    Bom, eu de fato gostei muito do jogo death stranding. Mas tenho que dizer que algumas partes na gameplay são cansativas. Me fazendo cansar e me deixando ficar longe do ds por um tempo. Entretanto acabei zerando e achei a historia extremamente maravilhosa e complexa. Gostei muito das musicas que usaram no jogo, deixaram o clima excelente.

    The game is very unusual, unlike other games, this is its plus. Kojima is a genius. The music is just as wonderful as the gameplay. The plot is super and very complex. After the game, I watched a review of the plot that lasted 3 hours. A masterpiece

    This game is polarizing for some...but do not believe the "shallow walking simulator" complaints. It is a game about deliveries from point A to point B, yes...but the gameplay is refined and the decisions made while going from point A to point B...what you are carrying, how to approach an objective, inventory management, and smooth controls make this game one of my favorites of all time!

    Graphics are amazing and the world/atmosphere itself is beautiful, I actually was surprised of how much fun I had with it after seeing the gameplay. The way Sam interacts with the environment is very satisfying and the way they introducte new tools to transverse the map also helped to maintain a bit of freshness + the soundtrack also made a considerable mark on me, to say the least ... yet it stills fails to provide a game in which I could actually be fully entertained most of the time because of its story's pacing.

    The plot, which even if somewhat convoluted, was very intriguing, thought provoking and emotional, but most of its actual content is literally dumped onto us in the last 2 to 3 hours of the game.

    Hyped to see if that gets better on Death Stranding 2!

    Either you will like it or you won't. Very unusual game. I had a lot of fun managing my cargo and making deliveries. I liked that it's a very story driven game. There are no "wrong choices" and the bosses are not hard. I found the dialogue between the characters very weak at times. The first three chapters are very long but then the pace picks up and you feel like your finally making some headway.

    um otimo jogo. só que o jogo fica bem enjoativo e repetitivo depois de terminar as missões principais, o combate com armas de fogo não é tão divertido. más passar numa área de EP's pra coletar entregas sem arma nenhuma enquanto vê a sombra deles é de deixar qualquer um em desespero.

Obviamente por ser algo novo assustou muita gente, em especial os mais preguiçosos e pessoas com baixo nível intelectual. É aí que se separam os meninos dos homens, as meninas das mulheres. Jogos de nicho para isso são feitos: Agradar a um público seleto, aqueles que realmente têm a acrescentar no mundo. É um jogo que mudou minha vida, reacendendo minha paixão por videogames. Aguardo uma sequência com toda a felicidade. É isso. Paro por aqui pois 5000 caracteres são poucos para expressar minha satisfação com esse game que é mais do que uma experiência inesquecível. É uma obra de arte. Expand

    Death Stranding is without a doubt one of the weirdest games I've ever had the privilege of playing which I suppose is to be expected from one gaming's greatest icon's himself.

