    Death Stranding é simplesmente uma obra de arte, do começo ao fim.

    No momento estou com mais de 60 horas de gameplay. Eu queria ter uma perspectiva ampla antes de fazer minha análise, pois não queria fazer algo simplesmente por estar no Hype para o jogo.
    A história: Ela como um todo é perfeitamente explicada e desenvolvida. A forma com que tudo evolui é muito interessante e te deixa surpreso(a) várias vezes. Entretanto, alguns temas e personagens do jogo poderiam ter sido mais explorados, mas isso é uma opinião minha.

    Sobre a gameplay: Eu gostei muito, ela é bem envolvente e te dá prazer em controlar o personagem. Algumas pessoas reclamaram dos veículos, pelo fato dos mesmos não passarem em qualquer terreno, o que é um absurdo, pois se os veículos passassem em lugares de difícil locomoção, o jogo perderia sua graça e dificuldade.

    O jogo como um todo é magnífico, e as vezes eu nem acreditava estar jogando algo com tamanha qualidade. Death Stranding trouxe um frescor pro mercado que está muito carente de jogos originais, criativos, e de uma boa qualidade.

    Nice idea. Nice story. Very good cast with very good acting most of the time. Amazing music. The world feels natural but there is is not enough variation. The too many explanatory cut-scenes in the beginning of the game were somewhat tiring. The world felt too empty but I guess this goes hand in hand with the narrative.

    I mean, where to start. YOU PLAY A FUTURISTIC USPS GUY KICKING BUTT AND LIVING IN A WEIRD A** POST APOCALYPTIC WORLD. Unique, definitely not for everyone, but different. I just can’t wait to see what they out of next for the world.

    A truly and genuinely remarkable achievement. Death Stranding was unlike any experience, a reflective, challenging and mind-bending journey. For the past few days I was glued to it, goring through the emotions, the frustrations, the thrills and often spectacular scenic views.

    I came into this having only watched the original trailer when it came out. All I heard when the game was released were the complains about it being "boring" and "divisive" but when I eventually started it, I simply was sucked into a beautifully terrifying world.

    I resist giving anything full marks. But it's been two days since I was dumbfounded and in awe as I finished it at 5.30 in the morning and I still cannot stop thinking about it. The fact that I didn't even realize that I logged in 87 hours before completing is a testament to how engrossing it was to me.

    If you're looking for a unique gaming experience with a cinematic and existential twist to it, this is for you.

    It's just amazing game. All moments are perfect except link between gameplay and story. There is story with cut scenes, which can be independent film. Gameplay is original and real AAA. Most important problem in Death Stranding is game starts be interesting after long time of gaming

    You can play this game in a whole bunch of ways, i mostly went stealth, think really the most enjoyable parts are when you can take a minute to enjoy your surroundings, or when it forces you to find a way of interacting with human adversaries.

    its a slow burn and not very varied in the main mission structures. But that's not the point. you are there to make other players times easier, you need to go through the slow opening to get to the point to work with others asymetrically, helping others is very satisfying. seeing the roads you built being used by other users, creating zip lines across mountains etc

    its not for everyone, but i definitely enjoyed it especially during lockdown

    I really don't know what to say about this game? For starters it is very boring with long cut scenes that make this more of a video game movie than an interactive and fun video game.

    Do yourself a favor and just watch a game-play walk through on youtube if you want to fall asleep at night.

    Some people will say that the game created a new genre in science fiction and gaming, and they might be right. This does not mean therefore the gameplay mechanics are good/satisfying, that the story is coherent/wel written. This is my review after trying to play the game for about 15 hours but eventually giving up.
    First the good:
    ++amazing cast of actors, that have been skillfully
    Some people will say that the game created a new genre in science fiction and gaming, and they might be right. This does not mean therefore the gameplay mechanics are good/satisfying, that the story is coherent/wel written. This is my review after trying to play the game for about 15 hours but eventually giving up.
    First the good:
    ++amazing cast of actors, that have been skillfully scanned and animated
    ++amazing graphics, the interface and world are very pretty
    ++music is great and fits the whole atmosphere of death and taking journeys
    ++first (and hopefully not last) game by an independent game studio started by Kojima!

