But it also has nice graphics and a good soundtrack. But for what it offers, it's a poorly conceived game. And for this reason that would need that those funds spent on famous actors to be spent on creating better gameplay than this.    … Expand

    The result? A perfectly balanced game as all things should be. *Insert Thanos meme*

    Well, I am one of the lucky few who trully enjoyed this game and would score it a perfect 10 out of 10. But liking a game and reviewing it are two different things. I can clearly see why this game is not everyone's cup of tea. Yeah, story is good. Yeah, it has inovative ideas. It has a good message beneath it all but at the end of the day even I have to admit this game is BORING as hell. Come on, you have to deliver some cargo from A to B, how is that engaging? I wanna shoot some losers, I wanna make things go boom and I wanna create chaos. It's quite easy to see the argument of those who say this is a bad game.

    The gameplay is quite simple. Deliver from A to B. However, as time progresses the game will try to keep you more engaged by progressively inscreasing the difficulty and adding a few more elements to keep things more balanced in terms of learning curve and difficulty. But when everything is said and delivered, you still have the same boring gameplay of walking for hours. And that is for sure boring as fu*k. For 50% of the gamers thats is.

    However its hard to provide an argument in favor of this game. I found no chaos, I found no losers to shoot or bangs to explode. All I can say is that the game knows quite well that it is boring and grindy as hell and doesn't try to hide that. Even the main antagonist says it at some point: "Aren't you tired of all the grind?" So, why?

    Its quite simple, balance. The gameplay is so simple that is easy to design an algorithm around it that will play with you along your delivery. The game knows where you are where you need to go. You will face terrorists that wanna steal your cargo. BTs and rain that will damage your cargo. Tricky terrain that is hard to traverse and all it takes is one dumb mistake and BANG, game over. The game is designed to punish you for not planning ahead. You take your delivery, it is time sensitive. You see a Terrorist camp in the distance, you plan your path to avoid losing time. Only to later find out that there was a river or a huge chasm in your path. But wait, you forgot to take the ladder. You still have options: You can either face the enemy or go back. You decide to go back, game knows it, suddenly it starts to rain, BB gets stressed. Now BTs show up. Decisions: you can face them, or maybe go through the terrorists. Tick tock, clock is ticking. You decide to sneak past the terrorists. The delivery time makes you impatient. You get too close to the terrorists and they ping you. Now they are chasing you. Maybe you are running low on stamina or maybe you didn't bring items to face them. So you run for your goal. They keep chasing you. On your way you stumble on a rock, you lose your balance, you fall down, cargo is damaged. You get up, you keep running. You finally manage to evade them. You take some time to catch your breath. It stops raining. The wather clears up. You see your goal in the distance. A song starts playing on the background. You casually take stroll and finish your order. You get ranked for being dumb, not taking a ladder and in the process damaging your cargo. You connect that "Node" to the network. Now you can see other players structures on your way back and the chasm that started it all no longer poses a threat because someone was not dumb like you and actually brought a ladder. You decide to build a bridge over it in order to help the community and yourself. You carry on with minimum threat risks. One day later you have 1000 likes and you feel appreciated. This is how I can describe one of my MANY adventures that I had delivering some cargo in this walking simulator. Yeah, when all said and done, it can be boring as hell, but every single delivery feels like an adventure. You feel rewarded for playing it smart and planning ahead and you feel punished for doing exactly the opposite. In the end, this is not everyone's cup of tea but you won't know if it is your cup of tea until you taste it.

    Note: I allowed my roomate to play this game. I saw him stumbling on every fu**ing rock on a flat surface. I saw him attempting to climb rocks without the proper gear only to fall down on his back. I saw him sprint through a river only to be swept away by the water. I saw him running past a BT infested area with no regard for the threat that they could pose to his cargo. In the end, he said the game was trash, played it for like an hour and refused to play more. I imagine that the 50% who don't like the game felt the same way he did.    … Expand

