    Divisive, but important is how i would characterize this game. I have not completed the game yet, but i do feel the artistic aspects of the game even at the expense of genuine, innovative gameplay. It certainly is not perfect, yet bold at the same time. Are there better games, undoubtedly, but i cant help but feel this is still special in some way.

    After completing the game I can honestly say that this is in my opinion Kojimas best game to date. The first playtrough took me a little over 73 hours and not a single one of them was wasted or boring. The gameplay in DS won't be for everyone. It demands patience and attention.

The first playtrough took me a little over 73 hours and not a single one of them was wasted or boring. The gameplay in DS won't be for everyone. It demands patience and attention. It's not fast paced or filled with action. Quite the opposite. But that's the type of games I enjoy. You will be managing your cargo, planning out optimal routes, avoiding BTs (Ghosts), Mules, Terrorists and a deadly rain. You will build structures that other people can use or find structures built by others. You will rebuild entire roads if you desire (Yes you will be using bikes and Trucks in this game). And yes, sometimes you will also engange in combat both with humans and BTs. Not everyone will find the core gameplay loop of DS fun but I adore it. It's fun, it's addicting. Whenever I stopped playing DS I couldn't stop thinking about it.

    The Story on the other hand will be less divisie, it's Kojima at his best. It has its funny and sad moments. Well written characters. Amazing acting. An interesting setting. And funnily enough it's a lot easier to understand than some of Kojimas previous work.

    Honestly there is so much more to this game that this review doesn't do it justice. The online aspect of it alone is amazing and fun to play with.

    This game won't be for everyone, no doubt about that. But for me personally it's the best game of 2019 and this whole generation.

    Death Stranding is a unique game. It's literally like an entire environmental puzzle. It's had me hooked for the 5 hours I've played so far.

    It's a complete "walking simulator" in what the internet has called it. But it's fun, dazzling and most importantly has a lot of great design. Don't let people who get bored when asked to do something different for once. Watch some gameplay and you

    Death Stranding es un juego muy enganchable que te atrapa desde sus primeros minutos.

    Lo Positivo:
    • Historia interesante
    • Personajes Memorables
    • Banda Sonora increíble, temas adecuados a los momentos que vemos en pantalla

    Lo Negativo:
    • Death Stranding no será para todos, su gameplay puede llegar a ser tedioso en ciertas misiones, exceptuando algunos eventos que suceden en el videojuego.
    • Dificultad demasiado escasa, muy a los estandares actuales en los videojuegos, algo que sin duda debe mejorar
    • No mucha variedad en las misiones, algo relacionado al primer punto negativo

    En definitiva:
    Death Stranding si disfrutas de Historias y Personajes con alto argumento, es definitivamente el juego para tí, pero si lo que buscas es jugabilidad sobre todas las cosas, siento que no será el juego ideal para tí, pero definitivamente algo que todo jugador debe probar.

As to avoid spoilers I will just put my pros and cons after finally finishing the game.

    Pros
    >Eventhough people saying this game is a glorified walking simulator the game does feel fresh, unique, and a bit different from the typical triple a open world games devs like to churn out every year with the same formula.
    >Characters, story, and the lore are pretty amazing and also really deep.
    >The actors are perfect for their roles.
    >Interactions with other players was really fun especially building stuffs to aid yourself and them as well.
    >Play the game whatever the way you want. You can kill or avoid every enemies all together.

    Cons
    >Like I said this is a very slow burn game and wouldn't even take off at 30 or so hours so you'll either like or hate it.
    >Missions are consist of the usual delivery this deliver that from point a to point b, yeah there is collect and timed missions but other than that there's barely any variety. Also some rewards aren't really worth the long walk.
    >Disappointed that Bt's and mules aren't really a threat but more of an annoyance and you can go rambo on an army if you have the firepower.
    >Bosses are easy as hell, even the final bosses are pretty easy and doesn't really require strategy to defeat.
    >Terrains and physics can be really inconsistent at times.
    >The damn truck. I hate it!
    >Ui can be confusing at times and a lot of stuffs can be missed out if you don't bother reading the games manual.

Game’s story is really complicated and it’s what I like about it but if you understand the story you will understand the (strand system).no offense but a regular gamer that never played a good campaign or story mode like the last of us will never get the story and the point of it.

