    This is one of the most overrated pieces of entertainment ever released. The game is a tedious, repetitive mess that offers no challenge whatsoever. All it asks from you as a player is your patience and time, lots of it. The world has little to no variety.

But the most infuriating thing about the game is how incredibly amateurish it is in the way it tells its story. Exposition, exposition and more exposition. I felt like watching a tv series from the eighties, where the plot is revealed through endless explanations by the cast. Kojima demonstrates again that he is a very flawed storyteller.… Expand

    After 5 hours playing to Death Stranding, I can't play anymore. This game is too bored, if you want a challenge or be fun, this game is not for you. If you want enjoy a cinematic experience, you want to relax and watch a lot of cinematics, may be you may enjoy Death Stranding.

    Unusual vision, great visual execution, poor immersion. Worth a try for anyone tired of modern AAA games but gets boring after some time. I bought DS Playstation Pro as it looks quite cool, same as the game. Just the gameplay lacks fun in the long run.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Death Stranding is also about throwing grenades made from your own piss and **** at ghosts. It is about hiking alone in the wilderness for hours. It is a tireless grind. It is a commentary on social media and the internet, delivered through the asynchronous interactions players can have with one another as they play. It is breathtaking in scope, consistently intelligent in design, and beautiful to behold. It is a heaping pile of pretentious nonsense. It is a game in which characters drop overwrought interpretations of Kōbō Abe quotes. Its most recurring visual motif is a not-so-subtle gesture towards Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow. It progresses not with the quiet stroke of a pen but with the pounding crash of a hammer. “I brought you a metaphor,” one of the characters says late in the game. It is stupid, and obvious, and perfect.… Expand

    This game is really boring. It’s not worth the £60 price tag. Graphics do not matter. Gameplay does! I think Kojima would be better of going into the movie industry, he has no idea what gameplay is.

The developer who directed the cutscenes admitted he didn't fully understand his game. All I know is that you play as some pregnant man who delivers stuff to holograms.

    The gameplay is beyond horrible in this game. It doesn't even have that much gameplay. Walking in this game is such a chore. The missions are so boring and repetitive. The physics are horrendous. All you do in this game is walk, it is a walking simulator. There are motorbikes you can drive, but you have to go through so many boring hours of walking just to get that. Speaking of the motorcycle, the driving mechanics are complete garbage in this game. It is tedious to worry about the battery of the bike. There is barely any combat, not to mention that it is lazily designed.

    The open world in this game is by far the most boring garbage I ever seen. The world is empty and there is nothing to do. There is nothing worth exploring in this boring world. Most of the world is full of plants, trees, rocks, and dirt. That is so boring to explore. This game lacks so much content. It seems to me that the developers forgot that videogames are suppose to be fun. I don't know why developers these days are so obsessed with making movies. They should focus more on what makes this medium unique and that is gameplay.

    There is no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, this game will go back to the shelf and collect dust. Charging $60 for a game with no replay value is a cashgrab. The greedy developers are basically charging $60 for a movie ticket. I didn't even bother beating the story, because this walking simulator almost put me to sleep. The only good thing in this game is graphics, but the graphics sacrificed the content and the gameplay mechanics. I don't recommend this poor excuse of a game at all. This movie will eventually be free on PS Plus in the future, and I still don't think it would be worth the time to download this trash.    … Expand

UNLEASH THE BEAST.

    You're playing as an uncharismatic amazon delivery officer. His notable characteristics are monotone voice that express no emotions, likes to swear because sometimes it might sound badass, doesn't care about anyone else or the world for the plot purpose, never has a clue what's going on even if the plot gives clear hints, and looks like Norman Reeves. If you guessed Norman Reeves, you're correct... You're playing as that actor from Walking Dead tv series, how cool is that, right?

    Gameplay and plot:

    Your main goal is walking with packages on your suit, receive compliments from the delivery terminal about how amazing is the work you're doing, how they cannot believe you managed to deliver a 5kg package all by yourself, and of course a big thank you with s star sticker on your paints. You're the deliveryman that with powers combined will reunite the country by serving important people of this world, people like: Geologist, Engineer, Doctor, Craftsman, am... an elder? a film maker? amm... a cos-player? seriously? In this dangerous world, every delivery counts, that's why it's important to deliver only stuff that will serve the future of UIA, like... pizza delivery in time, nice.

    The second main goal of the game is to stare at holograms of lifeless corpses that throws at you unnecessary dialogues and obnoxious plot expositions that lead nowhere. Although most of that stuff is just filler that doesn't lead nowhere and makes no sense, its primary purpose is to make you feel smart. Along the way, the game is trying to give you some insight at what new knowledge Kojima got from wikipedia while working on the game. For instance did you know America comes from the name of famous Italian explorer Amerigo? Or that ame means soul in French? Oh, you did? But did you know that Kojima didn't know that? You see, you learned something new. You just got smarter, tell your friends.

