    Death Stranding es un juego que desde el primer minuto te atrapa en su historia y te hace querer saber más de la misma. Sus otros puntos más fuertes son sus gráficos, sobre todo de los paisajes, y los personajes. La jugabilidad es donde más se le puede criticar, sobre todo sus menús y repetitividad.

    (After ~140 hrs) The physics of everything is awful. I don't know if it's a real shortcoming or a part of the Great Kojima's Plan. Everything else is beautiful. The only game where I enjoyed reading long texts :)

    Excelente juego, gráficos, música, animaciones, actuaciones y demás sublimes, la historia un poco rebuscada y pretenciosa, algunas entregas se siente repetitivas, pero el aspecto online de ayuda de otras personas es gran complemento, amo y odio este juego

Pero quitando eso, me parece bastante buena y original; al igual que los personajes, siendo Sam, el protagonista, el más interesante. La banda sonora también me parece muy buena, optando por poner ciertos temas musicales en ciertos momentos mientras avanzas por el mundo. El mundo abierto está muy conseguido, con zonas diferenciadas de otras. En este caso, tenemos zonas verdes, zonas de nieve y zonas más desérticas. A nivel gráfico cumple las expectativas gracias al motor Décima de Guerilla. En cuanto a la jugabilidad, que la gente lo ha criticado por ser un walking simulator, no me ha disgustado. No solamente es andar de un punto a otro, sino que hay que ver la mejor ruta posible para llegar antes y sin correr peligro, porque el mundo está poblado de esos entes varados. En llegar a cierto punto del mapa, podemos abrir zona y ver los puntos interesantes y así organizar la ruta. Hay que tener cuidado ya que los caminos no son fáciles: hay rocas, desniveles, acantilados, etc. que hay que evitar o sortear para llegar a tu destino. Para ello, contamos con un exoesqueleto para facilitarnos el viaje, además de cuerdas, vehículos y más cosas. En cuanto al combate es sencillo, golpes cuerpo a cuerpo y con las armas disponibles abatimos a enemigos. No los podemos matar porque si lo hacemos tenemos que quemar el cuerpo o provocaremos una explosión y la zona será un cráter. Evidentemente, el juego tiene muchas más cosas, que tampoco voy a explicar ya que hay que descubrirlo al jugarlo. Uno de los puntos más fuertes e interesantes es el componente online, que no hace falta PS Plus y que consiste en que entre todos los jugadores construyamos carreteras, tirolinas, puntes para llegar a los destinos con más facilidad. Si la gente no ayuda, la aventura es mucho más difícil. Creo que es uno de los puntos más importantes del juego y es algo en lo que Kojima hizo bastante hincapié. Muy recomendable para vivir una experiencia diferente al resto. Expand

    Exquisite it's the adjective I' ll apply to describe this unique and amazing game, I remember my first impact on the landscape, "Omg this is so beautiful", we have all in this experience, terror, drama, adventure, "the power of the porters community" only a few know what I'm talking about, and the path to the unknown, the soundtrack is also amazing. Its a must try/play game.

Многие,наверно, сочли бы это за минус, но для меня это плюс, ведь во время прохождения ты можешь анализировать абсолютно всю ситуацию и представлять как бы ТЫ сделал на месте Сэма. К сожалению многие игры сейчас просто ставят тебя перед "Смотри, это-хорошо, а это-плохо. Убивай плохое" Но эта же игра расставляет всё по полочкам, и ты можешь всё как и понять, так и не понять и обидеться на игру. Например я в своё время после прохождения на 100% гуглил какие-то непонятные аспекты сюжета, но как по мне это лишь добавляет шарма игре. Expand

    Primero que nada, visualmente el juego es extraordinario, nada mas que decir sobre eso. La historia es buena y con un par de personajes con los que puedes llegar a empatizar, el sondtrack es muy bueno.

