    Simplemente no a sido dirigido para ser un juego, si fuese una película no estaría mal. Pero el juego esta tan lleno de "relleno" que no es ni disfrutable su única característica positiva "la narrativa"

    The worst walking simulator. Enemies are far way to useless, the bosses are boring, and the game has absolutely 0 fun until the 20 ours and then u pass from 0 fun to 0,1. A real waste of money.

    Death Stranding is the first ever "Strand" type game, and I hope it's the last Strand type game because this game has possibly the worst gameplay of all time.

    First i'd like to say that this game tries so hard to make your progression as tedious and annoying as possible. It throws the tiniest thing at you, punishes you for no reason other than adding in almost fake difficulty just to slow down your playtime. Not only that, but a lot of the physics are really clunky, and the BTs as they're called were interesting for their first reveal, but then they just come off as another addition to the mentioned annoying systems.

    This isn't to say that Walking Simulators are boring or bad. The Stanley Parable was really fun and enjoyable, but imagine if that game just suddenly kept throwing objects at you every 10 seconds to stun your vision, or block out it's narrator with a ton of loud noises. That's what Death Stranding does for it's whole Delivering Packages shtick.

    The story is pretty eh. I think it lacks any real hooks or OOMPHs to get you involved, other than that it does have some good moments, and the actors are great too, but we gotta talk about the writing for a second. Fragile(one of the main characters) has a lot of the most cheesy and one dimensionally stupid lines i've ever read. "I'm fragile but not that fragile." is something a middle school student would write in their rough draft of a "About me" paper. If you're not one for long winded cutscenes, you'll also want to stay away cause everyone in this game likes to take up a lot of your time.

    The idea of vehicles, structures, ladders, and other items left behind players is pretty cool. I wish I could meet other players though, but for what it has, it's pretty nice to know you're not alone in the game.

    Overall it's a 3/10. This game is pretty painful to play, and I would definitely recommend a lot of other games than this one. But this review isn't over yet. I wanna go over some of the other things surrounding Death Stranding.

    Kojima said that the reason American players don't really like Death Stranding is because we prefer FPS games, and that we're having trouble understanding it. I think this is just a poor perspective to take on the situation, and is just a blatant attempt to dismiss our criticisms because it's actually just a really damn boring game.    … Expand

    A game with very poor gameplay. The plot is served not smoothly throughout the game, but mostly at the beginning of the piece and at the end. And there are a lot of questions to the plot. According to the advertising company and the hype that was around her, she failed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Kojima messed up this time. Even the spoilers on the discord before were much more fun and reasonable than the actual game.
    1. The game has a strong personal style of Kojima, perhaps he would like to control 100% of those characters’ performance, but this only leads to a result, that actors' understanding of the role are not the same as what they behaved.
    2. There's a huge gulf between the game-playing and the story plot. For a long time, it’s almost like "You can be rewarded to play as long as you've done your chores", rewarding some story after a dull (or not, depending on whether you likes to be packhorse or not) play.
    3. What the game was told, is a totally catastrophe, or say, this game has almost no narrative at all. All stories are told by everyone’s "Sam, you need to know this", even about the characters themselves! All the characters, Fragile, Deadman, Mama, Heartman and DieHard Man. Can you imagine a victim dictating her own tragic past? This is stupid.
    4. Character building is also terrible, which is the consequence of poor storytelling. All the characters dictate to the player what they are, and with too many unnecessary settings (like Deadman being a Cyborg, so what?) , it shows that Kojima is trying to instill in the player "what's the character like" Without leaving any space. Oh and besiedes, even the main theme is connection, there is no connection between most of the characters each other. They are just connecting to Sam.
    5. Comparing to others, Sam, however, is not shown much in this game. Too little characterization of Sam, and the lack of describing the relationship between Sam and Emilie throughout the story, leads to a serious discrepancy between Emilie's character and the player's understanding, and so at the climax of the game, I, and many of my friends are baffled by the act we must do to continue this game, by hugging Emilie.
    6. The main story of the game does not exist any choice, with awful characterization lead to an unconvincing end. This makes the game itself like a movie, a one-sided absorption with no way of feedback. A lot of people think Kojima should make a movie for this game, but given those conditions above, the game's narrative skills are so poor that it will turn into a horrible slapstick play.
    7. The world design is cool, and nothing else. There are too many settings are just for settings. In the game, many of the settings are even phenomenal, with no mention of the essence at all. It doesn't mean anything except, wow, this is cool.
    8. With Western-like scene and characters, yet the story is still, after all, a Japanese-style family drama. The grand design is only for a small story, and I have to say I felt wasteful.
    9. A game that makes you think about pain should not be done by making the reader or player experience pain. I'm talking about the beach walk at the end of the game.
    There may be more, but due to my terrible English it’s too difficult to complain.    … Expand