    Now the bad:
    --- writing: the writing in the game is horrid, props to the actors for greatly performing poorly (and most times corny) written lines. For a game that has a lot of story it would have been a good idea to let a professional English (native or equally skilled) writer take a look at all the writing. Not to mention the contant pedantic in your face lines that feel awkward and stupid. "There is no future without america". We all know Kojima is a fan of the USA culture, but the game feels forced in the way it speaks about it.
    --- gameplay/game mechanics: yes it is a different kind of game and I'm all for new and innovative, but, gameplay wise it feels very artificially filled with unnecessary back and forth, almost unsteerable vehicles, walking mechanics that dont make sense (reedus radomly zways left or right) preventing users from enjoying the walking around. This couldve been removed and the game would not suffer from it. Adding complexity in order to give players something to do while walking is not good game design.
    ---Story and world logic: any good story makes sense in its own world. The whole rain makes you old is cool and innovative but, the world does not make sense when you think about it for more than 2 seconds, the plants grow and die, rocks should decay and most infuriatingly there shouldn't be any buildings standing! How many times has it rained when you reach a brand new outpost? If those building are made of a certain material that does not decay, why not use that material on everything else? Also what happened to planes? They should be able to rise above the rain and deliver goods and everything else? Why not burn people at cities and collect the chiral dust in a container that can be later shipped off site? There are many such gigantic logic holes in the story that I tried to ignore but it was in the end impossible to. Reedus is the last resort of sorts for the unification of USA, so why not put everything into helping him out? There are literary trucks outside that reedus is not allowed to drive, why?
    --UX: yes the UI is pretty, but its incredibly unclear and does not communicate clearly to the player what is happening, specially the deliver menus and world icons.
    -- Player feedback: the game likes to make the player feel like an important part of the world, however the lines are overused and you cant take it seriously after the 25th time someone gives their thanks.

    TLDR: game is pretty, game mechanics are awkward and often make the game unnecessarily difficult and grindy. World/Story logic often doesn't make sense.

    After completing Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain, Kojima started to work together with Guillermo Del Toro on various projects.

The first thingAfter completing Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain, Kojima started to work together with Guillermo Del Toro on various projects. After the famous split between Kojima and Konami, one of these projects Death Stranding had been teased for quite a long while. Now it's finally out, the reviews have been streaming in and so far it's got mixed opinions for a variety of reasons. The first thing that might put people off is that at it's heart, it isn't an action game (or at least, it isn't at first). It does appear to share and engine and some control mechanics from the MGSV games but other than that, this is entirely it's own property and focuses more in terms of Sci-Fi and Horror than other genres.

    You play as Sam Porter Bridges, motion captured and voiced by Norman Reedus (an actor most famous for The Walking Dead and Blade 2)
    Sam is essentially a courier tasked with travelling the strange and inhospitable landscape caused by a post-apocalyptic event where society is reduced to living mostly in bunkers with very little resources. Key aspects of the game include balancing your cargo load, carrying collapsible ladders and climbing anchors to make yours (and other players') journeys easier. You have to maintain your walking boots, keep your chest-mounted BB unit happy and look after your health and stamina. Crouching makes you slower and makes carrying heavy loads easier. Walking and running will shift the cargo weight onto one side, forcing you to move more slowly or stabilise yourself to avoid falling and damaging the cargo.

    Throughout the world your presense to other players (if online mode is enabled) will allow for player-made structures and signs to appear in your game. You can award these likes so that other players may reward those who are generous with their time and resources.

    You'll encounter some rogue forces too. There are the MULEs which are a hostile entity that will steal your supplies and will enter combat with you if you stray into their territory. There are the BTs that appear during periods of heavy rain. These semi-invisible forces are hostile and will attempt to pull you into the underworld which will force you to respawn and make you lose your progress.

    There are a large number of cutscenes in the game, some are from colleagues giving you information but others are fully rendered video sequences which set the story and fill in the world. There is an extensive backstory and text notes which fill in the game's lore and give you a better idea of the world.

    Later on you are able to fabricate objects based on blueprints and can upgrade your equipment. The map will open up to you allowing you to travel further and take on riskier jobs.

