    It really sucks how Kojima is always seeking the approval from people that are disconnected from the gaming industry. That includes Hollywood actors and directors (George Miller, JJ Abrams), but even those outside of the Hollywood industry like musicians, fashion models(???), etc. Why do these people matter? They could be making good art in their own medium, but what does that have to doIt really sucks how Kojima is always seeking the approval from people that are disconnected from the gaming industry.

He even cast Mala Moran, a model completely incapable of acting, as a slightly-important side character (look up the chiral artist, and you will explode with cringe). Whyyyyy???
    Kojima is just super disconnected from the game industry, and is also disconnected from the common gamers (rise up) who actually matter. Instead of just bashing Americans, he needs to listen the criticisms and use them to his advantage. But I guess he'd rather have "yes men" surrounding him, leaving his ego unchecked. Always retweeting people who "like the view" of the game, or "are touched by the story", are you kidding me?

    Beautiful game, but very boring gameplay, story was OK but overall the game was a overhyped walking sim, yes it has vehicles and combat but that is a small part of the game and the Cobat was the worst I have seen In a game.
    You can get a job delivering pizzas and experience this but actually get paid for it rather than paying for it.

    Terrible, monotonous, confusing and pretentious, this is not a game, It's a movie, Kojima isn't the man to make games, he's the man to make movies, groundbreaking movies.
    But when you let him do whatever he wants, this is the result: A walking simulator that comes with a movie, a movie that can't show It's full potential because IT'S NOT A MOVIE, It's cutscenes.

    Not even 24hrs after buying it, I will be trading it in. What a boring, overhyped mess of a game, you really don't feel any sense of being rewarded throughout play apart from being gifted cut-scenes. The gameplay and story are both extremely tedious and nonsensical, and overall extremely boring and repetitive.

    I was really looking forward to this game. I love Japanese culture and am a fan of Kojima's other games. But this simply does not make any sense at all. And to be honest, Sony should know better than this. If a _game_ is solely reliant on its story then it's not exactly a game, is it? What strikes me even more is that 'critic' reviews of this game are incredibly high. I can see how tastesI was really looking forward to this game.

I can see how tastes differ, we all like different things. Sure, but these scores make you wonder how many of these reviews have been bought.

    Game mechanics are simply not good enough. And I don't mean from a technical point of view, the game is beautifully executed. But conceptually so many things are wrong. One can clearly see how common sense left the creative team at the start. And how the vision of a mere few (I assume (and hope) Kojima isn't the only person on duty) have been dogmatically implemented.

    Games should be played (never thought I'd have to point this out), playing should be fun. Easy to learn and hopefully difficult to master. Controlling an interactive movie brings me back to the days of Myst and 7th guest for those old enough to remember. It wasn't fun then, it is not fun now.

    In summary, such a shame this didn't work out. Hopefully Kojima's next game will be awesome like so many of his other work.    … Expand

    It's a shame, cause I expected this game to restore my interest in gaming, as I quit gaming years ago because the gaming industry turned into a complete joke.

However, this game turned out to be no better than any other trash that came out since I mostly left gaming behind (5-6 years ago). Of course, any other 'brilliant' Sony exclusive deserves the very same '0', same as almost any other AAA game of the past decade. It's all the same formula, a bunch of low-end movies mixed with some primitive rudimentary gaming mechanic, sorta tetris (although it's an insult to tetris to say so). No creativity whatsoever, just creation of nonsense for the sake of a quick buck. Gaming industry is beyond repair, only maybe the development of 'real' VR can save it, although in that case it won't be gaming industry anymore, more like virtual reality industry.

    So yeah, any other game that came out since 2010 deserves no less criticism than Death Stranding (looking at you guys, those who praised all the crap before DS, but decided to treat DS fairly). BUT, it's difficult to recall any other game, which had such a misleading marketing campaign. Sony and KojiPro deliberately created misleading trailers, artificially raised hype, and misinformed gamers during the interviews and presentations. And that's why DS is getting so much hate. Even though crap like Horizon: Zero Dawn, God of War 4, New Spider-Man, Last of US and all the other rubbish movies masked as games are definitely no better and probably even worse than DS, they didn't get nearly as much hate because their developers and marketers didn't misrepresent their creations and didn't create excessive hype or unnecessary mystery.

