write a script for a feature length movie.

    The graphics are pretty great.    … Expand

    After being completely underwhelmed by the same game mechanics over and over form other games in my library, I felt that I needed something completely different, which led me to retry playing the aforementioned game. I'm glad I did, because after what may be considered a long drawl up until chapter 4, the game becomes a true masterpiece.
    It's so much more than what I imagined it to be, and so engrossing that I needed to share it with you guys.
    Kojima is truly a master of his craft, and is in top form in this particular game.
    Guys, don't let the first chapters dissuade you, because you will be missing out on something truly amazing.
    And on a side note, the Social engine for this game is the best I've seen in a long time because it never takes you out of the atmospheric eerie feeling of the game while bringing the best out of people. Love it!! To bad the sequel is only for the Ps5.    … Expand

    A game that has shooting and is not optimized for shooting; It has stealth but you carry a baby that cries at the most inappropriate times; It has vehicles but is not optimized for driving or piloting. And a boring and unnecessary drama! Repetitive and predictable! Only Kojima could go out with these things!

    Is it bad if a game isn't all action? No. There are plenty of games that are just relaxing and are perfect for winding down after a hard day of work. This is not one of them. You constantly get interrupted by the oil people coming out of the ground where all you do is mash X and most times its a flip of the coin if they they get you or not and while that happens you listen to a baby bawling in the background. Its the opposite of relaxing, its stressful yet it poses no challenge.

    Hell sometimes it is more efficient to get dragged away by the oil people. since its a random direction it could be in the direction you are heading towards.

    And then there is the world. Its made by an algorithm randomly placing assets. You constantly get stuck on geometry and clip on the terrain. The physics are equally screwed, your character can run down a near vertical slope sometimes and trip on a flat road with no obstacles other times.

    Eventually you unlock vehicles which also get constantly stuck on terrain but since they are so efficient. Its better to spend 20 Minutes jamming it up a mountain and then spend 20 minutes getting to your destination. Than it is spending 5 minutes climbing up the mountain and 1 hour getting to your destination.

    And after all that you are rewarded with an hologram saying "Thank You", that's it.

    And then there is the "action part". The bosses have no way of hurting you and all you do is unload bullets into a sponge. And their designs are dare I say less inspiring than Ubisoft like copy and past, its the same whale like monster Every Single Time.

    The acting in the actual cut-scenes are really good. But is squandered away with writing that constantly switches between powerful emotional mode and im14andthisisdeep mode. Not to mention the gameplay contributes almost nothing to the cut-scenes.

    Go watch the cuteness on Youtube, its better than playing the game.    … Expand

It's a very story driven game, if you don't care about the world and the events going on in that world you will in no way care about this game. If you like to sink yourself Into a game and immerse yourself in its world this game does great job of that. The story is weird and little out there but so amazing. The graphics are great, the cut scenes look amazing and the world you roam around in is equally as beautiful. The online component of helping each other and being able to leave tools in other plays games and such is much cooler than it initially sounds. Down sides the fighting mechanics seem like a bit of an after thought. The constant reminder about the metaphor of strands and rope gets tiresome pretty quick. If you love story driven games this is a great choice.… Expand

    Mamaged to pick up this game as part of my subscription to PS Plus. It sure is intresting, and not exactly in a good way.

It sure is intresting, and not exactly in a good way.

