    Curious game that offers us a legend of the video game world as Hideo Kojima. In this case it is what we could consider an open world sandbox, with a science fiction story and light touches of the horror genre, with the usual characteristics to which we are used to its author.

    The mechanics of the game are novel and at a certain point very original, however it can become repetitive and tedious. Its development is excessively long, it took me more than 80 hours to complete it and I had to leave aside secondary tasks for repetitive ones.

    The best thing is perhaps its graphic aspect, a real beauty of game. It is also fair to mention in its strengths its innovative online game system. In which the reconstruction of the world is carried out by means of the collaboration of the players, each one contributing resources to equip the devastated world of the game, new roads and constructions that we can use in our long trips to deliver our orders.    … Expand

    Death Stranding has a very ambitious story to tell but it fails with it's gameplay mechanics and fights. The story is not simple and revolves a lot on fantasy. It's good and they put real actors in it. The delivery of the story is amazing. At the base however, this is a lot a walking simulator. You get vehicles at some points, most of them are slow enough that the BT can attack you.

You get vehicles at some points, most of them are slow enough that the BT can attack you. Making deliveries gets very old, very fast. The gun/grenade fighting works with human targets, but the BTs it generates horrible fighting. The system is so slow and unprecise that the BT have a net advantage. On top of that, they attack from behind, something your character can't handle well since it takes forever to move or turn around. The music is quite good, especially like Low Roar music. I like the fact that you can share other players structures. The reward system is fun too. I give it 68%. The ending is blocked with a series of BT fights, and factually kill the game before the end. Great story but with bad enemy design and choices.… Expand

    A typical Kojima story. You don't know what's going on, you don't know what's real and what's not.

Kojima combines supernatural with normal as he always does to make an escape door for plot holes. He uses two realms to make a possibility for a character to appear in the same realm twice or something. And at the end he will reveal to you every metaphor and allegory he achieved by combining several languages and cultures and nonsense (so it would fit the story) like it is some big bren thinking. And there you are, speechless, clueless and amazed by Death Stranding's brilliance. Kojima-san = genius. 10/10.
    No, not really.
    The story tries to take itself seriously while at the same time breaks the seriousness with wtf moments (licks), references (good ol' fashioned boss fight), cringe (princess Beach) and the "connect all America" silly propaganda. Though the characters are quite likeable, the cutscenes are often too long and boring.
    But the real problem is that the gameplay has very little to do with the story. They are almost two separate things. I feel like they both work on their own and don't need each other.
    The gameplay is plain. Get some crates from point A to point B. Have an inconsequential small talk with a recipient. The protagonist doesn't even answer them. Probably Kojima productions couldn't afford Norman Reedus to record those lines. Hammer x through these conversations.
    The controls are pain in the ass. The on foot movement is let's say ok but vehicles, both close and gun combat, menuing - real bad. Not to mention the bad input layout. Even though traversing is stiff you can climb almost every steep and rock, no need to use ladders. The open world doesn't appeal to me. I find it dull. Perhaps more trees, less rocks?
    The "paramultiplayer" is kind of interesting but meaningless for the game. On the other hand you won't find a game like Death Stranding so at least it's somewhat original, I guess. I would be very surprised if it would get a sequel or a spiritual successor though.
    I'm glad Kojima didn't forget to write his name it like 20 times in the credits. Kojima, Kojima, Kojima.¨

It does start falling apart towards the later parts of the story and it really feels pointless after the credits roll, but during the first 20-25 hours of Death Stranding there is a lot of enjoyment to be had while playing. Visually it is also absolutely amazing, although the world can start getting a bit boring after 30-ish hours.

    While the story starts off very well and you become very immersed into the world's lore, it becomes quite stale after about 20 hours or so and Kojima ruins it all with his mandatory government conspiracy plot twist. It is pretty sad to see great actors trying to do the best with a truly horrendous script. There isn't a molecule of subtlety in any sentence of dialogue anywhere. It's all just a mess of terrible exposition and painfully preachy statements that repeat over and over and over.

