    The most detailed and high-budget walking sim, directed by Hideo Kojima. Graphics are top-notch, direction of cut-scenes is flawless. But i must admit, the game is not for everyone, and one should lower their expectaions going in this one.

    One of best games of Kojima.

    New fresh gamplay, it is not the usual open world FPS, we need of something new, thanks Kojima.

    I would also like to add that reviewers were missing out on the community aspect of the game. Now that Death Stranding is in the wild you can interact more with things other players have built or left behind. The stealth aspect of the game is haunting yet memorizing.

    Lastly, the graphics are sooooo photo-realistic and that alone makes this an enjoyable experience.    … Expand

    Death Stranding is a breath of fresh air in a world full of instant gratification videogames. While lacking in some departments for the "modern gamer", for me personally, Death Stranding hits the spot perfectly. Up to this day i never really liked traversing enviroments in games, because all it was just holding "forward" and not really doing anything else. What Death Stranding does, isDeath Stranding is a breath of fresh air in a world full of instant gratification videogames. While lacking in some departments for the "modern gamer", for me personally, Death Stranding hits the spot perfectly. Up to this day i never really liked traversing enviroments in games, because all it was just holding "forward" and not really doing anything else. What Death Stranding does, is give you a handful of enjoyable minigames to play while looking at the beautiful enviroments and listening to the ambience of it all. That's what works for me, I think in the coming years, games will start adding these minigames to traversal, instead of opting for 100% fast-travel. Fast-travel has it's merits, but sometimes it's good to let the player enjoy the scenery, even if it seems lengthy.
    i have not finished the game yet and i feel there is a lot more to discover in the upcoming hours, that i will play. I feel that the majority of people here giving 0's didn't even touch the game based on their reviews and seeing as some of their "claims" were proven wrong when i actually got to a certain part of the game, which showed that they didn't know what they were talking about.
    All in all, if you cannot spare 60 dollars for a game of this scale, wait for a sale, give it an honest try, ignoring all other opinions and for once, try to form your own. It is what i did and i have to say i'm not missing a single cent that i spent.
    Music is gorgeous, Graphics aswell, albeit i was hoping for 60 fps, the game being locked to 30 being a minus for me. The story, seemingly complicated to some, is told in chunks, not too complicated, easily to digest considering how long the game is.
    While some people maybe expected a military shooter ala Metal Gear Solid and what we're seeing is the dissapointment of not getting something you're expecting. For me the gameplay is above all else, "glorified fetch quest", "boring, repetitive" some may call it, don't listen to those people and try it for yourself, at the end of the day you might end up as me and find a new game to add to your favourites. You may not end up liking it, but that's okay.    … Expand

The characters are interesting. The “bts” are genuinely horrifying. The moment to moment gameplay ranges from easy going to incredibly tense. The variety of gameplay slowly increases as you get used to mechanics and systems. The graphics are beautiful. The soundtrack and how the music is implemented is kinda neat. There are two things I don’t like about the game so far. The product placement is dumb and holding the triggers to steady yourself under a heavy load is a bit excessive. That’s it! The game is great minus a couple flaws that are easily ignored. Bottom line... I would suggest ignoring the negative reviews that have an obvious axe to grind. The game is worth giving a shot.… Expand

For me personally, this game has had the kind of impact on me that only a few games have over the past 20+ years of gaming. This is a very special game.

Controls are tight and easy to get used to (very helpful that the prompts and tutorials will recur throughout on 'Normal' mode. Yes a lot of what you do in the beginning is repetitive, but it gets better, and the story is amazing in the way only Kojima can make it. Norman Reedus does a fine job as your stubborn but stalwart protagonist, and every other actor is phenomenal in their own role. Music is fittingly dystopic, graphics look great running on a ps4 pro on a 4k TV, and no loading screens from area to area. I never feel like I'm left "out in the Timefall" when I load up my gear and set off west.… Expand