    You're a UPS man in a post-apocalyptic world with very little explanation. All you know is your name, and you are soon overloaded with wacky plot points within the first 10 minutes. You'll quickly find yourself asking more questions faster than you get any of them answered. This can be forgiven however. But, you're sucker punched with the most boring, the most tedious gameplay ever imaginable. You walk around delivering packages. You do this by walking huge distances over varying different terrains, while trying to constantly stop yourself from toppling over, while watching the degradation of your cargo, while trying to avoid any enemies you encounter, such as BTs, which initially started as a pretty suspenseful encounter, but quickly become repetitive and simply act only as a way of inhibiting progress. You'll later get a rather lackluster combat system and some pretty cool gear that makes traversal easier, which ironically is the most fun part of this game. If you find yourself getting past the initial boringness and tediousness of the gameplay, you'll progress far enough that you can skip most of the journey. That's great, but when the enjoyment of your game comes from how much time you're willing to waste to make it easier, you probably don't have a very good system. But, that's not all. There's this doozer of a story. The story itself is confusing, and it once again tests your patience. You must ask yourself how much time you're willing to spend to get interested in it, while the story itself it is plagued with amateur writing and dialog at best. The first few hours are cutscene after cutscene. Even sitting in your room is cutscenes of Sam performing the tasks you ask him to. If that wasn't enough, the game treats Sam like he's an amateur in this post-apocalyptic world when he is not. Constantly, Sam is explained the plot points of the story and the mechanics of the game as if he is new to it all. They are there for the player of course, but trying to explain these things through the characters in your game isn't very convincing or good when Sam already knows all these things. It just makes for annoyingly constant exposition that doesn't feel natural. Speaking of the characters, let's get into how awful they are. For one, almost every character you interact with is just a projection. That wouldn't be an issue, but the focal point of the game is about reconnectin the new world. You can never feel truly connected to these people you never meet. If that wasn't enough, you never see the effects your actions have on these people helping. You play errand boy to help these people, and the most you get from it? "Wow! Thank you! This helps a lot! Goodbye now." And if THAT wasn't enough, that's not even considering that Sam doesn't give a jack squat about the goals you're controlling him to achieve. Sam has to be the most uninspiring and unlikable protagonist you'll ever play. He is a massive ass majority of the game. He does not care for the people he's helping. There are parts of the game where he is completely silent or distant from people spilling their hearts out and telling him how much it means to them that he's reconnecting the world. He doesn't care. If the protagonist you control doesn't care about anything he's doing, you can never truly feel connected to that protagonist. Alright, there are some redeeming qualities to this game. It is a nice chill pill. I can see the appeal of sitting back, taking a casual approach to this game, mapping out your route, and just taking in the beautiful scenery this game offers. It has amazing landscapes and stunning artistic visuals, as well as an enjoyable soundtrack. But if you're looking for much else, I advise against it.    … Expand

O sea, es como un montón de ideas que por separadas pueden ser buenas, pero puestas en un mismo plato es muy confuso.
    Eso si, lo que se supone que es tu enemigo es muy interesante, y no digo que el tener que evitar y escoger el mejor camino sea tenso y entretenido, pero claro, el problema es que no sientes que avances, terminas una entrega, empiezas otra y llega un momento en que te preguntas ¿Para que hago esto? Parece que en vez de ser el protagonista o el héroe solo eres un repartidor más.
    Que por cierto, hablando del personaje, que poco carisma por favor, desaprovechado el actor, o sea no sé, me esperaba a alguien más carismático, y lo que me encuentro es un personaje en una depresión. A veces da pereza hasta escucharle. O sea no es un personaje que se te vaya a quedar grabado , podrías poner cualquier otra cara y sería lo mismo.

It' also exists purely as an ego stroke for Kojima, who inserts his name in the credits at the beginning and end of every scene. Dude we get it, this is your game. I'd rather see the name of the character artists at the beginning and end of each scene because they're the real MVP's. They did such an awesome job at recreating what these actors actually look like that it's stunning, which is why I score it 4 out of 10. This game is also incredibly derivative of the Tom Cruise film Oblivion. From basic aesthetic, to some of the plot and character design. Kojima shouldn't be so proud of stealing. The rest is Kojima fluff wrap in a Prime delivery sim.… Expand