    The visuals in the game are stunning and definitely push the Playstation 4 to new heights in terms of technical achievements. The music and sound in the game is exceptionally well done, some of the named bands contributing songs have done a great job and these always play at the right time. The voice acting is excellent and definitely some of the best VA work I've heard in recent years. Gameplay is understandably a bit of a mixed bag for some, your character is meant to be quite normal so you do have to keep your footing and watch your stamina gauge to avoid tiring yourself.

    Take a look at some videos and other reviews and see if this is the right game for you. In my opinion it's great and one of my favourite videogames.

    Ok I've been playing the game for like 6 hours and I must say that this game is mindblowing Each area except for the bridge building looks different and unique
    Game mechanics is really something else
    Yes it is kinda walking simulator but the mechanics made it interesting to travel across the UCA. The game will change when BT comes into screen. The thrill will make you understand the game.

The hardships required to bring people together is tough and it is shown brilliantly by Hideo. The story is mysterious to keep you on hook. I know this game was not received well by gaming community. But as gamer if you don't want to buy the game it's fine at least rent it .
    And you will know why this is one of the best game ever made.

Kohima really hits the mark with this one as the whole point of the game is a mediation of self and how to de cone t a broken and isolated world. The game looks incredible and I found that managing the inventory was a lot more simpler than say managing Mother Base in MGSV. In terms of combat I actually found it engaging, and when I took down my first BT I was HYPE. With more and more experience I found I was able to face almost any challenge the game threw at me. I found the boss fights to be very engaging and found the traversing the obstacles of the landscape to be extremely satisfying. Yes the gameplay is simply “deliver this item to this location” but the story is very compelling once you get to know the cast of characters and who they are as people. Every character has their flaw and failings and that’s what makes getting to know people compelling in a game where you’re connecting everyone to you and each other. Yes the game is sometimes tedious but when is a Kojima game NOT tedious? In my roughly 40 hours with the game I found I was able to overcome challenges through experience and thinking outside of the box. There is no other game like this game and I think that that is the game’s strength. No this game is not for everyone, but for me I like a slow burner with a well designed map and world. I recommend this game to anyone that has played Kojima’s games before or to anyone who simply likes to traverse challenging worlds. I can’t wait to see what Kojima does next! Expand

I'm over 100 hours in and I’m still enjoying the experience. It truly rewards you for all your handwork as you progress and does bring about easier forms of transport as you move on. The only niggling problems I have so far with the game is its quite cluttered inventory management system and its over complex story but in comparison to the full package these are minor inconveniences IMO. The best way I feel I can justify such a high score is to say (like anything) your best playing it for yourself. Expand

With plot being written like an angsty teens anime fanfiction with lots of plot holes and some political believes of Kojima himself such as totally original "Orange man bad" and characters with the least settle names that anyone could think of, and yes their names do hint their motives. Don't you love when the game treats you like an idiot by giving you away everything you need to know about it but still wants you think it's super complex and sh*t? Mama, Fragile, Dead Man... great names i'm really sure it's fitting... for training bots in a multiplayer game. Any interaction with the characters in a long run is pointless do to the fact we're given away everything we need to know about them at the very start. Gameplay? It's absolutely attriocious, it's basically sandbox game created by someone who never seen a sandbox game and only heard about it from person who hates sandbox games. The whole delivery thing could be an interesting as side mission to earn some extras and not the main theme of the gameplay, people despise that word but it's very accurate represantation of this game. Walking simulator with very little of danger in the game world, reused environment and completly empty world. Sure say it's post-apocaliptic world but than again presence of Monster Energy Drink being so relevant and unaffected literally breaks that illusion. Currently the game is to put it simply forgotten and dead. So much for game of the decade and all of that echo-chamber of worshipping Death Stranding and Kojima. Expand

    Story and idea is unique and interesting more so that the world is facing a pandemic right now. However, the execution is boring and monotonous. Every mules act the same way like robots. Every terrain feel copied and paste. Every job order seems meaningless and unrewarding.