I can understand where people are coming from when they say this game isn't for everyone because the way I see it, most people think of fun video games as primarily just mindless hack and slashing, shooting others, and innovative gameplay but not delivering packages or complex stories but to be completely honest with you, after putting more than 100 hours into this game for the platinum, I personally believe the people who are giving this game a 0 didn't even bother playing this because this game is so much more than just a lifeless open world delivery game. The main thing to understand what I mean is that I wouldn't describe this world as "lifeless" since there's plenty of lost cargo along the path meaning you can decide to stop and quickly pick it up making sure it's a mindless point A to B path with nothing to look at since the lost cargo all over the place will make sure you keep a careful eye all over the place. It's not even like there's nothing to look at even without the lost cargo since the graphics are PHENOMENAL even for a base PS4 to complement the atmosphere to ensure it's both relaxing which I can imagine is what a lot of people play games for and it stays in your head on what a post apocalyptic world would look like and it also helps the performance is excellent since the frame stays LOCKED to 30 FPS which is especially impressive for a world this detailed even for a PS4 Pro. The way how the gameplay is more fun than it looks since your cargo is heavy and the world is also a challenge with terrain potentially posing a danger to cargo making you plan out and experiment on how to get past the challenge and it's always satisfying when you do it. I'm not kidding when I say the sandbox a big strength of this game since you could overcome a challenge or reach a destination however you want; for example, I decided to try and kill all the human enemies and cremate their bodies to see what would happen and sure enough, their bodies NEVER came back making me feel rewarded I tried an experiment. The "emptiness" is intended since you can build any types of structures you want but there's also other structures other players made and when you use them/make structures, you're helping other people out and they're helping you to make you and others understand that in order to save America (or let's face it as gamers, probably just get the platinum trophy), we need to work together and unite as one which now that I think about it, must've been Kojima's plan all along. Whoever made this soundtrack should get a raise because there's not a whole lot of music but then when it does come up, it shows up when you're about to finish a difficult delivery and it genuinely feels like a massive burden is lifted off your shoulders and you feel so relived thanks to the soothing music. Finally, the story is frankly complex and convoluted and that in return is what makes it incredible but it's really the characters surrounding the story that makes it something special because without them, this story would've fallen flat on it's face since a good story is completely around it's characters to tell it. HOWEVER, I don't think this game is perfect and even though Kojima is quite an icon in the gaming industry, even he isn't immune from criticism and I've seen plenty of people say these flaws are his "style" but to be clear, just because it's his style doesn't make it good. Like even though the physics are amazing, they're not perfect since Sam could slip and act like he hit a wall even when a rock the size of his knee caps is in the way and it's extra annoying when you feel your cargo shouldn't have gotten damaged like this. The performances are great for the most part, but there was this one character who was just downright HORRIBLE especially considering this is a AAA game. Finally, what I believed created of the initial negative first impressions, nothing happens in the first 4 chapters. To be frank, it's not the players job to continue on throughout the game to see what happens, the developers need to get the players engaged from the very beginning otherwise players are gonna think this is how the game is gonna be for the rest of the game which is clearly not true. Overall, despite it's flaws, Death Stranding is one of the most unique games I've ever played and I'm so happy I played it since I haven't felt both this relaxed and lost in a video game for quite and a while and if you can get past the first 4 chapters, I can happily recommend this game and I can't wait to see what Kojima has to offer for the sequel.
    EDIT: Actually, scratch what I said, the human enemies I killed DID come back but that wasn't for a LOT longer than if I knocked them out

Cons: the game is too long and sometimes the characters explain too much stuff that is not useful or just repeting something that another character said before. The gameplay has some problems , it's fun at the start but too repetitive in the end, the fact that you can't build everywhere is a limit , but the fact that what you build could help other players it's a concept in multiplayer games that i have never seen before. Nevertheless I really enjoyed being Deliveroo and I have platinumed it. I felt lot of emotions near the end of the story. Thank You Kojima for this wonderful experience, looking forward to play DS 2 . ;)))

    C'est très difficile de donner une note a ce jeu, tout d'abord car cela voudrait dire que nous pourrions le comparer avec un autre jeu qui lui aussi possède une note. Mais, c'est impossible.

    Si un jour on m'avait dit que je jouerais a un truc pareil. Je joue au jeu vidéo depuis mes 3ans, de la Nintendo 64 a la switch, et de la PlayStation 1 a la 5. J'ai joué a des centaines de jeux, passé des milliers d'heures, et explorer de nombreux terrains. Si The Last Of Us, Life Is Strange ou encore Beyond:Two Souls on a véritablement marqué ma vie de gamer et même ma vie tout court, Death Stranding est pour moi le jeu avec le scénario le plus prenant et le plus émouvant qui puisse exister a l'heure actuelle.