On top of that we got very bad writting, that can turn all important moments in a cringefest, i'm not sure whether it's bad translation or exact intend of Kojima. We get ourselfs some one dimensional side characters with such a creative names such as Deadman, Mama and Fragile which if anything sound like a names for bots in multiplayer games. And yes their names do hint their motivations. What? You thought the characters will have real names or at least misleading nicknames? Too bad, this game was only made to look intelligent, but in reality it's pretty straight foward with it's ideas and intents to the point of explaining us everything before the said things are even properly introduced to us, we don't get time to learn about the characters, we already know everything we need to know about them, making any interactions with them look trivial.
    Of course critics will give it high scores, most of them are already well paid by the creator and those who got confused by the plot will simply give it high rating to make sure community isn't pissed off and doesn't want them be fired or something(example: several years ago some reviewer gave GTA V 9/10 and fanboys wanted that reviewer to be fired good times really...)
    Gameplay wise it's very weak, repetive almost identical missions, any obstacles encountered in the game are way too easy to avoid and defeat, making presence of BT's and Mules look pointless. The world of the game is an empty void.
    Graphically looks a lot better then loads of crap that was Days Gone but it's not saying much or anything for that matter, it looks alright at best and painfully medicore at worst with reused environment. The game was promising with Kojima's first attempt to make video game on his own, but it feels like Kojima just surrounded himself with yes-man and ignored every single flaw of the game, he even went so far to call it a new genre while in reality it's just another linear sandbox game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The definition of insanity is - Look it up. I'll wait. I could tell you the entire plot of this game and it would not matter. I’m sure Kojima wrote this game by throwing a bunch of those poetry refrigerator magnets at a wall and writing down what they said.

    Magic Words: D.S. is the Monster Energy Drink of convincing ourselves that a regular game is an extraordinary game. So let’s get into it. Death Stranding is the funniest game of the year. But let me back up. I’m not saying Death Stranding is a bad game. Its not. Its just, Average. It looks beautiful. It’s relatively, mostly well-acted. Lore is interesting. I believe that everything Kojima wanted to do in this game, he did. But it was all Half assed and a basically am experiment. DS is written as a serious game. It has a msg it wants to tell us and that msg is that we are no longer connected as society. That is why you, as Sam, must walk across Usa connecting different points. The entire culture of D.S is the funniest thing of the year. Every moment of dialogue is lol funny. I’m not a statistician but I’d say maybe 100% of the cutscenes ended with me doing the jerkoff motion. When an aid to the president wearing a skull mask calls himself Die-Hardman, its plain Comedy. When characters won’t stop fking calling you over your codec to remind you of **** they just told you literally 30secs before, you lol in disbelief. The seriousness of a scientist telling you that your **** can be turned into a grenade is so strange. Interesting but weird. And the fact that it’s all wrapped up in a weird anti-social media and anti-abortion theme is, uh meh to morbid. But to give Kojima full credit the scenes are not supposed to be funny are also funny. Let’s not forget the product placement. Good Lord. In this world, we’re led to believe that all of America has fallen apart, except for the Monster Energy Drink corporation and fken AMC. What the fudge kojima-man? That cant pass as humour. Come the **** on. It’s product placement. No, It’s not a commentary on product placement in media. It’s just fking placement. it ****s on all seriousness of game. Because America can’t be totally disconnected and have mass produced brands. It’s just too stupid. Well its not buggy! It’s just so ridiculous. Sam trudging across mountains with a giant stack of boxes on his back is one of the funniest views in gaming. Let alone the fact that you’re constantly told that Sam Strand the Delivery Man is the only good porter in the business and then find 1000's other useful objects left behind by other players. Every moment you’re supposed to be overwhelmed by the solitude of our disconnected society is interrupted by 30 signs left behind by other peeps. Also, I’m glad that Kojima saw the crying babies in Yoshi’s Island and thought, “Yeah, let’s bring that back. If there’s anything to learn from that game it’s that crying babies work. The delivery system in Death Stranding is probably the best metaphor for the game itself. Characters with high expectations ask you to carry a big load, and then your ass falls over and have to coddle a crying baby. The baby in this being me, the player. That’s why the entire culture around D.S is funny to me. If you read reviews, Death Stranding is either a masterpiece of genius or a monstrosity that has disappointed the very Gods. It’s neither. It’s a frkiing game. It’s a weird game, but it’s not that different than other games. A lot of games have fetch quests. We already have games where you travel across rough terrain to deliver goods, had games where you explore and climb mountains and leave clues for other players, had games where you have to quiet a crying baby. DS just combines them into an obtuse package. That’s it. Saying, “There’s nothing like it” is just us advertising to ourselves. People angry at the game were unfairly expecting something brilliant from the man who had a half-naked woman in Metal Gear Solid tell her entire life story after being shot in the lungs. People who love the game are upset that not everyone is enjoying spending doing the same basic gameplay loop for 60 hours and then being told to **** off by the ending. It’s art, but all video games are art. You don’t need to justify it to enjoy it. Stop shoving it down our throats. There’s nothing that deep about D.S. The story is obvious, and the aspects of its world building that are confusing are confusing because they’re hidden behind cagey dialogue. The BTs or BBs aren’t confusing so much as confusingly explained. Understanding what’s happening or what it’s about isn’t that hard. And the fact that we really want there to be is the funniest part of all.     … Expand

    The only thing that makes it stand out is the capture technology used to make the world and character seem more alive, yet even there Kojima managed to screw up, creating some of the cringiest and most unrealistic movements in certain scenes. Ignore this game, ignore all Kojima games. He's reached the same status as Peter Molyneux and Richard Gariott - maybe they were great once upon a time, but all of their modern creation is complete nonsense because they are too full of themselves.