There is 2 sides one praising the game the other pointing out the flaws and also some in the middle both sides are completely valid I can say confidently the game is fairly boring its one of those games where its fun to watch but not so fun to play which I felt when watching my father play it then him letting me have a shot for a while. The game play is very slow VERY slow basically its get from A to B without letting go of your controller otherwise sam (the protagonist) is gonna fall over and also sneaking around the BT's. the best part of this game is making sam fall over... ok maybe not so much but thats still fun the actual best part is the the amazing views accompanied by the music me and my dad were waiting for some of that amazing music by low roar and some others I cant remember the problem with the music is that it just doesent play enough in my opinion your walking this long vast open spaces barren of any life except for the MULE's (the bandits of the game) and the BT's which is the last thing you want to see all this without any music there will be some fairly rare moments where you DO get music and when you do it looks and sounds amazing the music perfectly accompanies the amazing views you get but again these moments don't happen enough sure you can listen to them in your private room and at lvl 2 structures but the ones from the private room are ONLY in the private room and the lvl 2 structures only have so much range

    in short the game is unique and is not a game for everyone but when you do pick it up its hard to put it down the game has its flaws but those flaws outweigh the positives or the other way around for other people
    my opinion on the game is fairly balanced and thats why I would recommend this game to a select few. the people who are able to sink hours into a game and not get sick of it and those who dont need action to find a game fun (in a way)    … Expand

Don't get me wrong i see what Kojima is trying to do, the guy has some weird af ideas and i think many fans were expecting like a spiritual successor to MGSV that was even more **** insane.

    Each to their own, the people giving it low scores were probably expecting it to be more action packed and the ones giving it 10 out 10 love Kojima and completely know understand his vision fo his game, thats my best guess. Make good choices my dudes, watch some gameplay on twitch or youtube and know what you are paying for    … Expand

    Soundtrack - Whether its licensed music or music created by the team, it all sets and keeps the player in the tone of the game.

    Graphics/Engine - Kojima productions got everything out of that engine they wanted. Character models, facial expressions, and the world are masterfully rendered. Honestly the best looking game of this generation. Whats even more impressive is the fact that most games made for the ps4 are made with the ps4 pro in mind which, in turn, when played on an OG ps4 the games suffer in performance. Death Stranding is beautiful and runs smooth played on either console.

    Select performances - Some characters in this game fall flat for one reason or another. Cliff, Amelie, Heartman, and late bloomer Die Hardman are absolutely astonishing. Every time these characters appear on screen you care about what they are saying whether you understand whats going on or not.

    Cons:

    Bosses - There are 2 types of bosses in this game. Scripted fights or BT Monster fights that occur if you fail escaping BTs. If you are a fan of MGS and the unique boss fights in those games, they are absent here. All of the bosses are easy, even ones considered hard are so just do to them being a battle of endurance where the boss just has a large amount of health. Taking into account that you don't "die" in this game and these bosses retain the damage you dealt, there is no intensity to these fights.

    Select Performances - Not going to harp on this too much but outside of the previously mentioned characters, everyone else is forgettable. Fragile is one character that is pushed hard from the start and then ultimately becomes just a device for fast traveling between main cities. It also just feels like her whole purpose in the game was to fill that role. This is backed up by the fact that after her dedicated chapter she pretty much disappears until she is required in the final moments of the game. Higgs is also a weird character considering he is treated as the main big bad but after you overcome him you realize his inclusion in the story makes no sense. He mainly just fits a role as setting up the big "Twist" of there was a bigger evil this whole time cliche. Also he leads a "terrorist" group but the only time you see anyone a part of his group is in a cut-scene with fragile to explain some her back story. Even when you reach the area that these terrorists are supposed to reside they are nowhere to be found. Every other character is just.... there. They serve as an Kojima exposition machine.

    Story: The story is what you would expect from a Kojima game. Lots of "double agent" elements and more questions with answers. I'm not really going to spoil any major story elements. The issue for me is the fact that i guessed factors about the end within ten minutes. Kojima loves his cliche's and twists so if you are used to that formula then you aren't going to get any crazy events. Kojima isn't a writer, hes a director. In these scenes the cinematography is top notch, just the story and dialogue for these scenes don't match. The ending doesn't really answer much or even really matter. Honestly the ending felt poorly thought out. The ending you get feels like something that should of been dealt with earlier instead of the end cap to this confusing experience. With the gameplay being padded out to extend the run time, this makes the ending feel cheap compared to the effort you put in to complete the game.

    Game-play - All criticisms are true. The game is a package delivery walking sim. Honestly this could be overlooked. I would like to extend an olive branch between the people who love and those who hate the game-play. This game-play could be interesting and meaningful but the faults of it are that there are just too many ideas they tried to push with the game-play to the point where everything they did comes off as mediocre or half-brained mechanics. For example, you get a bike and the ability to fabricate bikes at the end of chapter 2. Chapter 3 is set in an area that isnt suitable for any vehicles to be practically used, BUT there are structures throughout the area called Auto Paver's that turn the unfavorable terrain into roads with a LARGE amount of materials you have to provide it. By the time you finish with these roads the area is done and you start the next chapter which introduces the one of the only two worthwhile buildables, "Zip-Lines" which remove the need for vehicles. If Kojima productions would've focused on a more concise game-play design I truly feel that this idea would've worked. This is a perfect example of over indulgent game design.