At times you will feel that nothing special happens and you do deliveries just for the heck of it. But in my opinion that is great because you are playing a realism game, there are many things that they don't make this game realistic but the how the game is played and how the story is developing it makes it a realism game. The gameplay of this game is not for all because it just feels like a walking simulator especially in the start and if you also do the side quests it can become a little boring because you are going to the same locations so that you can finish all the side quests in the area that you are in. As I said before this game is not for all the gamers but I like it a lot. Kojima's games are always interesting and weird at the same time and that it is why I like it. The graphics are pretty good and the colours that you see in the different locations are pretty good and you don't have a dull feeling that you might have in the older Fallout games, I know that the fallout games needed to be like this so that you get the feeling but the landscapes are a little bit dull. Many people said that it was a waste of money but I don't agree with them, because the game just needs some time to reveal its secrets Expand

Но ведь так и есть, игру надо расценивать как очень качественный симулятор: планирование маршрута, распределение груза, качественная симуляция ходьбы, особенно по пересеченной местности, взаимодействие с другими игроками посредством построек и лайков - вот в чем главная фишка игры.

Всё это приправлено прекрасным сюжетом в стиле Кодзимы, кинематографичными кат-сценами, великолепными саундтреками, и в целом ощущения спокойствия, медитативности (не всегда конечно, но в большей части времени). Из минусов я отмечу: физику транспорта, хоть иногда "залезать" на мотоцикле на скалы было и весело и необходимо; тупой ИИ МУЛов и террористов, хотя скрыться от них тяжело; несколько моментов игры, где надо было "играть в шутер", а стрельба не очень удобная, да и 30 фпс.
    Понимаю, почему многим не зашел геймплей, и он для них стал дико скучным, но это же не повод ставить очень низкие оценки. Игра ведь сделана очень качественно, лично меня она очень затянула именно своим необычным геймплеем, и я планирую выбить платину

    Easily one of the best games I've ever played. I purchased it late, on a 50% discount discouraged by poor user reviews. A shame that a poor reception and missunderstanding of this game will have a huge negative impact on the whole game industry.

    Easily one of the best games I've ever played. I purchased it late, on a 50% discount discouraged by poor user reviews. A shame that a poor reception and missunderstanding of this game will have a huge negative impact on the whole game industry. Turns out that if game is not dumb, cliche, action packed / scripted crap, people won't like it.

    Delivering packages is in fact the main task of this game, but japanese developers have different understanding of walking in video games. Mario, Zelda BOTW, and now Death Stranding shows how much work they put in the motoric of movement - activity you do constantly in video games. Because of that, while in other games - walking is just a means to an end, in death stranding walking is the gamplay itself. It's really complex, thought through and polished. It forces you to re-evaluate what's important in a video game. While in other games traveling is just a boring activity to kill another mosner / check off another quest of the list / ge the carrot at the end of the stick - in DS traveling is the biggest joy by itself. While in other games I'm always annoyed when I have to travel far, in DS I'm glad to do so.

    A lot have been said about the story, world, graphics and characters, but gameplay is the best part of the game in my opinion. Since delivery is evaluated with grades, delivering a package in a perfect shape despite of the difficulties bring the same kind of satisfaction as clearing mission clean in a stealth game. DS is forcing you to make decisions all the time - what path to take? What equipment to take with you? Run through scavanger territory to save time, or take a long route trying to avoid them? How to get down the hill and not fall on your face droping cargo. Every step you take is a decission in this game and that's why its never boring. I even like the need to take break in private room, cutscenes of geting out of shelters etc - its a nice break that makes experience way more immersive.

    Saying this, I wish game was more difficult, especially mules are easy after getting bolla gun. I wish trips were longer instead of spaming tons of delivery side quest between near shelters. Online aspect didn't convince me either so I turned it off - didn't see point building bridges, taking ropes / ladders when other players already spammed map with all of that making a lot of equipment useless. Yet I think this game is a masterpiece and it hurts me to see how bad its reception is. I recommend you to try it yourself. and btw. I'm not Kojima fan. Actually it pisses me off how this guy is spaming his name everywhere, taking credit for everything while game is a creative effort of many people.

It's a long, arduous process that's made difficult by the weight of your cargo taking a toll on your balance and stability, as well as the path forward being rife with obstacles like highwaymen, destructive rainfall, supernatural entities, and even the terrain itself. While new items and features are introduced at a steady pace to ensure things get easier as you progress, traveling across the vast, empty expanses for miles on end doesn't necessarily become any more exciting. As a result, this is very much one of those love it or hate it kind of things.

