    Death stranding is a game that many will enjoy and many will not, but I personally loved it and it’s themes of connection and how it’s tied into the gameplay with the network that you work to expand and the delivery’s that you make across all sorts of different environments The story is fairly convoluted up until the mid to end point where everything comes together and starts to make senseDeath stranding is a game that many will enjoy and many will not, but I personally loved it and it’s themes of connection and how it’s tied into the gameplay with the network that you work to expand and the delivery’s that you make across all sorts of different environments The story is fairly convoluted up until the mid to end point where everything comes together and starts to make sense But the game isn’t perfect it can sometimes feel like busywork and some story could probably be cut out with not much changing however I still find the gameplay to be fun imo and relaxing with a very interesting and pretty to look at environment but all in all it’s obviously a very divisive game that sets out to do something different and a story that I think is very interesting and very enjoyable to play through although some may think it’s stupid or pretentious and I can see where they’re coming from on that note so I think an 8 is a perfect score for the game objectively subjectively tho this is a 9 for me… Expand

Maybe not    Not without glaring flaws this game illustrates the massive growing divide within gaming as seen with its review scores.

    By itself Death Stranding is a great and complex story built around a highly repetitive and mostly tedious gameplay mechanic. That mechanic however reinforces the narrative progression.

    You see on one hand reviewers fawn over it because the story is good. Maybe not for the average summer blockbuster movie goer, but if you appreciate thought provoking, nuanced story telling with depth and complexity its one of the best stories in a video game. However to get to that content you will have to drag yourself along a particularly tedious road of repetitive and elementary game play.

    Narrative it makes perfect sense and it helps add to the world building aspect but its on par with understanding the inherent beauty of a fractal by working through the mathematical computations required to make it exist.

    On the other hand you see reviewers absolutely eviscerate it citing boring and repetitive delivery quests. These are the same types of gamers who any game you put in front of them will skip all the cut scenes to get to the game play mechanics, then wonder why the game they played was unsatisfying.

    The irony is that all game play mechanics are repetitive and tedious regardless of the game. Especially if there is no motivation to do them over and over and over again. What "fun" is there to be had in doing the same thing you've literally done a thousand times before. Einstein defined what that is quite aptly. So it is strange to see these ethletes complaining about how boring a game like this is when all they are seeking out is the most boring and uninteresting element of any video game in the first place.

    So Death stranding is a good game. It simply is not a good game for everybody. It is a good story driven game for gamers. It has absolutely nothing of interest for ethletes who are just killing time till the next CoD/D2/Forkknife patch is released.

    Ultimately the game would have been better received had it been scaled back in scope and paced better. The game is simply too long. Thus needed cutting out a huge chunk of unneeded run time for a playthrough. Somewhere at about a 10-15 hour jaunt would have been much more ideal for this sort of adventure. With such revision the public response would have been infinitely more positive than what we got.    … Expand

    Beyond a breath of fresh air. Death Stranding revitalizes what it is to game. With brilliant graphics, vibrant music, and intuitive controls one is on a precipice to experience the most unique deeply conceptualized world. In a era of games where quality is high but individuality is low Death Stranding came to the rescue.

    This Game is just great. The atmosphere, the soundtrack and graphics were superb. The story was a little hard to follow at times but also really solid. The gameplay loop was addicting to me. It just isn‘t for everyone.

    Death Stranding is the latest game from Hideo Kojima and its safe to say that its his most divisive game yet. While many people criticize the game for being a repetitive and tedious chore of a game, i actually quite enjoyed the game from time to time, even when its boring. The gameplay largely involves of walking from point A to point B, and just from that alone, i can see why alot ofDeath Stranding is the latest game from Hideo Kojima and its safe to say that its his most divisive game yet. While many people criticize the game for being a repetitive and tedious chore of a game, i actually quite enjoyed the game from time to time, even when its boring. The gameplay largely involves of walking from point A to point B, and just from that alone, i can see why alot of people dont like the game. But even then, i just got attached to the gameplay loop and it actually got pretty addicting, the reason being that its probably because of the risk and reward that the game offers.