    Pacing - Simply put, this game is too long. If they would've trimmed the gameplay experience down to a more concise loop focused on a few core ideas this game would've worked. Sadly the amount of time doing fetch quests grinds the story to a halt throughout the majority of the game. This could've been a ten hour game and been better for all.

    I will try to be as fair as possible.
    The polish and detail that went into this game alone warrants a few points. No one can argue that the graphics and presentation are bad because they are some of the best graphics and cinematography of this console generation. That cannot be understated.

    However when it comes to the game play, this is what happens when you let Kojima off the leash. I am not a fan of Konami, yet I think they were on to something by keeping him in check. I have played the game non stop since its release and I am waiting for the fun to start and for the cutscenes to end. Game play is king.
    In most open world games, I often enjoy inventory management and careful route planning. However this game is laughably easy, even on the hardest difficulties. The BTs propose almost zero threat, and even when you get caught, the boss fights are a joke. Dont even get me started on the Mules.

    I understand a lot of games offer a "just for the story" type of difficulty mode for reasons, but I cannot personally sit through hours and hours of this monotonous game play that requires very little thinking on my part. Maybe thats just me.
    I will say that the asynchronous multiplayer is actually a very cool idea, but its half baked in its execution. Also I dont see anyone mentioning how its only going to make the game easier? If there is a solid player base constantly maintaining their bridges and what not, it will make the game so much easier for others. I understand that is kind of the point Kojima wants to get across (a game about bringing society together) but it makes this already easy game even more of a pushover.

    I didn't want to hate the game. I gave it a fair shot. I cannot bring myself to finish the game. The writing is sub par and the constant need to over explain things is all over the place. If it werent for Kojima brand and the star studded cast, I could not see this game doing very well.

    However people and fanboys alike look for confirmation bias.

    I leave this game at a 6 because as I mentioned at the beginning of the review, the games graphics and presentation are absolutely top notch. There are also almost zero bugs and the game runs very smooth with only a few frame drops and stutters here and there. But the gameplay leaves a lot to be desired and at the end of the day, gameplay is king.

    Then again, people enjoy Euro Truck Sim and Farming simulator so to each his own I suppose. Take this review, as you should every review with a grain of salt and form your own opinion.

    IMO, this game could have been an absolute masterpiece if they had some actual gameplay. I will be lending my copy to a friend who wants to try but I will watch the rest of the story on YT    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. C'è qualcosa di scomodo con questo gioco e cioè che mette il videogiocatore in una situazione di abbandono misto ad angoscia: l'idea é bella e si vede che ci hanno lavorato bene... Ma l'intera storia che é bellissima si regge su fondamenta un po traballanti poiché vieni abbandonato a te stesso fin da subito... Dopo qualche ora di gioco ti sale l'angoscia perché devi pensare a diverse cose contemporaneamente (ho già un lavoro in cui devo pensare a diverse cose contemporaneamente, perché anche un gioco?).. la pioggia che rovina i carichi é snervante sinceramente... Capisco il voler mantenere una soglia di mistero ma così é quasi troppo... Cioè mi spiego meglio: quando un gioco ti abbandona va anche bene, non é Spyro e va bene... Ma se unisci un horror game (diciamo così seppure soft rientra comunque nei videogame ansiogeni) ad un open world per poi abbandonarmi a me viene l'ansia, voglio dire ho finito Resident evil 7 con il vr che ansia spostati, però con Death Stranding mi sento quasi a disagio... Le meccaniche a tratti macchinose, praticamente vai bene solo a piedi e dopo un po' ti rendi conto che a piedi non ci vuoi più andare perché hai la moto che per altro si guida poco meglio di quella di days gone che praticamente faceva cagare... ma andrebbe anche bene la guidabilità, se non fosse che si incaglia ovunque e se da un lato mi metti un paesaggio dettagliato e pieno dall'altro non puoi farmi venire l'ansia perché la moto non ci passa... Insomma ok "caricarti" di responsabilità perché "non sei un semplice fattorino" ma devo essere sincero, amo kojima e ho amato MGS... Ma Death Stranding devo ancora farmelo piacere del tutto... Non hai armi (parlo di cazzo di proiettili) se non delle improbabili granate che devi lanciare x forza molto vicino al nemico, anche se alcuni nemici non ti vedono e ok... Ma per tutti gli altri che ti lanciano delle lance elettriche tu non hai altro che i tuoi cazzo di pugni e qualche granata di merda (letteralmente) il tutto senza dimenticare che sei con la schiena carica, ti muovi lento e magari quel bambino sta pure piangendo quindi é difficile evitare di farsi sgamare sia dai nemici vivi che da quelli morti... VOGLIO UNA CAZZO DI ARMA, non voleva fare uno shooter? Che poi in ogni caso non lo sarebbe stato, ma almeno dammi qualcosa figa con cui potermi difendere, scappi ti nascondi e consegni dei gran pacchi... Almeno dopo 3 giorni di gioco la situazione é la medesima... Ma con qualche patch potrebbe sicuramente migliorare subito.. vi ricordate no man's sky? Death stranding ha sicuramente un comparto tecnico e artistico molto migliore rispetto a no man's sky, due giochi differenti... Ma il lancio é più o meno simile... non proprio deludente ma mi aspettavo un giocone con i coglioni e invece questo gioco i coglioni te li fa un po' cadere... Bellissimo ma ripeto: gioco a videogame tattici da sempre, mai stato un casual gamer da fifa o NFS, ma se devo pensare ad accendere la console per svagarmi qualche ora rilassandomi Death Stranding mi carica di responsabilità senza darmi armi o modi differenti di affrontare la storia se non cambiare proprio percorso nella speranza che la moto ci possa arrivare... Aggiungo anche che é super scryptato... Non lo so... Non voglio bollarlo perché sono sicuro che qualche patch gustosa potrebbe anche arrivare... Ma se devo svagarmi qualche ora non posso farmi mettere ansia da un gioco, va bene un po'... P.s.: comunque se ci fosse la possibilità di usare qualche proiettile (manco una cazzo di pistola) non avrei tutto questo bisogno di lamentarmi...… Expand

