    This game was long, repetitive, and predictable. The story was weak, but the graphics looked nice.

    Кодзима-гений.
    А если серьёзно - игра потрясающе красива, меланхолично спокойна, чарующе звучащая, просто невероятна. Я не был фанатом игр Хидео и вообще его способов донести мысль, но после этой стал, определённо. Мне кажется, что эта игра ещё срезонирует. Идея, посыл геймдизайнера, его мысль ещё найдут отклик в умах и сердцах людей.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. C'est mon jeu coup de coeur !
    C'est le premier jeu de Kojima auquel je joue (les MGS ne m'ont jamais tenté). Et je dois dire que je n'ai pas été déçue.
    Je ne sais même pas par où commencer cette critique. Les graphismes sont magnifiques, j'ai vraiment eu l'impression de voyager durant ma partie. Le nombre de fois où je commençais à partir pour livrer tel colis, et la musique s'enclenche soudainement, et je reste un moment immobile pour profiter de la musique et des paysages. Car oui, un point extrêmement important : la musique. Que ce soit les chansons que l'on peut entendre tout au long de notre périple, ou les musiques poignantes que l'on peut entendre durant les cinématiques, elles sont toutes incroyables. Encore aujourd'hui, 7 mois après avoir fini le jeu, je les écoute encore (je me souviens que j'avais entendu BB's Theme une première fois en dehors du jeu, et je n'avais pas été emballée, puis quand je l'ai entendu durant ma partie, je ne sais pas si c'est dû au fait que j'étais bouleversée par mes émotions, mais je l'ai adoré (et encore le mot est faible)).
    Le gameplay est peut-être le plus gros point faible de ce jeu (même si toutes ses qualités effacent ce petit défaut). Il est vrai que jouer les FEDEX peut devenir énervant à la longue, mais justement j'ai adoré voir que Sam ressent exactement la même chose que nous. Ensuite, le point qui me chiffonne le plus c'est les ennemis, non pas les échoués, mais les ennemis vivants. Pour ceux qui cherchent juste à nous assomer pour récupérer nos colis, pas de problème ; mais pour ceux qui cherchent à nous tuer, c'est beaucoup plus compliqué, surtout qu'on ne doit pas les tuer, et qu'ils peuvent nous repérer à distance (d'ailleurs je n'ai toujours pas compris quand scanner pour éviter d'être repéré, j'ai tenté plusieurs fois et j'ai toujours pas compris). Par contre, un point positif incroyable c'est l'entraide entre les joueurs. Je me souviens que j'ai été extrêmement heureuse de trouver un abri où m'abriter pour éviter les échoués (et j'ai rincé les joueurs qui les ont créé avec un max de j'aime), ou de trouver une échelle pour traverser une rivière ou monter une montagne sans laquelle j'aurais mis 15 minutes à trouver un chemin praticable. D'ailleurs ce système est tellement bien qu'on commence à vouloir soi-même contribuer (je suis d'ailleurs fière d'avoir contribuer à créer une bonne portion d'une route, d'avoir améliorer certains abris). Ce jeu nous donne vraiment envie de nous balader pour découvrir toutes les surprises que les développeurs ou des joueurs ont pu laisser sur leur passage. Cependant, j'aime l'idée qu'on ne peut pas se balader librement, qu'on est toujours menacé par les échoués, par cette pluie qui peut arriver à tout moment.
    Concernant l'histoire, c'était grandiose. Je crois n'avoir jamais joué à un jeu qui m'a autant intriguée, bouleversée, etc. Au début on a du mal à comprendre qui est qui, ce qu'il se passe, etc. Et au fur et à mesure on comprend, et surtout on s'attache aux personnages qui ont tous une histoire touchante. Rares sont ceux pour lesquels je n'ai pas laché une petite larme. L'histoire de Mama était tragique, mais ce qui m'a émue aux larmes est lorsqu'elle nous a demandé de "couper le cordon". Quand elle nous a demandé ça, je pouvais pas, je hurlais devant ma télé "non tu peux pas me demander ça, je peux pas faire ça". Et au bout de 5 minutes où j'espérais qu'il se passe quelque chose en vain, j'ai coupé le cordon et ça a été tellement dur (d'ailleurs la musique qui est jouée à ce moment reste l'une de mes préférées). Autre moment qui m'a marqué c'est la fin avec BB/Lou. Lorsqu'on a dû aller l'incinérer, j'étais mal, j'étais en PLS, et le BB's Theme n'a rien arrangé. Cette fin était incroyable. C'est l'histoire qui représente pour moi le plus gros d'un jeu, et Death Stranding est un chef d'oeuvre qui manie des concepts philosophiques, scientifiques et des émotions vives, fortes.
    Mon plus grand regret par rapport à ce jeu est qu'il ne soit pas devenu GOTY 2019. Mais pour moi, il restera mon jeu préféré.

    Tristemente la historia es tan compleja y llena de diálogos de exposición que es cansina. Estuve envuelto y atraído por la historia desde su inicio, pero al llegar al tercer acto y parte final del juego, simplemente quería que terminara, estaba cansado, ligeramente fastidiado de la monotonía y de sus extensas escenas finales.

