It has unique gameplay mechanics, great graphics & sound and an Original story that will keep you seated for a lot of time. The below 7 score is just too "trolly" for my taste and also ruins the creative attempt of the creator. PLEASE don't follow the negative hype that has been created. Many games if not the most part of gaming includes a specific pattern that regards gameplay. For example in games like Diablo you loot, then loot again, and again and again. You see, this for many other people can be as "boring" as just "walking around". So, I'm not going to use any of these stereotypes to make Death Stranding look good or bad.
    Let's start with simple things. First of all, good GAMEPLAY is something that truly works with the general idea of a game and that the latter benefits from all this. Guess what? Death Stranding works greatly with this type of gameplay mechanic. In this game, you have to think while walking. You'll have to think about the steps you're taking. Although this will not seem interesting enough and too minimal for some people, believe me, it creates a New World. You have to think about the road you're going to take, micro-manage every piece of cargo in a smart way and adding to these you have to think of the terrain and weather conditions... You see... you're a tiny Man in the middle of nowhere. The vast lands, edgy mountain rocks (that get very slippy when it's raining) are your enemies. There are more "natural" enemies too of course and especially the BT's will transform the game in a much scarier experience. The only thing that I would consider a problem are the controls that some times lack precision. But it's happening in a very minor proportion, so it's really not a huge issue. IF YOU LIKE to play a good written-unique-delicate game it's going to be a 10/10. Believe me, there's nothing else like this out in the market right now. I'm going with a 9.5 and that's because as I said there are some minor problems with the controls from time to time. MY FRIENDLY OPINION is that you should actually play this, give it time to grow in you. Don't get drawn by impulsive opinions.

    *I'M GOING TO COVER this definitely the next days with a User-Friendly Video Review.*

    It's fantastic! The best game of this generation, it's fresh, it's bold, its breathtaking visuals are simply out of this world, the story is really interesting and intelligent in all of its weirdness. For those sensitive and intellectual enough it is also a great existential statement about the current state of our world and scoeity. A must-play game!

    I’ll start by saying this.... If you love movies and games, Death Stranding is for you. It seems that the battle royale and FPS have really dragged down the expectations of what makes a good game. Seems too much impatience to be able to delve into an immersive game. To take breaks and enjoy the art. Enjoying a masterpiece story. The underlying message. Death Stranding does just that. ItI’ll start by saying this....

Seems too much impatience to be able to delve into an immersive game. To take breaks and enjoy the art. Enjoying a masterpiece story. The underlying message. Death Stranding does just that. It sucks you in and holds on to you. After continuous 12 hour play I will say that I believe it was done purposefully for you to hone your skills with the controller. As the game progresses, there’s no rush to get it perfected. It’s like Kojima wanted you to grow with the game. Quite brilliant, actually.

    The voice acting is superb! The graphics stunning! I feel that Kojimas love of cinema and games played a HUGE factor in this creation. Looking forward to building more strands and building a community where everyone helps everyone. Not the later that has become today’s world.

Graphics need no review, watch any clip and you'll realize how beautiful this game is. Gameplay is where things get most divisive. I was expecting a really slow paced game, and what I got was a slow paced game, so no disappointment there, there was no indication anywhere or in any trailer that we would get anything else. The game is slow, but it's interesting fun. Slow paced =/= boring. That's like saying a drama movie can't be good just because it doesn't have action scenes, don't be ridiculous. Also it does have action moments, I haven't reached many but so far I've experienced fast and tense situations which contrast great with the slow paced walking you spent most of the time doing.

    All in all, so far a great experience, but I can get how it can be divisive amongst a large audience.

    What I can't get is why people are hating on Kojima and just rating negative for the sake of it. Don't be so childish.

    Loving this game so much! Very fresh and original. Been waiting a long time for something new to come along. I understand it’s not for the typical gamer who wants to gun things down. But it’s certainly for gamers who want to experience something unique that the industry is afraid to make.

    Ah the review bombers are here. I bought the most expensive edition digitally and so far I'm getting my moneys worth of it. I didn't have very high expectations for the game so maybe that's why I'm enjoying it so much. The horror/creep factor is indeed there and it's a interesting setting. Hoping the story is as good as the atmosphere.

    This is my early impressions of the game. The graphics are top notch and the UI is great, the game play could be better(Heard its all about making deliveries, which I won't mind but some people might) but something more interesting could of been there to keep players entertained. Haven't encountered my first fight yet so can't talk on that. Same with the multiplayer part which is what I'm most interested in. After all that said, the game is actually good for what it's trying to be and I think he accomplished that.

    This isn't MGS and you need to go in realising that. This is something new and something groundbreaking. You feel isolated, alone, scared but also there's a sense of togetherness, hope and happiness.

    This game is not for everyone but it's definitely for me, people give it a zero because it's "too slow pasted for my liking" this game was never advertised as a fast pasted game, people come just for Kojima but that's on them, they should look into the game before buying it, not blindingly buying it just because it's Kojima.

    Masterpiece. Not many developers would take a risk of creating something new and fresh like this. Game is unlike any other you have played (for better or worse, it depends on you).

Best comparison would strangely be close to Journey (2012), where you traverse a large space to explore and learn about this unique world of Death Stranding. This game is a truly amazing journey with a heavy exposition in story, art and mood. Not sure what people were expecting... an action game or shooter? How does missing your expectations warrants review bombing the game? You don't need to be a 'pretentious intellectual' to understand the story. Just sit in front of your TV, grab some hot drink in this upcoming cold weather, and enjoy the journey from one end of America to another. There is plenty to learn and experience on the long long way home. Expand

    A game with an addictive gameplay loop, beautiful environments, interesting cutscenes, stellar cast and that classic Kojima weirdness make for one of the most engaging gaming experiences I've had in a while.

My guy/girl you dont know what a REAL bad game looks like lol. At WORST this is a 7/10 but imho the game is so increadibly well made and balsey and Very Fun in a relaxing type of way that it warrents a 10 for me have a nice day and dont listen to the Trolls and haters, rent the game if your unsure and try it yourself to form an opinion cause this game is so unique you really wont know your feelings on it till you try it.

Yes, the gameplay is slow, but its what takes place between those moments that really matters. The characters are well thought out, each with backstories, and the cutscenes feature beautiful cinematography and expert directing. In short, you will either love it or hate it.

    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.