    "A game is fun. If the game is not fun, why bother?" Reggie fils-aime

    This game articulates itself on the concept of being boring and tedious. It is therefore not fun and subsequentially is not a "game". So if death stranding had to be rated as a game, it would logically deserve the minimum mark, that is: 0/10. A lot has to be said as well on the cult of personality surrounding    "A game is fun.

    A lot has to be said as well on the cult of personality surrounding Kojima and the astounding bias of the professional press towards this "game". This could actually be the only merit that death stranding deserves in the end: it has brought the total corruption of the video game media in broad daylight.

    The overnight deletion of 6400 negative user reviews by metacritic under the fallacious reasons that they were not constructive enough (although all the other 10/10 were kept - double standards) is yet another illustration of what is happening here and on the will to suppress freedom of speech about this "game".

    Diciendo lo anterior, este juego es un insulto a la industria del videojuego, tanto por los premios entregados (que parecian los oscars de cine) como la manera de vender el juego incluso a dia de hoy por la prensa.

    El juego en si es terriblemente aburrido, cargada de una historia profunda en el sentido que tu quieras darle, por que a mi ver "unir a las personas" es simplemente juntarlas para luchar contra un mal que les perjudica (a esto se le llama "hacer huelga" en mi pais, en resumen manifestarse).

    Enviar a un repartidor de un lado a otro con varias cajas a la espalda no fomenta la unificación. La humanidad saldria fuera a enfrentarla en vez de vivir como ratas en los bunkeres que tienen por hologramas. Ese es el concepto basico de supervivencia que hemos vivido durante los albores de nuestra creación. Morir o Matar en resumidas cuentas.

    Dicho esto hablando de los graficos y banda sonora = nada que haya visto distinto de otros juegos y aunque me pongan una musica triste si no entiendo el por que de tal tristesa en el momento que me la ponen deja de ser un sin sentido. Los graficos compuestos de testuras verdes y negras no ofrecen nada mas que no nos haya enseñado un no man sky en su fase alfa.
    Una cantidad de cinematicas que son la recompensa de dar paseos de izquierda a derecha repartiendo cajas con pizzas, muñecos y skines.

    Tecnicamente vas a disfrutar mas jugando a Track Simulator que a este juego, por que hay mas obstaculos reales como las señales de trafico o otros vehiculos.

    Resumiendo un mundo muerto con un ciervo de intro el cual no volveras a ver durante todo tu trayecto. Si puedes pillalo de segunda mano y bajate del tren antes de que se estrelle, por que mas de un tarugo ha comprado este producto pensando que seria un Metal Gear VI y acabado vendiendolo en el wallapop por 70 euros con feto incluido.

    PD: si usaramos en estos game awards la misma bara de medir de death stranding con cyberpunk a cyberpunk le deberian dar un camion de premios.

    -Mejor actor

    -Mejor dirección (que terriblemente han confundido con director)

    One of the emptiest open worlds ever conceived, mouthbreather world assets such as buildings, NPCs, wildlife, etc etc are a thing of the past, now they're replaced with little trigger points for you to "stumble" and run out of stamina, generators to charge vehicles the game is just not designed to accomodate, in a bland world devoid of content.
    BUT, the lore justifies it. "It's art!"
    Gameplay is pathetic, it doesn't just figuratively spit in your face by making your endless slogs through the bland sandbox as irritating as possible, yet not deep and balanced enough to be engaging, but also has probably the most underwhelming, single-button masher, undercooked and unbalanced combat systems I've seen this generation.
    Oh and this time, "art" isn't there to convince the pseudo-intellectuals that it's simply meant to be this way.
    BTs and MULEs are so incapable of navigating their environments, of hurting the player or pose any kind of challenge that combat encounters are literally banal, WHILE the lore establishes these chickens as dangerous renegades and lovecraftian monstrosities.
    And you have a story that's convoluted, pseudo-intellectual, pretentious and dissonant beyond mortal belief.
    This is a game you watch a cutscene compliation of with your buddies to clown how bad everything about it is.
    The online element is at least somewhat refreshing, adds this sense of companionship and not being alone (and you need a LOT of that in this game).
    The graphics are nice and detailed, kind of a shame I stopped giving a **** about graphics after the PS3 era, that was probably the last time graphics were a "wow" factor for me, especially when the games supposed art direction is basically non-existent.    … Expand

    Lo lamento pero 10 horas es lo que más pude aguantar. Es muy estresante, aburrido a mas no poder. Redundante en todo cuando se hace, pensé que si ponen más de 80 de nota es porque les gustará.a todos, pero esto es para pocos.... Muy pocos. Súper aburrido no puedo más.

    In my opinion the purpose of a game is to entertain. I did not have this with this game, it was a total waste of money and time, nice graphics and soundtrack, but was not entraining....

    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.
