The narrative of the game is perfect and introspective, makes references to Blade Runner and Mad Max, its complexity is not for anyone, it is a game that stirs your empathy, your psychological in a unique way, who is criticizing the game is not is connected to nothing that the game goes through! Death Stranding is the best game of my life, coming from someone who loves the Souls franchise, it's very relevant!… Expand

Jogo excelente, que prende bastante aqueles que gostam de uma vasta exploração com gráficos impecáveis, sonoplastia sem igual e gameplay sólida. Pode ficar um tanto quanto repetitiva, mas agradou por se mostrar diferente em sua proposta. Parabéns, Kojima. Continue assim: criando e inovando. Só espero que da próxima vez deixe claro para esses mal agradecidos do que seu jogo se trata. Quem já conhece o diretor, sabe que seus jogos fogem da curva do MainStream e isso não agrada a todos.… Expand

    Excellent game! This is a new take on gaming and I’m enjoying it to the fullest. Just take your time with it and enjoy it. Controls great and gameplay is intense when in BT territory. Game ideas and new mechanics (hiking gear, and movement physics) are very refreshing. Production values are top notch. If possible make sure you play it on a HDR capable tv it looks really amazing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a game that you will either love or hate: no middle ground here. For those Metal Gear Solid fans, you will get it 100% as it follows typical Kojima's video making genius. It is a very thick game that makes you think, plan ahead, and execute. I can already imagine regular games going at it from a conventional gaming mindset, dying on a mission early on and blaming the game for its poor mechanics; then running to a pc for a negative review. I'm a metal gear solid fan and it took me a while to get used to the mechanics and inventory management environment this games sets so yes, I would understand the frustration with some our there stating this game sucks. The story is compelling as Kojima is depicting the human dynamics post a global catastrophe and its implications . The reading material offered as a backstory in the game does the job, that is if you like to read or care to know more about it. Every character has a backstory and i love Kojima for taking the time to back them up. Details will fly over your head if you just want to pass this game. This is a game for the marathon runner. Take you time as most sub missions will enhance the play-ability and story line of the game. Over all, it is a master piece that will get better with time. It's a story worth playing if you have the patience for it. In summary, if you like shooters games, don't get this game but if you like a game puts you to think, appeals to your reading nature, and with strong story line , please enjoy Death Standing.… Expand

    Most important game I've ever played. People who just call it a walking simulator never got into the deeper story-line and meaning of this game.

    Kojima set a purpose for this game and executed it flawlessly, according to his mind set.

Your goal is not kill till you get uberform or uberexperienced. Your goal is to adapt to this chaotic world while struggling to overcome its harsh terrain.
    Some would complain about long cutscenes, but its just how a Kojima game works. It's like complaining about parries, dodges and blocks on soulslike games.
    Death Stranding is not for everyone, but it is special. A defining game.

    I'm addicted. If this game clicks with you, it's very addicting and a lot of the detailed game play elements feels very satisfying. The game isn't for everyone but if it sucks you in, you will be hooked.
    You have to get to at least episode 3-4 because at that point, a ton more stuff opens up that you can build and use to help when you are traveling...and it is worth it.

    It makes it so much more fun. The act and game play loop of connecting the strands of the country becomes addicting and so much fun. The multiplayer system is awesome. I'm obsessed with getting "likes" and it's super addicting. It's just seamlessly integrated where it never gets in the way of your game play so for those that don't like multiplayer, don't worry. It actually completely enhances the game to the point where there is no way you should play offline. Things like getting "likes" from other players for signs you put down, roads you build, storage units you make, watch towers and generators you put up, is SO satisfying. It makes you just want to keep doing it. Those "likes" aren't meaningless either. They add to your bridge links to the facilities and also increases your porter rating which adds to your influence on other players and how other players are affected by you.    … Expand

    I’m giving it a top rating. It’s not for everyone and I get that, but the game has depth and asks great questions. Similar to good books or movies. Makes you reflect on life. It’s not a FPS there’s no killing. It’s about life and the world we live in now. It’s a much needed addition to the video game bookshelf. Much respect Kojima.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of the best games I've ever played with and it's a real shame to see such a low grade. The first two chapters are slow but they are meant to be so! It's the beginning of the journey and you are meant to endure hardships if you have little to none connections with others to help you. Keep playing and you see a majestic story starting to unfold. The characters are well developed and, in my opinion, Sam really resonates with the player. The graphic is incredible and the enemies are really creepy. Are the fights hard? No. And with good reason. Because they aren't the point of the game. The point is not the fighting, it is the quests to connect all the stations. The realization that when pooling all your resources together with other player you build roads that help everybody. Please give this game a fair chance. It's very different so it takes a moment longer to deeply understand its message.… Expand

    Didn't think I would like this, but if someone knows how to make transporting goods fun, it's Hideo Kojima. After the first 8 hours or so you'll immediately be thankful you stuck with it. Things open up and reward you for sticking through to the end. A must-have for fans of The Last of Us, Horizon Zero Dawn, or Metal Gear Solid.

    Huge Warning for those looking to buy this game. Its not an action-game what so ever. Its very slow and not fast based what so ever.

It makes me very sad to see that many of the negative reviews of this game are due to people expecting a game with more akin to a "Elder Scroll" game or "Mass Effect". Or expecting a "Metal Gear" game just cause of the past games the director has worked on. People can make other things you know.

    If you are a of fan of indulging yourself in a slow games where you can couch potato for long periods of times then you will enjoy this game. A lot of the game is walking/driving around obstacles and trying to path out the best routes to get to your destination. Each area having different obstacles like rouge humans, the Bt's and the surrounding terrain itself. Rushing delivery's risks damaging the goods you are holding onto making the simplest of tasks stressful and rewarding. You also do get character upgrades as you go, usually through side quests and trying to please specific customers. something as simple as having increased balance and weight capacity is super exciting. By the end of the game you are a human semi-truck.

    Story wise I dont want to spoil anything, but it grabs your attention by giving you really interesting and unique creatures designs, technology that does oddly specific things and a baby in a magic 8 ball. If you watched the trailers for this game and want to know what the hell is anything it shows in a curious light then you will like that part of the game. There are a lot of cut scenes BTW so if your a fan of those then you are in for a good time. And if you are there for just the gameplay, dont worry 90% of cut-scenes can be skipped. Even the big ones.

    To put it blunt, its a delivery game. Dont expect epic battle confrontations. If you enjoy an atmospheric world with a mystery of past events done with a slow-burn Chances are that you are gonna enjoy yourself.    … Expand

    Death Stranding is creating a new game genre and therefore paves its own path towards more interactive experiences. It is a brave work thanks to its novelty, which fortunately is not a bragging right for its creators, as it may have seemed, but an exceptional title that will reward the brave who play it.

    This game does manage to be fun, even if it is one of the heaviest experiences of 2019. Everything from story to gameplay is begging to be dissected, filled with imagery and symbolism -- just like so many Kojima games before this one. Entering Death Stranding, it’s likely that we all thought Kojima’s calling card was lengthy cutscenes and stealth and action gameplay.

    Death Stranding stands as a powerful author’s game which drives a strong message of how our over-connected society is evolving, and how we can help other players. Unlike many AAA games, it shines on a truly spiritual level. Well written, engaging and visually magnificent, it offers, despite some pacing flaws, an astonishing solo game with elegant multiplayer elements. A unique representation of Hideo Kojima’s talent.