    Eso si, la escena final es muy bella.

    Ok, Kojima, estuvo pasable.

I don’t want to put spoilers here. Yes you deliver items but when you have enemies with no roads and other equipment, you need to figure out how to survive. What I like about this is the deep art put into making this game. Life is like this, you do “simple” tasks but it gets boring or hard depending on your circumstance. You also figure that you can only take what you can carry in life. And the things you built is destroyed in time thus - TIMEFALL. So good. So good. Please see the game for yourself. If it is for you, your money is well spent for a game you can easily play 300 hours with. This is one of my favorite games ever. :) Expand

    This game is so refreshing and unique; it’s not boring if you allow yourself to be engrossed into the world. The story is what makes the traveling fun. I suppose, as Kojima stated, it’s not for Americans as a stereotype. Repetitive action based gameplay is what Americans desire. It can’t require an attention span, because, well, Americans are fixated on short bursts - think online shooters with 15 minute long game rounds, rinse, repeat. I find those games fun too, don’t get me wrong, and I am American, but I can also give myself to the game and become tangled in it’s beautiful web of remarkable storytelling. Death Stranding is a modern marvel; Kojima is our generations Shakespeare.

It was weirdly addicting in a way, the completionist in me went crazy, but at the same time the game was relaxing and satisfying. This was the first time since Red Dead 2 that I played a game that I couldn’t put down! This is a game that I recommend EVERYBODY play through at least once!!

Он зацепил настолько, что я несколько месяцев сидела и ковырялась в нём, жадно собирая информацию из внутриигровых писем, диалогов персонажей и, конечно же, интернета. Глубокий, несущий в себе какой-то призыв. Много интересного лора, в который хочется вникать (правда, после чтения белого текста на черном фоне рябит в глазах), как что устроено и почему работает, что происходило с персонажами до событий игры...
    Также зацепила атмосфера. Опустошенный Выходом Смерти мир, зоны Тварей под снегом/проливным дождём (от которых мурашки по коже), лагеря противников, дороги. Молчу про то, что в этой игре собрались три моих любимых актёра.
    Да, в этой игре ты просто ходишь и доставляешь посылки, но суть в том, что местность постоянно меняется, меняется экипировка и стиль прохождения. Сначала ты топаешь по равнинам, потом ты бродишь по горам, после этого вообще по колено в снегу где-то ползаешь.
    Система "Лайков" очень порадовала, я люблю лайки ставить, что в соцсетях, что там.
    В игре, конечно, есть свои минусы. Например, нельзя начать новую игру+, что меня очень огорчило. Я прошла сюжет, открыла всех выживальщиков, прокачала уровень отношения с ними до максимума, отстроила полностью дорогу, накопила под полмиллиона лайков... И столкнулась с тем, что стало просто нечего делать в игре. Заново пойти и проходить сюжет я не могу, потому что жалко весь прогресс, постройки и уровни связи, что вынуждает завести второй аккаунт и играть уже на нём, что доставляет определенные неудобства. Также управление транспортом уж больно... Неудобное.
    Не жалею о покупке.
    Игра хорошая сама по себе, но она далеко не для каждого человека подойдёт. Если ты любишь сюжет, тонну лора и ищешь атмосферу, то это для тебя. Если ты любишь экшон, стрельбу и мясо, то не советую рассматривать данный проект.

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.

It isn't just a mindless shooter, that lets you just go with the flow. It's about strategy and problem solving, but you can still choose your playstyle. You can be stealthy and strategic and avoid all conflict possible, aggressive and bold and devastate everything that gets in your way, or fast and dynamic and speed through enemies and terrain, which playing online makes it very convenient. Graphics are definitely nothing to scoff at, the atmosphere and the very setting of the game is really nothing like i've seen in other games.

    I couldn't even finish the game for the big peace of garbage it is. I am impressed. Worst gameplay i have EVER seen. The way it is boring is revolutionary. The story doesn't make you want to know what is left for them to show. I watched the rest of story on youtube and even there i was thinking that i was losing my time. Tell me a worst way to spend your money and your time.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Diante de tantas opiniões divergentes, comprei o jogo (na oferta) para ter a minha própria opinião. O jogo é muito bom! Não é apenas "ficar andando de um lado para o outro." Você tem que ter planejamento das ações, avaliar o melhor caminho a seguir, ter uma ordem racional e eficaz de entregas, saber utilizar os inúmeros recursos que o jogo dispõe para facilitar a jornada (veículos, roupas especiais, trator flutuante), saber lidar com as condições temporais e com o desgaste natural dos objetos. Realmente, não é "divertido" em um senso comum, e além disso é um jogo lento e contemplativo. Ao mesmo tempo é bastante viciante. Entendo quem acha o jogo ruim, as vezes o jogo cria dificuldades desnecessárias, como aquela falha geológica gigante no solo.
    O jogo lembra muito STATE OF DECAY 2 do Xbox One. Um terceiro jogo que misturasse as duas coisas boas desses dois jogos seria perfeito!