    Starting with the obvious, the game is beautiful. Characters and environment are designed wonderfully. Gameplay is smooth and understandable, the game guides you through the story, so you can't get lost.
    Movement of the characters is really organic, they move like a real person with weight and physical limitations.
    I'm really enjoying this, and I can't even imagine how someone could rate

    It isn't your flashy game that grant you instant gratification like many other games do these days to attract more audience.

    Nor is it fitting within any catergory of games. Most of the time this game has its quiet moments and those moments are absolutely fantastic. While the surrounding and environment makes you truly feel like you're alone. Manifestation of other players can be seen or heard. This makes the game less lonely but yet it feels so desolate. The devs and directing did this absolutely brilliantly.

    The transition within this game is just outright fantastic. Including the acting and cutscenes. Its a very well polished game and very well excecuted. While situated in a serious environment, this game does not stop to show and express the absurdity of what gaming is. A good reflection on life how we shouldn't deny the absurdity of life.

    Ita unique to it's core and there is no other games like this. Which is good.
    Kojima is pushing for something here. And rest assure that in the upcoming near future, many games will apply and use elements of Death Stranding to into their own.

    Amazing, a masterpiece by Kojima. The criticisms leveled against it are mostly made by people who are watching a stream, or just contrarians. You'd have to be a brainlet to not be able to enjoy this game.

    Amazing, a masterpiece by Kojima. The criticisms leveled against it are mostly made by people who are watching a stream, or just contrarians. You'd have to be a brainlet to not be able to enjoy this game.

    "Walking Simulator" - it sure is, and it does it fantastically with an amazing array of equipment, exo skeletons and vehicles to help you navigate the terrain.

    "FedEx Simulator" - absolutely. Nearly every game is this - go here, do that, come back. Sometimes they disguise it (Go kill dragon and bring back bones). Instead, Kojima doubles down on it and it works, mainly because of the multiplayer connectivity which thankfully does not require PS+. I needed to upgrade a road, and another player had left a huge stash of metals in a post box, almost seemingly for this very occasion.

    People think the game is pretentious, but it's very transparent - the gameplay never pretends to be deeper than it is. It contains the familiar Hideo stealth sections which are fairly tense and some pretty simple combat, but the main enemy here is the environment and discovering how to navigate it is very enjoyable. The game progresses and unlocks gear at a nice rate so when you are thinking "oh man, I gotta walk here" suddenly you get vehicles, or a speed exo skeleton or zip lines, or after you spend ages trying to navigate a difficult area to make a delivery, you connect the region up to the Chiral network and other players buildings appear, giving you easy access over bridges and other structures.

    I would wager that people criticising this fall into one of three categories
    i) Watched a stream
    ii) ****
    iii) Didn't play past chapter 2.

    concerning the last point, chapter 2 is not boring, but Mama implies that you should finish everything before moving on. Ignore her. You can come back at any time. All she means is that anything you are carrying will be put in storage in a storage locker in the West Coast. Once you get to chapter 3 the game opens up immensely. Chapter 2 is still a tutorial.

    Once again, amazing game, will go down in history as extremely divisive but only brainlets who need constant stimulus will hate this. For everyone else, enjoy a relaxing game.

Amazing visuals, soundtrack and graphics. Coming at the gameplay, it never bored me , it was full of adventure. It's not only about delivering cargo from point A to B but also about planning and managing the cargo, taking it through rough terrains, protecting it from mules, bts and timefall. Some of the action sequences were good others were below average tbh but this game was never meant for action. Every great game doesnt need to be an action game and Death stranding has proved that.