After about a month of release, I bought the game and played it for about 10 hours and then stopped because I wasn't enjoying it. I hid the game and let the dust crawl on it for years. After a couple of years, I decided to give it another go and this time to the end. Ladies and gentlemen. I've never been more bored with a game than I am here. I've enjoyed some bad games. Mafia III was repetitive crap, but the gameplay was fine. Wolfenstein: Youngblood, which I thought was the worst AAA game to date, at least the gameplay was entertaining. These bad games may have had bad story, repetitive gameplay, but it was action packed and I was quite entertained. Unfortunately, I can't say that about Death Stranding. The gameplay in this game is an unmitigated disaster in my opinion. Repetitive and so boring to boot. The constant walking and delivering packages felt like a side quest. I found it so annoying. Walking long distances and over and over again. Later on in the game you get attacked every now and then, so you have to protect your cargo. You would think that this would make the game more action packed and better, but unfortunately for me the opposite was true. It was all the more annoying because someone was constantly destroying my cargo, delaying me from completing my shipment. Just awful. Playing this game was something terrible for me. It's not helped by the fact that the game tries to be realistic and thus the bigger the load, the more challenging it is to carry, so tripping and then falling was a classic for me after a while. In short, I've never experienced worse gameplay in a AAA title. On the one hand, I admit that this is an original approach. I've never seen anything like it before. On the other hand, I wouldn't want to experience something like this again and I didn't like it. So trying something new here didn't work for me. I'll stick with originality for a while. I grumble a lot about the gameplay here, because I think that's the biggest stumbling block in this game. Other things are better, though. The idea of linking the chiral network with the fact that other players can help you and build you things in the world is a cool idea in my opinion. I've used their builds a few times to make the game easier, or maybe I could deliver a package to someone who didn't finish it. This is where the originality worked out in my opinion and I liked this feature thing. Another thing is the graphics. In a word, wow. Very nice. The characters in particular looked really very good, which enhanced the overall cinematicness of the game. There's another thing that ties into that. Cut-scenes. They look absolutely brilliant. The camera work, the aforementioned graphics. They look very cinematic and very good. I'm going to pick up the story. In a word, WTF. I almost have no idea what I was playing. For me it was pretty **** but on the one hand it was pretty original. Mainly, I think it's that cinematicness and storyline that pulls the whole game together. The cutscenes look gorgeous, the story I sadly didn't get and the graphics look fabulous. ONLY, ALL OF THIS IS OVERSHADOWED BY THE REPETITIVE GAMEPLAY, WHICH IS SO INCREDIBLY ANNOYING, BORING AND ACTUALLY SO POINTLESS BECAUSE YOU MOSTLY JUST WALK AROUND IN IT. Every now and then you'll get a bossfight, which were good, but by the end I was getting quite annoyed and found them repetitive, or every now and then you'll go with a vehicle, like a motorbike, which I didn't find very easy to control anyway. I could swear a lot more here, but I think I've said enough. In my opinion, Death Stranding should have been a movie or rather a series that we would just watch. For example, towards the end of the game it was so incredibly drawn out and pretty much all you watch here are cut-scenes, which of course look great as I mentioned. But then the cutscene ends and it's your turn as the player, and I think that's terrible. Even the music that played here and there didn't save the feeling of the constant repetition of delivering packages and besides, the music could have played a lot more in my opinion. If this had been a series, I think it would have turned out much better. This game definitely deserves a few points for the aforementioned bravura cut-scenes, very nice graphics and originality, which unfortunately as far as gameplay is concerned, I think has been very detrimental. It depends on one side what you want. If you're not exactly a game enthusiast, but rather looking for a proper story, you might like Death Stranding, if you can understand it. But if you prefer gameplay, as I do, I recommend you avoid Death Stranding. Games can provide excellent stories, but they can also be fun gameplay-wise. I'm talking about Naughty Dog or CDPR, for example.… Expand

    While Death Stranding is gorgeous and chalk full of lengthy cutscenes that are reminiscent of past metal gear titles, it's sorely lacking in gameplay and, in truth, this game doesn't even seem to care about providing the player with an enjoyable experience until you're many hours in. This game is such an embarrassment to Kojima's legacy and a warning to game makers everywhere.

    An amalgamation of all of the negative aspects of Kojima games. I hate this game. It runs well and has good visuals so that's good.

    This game is very boring. The graphics are excellent, but they don't make up for the boring gameplay. You'd be better off looking at a nice painting if you want something nice to look at, because this doesn't have anything worth being considered a "game".

    The biggest fall from grace I have ever seen. After the masterpiece Metal Gear games, this is what Kojima produces? I can see why Konami wanted to cut him loose now. He just doesn't have it anymore.

    Temo que este juego es muy pretencioso, es poco entretenido, muy repetitivo y sin dificultad... Me gusta mucho Metal Gear, pero Kojima esta equivocado si cree que, por su solo nombre en todo lado, un juego seria una maravilla de juego...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Un juego que regalado es caro.