    The last 3 hours of the game feel like punishment for every moment of fun you had in the prior 25 or so hours. If Death Stranding had ended on a high note I probably would have been able to look past all of its weaknesses but instead it just keeps dragging on and on after which it finishes with a whimper. For that I can't give it more than a 7/10.    … Expand

    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.

    Начну с неприятного лично для меня.
    Я честно не понимаю, кто Кодзиму называет "гением", я думаю это то же самое, что называть Дрона Попова "богом Кузей", на мой взгляд, он не создал ни одной, прям, гениальной игры. И сейчас, у меня, на протяжении всего прохождения, было стойкое ощущение, что геймплейно я прохожу MGS 5. И вообще называть человека гением при жизни, не стоит, зазнается. Я думаю именно это мы и наблюдаем в данной игре.
    Крутая завязка, 30 часов тупых заданий типа "сходи, принеси, убей", с беготней туда обратно, несколько крутых вставок с ничего не объясняющим сюжетом и фееричная концовка на 1,5 часа в которой и рассказывается для чего мы все это делали! Ну ребят, гениальные игры не делают растягиванием игрового времени, а тем более по шаблонам. Ужасно однообразный геймплей!!! Но если считать Кодзиму гением. Какие претензии к гению, сожрем и так!
    Забегу вперёд. Боссы тоже странные, они очень красивые, но, за исключением Хикса ну и Унгера, убиваются тупым закидыванием гранатами. Странно.
    Теперь о хорошем. Оно в игре есть и не мало.
    Начнем с сюжета, мне он понравился, жаль, что подаётся он очень странно.
    Далее герои. Они ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНЫ! Каждый со своей тайной, великолепно прописаны (если бы так было в Horizon Zero Dawn, стала бы игрой десятилетия;)), а так же анимация!!! Ё моё "Bethesda" когда же ты научишься в своих играх такую же делать?
    Продолжаю, музыка, да японцы умеют её делать для игр.
    Ёлки палки игра очень красива, природа прорисована великолепно. Первые часы просто ходишь и смотришь по сторонам и та самая музыка добавляет кайфа!
    Ну и всех бьёт АТМОСФЕРА! Именно она заставила меня не забросить игру на 3м уровне. И вот эти пять факторов вытягивают всю игру.
    Как жаль, что этот красивый, проработанный мир как гондон натянут на глобус бестолковых однообразных заданий. Повторяю ещё раз растягивание прохождения это не гениальность!
    Резюмирую:). Игра явно не тянет на гениальность, но и плохой назвать её нельзя. Если бы Кодзима сместил баланс либо в сторону сюжета, убрав лишнее хождение. Либо наполнил это хождение бОльшим смыслом, экшеном, движухой не знаю. Могла бы получиться игра уровня The Last of Us +-. А то движуха начинается только к 10 эпизоду. Это игра, как говорится в хорошем смысле, на одно прохождение. Прошел, оставил в памяти великолепный мир, а второй раз в игре делать нечего! Разве это похоже на гениальность? Такие игры как The Last of Us или BioShock я лично прошел несколько раз, хотя они линейны, в них хочется вернуться. В Death Stranding нет. Эта игра сугубо нишевая.
    И еще убедительная просьба ПРОЙДИТЕ ИГРУ ДО КОНЦА и не только до титров, но и после них, прежде чем ставить 0 или 1, ПРОЙДИТЕ!    … Expand

    Death Stranding has some strong points (masterful sound and beautiful scenery) but falls off from being a must play/experience. It is either a blind love for Hideo Kojima's work or a hidden gem of its time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was a Platinum trophy pursuit for me. What it hopefully means is I should be able to offer a thorough impression of my experiences with the game.

    I read a number of user reviews saying the game is one thing, which is basically walk > deliver > walk > deliver. And honestly, the game 'is' that. You've probably seen video clips of gameplay. It's just what it is. But only 'just' that for the first couple of episodes anyway. It's a bit of a disservice because this game opens up the more you play with the addition of motorcycles, trucks, structure builds, floater carriers, shelters, and zip lines.

    All these things mean you rarely have to simply 'walk' unless the mission asks that of you, or you're in the snow and setting up your zip line network, etc. But yeah, the basic premise of the game is the same the whole way along: deliveries.