After having skimmed through a large portion of them, I have came to the conclusion that a large majority of the negative reviews are either trolls, konami shills, or people who simply don’t get it. There was a time, where a game like this would be considered a masterpiece. Sadly those days have been eroded, eroded like the flesh of your character’s skin when the rain hits it. Gaming in today’s day and age has been whitewashed, people now come to expect the same formula released every 6 months rehashed with a different skin, presented under a different theme but none the less the gameplay in those games remain passionless, and lack substance. Sure the new Call of Duty looks great, but beyond the flash it is just a remake of call of duty 4. Most people have become accustomed to these kinds of games that when they play something like death stranding, they hate it. This game will not receive the praise it deserves because of companies like EA bastardizing the industry for a quick buck, and anyone who can’t grip the immaculance that is death stranding lacks just as much tegridy as the companies that make the passionless games they’re used to playing. As for my review? What else can I say, the game is brilliant. Boring walking sim? Not even close, sure there is a lot of walking but In a post apocalyptic world you are going to do a lot of walking. Chances are you’ll almost never come across a band of nomads driving cars welded together from other cars like in mad max, a true apocalyptic scenario will likely be exactly as the one death stranding imposes. None the less, as I begin to trail off point. I am only half way through episode 2, and so far I have been almost dragged twice to my death by BT’s, and ambushed once by MULES. So if you are someone who thinks all you do is walk, then you never really gave the game a chance or just haven’t played at all and are just being trendy by hating something you do not understand or you think is cool to hate because your favorite loser YouTuber doesn’t think it’s fast paced enough to deserve the recognition as the piece of art this game actually is. Kojima is on a constant ego trip for a reason, the man is a genius. And even if I never play this fame again after I play through it, I will continue to support developers like Hideo, because developers like Hideo aren’t passionless hacks like EA or Ubisoft. Sadly like I said, this game won’t get the praise it deserves and people will continue to throw their money at companies like EA that are run by actual sociopaths. Oh well, people always gonna be blissful to their own ignorance… Expand

Facendo una prima analisi parziale derivata dalle mie prime 15h di gioco si può già delineare un comparto tecnico d'eccellenza, dalla regia, al sonoro fino ad arrivare alla grafica. Ora andiamo ad analizzare la cosa più criticata soprattutto paradossalmente da chi il gioco neanche lo ha provato ovvero il gameplay, questo è il classico gioco che non può e forse non vuole essere capito solamente guardando delle fasi di gameplay altrui ma che va provato pad alla mano per capire le sensazioni prodotte da un gameplay apparentemente ripetitivo ma maledettamente profondo. Ok lo scopo principale è portare dei pacchi da un punto A a un punto B e questo potrebbe far storcere il naso, ma quando si scopre tutto quello che implica il viaggio e tutte le meccaniche che ci sono in mezzo si rimane a dir poco basiti e appagati da ogni azione. Prima di tutto ogni parte del terreno è gameplay di conseguenza anche azioni apparentemente semplici come attraversare un fiume o scalare un pendio devono essere un'attenta analisi di diversi fattori quali peso trasportato (gestibile attraverso un dettagliatissimo menù), bilanciamento, vigore, psiche, profondità o inclinazione del terreno a seconda e tanto tanto altro. Di conseguenza le azioni che negli altri videogiochi sono le più banali qua diventano estremamente appaganti. Il tutto condito dall'oramai famoso social strand system ovvero la connessione indiretta tramite altri giocatori con la possibilità di condividere carichi, consegnare quelli smarriti da altri utenti, costruire e potenziare un notevole numero di edifici ognuno con scopi e peculiarità diverse. La sensazione di trovare l'oggetto essenziale per il tuo viaggio al momento giusto nel posto giusto lasciato da un altro giocatore è davvero impagabile. E' davvero troppo difficile poter spiegare tutto va assolutamente giocato, senza contare che ogni consegna è un continuo aggiungere di nuovi strumenti, meccaniche, voci nel menù, mezzi creando un stratificazione di avanzamento del gameplay mai noiosa. Ma non dimentichiamoci che c'è anche, nonostante sia in secondo piano una componente action e stealth (cose sulle quali devo ancora approfondire dato che sono ancora nelle prime fasi). Inoltre già da subito si possono notare all'interno dell'opera tematiche importanti portate da kojima quali ambientalismo, una forte critica ai crescenti sovranismi che tendono a isolare invece di connettere e al cyber bullismo. In ultimo lo story telling è mozzafiato ma di questo Kojima è maestro e si sapeva.… Expand

    Time Dilation.