    De verdad puedo entender porque a mucha gente no le gusta, las primeras 4 o 5 horas son mas que nada cinemáticas y muy poco gameplay, sin embargo después de pasar eso para mi el juego se vuelve interesante y adictivo, literalmente eres un repartidor que tiene que reconectar el mundo con sus entregas en diferentes estaciones del mapa. Como ya dije a mucha gente no le gusta porque se esta acostumbrado a tener acción sin parar, balaceras, matanzas, etc, bueno pues si buscas eso este juego no es el caso, es mas, ni siquiera tienes como hacerle frente a los enemigos que aparecen por el camino, careces de armas y recursos para defenderte, en la mayoría de lo casos, si no es que en todos, tienes que usar el sigilo para pasar por la zona, si prefieres el sigilo en juegos que te ofrecen la opción de enfrentar a los enemigos o pasar desapercibido, si te gusta administrar recursos, si te gusta explorar, si te gusta recolectar cosas, si eres de esos que después de terminar un juego o durante la historia te gusta recorrer el mapa recolectando cosas, haciendo cosas secundarias, etc, te va a gustar, si prefieres la acción desenfrenada, olvídalo no lo compres. Otra cosa que me gustó fue la interacción con otros jugadores, si bien no es un juego en linea me parece excelente todo los que los demás hacen por ti o tu haces por ellos en tu mundo

    Le pongo 9 porque hay ciertos aspectos que no me gustaron de la jugabilidad y se podían mejorar, como el paso por terrenos difíciles en transporte o caminando o el escalar montañas, a veces es frustrante tratar de pasar por esos terrenos tratando de acortar camino , la armas que se proporcionan aunque no son letales me parecen curiosas y novedosas, sin embargo creo que se debió de ampliar la variedad de ellas y poner una letal mas pronto en el juego, ya que a veces las mulas son innevitables. Otra cosa que no me gusto fue el principio como dije antes, es muy lento, pierden mucho tiempo tratándote de explicar a detalle la historia y los acontecimientos que llevaron al mundo a esa situación, pudo haber sido mas corto.

    En conclusión es un buen juego para cierto sector, como en todo hay gustos, es un juego complicado sobretodo de entender, pero ya que le agarras el gusto no hay vuelta atrás, te sigues. Si vas a probarlo no vayas con la mentalidad de que eres un uber eats, déjate llevar y disfruta de los caminos y los enemigos, administrando tus cargas, analizando rutas y ayudando a otros jugadores, a estas alturas ya lo puedes encontrar a un precio mas accesible.

    Combat is generally pretty basic, and i generally enjoyed it as it's not the focus of the game (not a fan of controller shooting games).
    There are some times where the game does drag a little, and i had a short point where I just wanted to finish it. Though I also did spend a lot of time fleshing out the 'network' rather than relying so much on the 'shared' constructions. But after learning of the world, reading all the 'interviews' then carrying on with the story, i didn't want it to end.

It is from this point on that you get to know the unique and magical lore of this game that involves a simple concept to an incredible conclusion that answers all your questions in a journey full of emotions, incredible characters and difficulties to be overcome. I can't go into details because spoilers would ruin the experience.

    gameplay: No, it is not a walking simulator. The game largely focuses on crossing terrains, there are numerous ways and as the game progresses you gain new and useful technologies to customize your map making your life easier and helping other players. There are also several action sessions where you can use firearms and other weapons you use ... well, other things like projectiles. Enemies range from humanoid soldiers to giant creatures that look like they came out of a Japanese movie. There is a lot of variation in what you can do, from basic needs to leaving various fun interactions for other players while you find the ones they left for you.

    art: While the game has a more realistic footprint, it is interesting to note that several designs and scenarios are extremely more beautiful and more interesting than real landscapes. The characters also have an unusual design that is very well done.

    soundtrack: Imagine Bloodborne meets Cyberpunk, boss fights have this type of synthwave music in epic proportions, the songs from other points in history can vary well between drama and the wonder of discovering new mysteries and places. ALSO, we have Hideo Kojima's playlist that brings us unique experiences with real bands in reflective moments in the game that you will never forget.