    Too bad my dream game turned out to be no better than all the trash that made me lose interest in gaming in the first place. I guess I'll probably never return to gaming then, not until VR becomes decent enough at least. Don't waste your money on all the trash that's been coming out during the past decade and is going to come out in the near future, guys. Don't help to continue killing the gaming industry by financially supporting irresponsible devs and publishers. Even though this industry is already pretty much dead anyway...    … Expand

    Hideo Kojima's Sidequest: The Game revolves around you delivering packages from point A to point B, with lengthy CG cutscenes in-between. Perfect scores are mildly insulting, as anyone who has actually played this game or isn't a Kojima fan quickly realises this is bargain bin material. There are pretty much no redeeming features. Avoid.

    Creating a “masterpiece" - Let’s say you’re a game developer that’s really frustrated, really angry, disappointed of the whole gaming industry. You’re fed up with the greedy publishers, the big business politics, the spoiled ungrateful gamers, the stuck up gaming media. You want to stick it to the man, you want to stick it to the whole damn gaming world. How would you do it? How would a full triple-A “sticking it”-game, look like?
    Let’s see now… It would have to be boring, if there is something gamers hate it is boring game-play, it has to be too long, over stay any welcome, I mean like 50-60 hours long, filled with repetitive tasks, without variation. The hero, he has to be right out bland, a nobody, doing tedious grunt work, like a garbage man, or… a postman? Yes, that sounds like watching paint dry! A postman delivering parcels, walking for hours and hours to get from A to B, to C to f-n Z! Even the side-missions should be the same damn thing! Yes, that’s great! And when I say walking, I mean walking for half an hour of game-play to deliver ONE package, in a terrain that’s monotonous as hell, tripping over yourself. It must be a chore. The world must be stony, hilly, slippery, wet. And let’s make this guy highly unstable, and since he always carries too much, he will stumble over every rock and cranny. And if he falls to many times (and we make damn sure that he will) the cargo will be destroyed! LOL… No leveling up for him! Sound good, and after like ten hours of this walking, we give him some sort of vehicle, a motorbike, and he’s like, “Yes, finally I can get somewhere”, but not so fast, because, of course, the vehicle will be even more frustrating, it will get stuck, it is clearly not built for this, it will easily overturn destroying the cargo, and when and if the player get the bike going at some speed, we throw in the most generic mud-slime-enemy to F**K it up, to the point where the player actually will consider leaving the bike and rather be walking … Rad! Talking about the enemies, they will have to be boring as well, and too easy to beat, gamers hate that, even the bosses should be bland as H***, repetitive fights, not too much variation, abstract, like the smoke-monster on Lost or something . Hm, I like were this is going! So now we have the worst possible game-play, a boring postman as the hero, a few bland side characters with generic childish names, like, Stone-man, Black tar-man? But… what’s the setup, the story?
    …How about this, a dystopian empty future where this guy, this postman, saves America by delivering mail from cost to cost? You know that kind of naïve patriotism only a foreigner can make up… And then we throw in some quirky symbolic stuff, like other dimensions and stuff, and when we lured the sponsors and the financing in, we’ll make a few thought provoking clips to fire up the gamers, litter cryptic messages on twitter, hire big stars to kick start the hype. The Solid Snake-fan boys will eat that **** it up! They will eat it up and when the game is released they will gladly bend backwards defending the bore by calling it “immersing”, the mumbo-jumbo story by calling it “great art” and the 60 hours of repetition by calling it “challenging”! They will live in this denial for years to come! I will win prices and fame, because no one dares to say - “But the emperor, he is naked!” And just too really write it on the nose, we will make it really obvious, we will force them to weaponize their own p**, s** and blood fighting those generic bosses. We will have them p** and s** on cue, and every time they take a closer look at their hero, he will break the 4th wall, stick his tongue out and give them the finger! And while all this is going on… I will laugh my ass off!