    It is a phenomena where one person experiences time differently from the outside world. You may have experience this in Outer Worlds recently. During my 30+ years of gaming life, I have experienced this on only a handful of occasions where I literally lost track of time while playing a particular game. You tend to be more easily impressed when you are younger but as the    Time Dilation.

    It is a phenomena where one person experiences time differently from the outside world. You may have experience this in Outer Worlds recently. During my 30+ years of gaming life, I have experienced this on only a handful of occasions where I literally lost track of time while playing a particular game. You tend to be more easily impressed when you are younger but as the years piled up, you become more jaded towards games as the mechanics remained the same while graphics continued to improve and franchise sequels dominate the landscape.

    Similar to what Martin Scorsese wrote in his NY Times ‘s opinion about movies as a medium, there is increasingly lack of an element of risk to these franchise sequels or well-trodden genre games. Don’t get me wrong, Outer Worlds was a fantastic game, I lapped it up eagerly as I hungered for a sequel to Fallout 4 and in truth, it was indeed very well made. Nevertheless, when the final credits rolled, I felt then that I have seen it all before and I found myself struggling to hop on for another run.

    With Death Stranding, yes, it can be a tedious game during parts and the UI can be intimidating with limited tutorials but boy, am I lost in time when I become completely immerse in this world created by Hideo Kojima. I often start off with a simple delivery while it is bright outside and, without realizing it, ended up well into the evening by the time I successfully connected more cities to the Chiral network. Time dilation that I experienced is a reflection of how immersive and successfully this game is. Stripping away the beautiful visuals, the captivating sound track and celebrities’ appearances, it is simply a single player lonely experience in an empty world longing for connection much like the people in UCA. Through hardships in making the arduous journey in reconnecting, the lonely world suddenly lights up with evidence of others tireless improving this once emptied place and turning it into a collaborative playground. It is fitting that the players’ experiences in the game mirror the struggles of those Kojima depicted within the game.

    Much like what another reviewer said in his/her piece, the time to play Death Stranding is now, the playground is at its infancy but like many pioneers before us, those brave enough to take the risks will be rewarded with an experience rarely enjoyed through this wonderful medium called video games. To this end, I applaud Hideo Kojima for being able to bring his visions to this AAA budget project while still be willing to take the risks of making such a unique gem.

But it’s definitely not a game for everyone. The idea of bringing everyone together in both your main story and your a-sync multiplayer is brilliant, but unfortunately will fail to engage people who just want to run and shoot. The game isn’t about combat or dominating the other team, it’s about thought and understanding how and where to and build items that will not only help you but others. It’s sad that the game isn’t recognized more for its uniqueness and ingenuity. It’s not a perfect game. The cryptic storytelling and odd character names break the immersion at times.… Expand

    Firstly, this game is NOT for everyone. If your game collection is a blur of FIFA, COD etc then you should probably give this one a miss. This game require an attention span longer than the average deathmatch duration. Comments like "walking simulator" come from people who never bothered to get beyond the introduction and discover 'other' modes of transport, for example.

    For those who appreciate a narrative adventure that rewards persistence, logic and ingenuity - this could be right up your street. It's a vast, hauntingly beautiful game with an immersive story and unique game mechanics that will appeal to the fastidious poet in anyone who can wade through the swamp of XBox-scented zero score review bombing, citing 'pretension' as a substituted word for 'Not a rehash of every Action/FPS trope in the book' or simply 'Not available on XBox' as so often is the case.