I also encountered some inconsistencies with traversal which caused me to fall. But this doesn't happen often and the game saves generously. Please ignore the majority of negative reviews. I wish I had sooner. Because its mostly people who obviously didn't finish the game. No, this isn't MGS, this is Death Stranding. Expand

    The story is in true Kohima fashion - mysterious and extremely unique. As a completionist, I felt at times disconnected from the complex story. If I had stuck to the main objectives in closer succession to one another I would have been fully engaged. (I believe this is a problem in all open world games, not just Death Stranding. The story is unparalleled and is a must for those who love psi-fi and horror-esq material.

    I got the platinum for this game. If you had asked me my score up one completion it would have been a 10/10. However, after sitting on it for some time I have realized that this is not a game for everyone. You can not pick this up like you can an Assassins Creed, Call of Duty, Mario Kart, or Spider-Man and love it. It takes patience, appreciation for a story, and time (something that professional game critics do not have, in my opinion). I spent 200 hours in this game.

    This game deserves a good score for its beauty, unique story, and attempt to do what others have not done before - and for doing it decently.

    I completely get why people don't like this game, its a niche experience and it just so happens to really appeal to me. If you like simple yet rewarding game systems where you are rewarded for preparing equipment beforehand and careful planning that can pay off sometimes hours down the line then this is for you. If that sounds kind of boring then STAY AWAY!.

    The Good: Rewarding game
    I completely get why people don't like this game, its a niche experience and it just so happens to really appeal to me. If you like simple yet rewarding game systems where you are rewarded for preparing equipment beforehand and careful planning that can pay off sometimes hours down the line then this is for you. If that sounds kind of boring then STAY AWAY!.

    The Good:
    Rewarding game systems for thinking ahead and knowing your surroundings

    Beautiful world and music, seriously these are some of the best looking environments and designs I have seen in the game.

    Every piece of equipment has its place and feels like a genuine upgrade every time you get something new. Who knew building infrastructure could be so fun?

    The struggle and dangers of the world are actually a threat (play on hard), makes completing runs feel all the more satisfying

    Actor performances across the board are great and when the story is focusing on any character beside Amelie its great stuff. One of the biggest character payoffs is just a simple hug, good job Kojima.

    The story is a mixed bag but I found it to be a ultimately positive experience that just overstays its welcome. It also works a lot better the second time around when you know what the characters are talking about and what happens so like I said, a mixed bag.

    Themes of the game, not one person is an island angle is perfect for this kind of experience. Game play reinforces the themes perfectly and Multiplayer is purely cooperative and adds to this as well.

    Its really refreshing to play an apocalyptic game where its ultimately a very human and hopeful experience, would have been the easy option just to go full nihilistic but their is nothing easy about this game.

    The Bad:
    The story, especially in the later parts almost fall apart due to pacing issues. There are too many monologues that ultimately don't matter and the game ends up over explaining itself, especially towards the end. The story focus on how and why things happened far too much when the heart of the game is how characters deal with the problems rather then how they happened in the first place.

    Almost everything to do with Amelie is not terrible but is the source of my issues with the games story.

    Holograms, you will see what I mean

    Getting through the first area game play wise is the worst part of the whole game, very unfortunately as the first level of any game are very important. After that the game improves drastically.

    Too many little animations may seem like a small inconvenience but in the long run it really starts to waste a lot of time, a skip option for the BT alert would be a great start.

    Second time around you really feel those first 10 hours drag due to the lack of equipment. Some sort of NG+ would have worked here where you start with way more then the first time around.

    Conclusion:
    This is a bold game, and a completely unique experience that alone should be applauded even if its not for you. I love this game but I am not blind to its short comings and its far from perfect . Story over explains itself to put it mildly but the characters and game play are the real story tellers here and how they inform the story and themes is the best part of the game.

    You are meant to fall, you are meant to feel frustration and despair but you cannot quit because humanity is worth it. The people you meet, the bridges you build the other players who help you along this long and dangerous road, that is the heart of Death Stranding.

    8/10 Kojima and his team have made something special here but the next time maybe rennin Kojima a little.