    I can recognize that this game isn't for everyone, but not every game has to be a Last Of Us or God of War to be a great expirence. Yes, Death Stranding is lacking in the gameplay side of things and that cannot be ignored. But I think that the world that Hideo Kojima has created here is one full of intrigue and wonderfully intresting concepts.

    The graphics are amazing. The decima engine has proven it can be used to create an amazing world and landscape, which can be fully explored as long as you have the equipment to do so (ladders, ropes, bridges, etc.) and the fact you can use the structures left by other players is an awesome concept as well

    The story was interesting, even though it took a lot of time to be able to understand it.

    The characters are memorable but that is probably because they have the dumbest names in gaming history.

    The music is great. I added the sound track to my spotify and listen to it on my way to work.

    The only cons are the tedious and repetitive gameplay loop, the crap enemies that only served to annoy me and hinder my progress, and the world, while fully explorable, gives ZERO incentive to explore it.

    I think Kojima has something here. He just needs to create better gameplay around it. It is a beautiful game but it is one I will most likely never return to after beating it.    … Expand

    Can anybody tell me how a 50 + hour game is getting reviews less than 24 hours of its release?
    Cmon guys! this is for the good and the bad reviews here. If you are gonna post your opinion of a game, don't blindly or spitefully do it after only playing a fraction of the experience. Stop this juvenile stupidity and rate games fairly and respectfully.

I have a lot of negative things to say about it, but I still finished the game over the first two weekends after the release and continued playing it a bit afterwards, which that says something. If I had to sum up my review in one sentence, it would be: "Death Stranding excels in immersing you in the experience of a depressed Norman Reedus and his miserable struggle to find meaning in a fundamentally shattered world".

    I thoroughly enjoyed the core of the gameplay: plotting routes, getting foiled by unexpected terrain or attacks, and trying to manage getting to the goal with the all the packages intact. Unfortunately, unless you are doing these things for a reason, they start to get very tedious. Without spoiling things, I caught on to things that my main character did not, and having those concerns go completely unaddressed for hours of gameplay felt rather repetitive, even miserable. Not talking to new characters or even talking to any major characters during chapter 3, when you are intended to entertain yourself with side quests, was a miserable experience that is universally recommended to "get through" as quickly as possible.

    This game touted itself as "reconnecting an isolated society". I feel like it rather fundamentally failed on this point, which is a major reason why I am upset with it. Kojima came in with big claims and failed to deliver. The takeaway is to care for your friends and family, that they're all we have. Not a huge revelation to most of us. The game turns into a modified stealth/action shooter by the end, which is not a departure from gaming conventions, particularly not ones Kojima are familiar with...