    El tiempo que tienes q invertir en el, para mi, simplemente no vale la pena, con el trabajo y las obligaciones que muchos tenemos, no se puede desperdiciar 40 o 50 horas un juego que de las más de 12 horas que llevo jugadas son de lo peor que he visto en mucho tiempo.

    Las mecánicas son horribles y están completamente rotas, el desafío es nulo, el juego es aburridísimo, el menú son lo peor, la historia es de lo que menos puedo hablar, aunque la amenaza es estar a la altura del resto ... muy mal.

    Lo que no se es bajo que autoridad Hideo Kojima se piensa q le puede tomar el pelo así a la gente, no solo el dinero y los 60 pavos q vale, que que ese es otro tema ...

    Sino las horas de tiempo que tienes q invertir en este juego, esta claro que por lo que él logró después, en el último tramo parece que mejora (aunque no pondría la mano en el fuego por ello).

    Si no os queda ningún otro juego importante de esta generación, os sobra tiempo, dinero, y ten mucha gente jugadlo, de lo contrario salid huyendo, podéis hacer cosas mucho mejores con vuestro tiempo que jugar al Death Stranding.

    Yo aquí lo dejo, cero interés en terminarlo y seguir perdiendo el tiempo.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am reviewing this from the harder difficulty level so things may be different on normal. While I really liked the underlying story, the rest of the game is just boring. As others have mentioned you spend more time trying to balance your items on a mostly uneven world over anything else. The sheer level of frustration in this game is enough where I actually regret spending time and money on this. How annoying is it when you have a vehicle with all of your resources only to have it get stuck in a ditch you can't get out of?

    Building the road is a waste of time and even after you build it there are destinations that it is so far out of the way that you spend so much time going around other areas. They couldn't build a roadway across the later part of the mountain??? Also the cargo truck is so ridiculously slow...like who cares about realism...I want to get from point A to B and not have to spend 5 minutes driving to it.

    And that gets me to the mountain. We have these vehicles to get around the area but they couldn't create a snowmobile to get around the mountain? Instead I have to walk like I am in molasses and while in some sections can't recover my stamina because I am mid way through a mission. I ended up falling so many times and losing my cargo.

    I would say avoid this game unless you feel like you want to just be a UPS/FedEx delivery driver in a simulation, get frustrated, and an added storyline.    … Expand

    This is the single most boring waste of 50 plus hours I've ever spent. Literally the only thing I enjoyed about it was Norman Redus. I kept waiting for something to happen, but no. You go from point A to point B, about a hundred or so times with 3 to 4 "boss fights". I'll never understand how or why so many people like this.

    - The character movement is awfully clunky, especially when riding the reverse trike. This is a very fundamental failing for a game in which you spend 99% of your time walking or driving around.

    - The controls are clunky, unintuitive and poorly explained.

    - The crying baby is immensely irritating.

    - This is the least compelling open-world game I've played. The world feels hollow and empty, and it isn't truly open - you regularly get funneled into areas with unavoidable hazards which is an incredibly artificial way to engineer a confrontation. Timefall also repeatedly occurs in the same places.

    - The game is plagued with cutscenes, prepare to sit through hours of them. Or skip them, many are essentially meaningless.

    - The game is also extremely linear and repetitive. It is essentially a giant fetch quest.

    One redeeming feature of the game is that it has a very unusual story, but this doesn't make it unique. Spend your money on the Witcher 3 or HZD, or literally anything else and save yourself the disappointment that is this game.    … Expand

    the gameplay loop may be tedious, but it's one of the best scripts ever written into game form

    Não sou acostumado com jogos do Kojima, mas gostei muito deste, não encontrei 1 erro sequer no jogo, gráficos lindos usando o motor gráfico do HZD, sempre tem algo novo acontecendo no jogo, como animações diferentes, jogabilidade muito boa, historia fantástica, o único problema para mim é um certa demora no desenrolar da historia, porém isso não afeta minha nota, experiência incrível,Não sou acostumado com jogos do Kojima, mas gostei muito deste, não encontrei 1 erro sequer no jogo, gráficos lindos usando o motor gráfico do HZD, sempre tem algo novo acontecendo no jogo, como animações diferentes, jogabilidade muito boa, historia fantástica, o único problema para mim é um certa demora no desenrolar da historia, porém isso não afeta minha nota, experiência incrível, principalmente o modo online inovador.… Expand

    I absolutely hated this game, I got 10 hours in and I forced myself to keep giving it another hour. I would give game a 0 because of the boring story and the horrible gameplay but I respect that he tried something different with this game. It’s a love or hate situation and for me, it wasn’t love.