    For me, the part of the game worth celebrating was the 'social' part. Coming to rely on others for their bridges, ladders, generators, shelters early on. Your own structure builds and contributions then help others, that again help you back further by letting you form better 'strand' links with the best 'liked' players out there. It's a very cool connected concept. Kojima should be commended for at least attempting something so different.

    Is it fun? This is the thing, the game ultimately isn't exactly 'fun' in my experience. A bit frustrating? Addictive? Yes and yes. And there are a lot of deliveries, I mean A LOT if you're planning on going for that 100% trophy.

    It's a flawed game in a few ways.. some small things, some bigger things. I think the game will suit a certain player. Are you into being a completionist? You are ok with repetition? A grind is something you're waiting for? Looking for an eccentric Kojima story? If this is what you've been missing then the game is for you. Unfortunately the story is often incomprehensible.

    Cut scenes. There are a few that repeat some animations which you have to manually skip through.
    How they expect anyone to find it fun to skip cut scenes that you shouldn't have to is beyond me (e.g. Monster drink consumption in your shelter).

    It's fair to say the pace, especially early on is questionable. You may spend a crazy amount of your time on episode 3 alone, and, if you make it past that, you'll have some cool different elements to enjoy. But I believe many won't want to. And this is a problem.

    If fun isn't your operative concern when going into this game but instead a more surreal and addicting experience, then this is your thing. But owing to how divisive this game is likely to be, I can only be honest. On balance this is a 5/10. It's very courageous, but it doesn't quite all work for me.    … Expand

    O jogo é sensacional, ótimo para quem curte uma história emocionante, a gameplay por vezes um pouco cansativa exige uma interpretação diferente para ser apreciada, focando não no objetivo final da entrega, mas sim no percurso até a entrega, que exige inteligência e habilidade para ser superado, recompensando o jogador com paisagens de cair o queixo.

    Boring story and characters, foe which I had high hopes to bw the best in the game, only gameplay was more boring :) Boss fights were really good, especially with The Stranger. Plus for graphics also, nevertheless not worth spending 40-40 Hours

    I liked i, especially at the discount price. Story was awesome, but overworked, to many cut scenes too much explanation, too many characters. The twist in the end was great, but we could have got there quicker without all the other dressing.

I think there is some content and good story telling in there but gees do you have to slog through terrible gameplay to get there! The gameplay improves massively once you have better gear and vehicles and as you get better at navigating and avoiding the particularly irritating geometry issues. Overall I look back on the game quite positively, its probably much cheaper now than at launch so not a bad time to pick it up.

    old review:

    The gameplay is just tedious, so tedious and uninspired that it really lets down a stunningly beautiful game with a fantastic soundtrack. I really wish I hadn't bought this game at launch. Probably the purchase I regret most out of any PS4 game I have purchased. It is not worth more than £10 - if you're lucky enough to be reading this ( and haven't bought it yet) then just wait until the game is in the bargain bin and you might actually feel quite a bit more positive about it.    … Expand

    The single biggest issue with this game just like Metal Gear Solid V is its length. I felt like MGS V stretched for too long ending up making me bored. The main appeal of "walking simulators" is that they deliver beautiful and unique SHORT experiences so that the player doesn't get fed up and gives up. it's a shame, because Death Stranding universe, plot, characters, and overall lore are brilliant. However, I can't deny that a lot of times its side and main-quests feel repetitive. I have no issue with "walking simulators" and I love works such as Journey and What Remains of Edith Finch but Death Stranding is too long for its own good.

    Make no mistake, the game is a visual trip and sometimes it is quite innovative and incredibly detailed but its major misstep is how repetitive it can get.

    Would I recommend this game still? Yes, it's definitely not a must-play and I'd even recommend you to stay away from it if you can't stand even short "walking simulators". But if you're looking for a unique and bizarre post-apocalyptic sci-fi/dark fantasy story you should give this a try if you believe you can endure its repetitive nature. There's also a plus if you enjoy interacting and helping other players, building and using other players' structures is really cool.    … Expand

I managed to end the game and the ending is not even bad, but it's not enough for me to give more than a 5.

While the story is, Kojima-standard, wild, all over the place and steeped in technobable, it is a slower, uncanny narrative.