    Visually, the game can be quite beautiful, and it's obvious a lot of love and care went into it. However, pacing, as previously mentioned, lacks. The constant product placement distracts from the game. The constant "cameos" of media figures we don't care about or dislike distracts as well (I'm not alone - see the number of people pissing near Conan O'Briens home). It felt like a lot of handshakes happened in order to make this game, and it's not all for the best. There are a few jump scares involving a very important character you are meant to bond with, leading me to avoid interacting with that character whenever possible. It was meant either as a silly easter egg or to show how much Normans character is suffering, but in the end it just makes the players experience suffer.

    For what it's worth, the game nearly made me cry a few times, which is a rare feat, but does not a great game make. A large reason why they managed to do this is the incredible acting and how well it carries over into the game. Characters feel human, at least in cutscenes. Their holographic counterparts often don't feel human.

    I doubt the idea of making the player suffer this badly was a conscious choice. I doubt the production choices were made solely with the players interests in mind.

    Play it if you, like me, have money to waste and think you'd enjoy exploring and delivering in a world where you will have to "embrace the suck". You'll meet some interesting people along the way.    … Expand

    Kojima's desperation to be recognized as the penultimate artist has never been more desperate, and never more apparent, which has resulted in a discombobulated mess of a game that has many high-points, and as many, if not more, low-points. The fanaticism of his worshipers doesn't allow them to view the game objectively, and therefore gives this game a lot more praise than it deserves inKojima's desperation to be recognized as the penultimate artist has never been more desperate, and never more apparent, which has resulted in a discombobulated mess of a game that has many high-points, and as many, if not more, low-points. The fanaticism of his worshipers doesn't allow them to view the game objectively, and therefore gives this game a lot more praise than it deserves in many areas. The pace trudges along asking more than any other game from the average player just to get through the opening hours. It almost blatantly disrespects your time and does so all while constantly preaching it's message of unity and teamwork of a united country, whilst relying upon the work of one man. The plot holes are numerous and the environments are boring, offering little diversity in gameplay throughout the entire experience. At the same time, once you get into the role and start diving into the story, it can sometimes be somewhat enjoyable and rewarding. It just doesn't always make that an easy task. Certain sessions can leave you feeling exhausted by the end, and it's hard to tell if that comes from a sense of accomplishment and conquering adversity, or if the banality of it all is just that mentally taxing to stay immersed within. However, under no circumstances whatsoever is this a perfect game. It's flaws are numerous and the only thing saving it from being trashed into oblivion is Kojima's name. It's also not the absolute worst experience that I've ever had in gaming. I can't wholeheartedly recommend this game to everyone, but if you're looking for an interesting experience and committed to fully diving into a peculiar gameplay style with many repetitive loops and some glaring plot-holes, this might be something worth exploring. If nothing else, I'd highly recommend buying it on a deep sale if you're not 100% certain that it's the game for you. At least then, if you don't like it, you won't feel like you're losing out on that much money in the process.… Expand

    The game starts of quite confusingly but as you go you will find out a lot about the world and characters which I love, it's a slow build and definitely not for everyone but by the end if you can bare with it's gameplay for 40 hours you will feel satisfied (well I did anyway). The graphics as well, I felt mesmerized, I felt like I was watching a movie during the cinematics, these are definitely the best graphics to this day , it should also be experienced in 4K. The acting as well from all the actors are phenomenal especially from Tommie Earl Jenkins towards the end of the game I definitely felt emotions running through me when it got to these sort of moments.

    Now to the negatives and these ones hurt the game and the biggest one is the gameplay aspect of the game. It gets boring very quick, for the first few hours I actually didn't mind doing it and the music felt quite relaxing but I found myself playing this game for a few hours a day then stopping because I was getting bored pretty quick, I would of rather this game be a movie game like until dawn then having these boring gameplay aspects of delivering packages from one side of America to the other side and return. The other negative is that the boss fights of the game are quite bad, some of the bosses don't even attack you, sure the Higgs and Cliff fights are amazing but the BT bosses are quite bad and boring .

    The most divisive game of 2019 is a good game in my opinion just because I was so invested in the story and characters but the gameplay brings this game down quite a bit and found myself wanting this to be a TV show, Movie or movie game. I wished Kojima worked on a horror game or something like PT because the horror elements here are really good and suspenseful. Do i recommend it though? No but if you have the patience then give it a try!    … Expand

However, I would've really liked to just keep my initial balancing 10 out of spite. The review-bombers aren't taking all their unjustified zeros down anytime soon, either. I mean, I'm the first one to admit that this game has its flaws, but ZERO out of ten? That's just nonsense and I think many people are just mad that this isn't MGS VI.