    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.

I mean it is Hideo Kojima a guy that brought us Metal Gear Solid, he will always have a great gameplay. Well... In this so called game he proves me that no one can be trusted and even professionals makes fatal mistakes. This game is comedic joke to me. This game attempts to transform a realistic walking in to a funny gameplay but there is a reason why gamers do not like to go on walks outside. Best part on this is unlocked in some part of the game (which I do not remember when because I was half asleep at the time) is ziplines because they let you skip the entire game. Maybe it could be funnier but even the music that is playing is trying to get you to bed. Game lets you finish the game without any sort of challenge. You win no matter what. Bossfights are joke to what Mijazaki brought us on this field of gameplay they just do nothing and let you killed them for free. Gameplay has no value to the story. You vould literally put a **** Assassins Creed or Donkey Kong in the gameplay part and the story would not have been affected at all. Even the story that I thought could be done well is ruined by some dialogees that are cringe as hell especially when ´´Fragile´´ speaks. When she speaks I want to put the Anti-BT gun in my mouth and shot myself. Everyone is trying to sound so mysterious and badass like me when I was 13 year old. Kojima himself does not even understand his own story so why should I even try when the only thing I want to do is to sleep. Even the visuals are pretty ****
    I know that graphics in general and the cutscenes with actors are well done. What I am talking about is the design of the world that is just pure boredom. I mean you have rocks next to river with in few different biomes and that is everything. Even the outposts are just buildings where there is nothing at all only holograms waiting on you to thank you for delivering the package. Absolutly the most biggest disappointment ever. 1/10 Kojimbo fans you can not tell me otherwise.

It is true that this game is about delivering packages. But there’s are story behind it all that is a rather good one. 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. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this game and can recommend it as a buy. Expand

    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.

    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.

    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. 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.

    i cant universally recommend this game because it isnt entitely a game the phrase walking simulator comes to mind.. there have been a lot of games i nthe last decade that are more narrative driven than play driven and this is one of them. however if you like that sort of thing the visuals and concepts are superb and the actors are great. it might be too esoteric if its the one thing youi cant universally recommend this game because it isnt entitely a game the phrase walking simulator comes to mind.. there have been a lot of games i nthe last decade that are more narrative driven than play driven and this is one of them. however if you like that sort of thing the visuals and concepts are superb and the actors are great. it might be too esoteric if its the one thing you get to play which is why i skipped it at launch but recently with extra time on my hands i decided to give it a try and im glad i did 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.

    Game was something new for me, loved the environment, story was different. But I still enjoyed it.
    I like to just take my time with certain games, and this game did it for me.

    But I wont play it again.

    Well... what i can say? If you looking for amazing shooter game, this game is not for you.
    If you looking for stealth assain game, this game is not for you.
    Its not about realism, postapocalypse lif, and about the plot. Is that game bad? OFC NO. Just... no everyone will like it. If you like games that are different from commonplace shooters or RPGs or quests, and with good plot, then

    One of the most unique experiences I've ever had, so cinematic without breaking away from the gameplay aspect. This game much like David Lynch films is very decisive and I think that's what makes art so special, everyone has a different take on this one, we need more like this. People that say it's just a walking simulator have never really played the game.

This game much like David Lynch films is very decisive and I think that's what makes art so special, everyone has a different take on this one, we need more like this. People that say it's just a walking simulator have never really played the game. It's a traversal survival game with sandbox elements as to how to tackle situations you find yourself in during your journey. Right before heading out for a expedition, you study your map as to which route do you plan on taking and equip your gear accordingly you, you plan out and actually participate in crafting your own experience. The stealth regarding BTs totally fits into the horror stealth element of their encounters. The actions you make and the resources, items and structures you built are available in the world of other players synced in your session and vice versa, perfectly addressing the theme of connection to others in this game, what you do for yourself benefits others, so you pay attention to what you're doing. The only kinda strong negatives that I can pin out in this game is that the antagonist falls flat at the final encounter and this game has awful third person shooting. But hey, this game discourages killing, it doesn't want you to kill and offers direct consequences for doing so via void outs or having to do the chore of incinerating the bodies. It's a extremely well acted game where each and every single character's back story is perfectly written and conveyed. Acknowledging pain but embracing hope for a better tomorrow. Not a game for everyone, but for those that are into this type of stuff, it's a must have. Also it's fractured story telling is far better structured than a certain overated game I'll refrain from naming. Expand

    There’s practically nothing to do in this boring mess of a game. I’m sorry but this is the most overrated pos across all gaming history.

    Captivating story , playing this game was something very special , because it was so different from anything else i have played so far. Interesting characters , beautiful ending , the only weak point for me was the boss battles. Even on the hardest difficulty , the fights felt easy and lacklustre and the obvious monster drink placement was a little bit too much , everything else , theCaptivating story , playing this game was something very special , because it was so different from anything else i have played so far.

For me its one of those games that don't need a sequel. Very satisfied with this purchase. 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.
