    Gamplay divertente e che riesce a dimostrare come si possano rendere interessanti anche le missioni più noiose dei tipici open word. Trama coinvolgente e intrigante.
    Peccato per uno shooting non ottimale e per un intelligenza artificale che non all altezza.

    Even with seemingly simple tasks, Kojima was able to make them addictive. I love the world depicted, the story, the acting. The game is also beautiful from the audio-visual side

    I will tag along with all those that call this game a masterpiece. It is so worth spending 40-50h playing, and you wish it would last longer. The story is very intricate and the characters are so deep and well done, they're realistic.

    Gorgeous storyline of the game! A beautiful and mysterious open world! Fully uncovered storylines of all characters! Whoever writes that he did not understand the game, then it was not even halfway through! Yes, the gameplay is unusual, but then it becomes very addictive. You begin to think over the path, what to take with you, what to travel on. Kojima is a genius !!!!

Some will find the gameplay boring because large parts of it are traversing from point A to point B, and the occasional stealth or combat sections are serviceable but nothing special.

    I personally loved it because many of its mechanics were intrinsically rewarding to me. Long walks with beautiful scenery, a brilliant score scattered throughout the adventure and an inventory management system with a lot of depth made the journey very enjoyable for the full 100 hours it took me to get the platinum. The story is very good, though despite the solid acting and notable cast, the writing could be better and the plot doesn't really begin to click until fairly late into the game. Nevertheless the pay-off is spectacular.

    Most of the time you will be trekking long paths with nothing and no one accompanying you, and the brilliant music starting at just the right time can feel like a hard earned reprieve from the bitter loneliness, like someone has just put their arm around you when you haven't felt human interaction for months on end.

    I don't wholly agree with people branding this a 'walking simulator', but there are elements of simulation which more closely resemble a 'delivery logistics simulator'. If you are into this type of inventory micromanagement and a high degree of choice in how you approach these deliveries, no other game does this better. From choosing gear, equipment, how pieces of cargo are arranged on your back, which route to take, where to strategically take shelter from the corrosive rain, how to best avoid enemies and just how much you can carry from A to B. There is a brilliantly subtle risk/reward aspect to each delivery. Do you attempt to take as much cargo as possible over the shortest distance and risk losing or damaging it when encountering enemies, or do you take the longer route and bring sufficient gear to craft shelters along the way, meaning that you can carry less cargo?

    The progression is also fantastic, while some portions of the game can feel like a grind especially if going for all the trophies or achievements, this grind is rewarded with cosmetic items, and levelling up all the facilities unlocks aspects of the game intended to make it easier, like vehicles, equipment or materials that can be used to construct structures and roads. By the end of the game, it becomes less of a walking sim and more like you have successfuly built a delivery company from the ground up, your success entirely attributable to the hard work you have put in to get to this place.

    I encourage everyone to give this game a try, it's not only unlike anything else you will likely ever play, but on the off chance that any of what I've just described resonates with you, will provide an unforgettable experience.    … Expand

    Death Stranding is a unique experience and I don’t think we’ve seen anything quite like it before. It certainly has flaws, but I think If you have the patience for it, it’s a really cool experience that left me with some great memories. I completely understand why some people may hate it, but for me, I thought it was really cool. And god damn that soundtrack is amazing.

    Death Stranding es un juego lento, complicado, distinto a todos, difícil de entender. Pero justamente esto es lo que hace que termine siendo uno de los mejores exclusivos de la generación: Se arriesgó a ser muy diferente a lo que muchos imaginaban y cuenta una historia que se cocina a fuego lento.

    Con el correr de las horas uno se va metiendo más y más en la piel de Sam (Norman Reedus), su relación con BB y la necesidad urgente de re conectar América.
    Las últimas 10 horas son una verdadera obra maestra. Con varios giros maravillosos en la historia, al final todo termina cerrando de una manera increíble y sin la necesidad de dejar cabos sueltos.
    Mención aparte para la tremenda interpretación de varias de las estrellas que forman parte del cast, los gráficos y la banda sonora que nos acompaña en este mundo desolado.