The end result is a mixed bag of wonder and over indulgence that divided critics and audiences alike. Am I talking about George Lucas and The Phantom Menace? Nope. I am referring to one of the most divisive video game of this generation, Death Stranding. This is Hideo Kojima's first project outside Konami, the mega corporation that has nurtured him. The end result is probably the biggest budgeted 'Indie' video game of all time. It's an anti thesis of what Kojima has tried in the past. The MGS series is about a soldier of war who couldn't escape a cycle of violence, so much so that it is 'literally' embedded in his DNA, where his progeny continued his violent tendency ad nauseaum. Sam Porter Bridges, on the other hand, is the ultimate delivery man in a post apocalyptic world. He is essentially a pacifist, and hence, Death Stranding ends up being the most non violent game of this generation. He is not a killer and his job is simply to connect people that are separated from this horrific event. It is incredibly well produced, a killer cast in the form of Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen, and has incredible production values that create an incredibly immersive experience. Yet it has its flaws. Like The Phantom Menace, Kojima and Lucas are too much in awe of their own world building, sacrificing the essence of their own medium: its narrative propulsion and in Kojima's case, the gameplay. Yet, we sort of know what Kojima tries to do: to upend the notion of an open world game and to break the 'monotony' of current AAA games and its samey approach. I have to admit, all these 'open world' games felt essentially the same: a product of astronomical budget and its pressure to make a 'profit'. Death Stranding may not work in many places, but Kojima's insistence to create something 'new' is commendable. Let's say that this is a pixelated walking simulator akin to the original NES' MGS, made by an Indie studio, then people may consider this a 'masterpiece'. But coming from one of the biggest name in gaming? Well, an obvious head scratcher there. Still worth a look, but players be warned, it is not the blockbuster 'action-vaganza' that many are looking for. Expand

    Un juego diferente a todo, si tenes paciencia y te animas a una nueva experiencia.
    Podes llegar a descubrir una gran obra.
    Gran parte de las notas negativas se deben al lento arranque del juego que termina de cansar a los jugadores con que no acostumbran a jugar juegos de este ritmo.
    Yo en mi caso particular lo disfrute mucho.

    With the representation of a mundane task to give meaning and purpose to life, a game in which the narrative dictates the game mechanic instead of the other way around like most games its an experience that will hook you especially if you are a dedicated gamer and a completionist, I connected with the story and message Kojima wanted to transmit but it may not connect with everyone, it alsoWith the representation of a mundane task to give meaning and purpose to life, a game in which the narrative dictates the game mechanic instead of the other way around like most games its an experience that will hook you especially if you are a dedicated gamer and a completionist, I connected with the story and message Kojima wanted to transmit but it may not connect with everyone, it also may be perceived as tedious or boring but its none of that at all, looks like they took every mechanic of a game most people dislike and started a mission of making a good and entertaining game out of that, also mixes different games genres and integrates them with a great narrative of a game that proposes more instead of working with a formula following treads.

    Прежде чем садится за Death Stranding ответьте сами себе для чего вы играете в игры? Если с тупым лицом пострелять злых русских - то эта игра явно не для вас, к сожалению в ней нужно и критично необходимо использовать мозг, что уже само по себе больно для 99% текущих игроков в видеоигры, не говорю что жанр fps плох, нет, просто человек в силу своего интеллекта должен быть разносторонним иПрежде чем садится за Death Stranding ответьте сами себе для чего вы играете в игры? Если с тупым лицом пострелять злых русских - то эта игра явно не для вас, к сожалению в ней нужно и критично необходимо использовать мозг, что уже само по себе больно для 99% текущих игроков в видеоигры, не говорю что жанр fps плох, нет, просто человек в силу своего интеллекта должен быть разносторонним и любить как Мстителей так и Блейд Раннер 49.
    К чему я это? Да ответ очень прост, игровая индустрия тонет в онлайнмультиплеерных играх склонных к принуждению игрока к изощренным способам мастурбации и выход таких сильных сингловых проектов в теории должен быть новостью и событием, тут нужно сделать ремарку что на самом деле этой игре нужно было выходить в форме No Mans Sky, но имеем что имеем, сильный сингл с социальными элементами, лично меня заставившими часов 10 вместо игры помогать другим игрокам различными строениями, лично построил 5 кусков дороги на второй карте, и парадокс эта магия работает, видеть что ты помог абсолютно незнакомым тебе людям - работает. Геймплей лично мне не наскучивал даже в начале, слишком цепляющий, а в эндгейме это вообще близко к шедевру по механикам.
    За сюжет пояснять не буду, такое нужно пережить самому.

    This game is EXTREMELY niche. You either like it or you don't, which explains why most the reviews are either positive or negative, with no in-between. The gameplay has more than a lot of people make it out to be, but it definitely is a lot more muted than other games. Personally, I loved it, and it certainly is a unique experience.

    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.