    If you like to rewatch pointless long animations then you're for a treat. Standing up with packages, putting down packages, delivering packages, watching car coming out of garage, taking shower, going 1 and 2, waking up etc. All that can be skiped by pressing options, then pressing skip. By the time you're done with the game you'll be wondering how many hours have you wasted pressing buttons to skip those animations. If anyone is calling while Reeves is on a mission, he can't just pick up the phone and be on his way. You see, it's too complex for the legend while walking or driving with those packages.

    The less I talk about the BB mechanics, the better. You'll have enough of that... thing, on your own.

    With all these combined, you get a totally new genre: A kojima game

    Characters:

    Troy Baker - basically he's Ocelot from MGS, except his charisma is replaced with pervert behaviors of an old man that suffers of impotence. He puts Skullface disappointment to shame.
    Fragile - She's Fragile, but she's not that fragile(Genius play on words there, Kojima)
    Die-Hard man - Hologram that reads text from a TV prompt in the present. Wears a stupid mask with no purpose and using his nickname from hotmail era as his name as an official.
    Guillermo Del Toro - Reveals details that mostly lead no where, then repeats stuff you already know.
    That president lady - Kinda spoler'ish*** Two of last episodes she'll be talking more then you gf, so be prepared.
    Mama - I won't be spoiling her, her story ark is great.
    BB - thanks to that thing I'm never gonna have kids, I'd rather die alone... maybe join Bridges or Fragile express.
    Heartman - Worst superhero name and overused "like" joke by Kojima.
    Mads Mikkelsen - He's cool.

    Visuals and music:

    Ok. So for your information this part of review is taken from my review in parallel dimension, so don't be surprised.

    Wow, absolutely breathtaking. Beautiful landscapes. Those bosses, their visuals are creative, unique and breathtaking. The way they die, those animations, I just want to re-watch them again and again. It looks so surreal and yet believable, that I cannot be unimpressed. The way the environment changes from solid to black fluid is

    The music selection here is great. Just like the first announcement trailer, music fits in so nicely it feels like the part of the landscape and environment of the game. When you're walking and the music kicks in while the camera zooms out, is one of those moments you relax and can enjoy the journey, as if you reached Nirvana. Why would Kojima not allow us play music like on iPod in MGS4 or a cassette player in MGS5 is anyone's guess.

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.

    Time to review Death Stranding now that all the hyp has come to pass. The result is not very good.

I have seen, heard some people and friends telling me to get this game, because of how original and revolutionnary it was. I listened to them, even though many others told me that it was going to be awful, but I bit the bullet.

    Well, the thing I can say is that it enlightened me on what you should not do in a game. The UI is atrocious, the gameplay horrible, repetitive as hell and I have never seen such a bad physics engine in a game. All the things apparently revolutionnary, you could already find them in other games. Giving advices and likes to people ? Dark Souls already did that. Building things together ? Well Minecraft is here for you and much more complete. I wanted to be able to build more infrastructures and cities, instead of just generators, highways and bridges.

    The game is giving improvements for your equipment, but it harly changes anything. You are always limited by the physical engine and the battery. Sometimes, you think something will happen annd immediatley right after, the developers take that away from you. It is not fun, it is so easy without any challenge and the boss fights are laughable.

    What I will give to this game is that it has an excellent score, a good direction overall and a good art-style. However, the writing is really inconsistent and it truly lacks some motivations behind it. Yes, some characters background are a little more detailed, but it is not something I have never seen before and it doesn't add to the main plot at all. Normally, a game tend to do that in excellent quest companions or side quests, not during a huge part of the main plot. Some dialogues are also a bit cringy and I can see why people would think some aspects are intelligent. You have to play more games to understand that while the form is good, what is behind has already been done in much better ways.

    Some people told me the story takes off after some times ( 20-25 hours which is already too long ), but the reality is that it never takes off, without spoiling. The cinematics are good, but only Mads Mikkelsen is really doing something.

    Overall, I was not impressed. It is a new IP and yet it takes so many things from other games. The story is tedium despite a good direction and the gameplay is abysmal and drag the whole game down. Not a good experience at all.    … Expand

    Absolute artsy fartsy garbage. Basically a post-apocalyptic fedex simulator with garbage mechanics that don't even work half of the time. It is by far the worst purchase I have ever made in my life and may God never let Kojima get work ever again. It is about as fun as getting kicked in the groin for 48 hours while watching paint dry.

    Death Stranding has NOTHING that makes Breath of the Wild good except for its graphical quality and how pretty it looks. The game is empty and barren like No Man's Sky, the gameplay is monotonous and boring; it's like someone took the control scheme from QWOP and tried to make it sound revolutionary. "Oh man, you have to balance Norman Reedus out by pressing the L2 and R2 buttons!" That is NOT a selling point in this boring Walking Simulator.

