    Pretty unique, interesting plot, but extremely boring and time consuming. I prefered to watch people play it, for me it was just too slow.

    Lamentablemente este juego no me gusto nada, tampoco lo quiero matar porque el juego se ve bien, pero no cumple en lo absoluto con lo que un videojuego debe cumplir por excelencia: ENTRETENER
    Pocas cosas he jugado algo más aburrido Ni norman reedus lo salva

    O jogo é lindo, mas não tenho saco pra jogar ele não. Dei 6 de dó pelo trabalho que tiveram de fazer os gráficos e a lore, que parece maravilhosa, mas a gameplay é cansativa demais. É mais um trabalho do que um jogo. Eu quero me divertir, não ter que ficar entregando encomenda

    Nice scenery and environment, great soundtrack. but what are we? FedEx? just go for a walk outside and it's like you played the game but in real life. honestly without the environment and music, the game would've flopped big time.

    Didn´t finish it, (played about 10 hours). it wasn´t what I expected it to be. The dialogue and cutscenes are too drawn out, feels like they weren´t edited. The gameplay is good when delivering packages (the part I liked the most), but stealthing around enemies and running from mules is very annoying and kind of out of place (only gameplay wise, story wise they fit).

Wished the game was just about making deliveries and traversing the terrain. It wasn´t bad, just not what I wanted. Certainly not deserving of the 0/10 idiots who didn´t play it are giving it because some youtuber said do and because the game dared to not be about shooting dudes.… Expand

    Учитывая что большинство наград игра получила за звук, картинку и актерскую игру, можно сделать вывод что это скорее КИНЦО чем ИГРА. Кодзима всерьез заставляет нас работать 60 часов курьером за бесплатно, с перерывами на кино.

    A mostly boring and long walk
    Gameplay whise this game sets a new standart for dragging the player for more then 10 hours doing nothing. While the story has some good moments and the songs from low roar are stunning it doesn't make Death Stranding a good game.

    Too long and boring in some aspects to be finished (I didn't), but glad Kojima does this kind of original and completely different games, we need fresher AAA games

    death stranding has amazingly good graphics, the characters using movie actors are really cool, the ost is good, but this game has a story that I don't like at all, the gameplay is so boring that I don't intend to continue. After all, I think this game is still good but I don't like it

    On one hand, the story is great, the characters are interesting, the soundtrack is amazing, and it definitely has that Kojima vibe. But if you expect a lot of combat, you not gonna get much of it here. You're mostly just gonna walk from one big area to another, and that might not be you're idea for fun. Non the less, this game ain't crap.

    Interesting game, I like how different it is. Very beautiful and has a nicely moody soundtrack and unique world. The downside is that around 90% of the characters are white men. Very little diversity. Very few women and those that do exist are pretty one-note (they all seem to be "mother" figures).

    Good game, way overhyped by some. It’s kind of boring but more-ish. It’s weird, it’s hard to put down but yet it really isn’t that interesting. Felt they could’ve used Norman Reedus a bit more vocally than they actually did.

    Overall a solid game. The acting was fantastic, but sometimes the cinematic cut scenes were overly long; whereas, long periods of the game were slow (which some may enjoy). The story however, came to a great ending.

    If I knew coming into the game that the majority of me painstakingly having to balance packages on my back as I travel a diverse world I would have just saved myself the money. World is beautiful and voice acting and cutscenes are good but that’s about it.

    Pros:

    - Great DualSense effects on PS5!
    Cons:
    - Sometimes the game forces you to walk very long distances, later it will get better with vehicles, and other upgrades, but still...
    - I hated the ghost parts, they were scary, true, but unfun
    - The environment is empty overall, sure, there are some settlements, and mules, but they are very rare, and the mules are very rarely part of the main game

    I think this is a well made game, it's just not for me, however, I was hooked by the story, and eventually finished it, but not because of the lackluster gameplay.    … Expand

However, this game became a chore that I felt I needed to "get through".

    My thoughts on gameplay, the first 25% was "interesting but I hope it gets better". The second 25% was "pretty fun but a bit repetitive". The final 50% was "when will this be over so I can move on to another game?". Clunky personnel combat mechanics, especially close quarters. Movement is a constant struggle with obstacles, there is no strafing unless you're aiming a weapon, so to change directions requires a small circle which can unintentionally send you in a random direction (e.g. off a cliff).

    For repeatability, let's just say I finished it and I will never play this game again.    … 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.