    This game could have been incredible but what se got instead is a glorified walking simulator crammed with non-sensical boring cutscenes. If this was a movie it might have been...decent? But as a game it's basically you delivering packages all the time with a small part of that time being occupied with mediocre combat (?) and mildly interesting visses. Buy at your own risk.

    La calidad gráfica no hace a un juego, el arte de los videojuegos es su mecánica, es lo principal, es lo que lo diferencia de ver una película, ya que aporta la inmersión y desde mi punto de vista DS fallo totalmente en ela parte más importante para un videojuego.

    Spectacular graphics but very slow start, too many cinematographies, you never get hooked, you sleep before.
    And I still commissioned the collectors edition thinking that this game was going to be wonderful. Wait for this game in offer or watch gameplays, it's too boring!

    EUROGAMER devolvedme mi dinero, os hago directamente responsables a vosotros. ¿Qué ha salido bien exactamente?

    El juego es una paja de Kojima; no tiene sentido en términos de entretenimiento, su jugabilidad no la entiendo, ni los actores ni los diseñadores, no tiene diversión y la misma prensa que tacha a algunos juegos de repetitivos alaba esta mierda. Luego dicen que los medios especializados que suspenden el juego están buscando notoriedad y yo ahora me llevo las manos a la cabeza.

    Es unir el basto mundo de Zelda Breath of the Wild pero vaciándolo, es la lentitud de Red Read Redemption pero sin posibilidad de que ocurran cosas, es la exploración de los walking simulators pero mal ejecutada.

    Los gráficos son muy buenos y la historia pasable, cringe, una rareza y ya que te has gastado el dinero que mínimo que saber de que iba el asunto, pero ahí se acaba Death Stranding. Estoy seguro que Kojima ha hecho lo que ha podido y en su cabeza este juego era mucho mejor, pero ha salido mal el experimento.

    Pero es que luego están las cosas que no hay donde encajarlas en un juego ni con el guión en la mano: los likes, el mear, la publicidad grotesca, el bebé estresandose, Sam mirándote directamente...

    Como juego le doy un 3 y le sumo 0,5 por la extrañeza y 0,5 porque hay que tener los huevos muy gordos para haber sacado este proyecto adelante

    The WORST gameplay of any game this decade, no joke. I have seen Indie titles developed in 24 hours that were more fun to play than this, and this alone ruins it all. If you are considering buying it, don't. Watch a playthrough on YouTube instead, it's just a walking simulator anyway.

    Death Strading is an overhiped walking simulator and it shows that Kojima should just stop making open world games. If you didn't like the empty world and the repetitive missions of MGSV than stay away from this game. This is the perfect example of graphics over gameplay.

The game is in love with its self. There's no way to deny it. The core gameplay is boring and when it's not it's frustrating. There are so, so many parameters that you must check. Vigor, Stamina, Blood, Conscience, Shoes deteriorating, BB's humor, energy left in the battery. They don't make the game better, they're just there to bother the hell out of you. You're left alone in an empty world, a la Shadow of the Colossus, but this version of America lacks personality and atmosphere. Combat is bad but still a little enjoyable in the deep **** that is the rest of the game. The story is **** obnoxious. You are told in the first hours things such as "connect us" but you will never see the results of connecting people. The story is just told and never showed, it's a mistake that every single writer knows, even bad ones. Characters are one dimensional and even the great actors hired couldn't do much about them. The graphics are spectacular and Kojima as the director is amazing but those are the only positive things I can say about the game. It's a real shame because I was expecting this for years, since the first trailer. I will not preorder the next Kojima game.… Expand

    Today I was on the phone with a representative from Sony trying to get a refund, all to no avail. He also said, they've had a ton of calls asking for refunds since the game released. This game is a terribly mundane walking simulator. Kojima has lost his way, and he's NOT a true auteur like Hidetaka Miyazaki (Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro director)

    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.