    This is a game for relaxing into, enjoying a narrative experience and problem-solving your way across a vast landscape. Find yourself at a cliff-edge by mistake? good thing you brought those ropes to rappel down. See a good shortcut? use your kit to fashion a route and leave it there for other players to benefit.

    It is a leap outside the norm, and the backlash towards it just a symptom of the dull-eyed conformity that keeps EA and Treyarch is business. Make your own mind up.

    I think Kojima could improve some aspects of the game and make it more fluid in some aspects, making it less annoying (cutscenes). The enemies could be more "motivated" and make the game more challenging.
    Aside from those remarks, the game is fantastic, the story is really good and the soundtrack and the scenery are amazing too.

It began to grown on me after episode 3. The game starts to pick up and I gradually started to love it more and more as it became more diverse and engaging, it became addictive almost. It's so weird how my opinion changed on the game just like that. The problem is first impressions are a big thing, which will turn a lot of people away. But if you stick with it, I think you'll find it was worth the effort and you'll be glad you played it. After completing the story I adore it. Think of it as like watching a TV show. It takes a few episodes until you really get invested in it. However, the many tedious and frustrating hours I got from this game is a major flaw, which is why this isn't a 9 or a 10. A persons time is valuable and many people simply won't have the patience to sit through this game to it's conclusion. Regardless, this was a great experience that I do not regret and I'm keen to return to it in the near future and finish rebuilding America. Especially the roads, that's my priority. Can't wait to see how it will look when I'm done.… Expand

    The game was slow to begin with alot of cutscenes when I just wanted to get into gameplay but now I am really enjoying it and keep coming back to play, I got so excited when I unlocked vehicles lol but I didn't even mind the walking (it's not a walking simulator) I love all the micromanaging aspects of the game and the way Kojima has integrated the online is so cool the story is very interesting and keeping me involved. I'm not sure where everyone's getting this "obsessive advertisement" from have they even played the game? There is small amount of advertising when you visit your private room with 5 cans of monster energy on the table but they actually have a purpose you drink them for extra stamina and when Reedus takes a poop the doors advertise Norman Reedus rides on amc which I actually thought was funny didn't bother me at all people are making a big deal out of absolutely nothing.

    And one last thing and probably the most surprising and best I have been playing since day one and have not experienced one bug the world is massive but nope not one it's great to see such a well polished game released, normally if I buy day one it's riddled with bugs so I was so surprised, Kojima should be proud just of that he has done a very good job here and other developers should take note that you don't need to rush and release a buggy mess I think we appreciate it more if it's finished to perfection which this game is, I will be playing this game for a long time I absolutely love it.    … Expand

    Death Stranding is one of Kojima's best game, it starts of slowly introducing the world & the game mechanics. The game picks up once you connect to the chiral network, it is at this point you realize how good the social strand system is. You can build & even upgrade others structures, give likes & thus this creates a homologous system in which give & take is the main principle.

The game picks up once you connect to the chiral network, it is at this point you realize how good the social strand system is. You can build & even upgrade others structures, give likes & thus this creates a homologous system in which give & take is the main principle. At certain points when it was difficult I was able to progress the game thanks to the various structures left behind by other players. The whole game world is filled with the players structures & it is a sight to behold.

    The story is the main highlight of this game, it is incredible & will put you in the edge of your seat at certain points. The story has many surprising plot twists & is so good that it would be a great Sci-fi movie of it's own.
    The performance by all the characters & the actors portraying them are excellent aspecially Cliff & Die Hardman's performance. It rivals even some movie's performance. The game's graphics is one of the best to be seen on a PS4 yet, the facial animations,textures all are incredible & as a whole this is a very beautiful game to look at visually.

