    Muy buen juego, inentendible para fanáticos de COD y cabezas cuadradas. Es evidente que el autor despierta mucha envidia y bronca pero eso no quita que el juego sea excelente. Prácticamente un nuevo género.

    Death Stranding es un juego cuanto menos curioso.

    Su premisa es muy interesante y cuanto más avanzas crece todavía más. Cosa que va en paralelo con su jugabilidad, muy básica y a veces podría estar un poco más pulida, siendo que se basa totalmente en la exploración y en las zonas rocosas no termina de estar totalmente integrada. con algunas animaciones repetitivas y malas hitboxes.

    Lo que si hace muy bien el juego es la sensación de progresión, el juego te recompensa constantemente con nuevo equipo o nuevas estructuras a construir. Haciendo el viaje cada vez más rápido y cómodo. Aunque una vez llegas a Mountain Knot City y consigues cierta estructura la progresión baja considerablemente.

    Hay que tener en cuenta que es un juego de exploración y aventura, no un juego de acción. Por mucho que Kojima dijera que fuera. Esto se ve claramente en los enfrentamientos, al no estar pensado para el combate la IA enemiga tiene que estar un tanto equilibrada para no resultar frustrante, haciendo a unos enemigos un tanto tontos. Eso incluye a los bosses.

    Personalmente es una experiencia que recordaré, en parte por lo interesante de la misma y en parte porque podría haber sido mucho más si se hubiera profundizado y desarrollado un poco más lo historia y algunos personajes.

    ¿Recomendaría el juego a todo el mundo? Claro que no. No es un juego fácil de acercar, lo que no quiere decir que no tenga buenos planteamientos.    … Expand

    Um jogo medíocre, com uma jogabilidade ridícula e sem estruturação, onde você fica indo de uma lado pro outro, sempre se frustrando mais e mais até o ponto que você desiste e vai procurar qualquer outro jogo pra jogar ou ver o mato crescer que vale mais a pena. Esperava mais do Kojima.

Well its actually quite easy to understand, it means its a game unlike any other, a game that when finally finished, i immediately deleted from my ps4. A game that asks you to travel from A----B to deliver parcels and then throws invisible ghosts and random terrorist at you because it knows that the gameplay cannot hold your interest alone and the story, you are fed hours and hours of exposition that makes no sense and doesn't move the story along in any way, there are entire chapters devoted to side characters that you don't care about and the villain wants to destroy the world because well why not, this writing is laughable, but it was the gameplay decisions that truly made me hate the experience, "oh you walked 16 hours to get here, thanks so much, would you mind walking all the way back now that you have arrived, oh and you cant fast travel because i just don't want you to".

    Death Stranding is more infuriating the boring, would not recommend, not even if there a black Friday sale    … Expand

    There are only two types of people that do not love this game: Those who have not completed the story and those who have no creativity. This game is art. To the “gamers” who solely love adrenaline giving games, do not rate this... it may just go over your head. For the rest of you, play this game. Appreciate the art and be inspired by it’s uniqueness. Rarely do games come out like this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What its like to be an USPS delivery guy in an apocalypse essentially. I see a lot of people saying its boring. I also see those reviews saying there is a lot walking. My response is "I'm like why are u walking?" People with those reviews obviously didn't play the game. I've played more than 3 months and poured more than 1000+ hours and I'm still stuck in the central region trying to get 5 stars on all the shelters. I strive for perfection and this game sometimes rewards you for that with cool custom gadgets. My favorite gadget or equipment right now is zip lining. I have connected all shelters in the east region and nearly all in the central region. I can make record time on all deliveries except those with massive amount of cargo. Even so, i can still make 2 trips and still make record time. I regret building all the roads, only some needs to be built for convenience reasons. And i also see those complaining about the combat mechanics. I g2 say this game is really easy even on hard difficulty and very forgiving. In combat, All u have to do to survive - for human targets - is to get a bola gun and aim at their head and with BTs...JUST KILL them! Stop sneaking past them. Combat is very small part of the game like seasoning on ur pizza. My last boss fight was with a giant tiger bt, it was soooo easy. which is what wanted because i have a human delivery which i didn't want damaged. All i did was stand there right outside of the shelter and chuck all my hematic grenades i have in my pouch and if i ran out, i walk back in the shelter to make more. I believe this is a 10/10 game, it reminded me of horizon zero dawn alot. This game is for those who wish to be the best virtual hero class UPS delivery guy.… Expand

    Where shall I even start?