    Comme l'avait bien dit son créateur Hideo Kojima "ce n'est pas un jeu fait pour tout le monde" si vous n'êtes pas du genre émotionnel ou que vous préférez juste jouer au jeu vidéo pour passer du bon temps avec vos amis, alors passez votre chemin.
    Death stranding s'adresse a un public impliqué dans les questions "existentiel" de notre monde. DS questionne tout un tas de choses constituant nos réalités sociale et humaine, en passant de notre nature d'être humain jusqu'à notre représentation même de l'univers.

    C'est ce qui je pense déplaît à beaucoup de gens qui s'attendaient à avoir un énième shooter a la MGS, en effet même la narration et le scenario sont "bizarres". C'est très ouvert et sujet à interprétations, je trouve ça absolument génial.
    Comme dans l'art chaque joueur va avoir sa propre perception d'une même histoire, et c'est trop peu commun dans le jeu vidéo pour ne pas en parler ! je pense aussi que c'est ca qui a refroidi beaucoup de gens qui se sont retrouvé perdu face à cette liberté narrative.

    Pour ce qui est du gameplay en lui-même, cela se résume à faire des livraisons à travers l'Amérique. Absolument rien de plus, ça va donc vous paraître bizarre que je vous dise que le gameplay n'est pas répétitif. Mais, en effet, l'histoire va sans cesse donner un nouveau sens au gameplay et venir nous redonner un second souffle avec toujours plus de motivation pour rétablir les "Villes Unis d'Amérique".

    Le système de récompense est très jouissif pour le joueur et a aucun moment je n'ai été ennuyé par le jeu. Death Stranding est basé sur la natation, et même si son système atypique et innovant font de ce jeu un hors norme, il est pour moi l'un des meilleurs jeux vidéo que j'ai pu expérimenter jusqu'à ce jour

    In an industry where many action games adhere to familiar formulas, Death Stranding stands out as one of the most unique AAA experiences available. While it does exhibit moments of self-indulgence that border on silliness, Hideo Kojima still deserves admiration for his vision. Keep it up, Hideo.

    This game is graphically incredible, with a soundtrack to match. Kojima stamps his mark with another crazy story (no spoilers don't worry) that's as far fetched as you'd expect from Hideo, but engrossing non-the-less.
    Probably one of the most thought provoking, touching games I have ever witnessed. Worth persevering.

Hideo Kojima's latest cinematic experiment is not for everyone to say the least. It has been heavily mocked for being a glorified walking simulator. While the game plays out like a futuristic sci-fi take on UPS, it's also quite intriguing. However, those expecting an open-world action title are bound to be disappointed. This isn't Metal Gear Solid or like anything else you might've ever played. That's what makes it so unique and quite special. Now whether you can get on board with what Kojima is selling is another thing. As Sam Porter Bridges, the player's job is to deliver packages in a desolate apocalyptic land. So you travel from Point A to Point B throughout the entire 50 hour experience. Yes, it sounds boring and it will be for many players. But fans of experimental and artistic video games will probably like Death Stranding, if not downright love it. This wholly original creation is bizarre, goofy, slow-paced and highly-cinematic. The story is convoluted and the gameplay can get repetitive. But as you progress, new mechanics open up and the tale gets more involving. Visually, this is one of the most beautiful games ever. Is it a masterpiece? No. If fact, it won't be very entertaining for many gamers. But as an original, Death Stranding stands out from the rest of the crowd. If you like Japanese Anime, offbeat comic-books and science-fiction, then this is for you. I'd rate it with an 8.1 out of 10. Expand

    The game has a lot of intertwined mechanics that dilute the gameplay well. This is not just a walk, the terrain itself is a test that must be overcome in order to reach the goal.

    I bought Death Stranding on release day and promptly traded it in the following day. I believe I called the game "Amazon delivery simulator".

    I downloaded the game as part of the Playstation Plus deal and decided to try again.

    Wow. What a game.

    If you play for more than a few hours the game mechanics make sense. You learn how to not fall over all the time, how to use stealth, or be brash and loud when needed. The gameplay is super fun. Trying to work out the best route for deliveries to maximise your route and avoid BTs.