    It's such a generic looking Sci-Fi game that all it's proven is how up his own ass Kojima is and that all he knows how to do is make more Metal Gear Solid games with a bunch of bells and whistles but no substance at all.

    This game is an overhyped piece of crap and it baffles me that it's even got a 61% positive rating in the first place. Don't waste your money on this because all you're doing is stoking Kojima's ego and allowing him to further his own pitiful and lackluster ideas.

    And don't get me started on how much of a misogynist he is when it comes to objectifying women in his game through some disgusting power fantasy. I won't go into it because this isn't some SJW review and I don't hate myself that much.    … Expand

Even the plotFrom the very beginning of the game, all the characters explains things to Sam like he was born yesterday into that world. It doesn't make any sense, but was the only way to explain all the bizarre things of the game to the player. Them continuing explaining things throughout the game, but they’re just pointing out the obvious and not adding anything valuable to the game. Even the plot itself is absolutely tenous, because it’s full of plot holes and inconsistencies.

    Many situations are childish and serious moments [especially dialogues] are such cringe-worthly bad written that I facepalmed myself most of the time. I’m pretty sure it’s nothing to do with the bad English translating, but rather purposely written by master-writer-wannabe-movie-maker Kojima himself.
    Can you imagine there are enemies who have got high/crazy from the 'likes' they got from online :D really; enemies high of Facebook likes. I kinda understand the poorly made metaphora behind it of nowdays people living with the 'likes' and 'shares', but adding it to such context is just… horrible.

    Funny, when watching videos or reading online of fan theories made before launch were those that interested me most. All the fan theories and ideas were MUCH, much more interesting, imaginative and well-thought than anything the game gave us. If the game would’ve been even close of theories, playing the game would’ve been better. Kojima should hire some of those fans!!
    I wonder what he have thought when reading fan theories, maybe realizing how washy his creation was going to be compared to them.
    The writing is actually SO BAD, that even the characters' names are ridiculous and unimaginative that they feel like quickly scraped concept ideas (FRAGILE, MAMA, DEADMAN, DIE-HARDMAN, HEARTMAN, BB, BEACHED THINGS), trying to be something spiritually meaningful, but only what they do is spoiling the player by giving up their true agenda.

    The character that I hate the most is Sam himself (SAM PORTER BRIDGES) *ugh—sigh, pun intented*, Norman's acting job is very much like in The Walking Dead; one dimensional without any facial expressions, grunting most of the time and having no strong personality. This suites his role in TWD. Maybe the reason Kojima wanted him was the fact he liked Norman in the series, but poorly understood copying the exact same role (including the motorcycle, hairstyle and overall appearance) to DS simply doesn’t work. He seemingly wanted to use Norman’s fame and flair, rather than bothering to write him a good new role. Feels as they're Kojima’s personally favourite Hollywood actors, rather than perfectly fitting into the game. This gives another stamp on Kojima’s forehead that he is not very good upcoming film maker, when he doesn’t understand how writing a role and finding a perfect actor for it works. I’m pretty sure some non-famous never-heard new actors would’ve made much better job and that actually would’ve give DS more personal look.

    Gameplay-wise the game is poor and lacking, as well. All the balancing things with carrying the stuff was just dull and getting on my nerves rather quickly. Carrying packages from place to place, sneaking past those BTs and if they got me, I ended up to some underworld and I had to kill a boss to get myself back—now thinking of—to the actual hell of continuing the torture of endless walking simulation. All the bosses in the game were a way too easy, even in the maximum difficultiness (HARD).
    It’s so exasperating that the game has some interesting and peculiar aspects, but have bad execution. I can say there were good ideas/thoughts but being 'game-changing title in video game industry' it's not.

    The good things about DS is how beautiful it is visually. Sadly, most of the areas are vast and empty.

    The reason of over-marketing and using famous actors, is perhaps to cover all the lacking things. Kojima propably knew this game is trash and wanted to market it like No Man’s Sky with lying to the audience. Well, if DS follows the same route, then in 2 years it propably have actual good content in it. But, if you must "experience" this garbage, then just watch walkthrough videos on Youtube.

    It became very clear all those good reviews were bought from big outlets, truly sad and desperate move from Sony/Kojima. If he so badly wants to 'connect the world' and 'people stay connected' [as he keeps obsessively repeating over and over again in his social media] then maybe he should start to walk across the globe with a 'strand in his hands' and try to 'connect people' (again, whatever that even means? [thinking of Human Centipede]) and see how much fun is that to do.

    Like Kojima said, his studio is going to do movies from now on… well, maybe that is the best move since if the games are this bad from him he should quit being game developer. At least he got good starting money for his future movies :) good luck with that.    … Expand

This story is a mess, most people don't want to slog through 20+ hours of bad story to get to decent game-play, and more bad story. The story leaves things unexplained to the point of obscurity, and it makes the game not enjoyable for normal people who don't have some sort of paid critic agenda.