    The gameplay is surprisingly varied. Having to maintain balance up and down hills and mountains, even over rocks, makes up a lot of the game play. Once you get access to vehicles, more weapons and tools, the game play really opens up. There is 3rd person shooting here, though you can get assault rifles, shotguns, and such(not to mention their necessary non-lethel versions) it sometimes is easier just bringing a bologun. You are restricted by what you carry, how heavy it is and how big it physically is. So bringing an assault rifle, extra ammo and blood grenades, any possibly tools or gear you need, can stack up on you fast. There is also a invisible multiplayer, objects such as ladders, bridges, climbing rope, etc can appear in your world placed by other players in their world. Vice versa, you may put a ladder in a heavily travelled area and get a lot of use from other players whose game it appeared in.

    Like i said, i find it hard to recommend, youre either interested in this game and its odd systems and its very kojima story, and probably will get it regardless of what anyone says. Or youve decided its not for you, looks boring and werent really on the fence about it.    … Expand

    Что же касается истории, вместо неё здесь - типичная японская дичь, жутко претенциозная, пронизанная глобальными идеями и гигантоманией. То тут, то там проскальзывают забавные шуточки (персонажи ставят друг другу лайки, битва с одним из финальных босов оформлена в стиле Mortal Kombat), и будь их побольше, проект можно было бы назвать абсурдистским и все ему простить. Однако ближе к концу пафос достигает таких высот, что начинаешь сомневаться, были ли все предыдущие проблески иронии умышленными.
    ***
    Главный недостаток Кодзимы (давно всем известный) - он не знает меры. За самым крупным и вроде бы финальным боссом идёт ещё один. А потом ещё, и ещё, и ещё. Не считая истинного финала, я насчитал пять "концовок", после каждой из которых игра вполне могла бы закончиться. Да что уж там: даже после титров она продолжалась ещё два часа. В какой-то момент вместо ожидаемого катарсиса приходит раздражение, а затем и ненависть к разработчикам и конкретно к Кодзиме (ведь его имя маячит на экране гораздо чаще остальных). Вместо того чтобы постепенно вводить нас в курс дела, все свои мысли о жизни и смерти (скорее "псевдо", чем "философские") он вываливает на нас в самом конце разом в виде бесконечных заставок. А если учитывать, что приличное число демонстрируюемых на экране образов страшно банальны (солдаты-скелеты, поломанные и обугленные пластиковые пупсы, паутина из колючей проволоки, выбросившиеся на берег киты), а озвучиваемые персонажами истины ужасно наивны, под конец становится совсем грустно. Где-то в сети наткнулся на характеристику "угрюмый шедевр". Метко, но "шедевр" явно стоит дополнительно заковычить.    … Expand

First of all, there's no other game like it anywhere, so A+ for originality and some of the more advanced delivery techniques. That whole system is pretty well-designed.

    Where do you even start? The story is a mixed bag. It's the standard Kojima story. It's super weird and not straight-forward. This game suffers from a similar problem as other games with a massive amount of side quests and optional tasks (Assassin's Creed, Ghost of Tsushima, for example). That problem being that you spend 90% of your game experience doing side quests and trying to discover everything so you very slowly progress through main story points. As a result, the overall flow of the story is just a mess and you end up forgetting what the last plot detail was since it was 5 or 6 hours of game time before you get to the next one. Can you just plow through and avoid all the side stuff until the post-game? Sure, but that's not how most people go through it I suspect.

    The controls are fairly good. A lot of effort went into trying to make the physics as realistic as possible. Except shoe wear. Seriously, you can 3D print an underground shelter in 30 seconds, but you can't make a pair of boots that lasts for more than 30 minutes of walking? Combat is obviously very limited and the camera can be a bit clunky, but it's no worse than anything else. You can just tell a lot of thought went into inventory management and strategy, so that's really executed well. BT encounters are particularly intense, but after half the game, I found it easier to just run through them and if I got caught, just run until I was outside the little battle area and the Timefall would be gone temporarily.