    The story as well is so well written and unique. I love the characters and the history they have. Also how all the stories tie in at the end.

    The only really annoying thing in the game for me was the unskippable scene every time your BB detects BTs. If you make mutliple runs this can happen many times and it gets frustrating. Apart from that I highly recommend.

    AS EVERY DELIVERY MAN SHOULD BE.

    BEFORE WE BEGIN:
    I will preface this by saying that I played the pc version of Death Stranding, played it in its entirety but did not get the platinum. This is the original version of the game.

    THIS IS AMERICA:
    Death Stranding looks like a typical Kojima game; the player is catapulted within the first few hours of the game into a sequence of cryptic cutscenes aimed at stimulating the player's curiosity, and right from the start one can understand the highly authorial tone of the work. The location is the USA, in a “post apocalyptic” setting. It is neither coincidental nor strange to understand almost nothing of the plot of this game in the first few hours, but it is precisely where the player does not fully understand the plot that he or she can begin to speculate, later finding themselves with pleasant predictions and surprises as the story progresses. In the first steps within the game, the mechanics that will later be used throughout the playthrough are brilliantly explained, thanks to the accurate level design and the clarity of the main mechanics.

    DELIVERING PACKAGES:
    Death Stranding's gameplay is one of the most talked-about gameplays of 2019; between those who are bored and those who are thrilled, it is undeniable that Death Stranding created something new, which in today's AAA is no small feat. Just giving the game an actual genre is complex, being that it created a new one in its own right. There is no denying that this gameplay, based on merely running from point A to point B is nothing epic, and it may bore the casual gamer, but if you take it the right way it becomes a very relaxing game, given also the mainly natural style of the environment.
    Nonetheless, the game has several mechanics that can delight various types of players and different playstyles; you can rush through the game skipping everything by bike, always go on foot admiring the scenery, or fight looters who will try to steal your cargo. There is of course no shortage of problems, but I will report on them in the game cons later.

    LOOKING THROUGH UNBORN’S EYES:
    Graphically the game is really good, on consoles it looks almost always clean and detailed, on pc you don't notice excessive differences from the console version except for the rendering distance and framerate. The facial animations are decent but the models are superb. Yet another merit is the world design; the use of photogrammetry, the assumption of real environments to give the game a realistic architecture, makes the game incredibly immersive. In addition, the use of lighting and colors is always apt and impeccable.

    “LIKE SOUND EFFECT”:
    On audio level, the game has very few imperfections; it boasts of a soundtrack composed of dozens of songs always used at the right time, some truly catchy osts created specifically for the game, an astronomical cast with some of the best voice actors in the video game world, and a perfect choice of sound effects.

    BUT WHY 9?

    PROS:
    Death Stranding is one of those gems that should be played by those who are fans of exciting and intricate storylines. If what you are looking for is a game purely dedicated to gameplay, it is not the game for you, as that is not what it was created for. The story, world building and characterization of this work is one of the best ever created. All of this is extremely augmented by the fantastic actors used and the great voice actors in the cast. The study of the game's level design is almost always impeccable, and it suppresses the repetitiveness of the base game.

    CONS:
    The cons of the game are several, and they almost all relate to subjective tastes a player might have. Let's start, however, with objective problems; The motorbike; the motorbike is one of those things that are essential to the game, but turn out 80% of the time to be extremely clunky, and you often find yourself stuck, bugged or in impossible situations. Another thing is the facial animations, which as opposed to the facial models, turn out, due to technology, to be very expressive, and there are many scenes that would have been much more exciting with better animations. Obviously the worst negative point of the game is, if given in the hands of a casual player, the lack of franticness, action, and diversity; the presence of numerous cutscenes made many people give up on the game, along with the monotonous gameplay, and this is a shame, but as kojima said, this was calculated, and not everything can please everyone.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Awesome game, it’s itself a new kind of video game, with a whole new concept and new way of doing things, of course it requires a lot of time and a lot of common sense and curiosity if you wanna make things simple, for example, I spend hours and hours walking because I didn’t understand how to use the equipment to travel from one part of the map to the other and tried to use the motorbike everywhere, but once you understand the ziplines everything becomes easier. The story is awesome, every character has a lot of personality and enrich the way to the end, it’s a time worthy trip, that everyone should experience and enjoy, Norman Reedus is such a rockstar, just to watch him worth the time. The villain is awesomely made, like all the twists at the end, for sure you won’t regret playing this game. The whole thing last around 40 hours, not going too deep into secondary missions of course.

