    Death Stranding is one of those epic games where you reach the ending after many, many hours and you have the sense that you played something unique, fresh and a game that could be a comparative point for other games to come.

    Un juego valiente, innovador, original, que convierte en extremadamente divertida la típica misión de recadero de los sandbox. Uno de los mejores juegos de la generación, sin duda, y lamentablemente afectado por el hate de muchos. Con astral chain si eliminamos valoraciones pero no he visto lo mismo con death stranding. Resulta un tanto curioso...

    If you play the game good you will enjoy it. If you play it bad you fall and you cant enjoy. I had read many reviews and most of them are saying the baby is crying and there is nothing but walking. What i say is baby cries when you play bad and there are multiple ways you can make your own path to complete a mission and after a Long stretch you feel the satisfaction if you played it well.
    Yes sometimes the gameplay gets repetitive but you will find peace in it and that repetitive ness will never stop you from playing it. Death stranding is a masterful creation where it stands on its own starting a gateway to new genre and stays with you for years to come!    … Expand

    Very much like MGSV when it comes to pacing in its story but sticking with it for 8 hours or more, can be a really rewarding experience. The story, music, and creative character design overall just feels very Kojima. I wouldn't compare it to metal gear but it definitely is a masterpiece.

    This is truly a necessary game to the video game industry.

    Absolutely beautiful and groundbreaking game. This game breaks all the norms, and does what no games have done before. Any reviews calling this a “walking” simulator did not get past chapter 2, because the game opens us rapidly after that point. This game is a once in a lifetime experience, and is something everyone should experience.

It starts in post apocalyptic USA, and survivors live in a desolated communities. Your job is to brave harsh envoirment, make your way through enemies, and Beached Things (BTs), and connect people and deliver them goods so they can survive. Your job as a porter is maybe most important one in this USA. Story is great, graphics are best I seen so far (also it runs really good), music is astounding, and gameplay is really fun, it is a lot of walking, but it is GOOD walking and there is purpose in defeating hill or river. All the time you achieve small and big victories by defeating envoirment and making delieveris. Online component is really fun, you can help a lot of people and they can help you, and trust me it is better when you help them

    Amazing, a masterpiece by Kojima. The criticisms leveled against it are mostly made by people who are watching a stream, or just contrarians. You'd have to be a brainlet to not be able to enjoy this game.

    "Walking Simulator" - it sure is, and it does it fantastically with an amazing array of equipment, exo skeletons and vehicles to help you navigate the terrain. "FedEx Simulator" -    Amazing, a masterpiece by Kojima. The criticisms leveled against it are mostly made by people who are watching a stream, or just contrarians.

    "Walking Simulator" - it sure is, and it does it fantastically with an amazing array of equipment, exo skeletons and vehicles to help you navigate the terrain.

    "FedEx Simulator" - absolutely. Nearly every game is this - go here, do that, come back. Sometimes they disguise it (Go kill dragon and bring back bones). Instead, Kojima doubles down on it and it works, mainly because of the multiplayer connectivity which thankfully does not require PS+. I needed to upgrade a road, and another player had left a huge stash of metals in a post box, almost seemingly for this very occasion.

    People think the game is pretentious, but it's very transparent - the gameplay never pretends to be deeper than it is. It contains the familiar Hideo stealth sections which are fairly tense and some pretty simple combat, but the main enemy here is the environment and discovering how to navigate it is very enjoyable. The game progresses and unlocks gear at a nice rate so when you are thinking "oh man, I gotta walk here" suddenly you get vehicles, or a speed exo skeleton or zip lines, or after you spend ages trying to navigate a difficult area to make a delivery, you connect the region up to the Chiral network and other players buildings appear, giving you easy access over bridges and other structures.

    I would wager that people criticising this fall into one of three categories
    i) Watched a stream
    ii) ****
    iii) Didn't play past chapter 2.

    concerning the last point, chapter 2 is not boring, but Mama implies that you should finish everything before moving on. Ignore her. You can come back at any time. All she means is that anything you are carrying will be put in storage in a storage locker in the West Coast. Once you get to chapter 3 the game opens up immensely. Chapter 2 is still a tutorial.

    Once again, amazing game, will go down in history as extremely divisive but only brainlets who need constant stimulus will hate this. For everyone else, enjoy a relaxing game.    … Expand

This Game is not for everyone, it's not your average shooter game, this game is about the "rope" concept ratter than "the stick" concept, so it's a different game in it's roots. It is a very contemplative game, in which you're just a delivery guy, not a soldier or trained person like most of the games today, you're just a delivery guy. And in my opinion... That's fantastic. Ghe game is a constant loop, some would say it's repetitive, but it's not since that is the actual goal of the charachter, doing this delivery missions to reconnect a fractured society, and in that sense, the wonderful story and the gameplay combines to create a perfect symbiosis. A truly masterpiece in my opinion.… 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.