    I guess I should start with saying that this is definitely not a game for everyone. I keep asking myself: Is it fair if someone for whom this game is not dedicated to is able to give this game a review? It's difficult to say. I believe this game is dedicated to individuals who feel the need for little bit of more love and friendship in this **** up world. For    Where shall I even start?

    I guess I should start with saying that this is definitely not a game for everyone.
    I keep asking myself: Is it fair if someone for whom this game is not dedicated to is able to give this game a review? It's difficult to say. I believe this game is dedicated to individuals who feel the need for little bit of more love and friendship in this **** up world. For someone who honestly hopes for a change. For someone who likes to get lost in sci-fi worlds and is no rush to get out of them. And also for someone who are bored with the old game genres.

    If you are asking who is definitely NOT a target audience for this game, then here is the answer: Definitely not for casual gamers, not for someone who barely knows how to play some simple game like Call of Duty or World of Warcraft, or FIFA and other simple (yet fun) games. This game is not for people who can't find at least 2 full hours for the play session. It is also not for the inpatient players, because it takes several hours until you understand the true size and glory of this game. It is not for people who hate philosophy and it is definitely not for people who hate humanity, who keep anger in their heart and who want to hurt others (this game is not about killing people, sorry).

    I will say it straight away: this game is 9,5 out of 10 for me, but since there are some many hateful people here destroying this game's honest value and the spirit of message that was written into the game, I'm giving it 10, to fight back these unfair attacks.

    Let me say something about the feeling from the game. I played through the whole campaign and it took me 71 hours to beat. I played on hard difficulty ( I believe this is the true difficulty it was meant to be played ). So why did it take me so long? Well, because I actually do care about the story, and I watch the cinematics, I try to understand the meaning behind it all. I rush to read every new Journal entry once I get it unlocked. I talk to side quest NPCs and hear out their stories. By the way, I have so many side quests left, that it will probably take me 50 hours more to finish the platinum trophy.

    So what did I get from playing Death Stranding? It's hard to describe. I definitely saw a lot of comparisons and allusions to our today's world (and all the **** that are currently happening) and to our history. From the very beginning Kojima serves you the message of this game on a silver plate and it will not change during the gameplay. In terms of the underlying message, there is nothing hidden, and I find it okay. The story of the game itself hides a lot of secrets and unexpected turns and it is fascinating how masterfully Kojima managed to finish the game and explain all the symbolism, metaphors and secrets during the massively-long ending sequence (again, this is not a game for inpatient players).

    I don't want to spoil anything story-wise. The people who have a capacity in their mind and heart to appreciate this masterpiece will play and experience it for themselves. Prepare for the ride.

    Gameplay itself? WOW!!! I mean literally I loved it, I never played something quite like this. Kojima really did created a new genre. I had so much fun planning and executing my deliveries, trying to get the best grades for it. I loved how the online players' creations helped me dozens of times to survive or deliver my cargo. The community aspect of this game is just amazing. And the versatility of how to solve navigating the difficult paths throughout this unforgiving world made me sit and think and analyse for just the right amount of time to feel like it is not overly hard or boring.

    The only things I found negative about this game: you cannot save game during combat or while in vehicle. Some of the repeating cutscenes like being in safe house can be annoying even when skipping is possible. And riding bikes and trucks on uneven terrain is kind of glitchy.
    Outside of this, I can see nothing problematic. The way the menu and cargo setup is created is actually good. You just have to have a little bit of brain to use it and learn it.

    Regarding being bored, like so many other critics here say... I was never bored, never ever. I was only lost in this world. And that is what I wanted. Kojima delivered what I expected, and much much more.

    Don't be so quick to write hateful notes on this game before you really play at least 20 hours and see where the author really goes with the story and the gradually expanding gameplay. Death Stranding is a powerful experience for seasoned video game players and people who can appreciate being lost in a massive and beautifully crafted world.    … Expand

    Having completed all the MGS series, I went in to Death Stranding with high hopes. Having completed it tonight after plugging away like a snail over a few months, I can finally say my piece on it. **100 Likes to Hideo Kojima**

    This game is make or break in the first 10 hours. You'll either persist through its slow pace and lengthy cutscenes, or you'll move on. This is not a game for the    Having completed all the MGS series, I went in to Death Stranding with high hopes.

    This game is make or break in the first 10 hours. You'll either persist through its slow pace and lengthy cutscenes, or you'll move on. This is not a game for the impatient. You really earn your perks, and when you do it feels rewarding. What Death Stranding does, is train you by keeping the pace slow to ensure you get the basics before it opens up. If you were given everything right away? You'd be overwhelmed.