    The open world and the traversal kinda reminded me of Breath Of The Wild which is kinda weird seeing that DS's open world is pretty barren compared to BOTW's, but i think thats why i really like it, but i probably wouldnt have liked the open world or hell, the game as a whole as much if it werent for the online system that the game has. In my opinion, this is an online system done really well for a single-player focused game. Its pretty similiar to the online system of Dark Souls but its more akin to Nier: Automata in my opinion, where players can help each other by donating their items for other players or create structures together so everybody can use it. Its actually a pretty good system once you understand how it works.

    Now, since this is a Kojima game, we of course have to talk about the story. From the moment this game was announced back in 2016, the story was what intrigued me the most, and well what do i think of it? Well after years of waiting, In my opinion, the story of Death Stranding is just not as good as Kojima's previous works. Its better than MGS V that's for sure, but when comparing it to Mgs 1, 2, 3, and even 4 to a certain extent, there's just something missing that i'm not really sure what it is. That being said though, i still like the story as a whole when it introduces new and interesting concepts just not when its being overly pretentious at times. Though if you are currently playing the game, i highly suggest you complete it, even if you dont like the gameplay loop and the earlier story segments because the game and the story in particular really gets bettter towards the end and around the 20-ish hour mark is where the story got really interesting in my opinion.

    One last thing i wanna mention in this review is the soundtrack, which is probably the best thing about the game in my opinion besides the visuals. There are some really great moments in the game that i dont wanna spoil that wouldn't have work as good if the music werent there. From the OST's to the songs from Low Roar, it's really awesome and it adds so much to the game's atmosphere.

    So to round up this review, Death Stranding is a game that i really enjoyed even with its faults. The story is great even though its obnoxiously pretentious at times. The gameplay loop, while boring at times, can be pretty addicting thanks to its world design and online system. The visuals are really great and can be mesmerizing even though there's no day-night cycle which is a a shame. And the soundtrack is the best that i've heard all year. I really wanted to gave this game a 9 or hell it could even be a 10 at some point, but there's just quite a few problems holding it back from being a 9 or a 10, which is why i'm giving this an 8. i wanted to give it an 8.5 but unfortunately metacritic doesnt allow decimal review user scores.    … Expand

Si se analiza este juego podría caer dentro de la categoría simulador (si..walking simulator, aunque trekking simulator es mas apropiado) y como todo simulador requiere paciencia, tranquilidad, estudio, preparación y práctica para lograr mejorar. Finalmente cuando logras entregar la carga de la misión y todas las cargas que te atreviste a recoger durante el trayecto te sientes realizado y mas aún cuando sabes que hay mas jugadores haciendo lo mismo y de alguna u otra forma hiciste su trayecto un poco mas fácil dejandoles una ayudita.

    Brillante y Hermoso.

All the time you achieve small and big victories by defeating envoirment and making delieveris.

    Death Stranding is a serene strategic, world building game. Through the delivery of desperately desired cargo, Sam Bridges connects a devastated and fractured world caused by what is called, The Death Stranding. This game contains the same elements that you will find in most movies and television programs. The actors take their jobs very seriously by giving their best efforts in order to make the world around you, the player, a sense of urgency and importance. This is very much a game about a man who makes deliveries. Those deliveries, one by one, make the world whole. The further in you go, the more the game has to offer to you. Walking turns to running, running turns into a motorcycle. The empty land becomes filled. Filled with trails, ladders, bridges, and more. Things you did not build will help you along the way; making your trek possible. You thank other players who have come before you, making a passage for you. Sometimes to climb, sometimes to rappel down. You are a pathfinder. you make a way for people to follow and you contribute to the creation of the new world.

    Enemies become more and more of a threat - sneaking turns into battles. You begin to hunt the MULEs, you begin to hunt BTs.

    People who claim that this game is monotonous did not play this game. People who rate this game lower than 4, did not play this game. Death Stranding has a massive map and tons of enemies. A great story, impressive lore, and strong gameplay. However, this game is not for everyone. Patience is definitely a virtue    … Expand

    Death Stranding is video game poetry. As such, it is not for everyone. The first few hours are too heavy on the cut-scenes, although I found the story and execution fantastic. After that, you will find an expansive, meditative game, with landscape as obstacle, puzzle, and challenge. Also worth noting, the conceptual design, from the vastness of the territory, to the architecture, to the smallest objects and gadgets, is extraordinary.
    This is a game that may have been wrongfully marketed for the mainstream audience, and it won't appeal to much of it. Hey, some people even find Red Dead Redemption 2 boring, so go figure.

    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.