The gameplay has little to no variation in this regard. ThisDeath Stranding is a game you cannot simply recommend to anyone. It's a game with moments of triumphant euphoria and others with dreadfully boring tasks in the way. The gameplay and the story's goals is pretty simple; Deliver packages between different stations in a dystopian future of America in order to reconnect the country. The gameplay has little to no variation in this regard. This results in tedious pacing in different spots, most notably in the beginning hours after the prologue. After TEN HOURS the gameplay decides to innovate and introduce new mechanics, but that hurdle beforehand can put off many players. That's not to say those first ten hours are entirely horrible; Consistently beautiful landscapes consist within this world, which are a sight to behold, stretching for miles and miles and almost all of it is availabe for the player to reach. Once those ten hours are passed, the gameplay becomes more interesting, introducing road building and new vehicles, which make traversal easier, and in this world it really helps to have them. The lands of Death Stranding are inhabitaded with harsh environments and dangerous enemies, stretching from terrorists trying to steal your cargo to BTs (Beached Things) that ruin your day by harming your packages and making the player face off giant beasts. However, BTs ends up being less scary, since the player most of the time gets a chance to run away and not be punished in any way for their actions. Action scenes also feel awkward, because the jumping feels weird to say the least and aiming doesn't feel accurate and sharp. Where the gameplay shines is in the traversal and exploration. The fun comes from overcoming obstacles in the open world with the technology at your disposal. Death Stranding introduces a new mechanic in online structures from other people's constructions appearing in your game. This can help you overcome large mountains and giant chasms with no problem. The same way their structures can spawn in your world, yours can appear in theirs, and it ends up working as a collaborative project to traverse the environment through roads, vehicles and ziplines. It's obvious a huge production has worked on this game, and that is most prevalent in the games story. Performances across the board are terrific, from Norman Reedus as Sam to Léa Seydoux as Fragile to Troy Baker as Higgs to Mads Mikkelsen as Cliff, everyone including previously mentioned actors do a great job at their work. The characters, however, aren't all fully developed. While some characters like Die-Hardman (Tommie Earl Jenkins) and Heartman (Nicholas Winding Refn, Darren Jacobs) are rather developed, other characters like Fragile, Higgs, Mama (Margaret Qually) and Sam, the main character, are missing the depth needed to get us truly invested in their well-being, and the things we learn about them aren't fully explained or developed. The actors' charisma saves the characters from being hollow beings of nothing. The most interesting character is Cliff, and that's because his character consists of mystery and intrigue for big parts of the plot and slowly the player learns information about him, making him a satisfying character to learn of. Some characters were just lacking in this department. The thing that made the story also interesting is the situations the plot moved in and the last five hours at such a good pace with incredible writing that it makes you wish the rest of the story could be as consistently entertaining, instead of being a mixed bag. Those last five hours include amazing cinematics grabbing one's attention and investing the player in the scenarios and asking huge questions about humanity and hope in the face of world ending odds. I still understand how this can be a divisive game. It can be a breath of fresh air in a industry of corporal choke holds with its relaxing gameplay or it can be a tedious experience of simplistic mission and horribly paced gameplay. I would say that it falls somewhere in between those two categories. This game falls down to taste. It's neither objectively good nor objectively bad. In the end, only you can decide for yourself whether the game is enjoyable or not. In either case, it's an interesting testament to what is capable of video games and how its industry can be pushed to new genres and ideas.… Expand

The design of the monsters in the game is excellent, the shotting in the game is modest and some weapons if you use them never feel heavy. Artificial intelligence in the game is weak, and the disguise in the game is bad, if you play the game you feel that it is very easy even if you raise the level of difficulty, and if we come to the music in the game, it is legendary and imaginary music and it suits the atmosphere of the game, they created a lot in it, in the end I enjoyed the game a lot And for me it is the game of the year in 2019.… Expand

    This game is a masterpiece in every aspect, story, gameplay, graphics and e.t, playing the first hours maybe is a little hard but after chapter 2 the real map and game begins and game starts to show itself. please don't listen to negative comments about it, this game is a masterpiece and deserves higher score.

This is a hard game to recommend because it depends on what someone wants out of a video game. I enjoyed it.

    This is one of the most diversive games. It's surely is not for everyone. But it is epic! Amazing story, gameplay is chasing from stealth to now action (plus stealth+action on other parts) after Chapter 4, a lot of twist, great character development! Combine these with the amazing graphics and soundtrack and you have one of the best games of this generation!

    Thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Even the gameplay. It was odd at first and I thought I wouldn't enjoy it, but it was actually pretty enjoyable after a while. Also the story and music was top notch. The ending also made me cry. Not everyone's cup of tea but it sure was mine.