    In saying that, I was completely relieved when I got my first bike. Perhaps it took a bit longer than it could have? But at least I learned the basics of traversing the landscape. In saying that, I never ceased to be amazed by the graphics and amazing sights it provides.. and I don't have a 4k screen or a PS4 Pro! So anyone with those things will be even more so. It's beautiful.

    You must play this online for the full experience. Having other players structures and cargo waiting for you makes it worthy. Stay connected, and keep making connections. When you see a spot which could do with a bridge? Build one. Think of others, because that's how you and others benefit.

    It's a grand team effort, and the game does a wonderful job portraying this without you physically seeing another player. I just wish others wouldn't leave their vehicles in the worst spots imaginable! Lol. But that's how it goes, take the good with the bad.

    Enemies -- They are daunting at first, but once you figure 'em out it's not so bad. I played this on Normal difficulty and only went to the seam once (outside storyline instances) because I fell off a bridge while being attacked.

    BT's are fine if you are patient. If you get caught? Frantically run out of the circle outlined in the map to escape; or beat the monster. Boss battles were fun! Although not as challenging (predictable AI) than those in MGS. The true enemy in this game? Is the environment making you fall over! That and inventory management (Auto-Arrange helps). There's some degree of frustration and regret when things go wrong.

    Quests -- If you don't like fetch quests? Then DS isn't for you. There are some exceptions, but the vast majority are like this. Now I've finished the game.. I can safely say you don't need to 5-star every outpost. It's nice if you want an Ultra Rare trophy, but if you don't care? At least try and get most of 'em in to the UCA so you can make use of others structures/signs. Also, roads are awesome! I built 'em all.. but it's an arduous task gathering materials for every strip. Do it if you have the time, but otherwise it's not essential.

    Structures -- I found bridges in good spots get the most amount of likes, as well as building roads. Zip lines didn't for some reason, even though they are very useful (more so in snowy areas). Generators are also really good if no one has built any near an outpost.

    Support Characters -- I didn't feel as connected to them as I hoped; all except BB and probably Deadman. For spoiler purposes I won't say anymore, but I do wish they had more personality; although it's hard to stay positive in a post-apocalyptic world. Heartman's cool also.

    Story -- Vintage Kojima. The MGS games were the same as they kept you guessing and it will grow on people. They used the word 'beach' a bit too often and repeated dialogue, but overall it keeps you guessing to the last second. It really makes you think hard long after you finished. I love the positive message of connecting with others.

    No, the game is not perfect. Can it get boring/repetitive at times? Yes, but it's a truly unique experience which clearly took a ton of effort. Definite recommend. Hideo Kojima, if you see this? I got a star waiting here with your name on it. Let me go set up a zipline or two so you can get here easier. Also *100 likes* to Norman Reedus. Love him in Walking Dead and in this game.

    This game is hard to explain, on paper its possibly the worst idea ever. Lets make a game a fetch quest. But somehow tying core mechanics into this make it strangely enjoyable. The catharsis experienced after delivering a heavy load, it taking no damage, while going through some incredibly harsh terrain is unmatched by any game I've played recently giving it a fantastic game loop.

The catharsis experienced after delivering a heavy load, it taking no damage, while going through some incredibly harsh terrain is unmatched by any game I've played recently giving it a fantastic game loop.
    The story as well is brilliant, well paced with enough tid-bits of information to keep you hooked throughout the duration, and completely explained in the ending, leaving no big mysteries to force a sequel that may never come.

    The game mechanics while solid, can be repetitive, few enemy types and a standard way to defeat them leaves it feeling relatively simple and while that isn't the game's focus some more enemy types or some difficultly scaling would allow the game to keep the challenge toward the endgame and make side missions a more important part of the journey. With this the game feels like a mountain, the difficulty in the early game is slowly chipped away as you get new items and weapons that allow BT and Mules to become trivial over time, and while that may lead to some satisfaction, looking back down the trail you've climbed it does leave you feeling like you've beaten everything towards the end. A tip to players to increase the challenge would be to eschew weapons all together, leaving it only to your wits and resourcefulness and the way i'd recommend playing, keeping the difficulty and stealth an absolute requirement throughout the whole game, rather than being able to kick the door down in the second half.