    What's not so great? It's just sort of - boring. Everything is pretty much the same. Yes, the environments change, but the preppers and locations all seem alike. It's always the exact same tasks (Deliver Items from Point A to Point B). Once you get through the game and start grinding for trophies, get ready for a boring and frustrating grind. You essentially have to rebuild all or most of the roads as well as expertly design region-wide networks of zip lines. The catch is that the bandwidth to build zip lines is limited (use online ones to help) and to get the premium deliveries, you have to play in hard mode - meaning your structures will deteriorate quickly. The roads will enable you to safely load massive weight deliveries onto a truck and drive them long distances to get the maximum rewards. Otherwise you'll do what seems like dozens and dozens of smaller deliveries to try to max out the connection with each location.

    Here's the problem, though: It's just not really fun. It's repetitive and boring. All that time and effort went into crafting this really amazing system, the physics, the strategy, the customization, but then the actual game play suffered. If that even makes sense. So yes, I wasted at least 100 hours on this game, but I certainly didn't particularly enjoy doing it. Final verdict: Not terrible, but not good either.    … Expand

    Excellent game, very captivating, sure it took awhile to get accustomed to the world's mechanics and lore, sometimes felt tedious and difficult but overall it is a masterpiece that will linger and make us explore further the concepts of the game.

    A trap for perfectionists, but not really satisfying. A system of “likes” that are meaningless. And frankly, even with the nice story, it’s quite boring, as it is composed of fetch quests only. Wouldn’t play it again.

    Good

    - the game has very realistic aspects in regards to movement and overall human capabilities. Sam feels very vulnerable, which forces me to manage movements and physical exertions.

    - it's cool how you can use other people's equipment online to navigate the terrain.

    - the stealth BT sections are very tense. Something to do with the cry of a baby which makes the tense environment even more tense. I guess it's the traditional belief that even I carry that babies can detect supernatural entities.

    - using sam's **** as grenades is kind of funny.

    - short cutscenes of BB keeps the mystery up.

    - The twist at the end of the game was very cool. It was all very confusing rights before the end, and I was on the verge of giving up on the confusing story. But during the last cutscenes, everything was made clear, all the questions were answered. And the twist was pretty crazy.

    Bad

    - the gameplay has too much walking. There needs to be a bit more action. More offensive stealth.

    - can't explore the cities or facilities.

    - the game focuses too heavily on defensive gameplay which isn't exactly up my alley. But I guess it's expected of a game made by Kojima.

    - the feeling of repetition sets in quickly. Just taking an order, delivering it, looking at a hologram talk to you, take the next order, rinse and repeat. It's also very weird how Sam doesn't say a single word when the hologram is talking.

    - the stealth sections are tense, but they also get repetitive since there are mostly only two types, against BTs and mules.

    - there's apparently like 50,000 people in one of these knot cities, but I never see a single soul anywhere around these facilities. Neither am I allowed to see them inside the facilities. I just wish there was some way I could explore the lives of these people while holed up in there. I think it would have been interesting had they included that in the game.

    - the environment gets repetitive too. I traverse the same Rocky paths, grassy paths, muddy paths. They all look and feel the same wherever I Go. Sure they have their own unique properties, but it's literally these three types of terrains repeating over and over again throughout the world.

    - the BTs eventually just weren't scary anymore. Rather annoying. Most of the time I just wanted to get to my destination just so I can progress the story which was the only thing I cared about. So I just avoided them as much as I could, craft a bunch of grenades and just kill them and get on with the route, or even just build a timefall shelter and skip the rain completely. I really didn't want to be crawling around the entire map slowly just to get to my next destination.

    - that part where I was supposed to take that girl with the hourglass to her boyfriend didn't feel very emotional even though I think the game tried to make it look emotional, because I don't know either of these characters. There was no character buildup of any kind prior to the mission. That cutscene and the crying and the voice acting seemed very sad but I felt nothing.

    - the higgs boss fight felt extremely clumsy to play. Camera angle went crazy and I just kept getting interrupted. Fighting him in person was also really annoying, because using the strand didn't always work period and I tried canceling out his detector, but it never worked no matter what timing I tried. And the hand-to-hand combat had sad music but I felt no emotion, because I just wanted it to end.