    Frustrating, but also very satisfying. It's strange how this game can cause both emotions to co-exist. It's also quite reassuring to know (and see through structures) that you're not playing alone. The landscape is chilling and terrifying, and the long stretches you have to traverse by foot really make your adrenaline pump when you encounter BTs.

I could not put it down, playing over 500 hours straight from release. I am of the belief that most of the negative response to the game was due to internet memes and players that didn't spend much time in the game.

I am of the belief that most of the negative response to the game was due to internet memes and players that didn't spend much time in the game.

    Game experience is best with the online mode enabled.

    Story 9, Gameplay 8, Graphics 10, Music 10

    Now,

    With that said, I realize the game might not be for everyone and isn't without it's flaws. I do think internet memes created a lot of unreasonable bias preventing potential fans from picking up the game. It's far more than a walking simulator, and only takes a few hours to get to your first vehicle in-game. I feel like most people hating on the walking aspect of the game didn't bother to even play it this far. Throughout the game, you get more and more tools to help you deliver packages more efficiently, all but completely negating making deliveries on foot.

    It is more of a delivery simulator, I can kind of agree to that, but the system is designed in a way that it does feel good and doesn't get old for me. I finished the game with over 20 million likes and I can't even remember how many packages I delivered, but it far exceeded what you'd need to do to simply get through the game. And that's something I admired about the game actually, a player could choose how much they wanted to do and play. If you wanted to just do the story, you could get through the game fairly quick and ignore a great majority of the game.

    In addition to phenomenal cutscenes and story-telling, the game did a fantastic job integrating the game mechanics into the story itself. There was a reason behind earning 'likes' and it played a bit into the motivations of some of the NPCs.

    The game's greatest strength, in my opinion, is the atmosphere it creates for the player. Everything contributes via the story telling and attention to detail. You really do feel isolated out there traveling from point A to B. And for a long time, encounters with BTs stayed spooky as hell. Stepping into a new region to have a beautiful soundtrack play caused me to slow down and take it all in as the song played. I was attached to every single moment spent in the game and I really took my time. I doubt many players spent the time in the game that I did, and I literally did everything getting every achievement and completing every delivery. Any excuse to keep myself immersed in this world.

    Why didn't I give the game a 10? Well, a perfect game simply doesn't exist and I believe a 10 is a disingenuous rating (same with a 0). And the game did have its faults, like the animation that alerted you to entering a BT zone. That got old quick and disrupted the game flow as you could not skip it (I've learned that a later patch, after I stopped playing, addresses that). I think the building structures aspect of the game could use a little more polish and quality of life changes. Wouldn't have minded a GPS auto-drive scenario for travelling main roads and frequented paths. AI behavior could have been a little better, particularly friendly porters travelling around.

    Last thing I want to touch on, despite the beautifully written and acted story, there was a sequence in particular that was godawful and repetitive for no good reason. Doing the same exact action got old after the second or third time and I can't even remember how many times total you had to do it. I felt myself falling out of the story and getting frustrated with that sequence.

    I wish more players gave this game a chance beyond the memes and the first hours before getting to your first vehicle.

    Overall, I'd still give the game a solid 9 and I hope Kojima revisits this world again soon and brings Norman Rheedus back for another story. I can't wait to see what else Kojima does.    … Expand

    It is nice for a change of pace to play a game where I can focus more on the scenery and story than combat.

    That's not to say there is no sense of adventure. Choosing the right route. Planning ahead for multiple loads. Soon enough you'll get vehicles which help a lot.

    It has a very satisfying gameplay loop in which you breathe a sigh of relief every time you make a successful delivery. Getting new equipment to help you on your journey is exciting too.

    It's a game that prizes patience, helping others, and exploration.

    The story is a tale of death and life. Loneliness and human connection. It emphasizes how humans need each other to survive.

    The only reason I'm docking 1 point is for the poorly shoehorned in product placement for monster energy drinks and amc's Ride with Norman Reedus. That and some hokey character names. In both cases they slightly detract from the believability of the world. But they quickly become an afterthought once you get into your rhythm.    … Expand

    Death Stranding gave me the most unusual gaming experience of my whole life. Perhaps this project will be interesting to those who are looking for a game in a meditative genre that can offer an interesting story. Death Stranding's plot really captures and keeps in the dark until the very end. Perhaps my opinion may differ from most, but I would say that this is GOTY 2019.