    Pros and cons:
    + Amazing, ambitious cinematic storytelling with an incredible scope
    - ...that can get kind of cheesy, overwrought and cringe-worthy ("Princess Beach") at times and blatantly bashes you over the head with its core theme again and again and again and again...

    + Some of the best motion- and face-capturing performances ever seen in a video game
    -... and some that are straight out of uncanny valley

    + Innovative and unique approach to gameplay
    -... that can be REALLY tedious, annoying and repetitious at times. Yeah yeah yeah, the tedium is part of the overall experience and message of the game, I get it, but nevertheless, I found myself asking myself at one point: Why tf am I doing this to myself? Why am I simulating the tedium and torture of wading through knee-high snow in a white-out where I can't even see where I'm going? Couldn't I be doing something more enjoyable with my spare time? Maybe Kojima intended this, maybe not. But the question remains: Don't we play video games, because, on a very basic level, it's enjoyable to do? Shouldn't a game just be fun to play, and not just a vehicle for a message and a story?

    + An over-arching theme of connection and bringing people together that gets expressed through both story and gameplay and the innovative concept of asymmetric multiplayer where you essentially play a single-player game, but feel the presence of other people going through the same experience and you can help each other out and make the journey a little easier for everybody.

    - Dogsh*t controls, especially for vehicles and climbing. Sometimes Sam just easily and automatically steps over small rocks with no extra input (like it should be), but sometimes he doesn't do it until you press X to climb. Like really? The game could not figure out what I wanted to do in that moment? Same thing when you approach a ladder, you have to press an extra button to climb it. WHY? Releasing a game with climbing mechanics this bad more than two years after BotW came out is just an act of ignorance. All in all, the control-scheme is unnecessarily convoluted and over-complicated. Even skipping cutscenes is made more annoying than it has to be, because they're cut up in little segments and you have to individually skip each one. WHY??? Just to keep the theme of tedium going?

    - Vehicles not only control terribly, but aren't even that useful most of the time, because you're just going to hit a rock every 2 metres unless you're driving on a road.

    + Lots and lots of unlockable items that allow for a more differentiated, sophisticated delivery experience as the game goes on

    + Absolutely insane graphics for PS4

    + A thick sense of atmosphere

    + Spectacular boss fights
    -...that, unfortunately, like the rest of the game, never present any real challenge.

    + Beautiful environments in a big open world
    -... that doesn't really look much like the USA at all. No wonder, when the crew did their location scouting in Iceland? Wtf?
    -... and that doesn't really encourage exploration and basically only serves as an obstacle for your delivieries

    All in all, although it can be incredibly tedious and annoying at times and it has a lot of padding and a lot of problems on a very basic mechanical level, I'm glad Death Stranding exists. It's certainly a fresh and unique gaming experience and its theme of connection and bringing people together seems very relevant in this day and age. Ironically, gamers couldn't be more divided in their opinions about the game. ;)

    Is it the masterpiece that so many expected and rave about? Well, in some aspects, like cinematics, scope, uniqueness, and theming, yeah. In others, like controls and gameplay variety, definitely not. It's incredibly hard to find a rating here and I've never been so torn about how I really feel about a game, which is an achievement all in itself, I guess. DS is a game with a message, but I think that message could've still been brought across with sounder underlying gameplay mechanics.

    Let's put it like this: If you like Kojima's brand of bat-sh*t insane story-telling, are open to a new and unique gaming experience in the form of a "social delivery simulator", like inventory and resource management, and are willing to go through quite a lot more tedium than is normally expected from a video game, give Death Stranding a try. If you were expecting MGS VI, only like action games, don't appreciate lengthy cinematic story-telling in a video game and/or are very impatient, this is DEFINITELY not for you.    … Expand

    The graphics of the game are good, hardly a bug is found, the soundtrack is good, remember the songs from Radiohead