    This game is damn near impossible to spoil though, so at least there is that! Timefall, baby batteries, the last ever FedEx worker in the apocalypse, and all the Monster energy drinks in the world do not a story make if it's just stuff in a video game. The Monster energy drink promos are almost as bad as the advertisements in the emoji movie; are we supposed to believe Monster is the only drink to survive the apocalypse? Monster is in this game so much I thought one of the cans might get up and talk to the player at some point and become a character.

    We need to "rebuild America" in this game because the afterlife is seeping through to our world somehow (how?), and there is rain that ages things. WTF is this story, seriously?

    This game is really disappointing in every way. Kojima forgot what it was like to create a good video game. He only thought of his most devoted fans and forgot about the others.

    How can one dare to afford to create a boring game the first 20 hours to only offer a little action almost fun afterwards?

    When I buy a game it is to have fun, not to bother to deliver packages for 15-20 hours.

    If this game is saved by the press it is certainly because it was accompanied by a check, that the tester is a hardcore fan of Kojima and / or that the game is exclusive to the PS4.

    Honestly, this game will be remembered especially for being a real playful failure.

    The acting game or the soundtrack can not save this game. By putting this on the front of the stage, we forget the essence of the video game: have fun!

    Game to avoid!    … Expand

    Игра как и автор переоценены, однообразное шатание по миру в костюме Яндекс еды. Очень пафосный автор, очень пафосная пиар компания, игра не стоит внимания, скучно

    Aburridisimo. Una historia cursi y de relleno. Absolutamente independiente al juego en sí.

    This game is one of the most dissapointing games I've ever played, I expected a ground-breaking and exciting experience but I got a tedious, boring and gray walking simulator instead

    Everytime someone says they like this game, they add "it's not for everybody". i think it's a way of saying "deep down i don't like it, but i reject that sentiment on others". Because nobody says that when they're convinced that a game is good. if it's good it's just good, period

    Okay so me being almost 7 hours in the game and being so invested(financially and emotionally) in this game for almost 4 years now I have to say that it’s really a game that is trying so hard to be something different but fails to deliver any sense of innovative creation other than being graphically amusing which is not enough to elevate the experience! I’m terribly disappointed!

    No es exclusivo, tiene errores de carga horribles, Guillermo del toro parece un robot, la primera hora de juego son 40 min de cinemáticas, se copió la historia de Astral Chain, no vale la pena .... Es un timo por 60$, en la epic store ya está en 30$

    Kojima hizo lo que nadie ha hecho, crear un juego con excelentes graficos, un mapa extenso, PERO carente de contenido diverso, es el tipico lleva y trae encomiendas a distintos puntos repetitivos a mas no poder. Una historia incoherente con la jugabilidad del personaje, porque al final no dejas de ser un mensajero desde que inicias hasta que finalizas el juego.

    No existe diferencia    Kojima hizo lo que nadie ha hecho, crear un juego con excelentes graficos, un mapa extenso, PERO carente de contenido diverso, es el tipico lleva y trae encomiendas a distintos puntos repetitivos a mas no poder. Una historia incoherente con la jugabilidad del personaje, porque al final no dejas de ser un mensajero desde que inicias hasta que finalizas el juego.

    No existe diferencia entre las 2 modalidades de dificultad, simplemente porque no las tiene, los mismos fanaticos del juego lo mencionan: "es un gran juego pero que no va a gustar a todos", es como que te digan que vas a vivir mas que la mayoria pero que eres un enfermo incurable y que tarde o temprano dejaras este mundo....

    Son tan absurdos los "enemigos" que los que se consideran "dificiles" es tan facil ocultarse de ellos sin que te escuchen para continuar repartiendo paquetes, ni que decir de la enfermedad mental del desarrollador: un meon compulsivo al que en su mente retorcida le hace creer que crecen hongos con su aguita amarilla...

    Realmente no vale la pena mas alla de llenarle los bolsillos a las tiendas que distribuyen este juego y sobretodo pagarle las comisiones a ciertos fanaticos que titulan sus videos de forma sensacionalista para que incautos caigan y pasen por caja para luego decepcionarse del simulador de entregas.

    Ah y me olvidaba, te dicen que el mundo donde se desenvuelve es del tipo post apocaliptico y por eso te encuentras en un mundo vacio y que le falta conexion a lo largo y ancho del pais , sin embargo esta tan bien "conectado" por una red invisible que permite darte like por cada paquete entregado , es decir te dicen que necesitas interconectar puntos del mapa, y sin embargo descubre que existe una red de conexion (lo absurdo en su maxima expresion), solo es coherentes para jugadores enfermizos que confunden gastar compulsivamente    … Expand

    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.