There’s meta story to find here too about social isolation, connecting with others, as well as selfishness and altruism. I say this with all honesty. The game will most likely not grab you in chapters 1 and 2 because the delivery missions are unfairly cruel; leaving you to spend a lot of the time dragging your sorry butt (sometimes to a crawl) through to your destination and a mission can take what feels like an eternity. As you enter chapter 3, and the story begins to unravel, you’ll find yourself wanting to learn more about this world, about the death stranding phenomenon, about why people fear going out and joining the UCA. As you do this, you’ll want to deliver packages to progress the story and doing so slowly begins to reward you. You get better vehicles, better cargo equipment, better weapons to deal with the human and supernatural threats. Then you start to weigh the pros and cons of fighting these threats or avoiding them (depending on the mission you are in). Before you know it, what annoyed you in the first 2 chapters is rather enjoyable onwards. You keep learning about the world, about your character’s role in all of this and by the end, if the story gets you, you’ll find that you have indeed become emotionally connected to a character and a game that you started pushing away because it was boring at first. But as always, this is it a guarantee that you’ll enjoy this game. It’s a thought experiment for you to break away from typical gameplay loops of 3rd person shooters, 1st person shooters and RPG-like games.

    I'm not a fan of Hideo Kojima. I never finished MGS4 because there was too much story and not enough gameplay. I liked MGSV despite its flaws because it's based mainly on the gameplay.
    Death Stranding was a bold move from the dev. Make a full game around a guy who just delivers package. Yes, like a giant sidequest, with side quests that looks like the other quests.

    But I liked it. For once, it's a "real" walking simulator, you have to be careful how fast you walk, on what you walk, how much weight you have on your back or in your hands. The world was great, and the good graphics help. The story was interesting even if in the last act, it's damn too long (but Kojima loves it). Fun to see famous actors (or directors like Del Toro and Refn) designed in the game.
    I spent almost 100 hours playing it. Was it fun? Death Stranding is not a fun game, it's not supposed to be fun. Was it challenging? Sometimes yes. Was it good? For me yes. I think those kind of games, trying new things, no matter what, and no matter fans expecting are important, and must exist. Does a game needs to be fun? Not really in fact, it depends what the game wants to achieve.
    I liked it, but not for everyone, and you definitely need to know what you're going into. If you want some fast paced action, fun gameplay, run away from it.    … Expand

    Death Stranding é um jogo com uma história fenomenal, o mundo pós apocalipse criado pelo Kojima é uma coisa incrível. Nas primeiras horas de Gameplay o jogo fica bem chato mas com o desenrolar da História o jogo vai ficando ainda mais intenso.

    High addictive game, where you basically run around an open world. There's enough to do while putting off the main story line, but no so much that it drags. The cutscenes are other wordly and the game isworth it for the cutscenes alone. .

    Я понимаю смешанные отзывы, но не понимаю негативные.
    Это игра потрясающая. Невероятный сюжет, но не всем может зайти медитативный геймплей.
    Мне очень понравились моменты, когда ты отправляешься в долгое путешествие и включается музыка, я не встречал такого раньше, но сейчас я прохожу Days Gone и студия, разрабатывавшая его, помогала Kojima Productions в разработке, это очень классно    Я понимаю смешанные отзывы, но не понимаю негативные.

    Мне очень понравились моменты, когда ты отправляешься в долгое путешествие и включается музыка, я не встречал такого раньше, но сейчас я прохожу Days Gone и студия, разрабатывавшая его, помогала Kojima Productions в разработке, это очень классно реализовано.
    Начало сюжета может показаться сумбурным, так как игрока кидают в самою гущу событий и разжёвывают всё постепенно.
    Пройдя игру я мог бы ей поставить 100/100, но отойдя от неё несколько месяцев, могу более здраво оценить её.
    Death Stranding точно заслуживает 8/10, так как глупо отрицать её достижения в технических аспектах и не признавать будоражащий сюжет. В конце концов, не каждая ААА-игра позволит себе кат-сцены на 10,5 часов.
    Я бы остановился на оценке 9/10, но ставлю 10, потому что слишком много отрицательных отзывов, которых игра не заслуживает.    … Expand

    Игра гениальная, такого ещё не было, актеры от играли отлично, саундтрек подобран идеально. Наиграл 100часов и ни капли не скучал. Ни кому советовать игру не буду и навязывать играть то-же. Просто, кто сам дойдёт тот оценит.Игра гениальная, такого ещё не было, актеры от играли отлично, саундтрек подобран идеально. Наиграл 100часов и ни капли не скучал.

    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.