    Even saying that, the traversal itself is what makes the game, borrow from a friend and give it five hours of your time. Though if it hooked you as much as it did me, your friend may not get it back!    … Expand

    Death Stranding is one of the most unique games I've ever played. The gameplay revolves around the core mechanics of terrain navigation, melee and weapon based combat against human and super-natural enemies, managing your cargo and equipment, and building structures such as roads, generators, shelters from hazardous rain, etc.

The gameplay revolves around the core mechanics of terrain navigation, melee and weapon based combat against human and super-natural enemies, managing your cargo and equipment, and building structures such as roads, generators, shelters from hazardous rain, etc.

    Death Stranding is not a game for those who seek instant gratification and or have low patience. It wants you to stop and smells the roses, immerse yourself in a lonely and desolate, yet beautiful = post-apocalyptic world. The action may take a back seat for the most part, but it is still very satisfying over all. The game is very good at rewarding the player with new equipment at regular intervals to make the harsh natural landscapes easier to overcome.

    The music and sound design is absolutely top notch. The soundtrack being one of the best I've ever heard, setting the tone and invoking emotion perfectly. the graphics are fantastic with smooth fluid and realistic animation. great performance with only the occasional slight frame-rate drop during fights with some of the larger monsters. Excellent performances from the actors. The writing can be great, and sometimes it can be cheesy. But i feel the cheesiness adds a certain charm. They lore of the world of Death Stranding is surprisingly deep and fleshed out and everything in the fictional world seems to have a good logic to it, And many of the gameplay mechanics seamlessly fit into the games lore. There is a slight learning curve to the controls, carrying items and handling Sams balance and weight while carrying cargo.

    The first several hours are very slow and heavy on dialogue. It is necessary to understand the plot, however you have to option to skip all cutscenes if you so wish.

    Death Stranding is a game i highly recommend to anyone looking to experience something new that no other game can offer.    … Expand

It truly is magnificent when you understand the concept of the "online" world and start building structures that make your deliveries easier(but contribute to other players as well). But once you get to know these things the whole process becomes repetitive and you find yourself wishing for the next cutscene to come. If it wasn't for all this mystery that surrounds the world of the Death Stranding I would probably leave the game be. But oh boy the story.... it is excellent. You may find some stuff you encounter a little bit cringy or cliche but believe me when I tell you that the 3 - 4 last hours make up for everything. Everything is magically coming together explaining all the things that wouldnt make sense to you, blowing your brain to pieces. Great graphics, great actors and fantastic music make this journey super realistic and emotional. The whole experience makes up for the not so interesting at times gameplay and is a must play for someone that enjoys a very good story and a more slow paced gaming experience. Even if you didn't like the game you have to admit that these are the games that everyone would like to see. These games are truly innovative and push the gaming industry to the next level.

Finding the best route. Planning the weather. Trying to avoid Mules and Bts. Also you're always playing a mini game with yourself trying to keep your balance.The combat is pretty lacking though. The guns feel bad to shoot and your melee attacks consist of a 3 hit combo only. Of course there are other things but those aren't worth mentioning. The story also does get confusing. I feel like Hideo Kojima was trying to be confusing and not just making the story. It's confusing for the sake of being confusing. Also the menus feel really cluttered. You go to your inventory and it's just a sea of blocks of words in your face so it's not easy to navigate. Sam could've also been a better character. He did have his own quirks like hating being touched and not really caring about the world. He was always quiet tho. It was surprising to hear him talk. Before playing this game I thought BB was going to be a very annoying crybaby. Well he is a crybaby but not annoying. I genuinely cared about him. When he cried I wanted to cheer him up by rocking him to sleep. When he laughed I also smiled. Throughout the game you see Sam and BB develop a very adorable bond as they travel the world. Speaking of the world I thought it was gorgeous. You can tell they put care into making every single inch of it. But the map isn't just pretty. Its dangerous and I'm not talking about the enemies I'm talking about the map itself. You have to pay attention to almost every rock so Sam doesn't lose balance and trip(which will damage cargo and make BB cry) you have to pay attention to not get hit by falling boulders and stay warm on top of the freezing mountains.