    The gameplay is addictive & fun to play once you get a hang off it, I would spend countless hours delivering so that I can get that perfect 5 stars & it is very satisfying to do so.
    It took me over 85 hours to complete the game & I loved every moment of it, I honestly didn't expect the game to be this good. But ofcourse it's not a perfect game there are some flaws with some gameplay ideas & mechanics for that I reduced 1 point but still I consider this game to be a Masterpiece. The final act of this game will always be one of the best gaming moments in my life. It was quiet epic to say the least.
    As a whole I love this game & is my second most favorite game by Kojima after MGS 3.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Death Stranding is a kojima product at its finest.

    Whilst the story starts off slow and fragmented as the first episodes are used to introduce you to the world and the way the network functions. After the, fairly large, third episode it starts to pick up the pace. Then the final few episodes are amazing throwing twist after twist until you reach the climatic ending where you save the earth from the last EE(Extinction event). During this moment there is a cheesy speech about staying connected but overall it was a great ending.

    After the credits there's another 1-2hrs of story where you find out about the entire backstory of your bb (I'll leave this twist to you) with another conclusion that was perfect for the whole setting after the ending of the main story and it leaves the game open for the possibility of a sequel whilst also being satisfying enough to be left as is.

    Gameplay wise, I don't expect death Stranding to be for everyone. I'm going to put it out there right now, the games gameplay for a large portion is just being a delivery guy. But, those moments where you're fighting BTs or in a boss fight easily provide enough variation to keep you satisfied through the sometimes long gaps between story segments.    … Expand

    The game looks and runs beautifully on a regular ps4. The game is a literal UPS/USPS simulator but with guns and bombs and more tools at your disposal with rhe addition of ghosts(bt's). Some people might find this boring and some people might find it satisfying to deliver the packages safely to their location.
    I believe that the people giving the game under a 6 is either a hater of kojima or just plain casual gamers who went in expecting this game to be like a ghost recon or cod type of game. Unfortunately those of you were wrong lol.
    Now, i give this game a 7.5/10 because it's repetitive nature of the beginning. And the positive of great actors, voice acting, amazing story and lack of bugs (so far after 20hrs no bugs). Other than that it's a solid game you should buy when in sale if you're skeptical. So if you read this review thank you and have a wonderful night/day.    … Expand

    While certainly being revolutionary in the way the game connects other players, it certainly isn't for everyone. I personaly find great satisfaction in going from point A to B, while carefuly planning the most effective route and trying to avoid dangers, the systems are rather shallow and first 10-12 hours of the game have pacing issues, because you don't have access to better equipmentWhile certainly being revolutionary in the way the game connects other players, it certainly isn't for everyone.

    The world is bleak and depressingly empty which can detract many people as well, since the exploration isn't as rewarding as for example Legend of Zelda: BotW.
    If you're looking for deep gameplay and adrenaline driven experience, avoid by miles. The story and social features are worth it though.    … Expand

    It's a great game. I am 33 years old and this game is perfect for me!
    It's a pity that the scenario suffers because of Hideo Kojima's inexperience in linking the key moments of the game plot.

    The story of the game is definitely breathtaking, the side quest’s are sometimes annoying due to the similarity of them, the multiplayer is very interesting because for the first time in a game your assisting other player's and not killing them and last but not least the graphics & the realism are truly on another level.

    10v10 for the first 8 hours. This is not a game. It creates more feelings than a film. This is nothing for the average COD or AC Gamer. I think this is something for book readers, for people that think that games can be considered as a form of art.

    It is a great game and clearly need time to learn the game mechanic to turly enjoy the game.
    Just like in other game, you face obstacle. But instead of people try kill you, nature and npc try to stop you form deliver. It the same objective-and-obstacle-thing but present in different way.

    Очень красивая игра. Но не для каждого. После работы расслабиться на часок другой идеально.

    It is the first elitist game I see. It is not developed for the average gamer, it is not easy to digest, it is complicated, it does not seek to have action, it seeks to teach, it seeks to harmonize, enjoy the trip, reflect, reinterpret death, leave a mark. It is for casual players over 30, to play by candlelight and drinking wine. It's elitist, it's the game that Hideo Kojima would playIt is the first elitist game I see.

    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.