    I can see the game being a tedious slog for some and a straight shot of melatonin for others. There is an audience for this though. Personally, I was enamored with the story, themes, and overall originality of the mechanics. I enjoyed the sense of serenity that came from the slow-paced traversal so much that I was actually bothered whenever action would take center stage. I had no problem with the various enemy camps spread across the gargantuan map as I could deal or not deal with those as I saw fit. However, at several points you're forced into boss battles and the coverless third-person shooter system makes them more of a chore than anything. I was impressed with the scale of each encounter, but the game is definitely at its worst whenever guns are involved.

    The online component makes the journey a little less lonely. You won't get to actually interact with another person, but structures built by other players will appear in your world to act as helping hands. Coming across a bridge or zip-line someone left behind not only makes your trek less of a hassle, but also allows you to feel strangely connected to individuals you'll never see. These random acts of kindness inspired me to not take up my own placed ladders or climbing ropes after using them with the hopes that they might prove useful to anybody else came that way next. Sweetening all of this is the "likes" system which allows you to award others with bonus experience points at the touch of a button whenever they've built something that's pleased you. Seeing that somebody not only used a road or safe house I crafted, but saw fit to reward me for it always brought a smile to my face. It's easily the best multiplayer experience I've ever had.

    This is another meticulously crafted work of singular vision from the biggest auteur in the gaming industry. It transported me back to the PS2 era where you could find titles like Mr. Mosquito and Katamari Damacy that were entirely their own unique things. Because of this I believe Kojima delivered on his boasts of having created a completely new genre. I've certainly never played anything like this before. It's the kind of radical experimentation we need nowadays, even if the end results always end up being this divisive. While I definitely have a high affinity for the game I must admit not everyone will be as enthralled with it as I was. So despite the high score I'm giving it my ultimate recommendation is that you find a way to try it before you buy or even rent it in order to make sure it's for you.

MULE encounters leave a bit to be desired and I think the game could have benefited from more stealth mechanics added in. The BT encounters are tense; but an eventual late game upgrade makes them incredibly easy after a certain point.

    If you know what the game is like and it seems like something you'll enjoy, then it's a must buy. However; if you're skeptical then you might want to consider waiting for the game to become $30 or less.

    Игра удивительная на самом деле, проходил с большим удовольствием, иногда прям физически уставал таскать эти грузы... но насколько же интересно было погрузится в этот настолько щепетильно продуманный мир. Сколько всего было придумано для игры, словами не передать, нужно играть.

    Сюжет интересный и подается дозировано и в целом понятно, время от времени игровой процесс прерывается на десятки минут и ты сидишь и смотришь кино, потому что графика на очень высоком уровне.

    Социальная сторона тоже очень кайфово сделана, все эти ништяки, созданные другими игроками очень облегчают прохождение, и приходятся очень кстати, сколько сотен часов будет прохождение игры без этой помощи даже представить страшно.

    Я большой фанат игр от Quantic Dream, там тоже огромное место отводится сюжету, и меня
    DEATH STRANDING очень впечатлил.

    Геймплей тоже в порядке, на первый взгляд - ходи туда-сюда, доставляй грузы, но это не так просто. Геймплей меняется, и он не становится сложнее, так как появляются новые возможности, та же дорога с автомобилями, это было прям кайфово, ее отстроить )

    В общем, если вы любите игры, где нужно думать, где есть интересный сюжет и некий элемент чилла, потому как пересечь гору на своих двух по колено в снегу... это требует выдержки. Игра отличная, даже несмотря на мелочи, вроде бесконечных катсцен сдачи и взятия груза, включение визора тварей... все это нисколько не портит ощущение от игры.