    - the whole buildup with fragile and Higgs, and the hate that fragile had for him didn't amount too much. When she finally got his hand on him, she didn't really do anything besides punch him once in the face then execute him with the gun. The way she explained how she felt about him, I really thought she would give him a treacherous painful end. Maybe have him die in the time fall. But just a bullets the head completely negated everything she's said before. And her comeback about "damaged goods" was super lame, and super weak.

    - the baby crying during fights or like a big fall becomes annoying. On top of that, I'm really not a kid's person. I can't stand taking care of a kid. So all the crying eventually just got on my nerves.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tedious and bombastic.
    A blockbuster with an overly complex plot and frustrating, slow and boring playable parts.
    I understand that Kojima wants to tell stories through videogames, but there are more successful ways than this, like for example, what he did in the first Metal Gear (the one on PSX, don't get too fine with the one on MSX).
    I found Death Stranding interesting at first, but it quickly became clunky and repetitive. Even confrontations are tedious.
    It is not a difficult game, it is a heavy game.
    I have just finished it and its end has seemed regrettable to me. Too long to tell something bland, in which I have not found a trace of the much vaunted emotionality that the game has been wanted to give. A wildly slow ending, with playable parts between intermittent closing credits and tons of bombastic and absurd verbiage.
    I feel sorry for the actors who had to read the dialogues, really.
    Please, gentlemen: make games that will be GAMES (by definition: fun). If you want to tell stories with tons of straw, do yourself a favor (and by the way, they do it to us) and write a book or dedicate yourself to a non-interactive audiovisual medium.
    Much homo ludens and very little empathy with the player, who has to swallow (again and as it has not happened since MGS4) hours and hours of pseudo-scientific and pseudo-philosophical speech.    … Expand

    This game is beautiful.

    It's obvious to anyone that Death Stranding is unique. The environments are fcking insane. The music is immersive and I find myself just staring in awe at this fcking beauty of a game.

    Beside that though... It's just boring. I cannot find it in me to enjoy the Deliveroo simulator style of gameplay no matter how many hours I devote to it. It just isn't for me.

    Game confuses me! So long. Screen vllage look ok not good of movie screen village. Game fight with friends. Good fight. Norman Radeus save America! Everybody want America but Norman Raydeus stops them! Good story. Builds roads. Climbs mountain trees to top look down! Spooky dancing ghosts too much! Kurt Cobain ghost game but Norman Raydeus here ok. Scary like Walking Dead zombies.

    Плавно перейдем к геймлпею, я не скажу что он плохой, но и не скажу что крутой, советую играть на максимальной сложности, что бы был хотя бы малейший челендж и вы могли хотя бы как то испытать фишки игры, кстати говоря сложность в игре мало что меняет, но разница маленькая, но есть.
    В целом с учетом того, что игра вышла на пк больше игроков смогли испытать ее, но я играл на пс4, и в целом что бы разложиться на диване и поиграть в неспешную игру с добротным сюжетом она хороша    … Expand

    Es un buen juego, un poco largo y difícil de entender pero una vez que comienzas a jugarlo es muy difícil parar. Tengo la versión del director de ps5 y gráficamente notable. Quizás la historia podría haberse mejorado para hacerla más fácil de comprender y no colocar tantas cinemáticas pero en general es una buena obra.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Настолько затянутый и однообразный геймплей не видел в своей жизни не в одной игре. Сюжет не плохой, но притянуто за уши сочувствие ко всем персонажам и их мотивация. Просто бред кричать что "Коджима гений!" и тд. и тп. Проходил на максимальном уровне сложности, на котором игра еще и в бесконечный гринд превращается.
    Визуал отличный, графика супер. Интерфейс слегка чудной, в плане загрузки грузов и тп. Еле-еле свыкся к концу игры.
    Можно конечно сказать что атмосферой и живостью персонажей игра не такая пресная, но доставлять грузы из точки А в точку Б по 30 (а то и больше минут) это конечно убивает весь геймплей, чем бы и как бы это не было обосновано.
    Меньше вопросов было к Last Of Us 2, которую как по мне все несправедливо захейтили.
    Все фишки PS5 присутствуют.

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).

    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.
