    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!

    I started to play the game last year and eventually put it to the side after being influenced (I confess) by some people calling it a glorified walking simulator, which it is if I'm honest. However, it's so much lore than that!

    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

    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.