But if one can buy into it, like I did, then it will be a most memorable experience. The presentation of the game is phenomenal, it shows that Kojima is still at his usual form for crafting unique and cinematic games. I actually enjoyed the act of playing this game because of how unique it is. It was almost relaxing to walk across the rough terrain as Sam Porter Bridges. The mechanics are simple and effective for the most part. Managing the cargo can be a pain at times, but if the game and its world make that connection with you it will be merely an aspect of the gameplay and not a flaw. The game definitely isn't perfect technically, it could use some tidying up in areas, such as organizationally in accessing materials and obtaining vehicles. So the cargo management in this sense has its flaws. The combat is pretty fun, though it is quite easy and one-dimensional at times. For instance, using stealth in 'Mule' sections never really presented itself as an option to me. I almost always had to fight them directly, so that became sort of tedious and monotonous. But aside from the problems, the real emphasis of the game anyway is in its mysterious and thought-provoking story and world. The characters you meet are highly realized and have interesting back stories that you uncover. The atmosphere of the world is incredible, with great sound and visuals. The 'BT' encounters are eerie and intense. The whole game forms into an impressive work of art. If you can find the time to stick with it, as it will draw on and on (though it never gets dull), the final chapters of the game might be the greatest part of the game. It is worth playing to the end because of how satisfyingly the game ties itself up. This is probably one of the most under appreciated games I've played. But again, this statement only has validity to those who don't abhor the gameplay. It requires a different mindset to play than your typical shooting game. It challenged me and made me think in a way that no other game has. It's not for everyone and at times I didn't really love it, but its original style and feel made me appreciate the experience.

Aunque muchos halaguen la historia a mi me parece una reverenda mierda, NO TIENE SENTIDO LA HISTORIA, en un Estados Unidos futuristico el mundo de los espectros se a levantado formando un caos, hasta aquí todo bien pero luego vienen estupideces como por ejemplo los enemigos, “Las MULAS” son malos porque al igual que tu antes trabajan de paquetería, se volvieron locos por los envíos y ahora ellos se quieren quedar con tus envíos Y NO ESTOY BROMEANDO. El gobierno necesita que todos los paquetes sean enviados por humanos porque si, están avanzados en tecnología pero no pueden crear drones que hagan los envíos, estúpidamente meten mas cosas al juego que no encajan en nada, cada estación te repiten LOS MISMOS DIÁLOGOS UNA Y OTRA VEZ “¡ohhh! ¡genial! trajiste el envío, eres un Dios por trabajar caminando por todo el mapa para traer cajas y conectar estados unidos con 5 USB’s”, TU OBJETIVO ES CONECTAR LAS ESTACIONES A LA RED QUIRAL (internet), aparentemente no existen los satélites ni nada parecido en este mundo futuristico. Este juego es malo y eso es innegable. Habrá gente que diga que es “solo para un grupo específico de personas” y están en lo correcto, ya he juegos de gestión de recursos y espacio como Oxygen Not Included, también he jugado los apodados “walking simulator” como lo es FIREWATCH y son buenísimos porque saben cómo usar estas mecánicas, pero este juego junta esas mecánicas y mas, después las convierte en algo súper tedioso y frustrante para matarme del aburrimiento, llevo 20 horas de juego esperando encontrar algo interesante pero no ha ocurrido nada. Lo único rescatable son los gráficos del juego, pero vamos que eso no contrasta ni un poco todo lo negativo que tiene este juego. No lo recomiendo, tal vez pruébenlo si lo encuentran en una muy buena oferta. Es una lástima que un juego triple AAA con buenos actores y Kojima haya terminado así.

It's ultimate experience written by Hideo Kojima, produced by Hideo Kojima, developed by Hideo Kojima, created by Hideo Kojima. I love it by Hideo Kojima!

    Everyting about this game is mediocre. It has any feature that can be considered good. Story and game-play is boring, bosses are crap, charachters are ordinary; plus game contains a lot of bugs.

    I usually complete every game I started, but I don’t think I would be able to finish this game. I am at 5th chapter, but I don’t have any urge to complete it. It is just boring.

    i consider video games a passion and my main hobby, i have reached a point where i grow bored of new video games and endless series of sequels, the next Call of Duty, the next Assassin's Creed, all the games i have played recently are part of established franchises.

    i consider video games a passion and my main hobby, i have reached a point where i grow bored of new video games and endless series of sequels, the next Call of Duty, the next Assassin's Creed, all the games i have played recently are part of established franchises.
    Video game design has grown stale, games are getting more expensive to make and publishers always choose to go with the same proven formula for gameplay and storytelling, they cannot afford to take risks on such massive investments.
    This game is not perfect but it introduces so many unique concepts, it is a needed breath of fresh air, something different.
    The gameplay did not bother me, things remained interesting until the end, i loved the different gadgets and weapons you can make and the planning required for the toughest journeys.
    The online aspects helped keep things fresh and i really enjoyed it but there is no way of entering a strand contract with a friend, that is a shame.
    Some people have pointed out the blatant product placement (Monster), i don't mind it, at least the game is not full of predatory microtransactions.