    If there is one thing to mention, on a negative way, is the Call of Duty parts of the game, or the “Metal Gear” parts coming from Miyazaki, it’s so unnecessary those shooting sessions, and so frustrating, above all at the final hour of the game, when you think it’s over and just keep delaying the end, and shooting the VT is good, but those against Cliff are so bad and it may be the worse part of the whole game.

    Conclusão: Death Stranding é um jogo extremamente controverso, principalmente por suas mecânicas, realmente um jogo difícil de se aproveitar dependendo de como se joga, joguei após lançamento então pude ter uma experiencia muito satisfatória pois o sistema online do mundo dos jogadores se complementarem torna tudo muito mais divertido, tornando uma jogatina mais tranquila e menos punitiva, acredito que caso você tenha jogado no lançamento não tenha aproveitando tanto do seu online e tanha tido uma experiencia não tão interessante mas Death Stranding é sim um game que vale a pena, consegui me divertir muito e sei que nem todos vão ter essa experiencia, realmente é um jogo dificil de se entender tanto enredo quanto sua proposta de gameplay mas acredito que Kojima queria passar para nós uma sensação de dificuldade e realismo que Sam passou em sua jornada para que a cada entrega a gente pudesse sentir que mais um desafio foi concluido assim como os bosses em Dark Souls, muito gente vai achar entediante e acho totalmente compressivel por que as vezes realmente é mas num geral pra mim foi gratificante e sem duvidas me lembrarei desse jogo como um bom refresco entre os grandes lançamentos, uma experiencia unica e estranha porém satisfatória.

    No logro comprender aún como es que un juego que hace tantas cosas mal me terminó gustando tanto.

    El combate es insulso. Los jefes tienen como debilidad cualquier bala y son de tamaño de un edificio así que fallar un tiro es prácticamente imposible, para colmo Sam tiene la capacidad de lanzar granadas cuál medallista olímpico .

    Los personajes tienen la capacidad de soltar diálogos que causan pena ajena y la historia ni siquiera es complicada, simplemente Kojima encuentra formas de darle mil vueltas al asunto.

    Sin embargo los mejores momentos del juego son cuando ignoras a los personajes, la historia tan rebuscada y el combate aburrido y te centras en intentar no irte de hocico por una cordillera mientras vas cargando con cuatro garrafones. El diseño del terreno es impresionante y llegar a un lugar se siente siempre como un desafío que es más interesante y divertido que cualquier otra actividad que el juego te pida hacer. Quizá el gameplay sea repetitivo pero es atrapante, sin embargo nunca podré saber si este juego realmente es bueno o es solo el nombre de Kojima el que levanta la experiencia

    Es un juego que definitivamente no podría recomendar, es cuestión de que el gameplay o la historia te llame la atención y decidas jugarlo o no, y si lo juegas hay que aguantar para no tirarlo, y aquellos que se queden enganchados lo recordarán por siempre

