    So this is basically too much overrated game with no gameplay inside. Just go beeline from point A to B, watch some pointless CG that pretends to be deep, and repeat

    Death Stranding is a big TURD that failed to float. The gameplay and mechanics are atrocious. This game just straight up exhausted me, and didn't coerce me to want to play it at all. The story is boring and mundane. If someone wants to pay $60 to get rowe shambo'd in their nuts, then buy this game. Better yet you can buy my game from me.

    El juego es sumamente aburrido, no representa un reto y menos es rejugable....demasidas cinematicas..(en eso me recordo al THE ORDER 1886)...porque en cuanto a gameplay eso de llevar encargos le da razón a los de los memes ya que parece un simulador para quienes trabajan en apps como rappi o glovo.....muy "A HIDEO KOJIMA GAME" Y todo pero es un fail. Solo a los fans de kojima les va a gustar ...

    This game is not worth the time and money. The gameplay is monotonic, and the story is complicated, tried to make some drama, but it didn’t go well. Also are a lot of documents to read in it, which makes it even more boring. I though maybe there will be good views of land or something like that, but there is nothing but rocks, mountains, snow and rivers.

    If you made the same game on a lower budget, and your name wasn't Kojima, would anyone play it?

Nothing wrong with that, but gameplay clearly takes a backseat to the concept. If there were something that could have been done to make the game more fun, it wouldn't have been done if it interfered with Kojima's artistic vision. That's a problem for me. Maybe some people are into games-as-cinema, but essentially the gameplay is that I'm spending my time balancing a giant backpack for 20 minutes trudging from place to place, often with very little happening. As you get farther in, you get attacked more, and maybe it gets more intense when you reach areas beyond where I've seen. In any case, enjoy the sounds of a screeching baby strapped to your chest when you do encounter some danger. And don't expect a deep combat system.… Expand

I have no doubt that Kojima could have created an epic linear 15-20 hours game but in the end decided to go the open world 80+ hours route padding everything with a main mission that is entirely focused on moving from A to B to deliver packages for 40 hours. To be honest, I don't think he intended this game to bore fans. Why make a game to bore your fans on purpose? But that's what he did in the end.

    The game play mainly consists of the parts of movies you don't get to see, like if The Lord of the Rings films happened in real-time and you had to experience and endure every single step Frodo took, just for the sake of world building, immersion, and realism.

    Underneath the melodramatic, over the top and sometimes downright silly story and frustratingly dull game play there is a decently touching narrative if you have the patience and will to push yourself through, but the eight or so hours of somewhat interesting fiction do not make up for the forty plus hours of arduous gaming.

    We all knew this would be an incredibly polarizing title and in a sense maybe Kojima accomplished exactly what he wanted in making such an ambitious project that will spark more discussion and debate than any video game in the past decade or maybe ever.

    I respect the effort, resources, ambition, and scope of this project. I believe this is a necessary and important game within the confines of the modern video games industry, and I really hope this manages to inspire more creativity, risk-taking and passion from developers.

    It’s pretentious and boring. Hideo Kojima swears he’s some kind of genius all the while making the most boring game that consists of nothing but walking for 40 hours. There is NOTHING engaging about the gameplay and the writing is horrid. I just can’t stomach 20 more hours of this game.

    Porque a galera do Playstation quê empurrar tanto assim esse jogo deplorável e medíocre, que sua única função é andar e escalar montanhas distribuindo caixotes e assistir cenas do jogo. Tô cansado de ouvir: não é pra todo mundo! Sendo que qualquer jogo não é pra todo mundo.

Where it succeeded spectacularly is being the most pretentious and overly ambitious trash in the gaming history.

Many professional critics gave it absurdly high score even when they pointed out the obvious flaws. Only few had a courage to say openly that the emperor has no clothes.… Expand

I love learning how to interact with the little worlds people have conjured up and crafted with love and computer magic. I open with that statement because people were offended when Roger Ebert said that video games aren’t art. Honestly, I’m still not sure if video games are art or not, but Death Stranding is a game that *tries* to be art, but trips, constantly, much like Norman Reedus’s character in Death Stranding. The term “video games” has the term “games” in it; naturally, they’re meant to be fun. Death Stranding is not fun. In trying to be grand, the minute-to-minute gameplay is dry and dull as bleached bones. Death Stranding is annoying for many reasons, but perhaps chiefly is how it does not respect your time.

    Hideo Kojima garnered a lot of praise for his work on the Metal Gear series, as well as a lot of sympathy for his falling out with Konami, publisher of MGS. I remember reading about the drama when it was transpiring and it looks like a large part of the friction between Kojima and Konami was Konami refusing to indulge Hideo Kojima. Kojima refers to himself as “God” in games like MGS:PW; his opinion of himself is annoyingly, terribly, and of course falsely high. Here’s the rub, though: teams and teams of people assembled the Metal Gear Solid games. People who left Konami have made statements like Kojima is “not actually a writer.” Think of it like Matt Groening and The Simpsons: Groening is often attributed to 100% of the success of the show, but he’s only the creator. Many of the actual great episodes were written by scores of people like John Swartzwelder, and teams of people fleshed out and developed the cast of the show. Groening’s direct involvement is thin.

    Death Stranding is boring, terribly so. I’ve seen YT comments describe this game as “Fetch Quest: The Game,” and I’m inclined to agree. Death Stranding layers systems on top of other systems, but the game never becomes fun: it becomes a gigantic list of menus. Micromanagement doesn’t describe it, it’s nano-management (nano being the prefix smaller than micro: if you didn’t know that, huh, taught you something new today.)

    An attempt to mix up the dull grind of making deliveries and navigating endless seas of lists with tiny white boxy font are encounters with “beached things,” or BT’s, as they’re abbreviated. Now, ostensibly, these sound great on paper. Tense stealth sections where you must navigate a safe path between spooky ghosts. Even the name, “beached things,” sounds cool. But after the second time, every encounter with the BT’s becomes a chore. The BT’s aren’t cool or interesting looking; they’re just black shapes hanging in the air, and, if one of them grabs you, you lose a lot of your cargo, are whirled about the map, to lazily outrun a slow-moving tar creature. It. Is. A. Grind.

    Not only that, but the baby crying through the @#$& controller adds to the tedium. Human beings are programmed to react to the sound of a baby crying. It’s part of our survival mechanism: babies crying pierces us worse than any alarm. So, while you’re busy trying to deal with the BS systems that Kojima should have left on the cutting room floor, you also have to endure the sound of a baby shrieking through your controller’s very loud, very gratingly poor speaker. Who thought this was a good idea?

    Much of the plot is not dumb, not stupid, but *ridiculous.* For example, there are factions of men that live out in the wilderness called MULEs who will attack Norman Reedus’s character for an opportunity to steal the cargo Reedus is trying to deliver. Why? Just to deliver themselves for, and get this: the rush of making the delivery. Yes, really. This raises so many questions. If it’s the end of the world and porters are in high demand, wouldn’t it be better for the MULEs to live close to cities, where they’d be venerated like Reedus’s character instead of living alone out in the middle of nowhere? Would you really risk life and limb just to steal a parcel to make a delivery, which was already en route to being delivered? Would you really isolate yourself from the remains of civilization to live the life of an outlaw, but instead of being an outlaw (stealing, killing, forming a roving gang) you stole packages from lone travellers just to deliver the packages yourself? (Do you see now why I describe Kojima as self-indulgent? I don’t know what to make of Konami, but Kojima really comes off as the type that needs a firm hand.)    … 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.