    Bottom line is that the game deserves 9/10, not because it is good, but because it is unique and interesting.

    The game is incredible. Unlike everything on the market. The story has an exciting and surprising ending. The soundtrack makes all the difference and made me a fan of the band Low Roar.
    I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys exploring in huge, incredible and beautiful settings. You end up getting addicted to making deliveries and connecting the country.

    Death Stranding is not a walking simulator - it's a delivery sim. It is not a wish fulfillment story or engaging action-packed gameplay. It can be slow, especially in the early stages. The main character is an everyman thrust into a role he doesn't want, and there are few moments of heavy payoff through a game that can take 50 to 100 hours.

It can be slow, especially in the early stages. The main character is an everyman thrust into a role he doesn't want, and there are few moments of heavy payoff through a game that can take 50 to 100 hours. It is a slow burn with a story that is at times convoluted and often hidden in optional messages in the menu, but if you are willing to take a back seat and try to actually connect to the vast world, it will pay off by the end. Just make sure you have a few hours set aside - it's a long ending!

    The characters are well-designed with typical-for-Kojima cheesy nicknames and sometimes heartfelt backgrounds to said nicknames. There is a disconnect in how many times you see a hologram instead of an actual character, but this is a nonissue in a post-apocalyptic story where the weather and landscape has become deadly. The sluggish nature of the weight distribution system does make up a lot of the gameplay, but the sluggishness gives each delivery a feeling of actual weight - this isn't just counting numbers until you have maxed your encumbrance, there are multiple parameters to each package to be considered There's even a hotkey for those who aren't interested in manually organizing. Stick around long enough and the clunky menu doesn't feel so clunky- it pays off by the midgame when you know your best load out and are hauling 12-20 medium size packages with ease.

    Death Stranding requires patience through a large prologue. Enemies are sparse and seemingly unbeatable until progress is made, and the time it takes to walk the various open ended delivery routes can be daunting... but you soon unlock multiple vehicles and equipment that make the initial 20-minute hikes into five minute rides. The real gameplay doesn't even start until the second city is visited, a spot that a huge amount of people stopped playing at - based on PSN trophies as of April 2020, 43% of players completed the third chapter of a 14 chapter game. For reference the first boss fight is chapter four. Only 28% finished the game entirely.

    These numbers should be significant - everyone is entitled to an opinion but how can reviewers judge a game they likely didn't finish? Take the time to get involved with Death Stranding. Put yourself in Sam's sometimes frustrating boots, don your harmonica, and spend some quality time with your BB, dammit! If you're up for it, Death Stranding will absorb you.

    I would say that the atmosphere of the game in most situations is equally as great. Whether you're walking along a dirt road or running from literal ghosts, the ways in which the game conveys the desired mood is immaculate.
    My largest knocks against the game would be how information and controls are conveyed to the player (or rather, how /much/ information), and the menu-ing. There is so much information that gets regurgitated to you, both regarding mechanics and regarding plot elements that I felt it began to negatively impact the game in the latter half. There are so many systems working at any given time that it's a marvel how this game works as well as it does, let alone at all. Given the size and length of the game, I don't blame the developers for reiterating information. However, at a few points it did begin to negatively impact the way I felt about the game while playing it.
    I loved this game, and while I wouldn't say this 70+ hour Norman Reedus / Hideo Kojima simulator is for everyone, I'm pretty surprised at a lot of the negative reviews of it.

Once the story kicks off towards the end of chapter 3 it becomes much less of a walking simulator and d quite a deep heartfelt story about connection in a fragmented world. The ending is very emotional and it’ll definitely take me a while to get over this game. 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.