    I do not get people who say this game is not fun. Because Death Stranding is one of the funniest games I've played this gen. Genuinely amusing and entertaining at every turn.
    On top of that, the game is full of fresh new ideas and concepts, and the story is fresh too. And the sad fact that 99% of games today are just tired rehashes of old ideas, makes the freshness and uniqueness of Death Stranding stand out even more in a positive way.
    One of the greatest joys of this game was learning. I went in blind, and learned to master the environs and the tools the hard way. It took a VERY long time to really 'get' everything, but once I did, I genuinely felt like the master of the battlefield, able to take any order and deliver it with style. And this was great because in most games today, you can learn the ropes in five minutes, so to have something genuinely challenging to play is AWESOME.
    So, if the game is so brill, why I gave it mere 9 and not 10?
    Well, its because of the game world. The world in Death Stranding is extremely barren, and there really is nothing whatsoever to see in it, except for half dozen tiny ruins. Now, some say its because timefall has eroded all away, but if this is so, how come there are certain ruins, unprotected from timefall, that still stand almost intact?
    No, I suspect that the game world was left barren because Kojima intended it to be rebuild full of life by players in the online game. But when the game got such bad reception, Kojima dropped the whole idea and left it as is. Well, whatever the reason, the barrenness of the game world really eats you away, and that's from someone who is used to playing JRPGs that have painfully barren maps...
    Other issue is that there is no real PS4Pro enhancement here. I first played thru the game on regular PS4 when it came out. And now I replayed thru it on PS4Pro. And was shocked to see no difference between the two 'versions'. No real visual enhancement, just bit better framerate, is all that Pro gives me. Disappointing. So, hence 9/10
    Still this game is genuine masterpiece, and one everyone should play thru. Even if it hurts. And if Kojima was ever to see this review, well, thank you for giving us the most unique, and one of the best, game of the generation. If all devs had such vision and ability, our gaming lives would be so much more fascinating and fulfilling.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I bought this game with the special addition ps4 pro and even though it took me quite a while to beat it , I throughly enjoyed it. Calling it a walking simulator is true at times but I honestly enjoyed putting in the effort to find the best ways to make deliveries and finding ways to make it easier for myself and others that were connected to the same server as I was. The story is spoon fed to you which I did find just a little annoying but after every cutscene it just made me want to continue to see how the story unfolded. I did get max with all facilities in the game just because that is the type of player that I am and I feel if I did not do that I would have completed the game much sooner but there is a sense of accomplishment from doing that and getting the trophy that says only 4% of players actually did it. The ending of the game did a nice job explaining most things about the story and the final cutscene of the main story with Sam and Lou walking away from the incinerator was one of the most touching things I have ever seen from a video game . Couple that with the amazing song choice for the ending cutscene and I could not help but shed some tears at the ending . You truly get attached to your BB. This game is not for everyone, if all you want is action and combat , look elsewhere. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If it wasn't for the pandemic, I would give the game a 6.5/10. But thanks to the immense boredom of self-quarantine, I invested enough time into the game to actually understand the story. But once I did, I absolutely loved the game!!! I'll be honest, the fun doesn't really start until you're at the middle of the game. And the game mechanics are more-or-less based on reality, so action sequences don't have the best gaming dynamics. However, if they really chose to go the "reality" way, I don't get how a person could possibly carry upwards of 100kgs of cargo on their back and manage to travel uphill.

    But boy, it gets to you towards the end... pretty deep stuff. I even shed a tear when the game got over. The final stretch of the game is when you really learn more stuff about the characters and how they became what they are.
    I just feel like the action sequences could use better combat mechanics, especially during boss fights where Sam (protagonist) gets knocked down and gets eaten before even getting a chance to get up and move.

    My advice to a first time player: yes, its mostly deliveries, but each delivery has new and interesting challenges. If you put enough time into the game, you won't be disappointed. Its certainly not a combat-first game, but it doesn't disappoint.

    Um dos melhores jogos que já joguei. Gráficos muito bons e a história sem duvida é absolutamente interessante. A trilha sonora é muito boa e combina muito com a estética do jogo. Parabéns kojima pela obra de arte.

    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.