    The story
    it's confusing, hard to understand but more acceptable
    There are coherence problems, at the beginning of the game there was a deer in the cave and later he was dead because of the aging rain
    it was the only deer I found in the game, and practically the only one in america LOL, there were no animals in the game, some birds and butterflies plus no carcasses of deer or birds or people, something a bit impossible to happen in the game world
    The ghosts don't scare them they disturb, they never put fear
    The bosses I faced, played halfway through the game, I found the bosses weak and very mechanical

    and yes the gameplay is monotone, it gave me sleep several times, but at the same time it's interesting

    deserves goty?
    no, it doesn't deserve it, the game's proposal is interesting, but it was poorly executed, this game could be less and with less deliveries, if it was more linear I think it would tire people less, because playing it is a sacrifice, playing this game is how to work without receiving money so

    I will not give 0, but I will not give 10, I will give 5,

    I thought is will be another 10/10 game, but unfortunately is not. the cinematic and story is good, but :
    - the game play is boring, really boring.
    - All the boss are the same, the terrorist are the same and 80 percent of the game you just carrying from place A to B.
    - I think kojima tried to add some idea from MainCroft to the game!!! which not everyone like it.
    - AI of enemy is too bad.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has balls. As someone who grew up never playing Metal Gear this is my first Kojima game and overall a good gaming experience.

    The Pro's:

    The game loop is addicting. If you like world building games or open world adventure games this might be for you. After spending 100 plus hours getting platinum the gameplay is what keep me going. The game is polished right out of the case. A rare case in today's triple AAA market.

    The Cons:

    The story is bad, just bad. It's too on the nose for me. The characters writing is not good. Fragile is one of the worst written characters i've come across. You could have cut Higgs right out of the game and still have came to the same ending. He is one of the better written character too.

    Despite the meaning, the Amelie story thread was not what I wanted. I felt the that connecting the UCA was secondary for Sam as he was chasing after Amelie. So yes I was looking for your 'classic chase story' in which Sam chases after his sister to connect.

    Overall:

    A good and unique gaming experience in today's bland gaming space. I will never play the Metal Gear Series but look forward to his next project. Would recommend to all as a gaming experience and to some as a game. The highs are high and the lows are low; 7 out of 10 is about right for this game.    … Expand

    It was beautiful, and I didn't encounter any notable glitches. My problem with it is it's a game built around what I feel are the worst of game mechanics. Over encumbrance, gear degradation, stamina management and fetch quests. There might be an interesting story there, but wading through hours of tedious game play drained all of the fun for me.

Second, I wanted to see some combat, guns, weaponry at the beginning of the game to give it a ''punch''.

    The graphics are probably the best you can find in a Playstation right now.
    The playability is quite good, I must say, but some times, especially when you get into rough terrain, it can be a little frustrating.

    Games are suppose to be experiences that get you out of your world and get you somewhere, making you lose perception of time. And this game is a new experience, and it will get you to lose track of time.
    But not all ways. Sometimes it comes to a point that you just walked for so long, doing the same things, over and over, that it gets boring. So boring that in fact, you'll pop out the cd and will continue to play that game that you never finished because you didn't have the patience to..

    There's an absolutely groundbreaking 10/10 game inside here .....sadly I found the final product suffers from repetitive mission design and in some of the more protracted sections an over indulgence of multiple long cutscenes of kojima-exposition about chiral BT BB blah blah....(especially towards the end) at its worst, death stranding made me feel as though my time was being wasted! Overall the gameplay loop of package delivery and the barren icelandic style alien setting I found to be very addictive and couldn't wait to get back in to play more. The equipment degredation/fabrication loop became an interesting part of the gameplay to me over time. The characters look INCREDIBLE as if a taste of next gen games in 2019. Through my 50 hour run time, I lament the time I spent inside the menu system the and it is this part of the gameplay design which feels ridiculous and in combination with the many repeated small cutscenes (going into private room/shower/connecting site to chiral network etc) reminded me of MGSV in that it really just eats your real world time.... you can skip these but to even have to do this feels in 2019 feels unnecessarily archaic compared to its open world genre peers. My hope is that there is a sequel/prequel that can improve on these areas as Kojima Productions has clearly got a fantastic team in making this content and if they could just take a leaf out of the other contemporary studios making these types of games I am certain they could achieve that 10/10 goodness that I know is possible.