    Metta meditation is a type of Buddhist meditation. In Pali — a language that's closely related to Sanskrit and spoken in northern India — “metta” means positive energy and kindness toward others. The practice is also known as loving-kindness meditation. basically, metta is the general love towards the world itself.
    and now, i do also believe kojima calling his genre of game a "strand-type game" was indeed very cheesy way for him to marketing his game since we can say this genre existed thanks to souls-like genre and my beloved, Dark souls series. but stil, calling it strand-type or souls-like game,
    both of these genres have something very special for the modern society. i have played many games in my life, and i have never seen a game execpt dark souls, DS and disco elysium does such thing. to implant a Mindset within the player. an idea, a way of thinking...
    death stranding, in my humble opinion, teaches you the metta meditation mindset.
    and i get it. you may not like the game. but if you have experienced loneliness, depression and isolation in your life, trust me. just try it. you may appreciate and get what i mean.
    this game is made for this audience.
    in this game, you are alone. but yet you are not.
    you are alone but in your path, people have passed it.
    you are alone but you give kindness to the world around you
    and also you get kindness from others in tough situations
    this is love.
    this is a meditation. you are all by yourself, just "walking", feeling each step you take, and on your way, you give help and you get help. this is life. this is love and kindness. and thats why its so special.
    death stranding is an underrated gem. and yeah, its not for everyone and i get it if you don't like it.
    but man, if you actually could appreciate it for what it is...

So the first hours were... what i did ? I was sort of returning playing solo games after take distance from it. So it was hard and all that menus and stuff were... disengaging. But.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (8) Very Good. Innovated, but perhaps not in the right choice for everyone. This score indicates that there are many good things to be had, but arguable so.

    To start off with, the graphics are insanely good and so is the story and characters. This game has a good message to tell the world too. This game suffers from story beats being too far in between which will force some players to give up and just research the ending. You are pretty much just a delivery gut in this game but there is more than just walking like people say and they let you unlock other stuff pretty quickly. Gameplay is smooth but the first 8 hrs of the game you are wondering if all the walking complaints are true but it’s just the initial game mechanics. You’ll be driving, and zip lining in no time. Just be sure to plan your route for vehicles otherwise, you’ll be walking.

    Una perla imperdibile, un titolo unico, nuovo, diverso davvero, con un gameplay comprensibile solo se lo si è provato.
    Diffidate dalle recensioni negative di persone che non riescono a vedere ad un palmo dal naso e non capiscono che i generi esistono per un motivo.
    Io odio i gestionali, non per questo direi che un gestionale è brutto, e odio Fifa, ma non direi che è brutto perché non mi

    Io odio i gestionali, non per questo direi che un gestionale è brutto, e odio Fifa, ma non direi che è brutto perché non mi fa sparare a nessuno, è un gioco di calcio.
    Bene, questo è un "simulatore di corriere" sulla carta, e non va criticato per questo.
    Inoltre, simulatore a parte, ragazzi, il gameplay va ben oltre, (da persona che odia anche i simulatori).
    In fine, il come, è molto più importante del cosa, fidatevi, il semplice camminare in questo gioco è gameplay puro! Provare per credere.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Excesivo uso de cinemática sobretodo al final del juego.Le recomiendo al desarrollador, crear una historia entendible y no sólo un guión que creo que ni el mismo entiende. Expand

    Un juego extremadamente diferente que goza de increible banda sonora, es un juego para esas personas que se la pasan haciendo trabajos en gta Online o un personaje en los sims, un juego donde te relajas siguiendo las ordenes que te dan mientras pasa el tiempo, lo malo de primeras que diria es que si se esfuerza en ser muy unico por lo que a veces es simplemente mucha rareza porque si estoUn juego extremadamente diferente que goza de increible banda sonora, es un juego para esas personas que se la pasan haciendo trabajos en gta Online o un personaje en los sims, un juego donde te relajas siguiendo las ordenes que te dan mientras pasa el tiempo, lo malo de primeras que diria es que si se esfuerza en ser muy unico por lo que a veces es simplemente mucha rareza porque si esto se nota tanto en jugabilidad como en la historia, aparte de ser un poco repetitivo una vez ya aprendes todo. Aun asi su historia no deja de ser buena, con personajes con personalidad, bastante personalidad, un buen mundo abierto, ya que contiene suficientes cosas que hacer fuera de la historia, buenos detalles y guiños de muchas cosas.

    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.