    The game is absolutely not interesting. Locations look the same, npc’s movements look the same, dialogues are boring and senseless, the world is empty. All quests are super boring - go there, deliver something. Game mechanics is not anything genius, just few scripted moves. Spend more than 30 hours in game, stuck in the 3rd chapter and deleted it.

    Naprawde nudna gierka. Nie ma nic takiego co by Cie ciaglo do tej fabuly (ktora jest taka jakby jej nie było) gra miala jakis tam potencjal, ale szczerze gowno z tego wyszlo. Jedyne co mi sie podoba to stawianie mostow/generatorow itd. przez innych graczy dzieki czemu mozemy z tego korzystac.

    Honestly, this really is a god awful 'game'. Sure, the wandering around the pretty map can be relaxing but this quickly gets tiring. The story is ambitious, but very poorly executed with quite awkward character animations and strange dialogue transitions. The rampant product placement is just down right cringey. The inventory management is more complex than an A380 cockpit and the gameHonestly, this really is a god awful 'game'.

The story is ambitious, but very poorly executed with quite awkward character animations and strange dialogue transitions. The rampant product placement is just down right cringey. The inventory management is more complex than an A380 cockpit and the game mechanics are about as smooth as concrete. Honestly, I am baffled by the positive reviews. The Hideo fanboy defense of a bad creation is astounding. The strory is, admittedly, interesting. However, we all have a limited number of hours in our lifetime, and I highly advise against spending them on this mediocre game. Watch the cutscene compilation on YouTube and get on with your life.… Expand

    Very nice story telling, gorgeous graphics and a gameplay style that allows you to relax. I really hope other developers will follow suit and create such games. A genre of it's own.

    Сам геймплей довольно скучный. Только в последней трети игры более-менее интересно. Сюжет неплохой. Но что больше всего выбесило, так это совершенно хамское поведение разрабов с искусственным затягиванием прохождения. Сначала несколько раз подряд с одного конца карты на другой засылают, в 13 эпизоде уж совсем нагло титры на 40 минут подрубить без возможности пропустить.

    This game felt like I was working for an insane person who was trying his level best to slowly break my spirit by making me listen to nonsensical gibberish and perform incredibly dull tasks - over and over and over again. Well, it worked. I made it to chapter 7 and decided I'd sooner eat a bucket of glass than continue with this painful journey into mind-numbing tedium.

    **** Standing. This game is so annoying in so many ways... The first 30 mins are great, lots of expectations, nice graphics, cool music... Soon you realize the storytelling is slow and bad done, and the game becomes boring and repetitive, far too long and... uuugr I regret so much having paid for it...

    Insanely boring, tedious and monotonous. What the h*ll what Kojima thinking spending all these years making a game this repetitive. Such a waste of potential. Only good things are graphics. Also a very confusing and uninteresting story. Careless combat, no AI and also way to easy combat.

    Death Stranding is creating a new game genre and therefore paves its own path towards more interactive experiences. It is a brave work thanks to its novelty, which fortunately is not a bragging right for its creators, as it may have seemed, but an exceptional title that will reward the brave who play it.

    This game does manage to be fun, even if it is one of the heaviest experiences of 2019. Everything from story to gameplay is begging to be dissected, filled with imagery and symbolism -- just like so many Kojima games before this one. Entering Death Stranding, it’s likely that we all thought Kojima’s calling card was lengthy cutscenes and stealth and action gameplay.

    Death Stranding stands as a powerful author’s game which drives a strong message of how our over-connected society is evolving, and how we can help other players. Unlike many AAA games, it shines on a truly spiritual level. Well written, engaging and visually magnificent, it offers, despite some pacing flaws, an astonishing solo game with elegant multiplayer elements. A unique representation of Hideo Kojima’s talent.