Разработчики из Германии - делая свои игры про профессии, должны брать пример с Кодзимы, вот, как надо делать игру про профессию! У игры очень классный концепт и идея, даже банальная рутина в этой игре не наскучивает часами, т.е. ходить по местности как ни странно интересно. Но сам концепт слишком мал для такой огромной игры, словно Кодзима хотел быть инди-разработчиком и инди-игру расширил до масштабов ААА проекта и это плохо! В какой-то степени это очень медитативная игра. В ней классная графика, прямо реально новый уровень исполнения, анимации разнообразные и прикольные, но сама по себе анимация всё же дубовая, не чувствуются такой же свободы, как в той же The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. А транспорт в игре просто ужасен, как с точки зрения концепта, так и по физике своей, при желании можно ехать по камням по которым казалось бы невозможно ехать, вы будете кувыркаться скакать, но проедите например на мотоцикле на заднем колесе. О чём думал художник рисуя колёса транспорта без протектора и это в мире, где есть только труднопроходимая местность? Этот транспорт больше подходит для трасс для "Формулы-1" именно там нужны гладкие колеса. Второй логичный вопрос, почему арочные мосты через реки гладкие и глянцевые? Там идёт дождь, мокро, колеса лысые, а вы нагруженные под 150 кг - едите по мосту, который блестит как зеркало это просто бредовый концепт. Наверное они не сразу понимали что за игру вообще делают, быть может эта техника вообще предназначалась для другой игры? На счет темпорального дождя, с одной стороны он всё старит, но на самом деле не всё. Некоторые виды травы выглядят так, что будто в это местности нет дождя никогда, в некоторых местностях растут деревья, на которые не действует дождь, т.е. трава будет расти и увядать, а дереву хоть бы хны. Налицо дизайнерский просчет по концепту, опять же и это рушит атмосферу. В игре обалденная музыка и саундтрек, так же звуки. В игре есть продакт-плейсмент, я не могу смириться с тем, что покупая игру за немалые деньги, я вынужден терпеть рекламу напитка из реального мира это не пасхалка в игре это именно реклама, которую тебе прямо в лицо суют за твои же деньги.

    Плюсы:
    + красивая графика и дизайн мира.
    + красивый саундтрек и звук.
    + заманчивый сай-фай сюжет
    + классные актеры
    + присутутсвуюют хоррор моменты

    Минусы:
    - смешная физика транспорта
    - дурацкий дизайн транспорта (колёса)
    - спорная система лайков
    - плохой и примитивный стелс после MGSV
    - слишком мало экшена

If you're not starved for something different and/or have a lot of free time (I clocked in at 53 hours), don't bother.

The last half of chapters were better with some good cutscenes and less grindy missions. The last few episodes for me were very intriguing but It doesnt fully make up for the dread of the midgame.

    Boss Fights: A huge mixed bag here for me. The ones where they went back in time were a much needed gameplay change. The BT's were neat in a way but still just didn't seem like a significant threat. And as for the main Antagonist, They might as well not even bothered.. He was a joke I think.

    Also, there were some cool kojima moments at the end of the game that I wish kind of happened more, especially with bosses like in the old days    … Expand

    Wonderful movie Semi-finished game
    Put the WWII DEMO for the test engine into the game
    Add 4 creeps as a level
    No balanced mountain climbing system
    Late props make early props meaningless
    Useless sandals
    Temperature doesn't make sense
    Sleigh can't jump
    BT has no value
    Is an invisible trap
    And very weak boss

    Pela história merece uma nota 9-10, agora pela gameplay realmente não acho que passe de 3-4, por isso acho q a nota do jogo em si não deveria passar de um 6, não sei se é culpa de muitos fan boys do kojima, mas realmente não entendo essas notas altas para este jogo dos jornalistas...

    People play video games to experience what they cannot do that they want to do in real life. This game force you to experience what people do not want to do in real life (boring and repetitive running around with a package). Kojima sensei really need to retire. Graphic is good. But that's all there is. Story feels very artificial.

    Lovely game but not for everyone. You can easily get over 150 hours of gameplay.

    This is a title that stands out. It's not like any other game I have ever played before. I think that is Death Strandings strength and weakness. The world is well imagined and beautiful to look at and be in, although it can be quite dreary and depressing. The Music is incredible and introduced me to some new artists. The gameplay is... okay.... but the cutscenes and story are incredible. IThis is a title that stands out. It's not like any other game I have ever played before.

I didn't find myself liking sam, but all of the other characters are well imagined and incredibly well-acted. The cameos were funny too. All and all, it gets a 6 from me but I can see how people would love or hate this. I'm somewhere in the middle. I'm so happy HK was able to make the game he wanted to make.… Expand

    This game is relaxing, scary, weird, and intriguing. Sometimes the dialogue is too on the nose, but you can find enjoyment in that fact if you're into that kind of stuff. I find playing this game can put you into a zen state if you let it, akin to Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon. Every piece of this game is very highly produced and the acting is top notch. Overall I kind of love this game.

    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.