Este juego esta catalogado en accion, aventura y sigilo, cosa que no es este juego ni de broma, que tenga partes de X no significa que lo sea, las secencias de accion son muy limitadas, por lo que este juego ya estaba mal colocado de primeras. Es un juego al que le ha pasado la factura del hype y la publicidad abusiva a un producto que no estaba debidamente etiquetado, si quieres una historia sobre lineas, tienes heavy rain que salio con 20 euros de lanzamiento dejando muy claro que es una pelicula interactiva, detroit become human valia 70 euros pero daba por sentado que era un juego sobre railes con sus toques de rejugabilidad e historia inmersiva. Pero volviendo con este juego, es básicamente de hacer de repartidor, con una historia sobre la vida y la muerte, en un mundo muy dañado. ¿Es divertido? No, que es precisamente el principal punto de que se consuman estos productos. La historia es realmente confusa y difícil de entender, aunque es atrayente, no lo voy a negar. Pero si un juego falla en su principal misión es que algo va mal. Ahora toquemos el apartado visual, los graficos y banda sonora; y son de lejos lo mejor que tiene este juego, logrando una muy buena inmersion, graficamente es muy bonito a la vista, y las animaciones y ambientacion estan cuidadas con mucho detalle. El mapa aunque enorme, está vacío, y a la hora de explorarlo se puede hacer muy monótono al tener que repetir el mismo concepto una y otra vez; que es ir del punto A al B y entregar la mercancía, ya está. Es básicamente un juego que no invita a ser jugado, y por 70 euros hay opciones mucho mejores en el mercado, que algo haya sido hecho por Hideo Kojima no significa que se una "obra maestra" como dicen en eurogamer. Es un "juego" con un transfondo e historia muy llamativos, pero fallando precisamente en su decepcionante jugabilidad. Tambien tengo que hablar de algunos problemas con el motor de colisiones, que resultan en un verdadero dolor de cabeza a la hora de moverte, sobre todo en vehículo, que al moverte te ralentiza atascandote en toda piedra que se cruce en tu camino, por pequeña que sea. Las misiones son tambien otro problema, y para no repetir, diré que hay un enorme número de encargos que son parte del hilo principal (no son secundarias) haciendo que la historia cueste mucho trabajo escucharla, y asimilarla. Ahora mismo, este juego lo tengo atrancado, y francamente esperaba algo mejor de este señor; dejar de endiosarlo y de venerar este juego por lo que no es, NO ayuda a esta industria en nada, y eso es así, punto.

    Opinión personal:
    Este producto es más una película interactiva que un juego propiamente dicho (y no, no me vale que el juego empiece a divertir a partir de la mitad del mismo) fallando en mantenerte pegando al mando e intentando ver mas. Para lo que trae, 70 euros son excesivos, estoy seguro de que no estaria recibiendo tantas hostias si se hubiera alejado del hype, la publicidad innecesaria, y las altas expectativas; todo ello a un précio más asequible. ¿Merece la pena probarlo? Me decanto por un NO rotundo, pero si te interesa, es mejor alquilarlo o pedirlo prestado, en un juego que a la semana solo servira para acumular polvo en tu estanteria.

    Conlusion: Es un juego excesivamente caro, y que no cumple con las altas expectativas forjadas, muy bonito a los ojos y al oido, pero fallando en tódo lo demás. Si quereis probar este juego, mejor alquilado antes de hacer la decision final, es lo mejor que podeis hacer. Y si eres fan de la saga Metal Gear Solid y querias ver algo de ese calibre, esto NO es para tí, esta demasiado alejado del sigilo y accion tan características de MGS.

It wasn't almost always walking either because on multiple occasions you will be encountered by bts and you had to take care of your baby, there were raiders and you had to fight them, you had to take care of bb, you could actually drive, but the problem with the cars was that they had exceptionally low battery power but thats the point is to make many problems so that you had to improvise is what gives this game just a little touch that makes even better. What was making me confused was people reviewing on how realistic it was because they were saying it was just nonsense and none of it made sense. Most of these reviews are from people who played the game for like an our or two and gave up because they were bored or they just not good at the game, it can get boring but it has a very interesting story and gets better the more you play it trust me. it's a good game, well to me at least.IT'S NOT A WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!!!… Expand

You make your own weapons , your own vehicles and bombs . The idea of social dependence is very new and extremely interesting . Honestly it's the best feature in the game . You find ladders, ropes, bridges and some time bikes thrown around by other players for any one to use . Or even when you build something, other players gets to use . Seriously this game deserves to be in the top of must play games for this decade . Absolute genius . Don't listen to other people, just try it and give it few hours . Maybe like 6 hours and then decide for your self if it's worth it or not .… Expand

    El juego es unico, la mecanica de entregar paquetes puede ser cuestionable, pero la gran historia y la gran jugabilidad lo hacen unico, lo acabo de terminar y me encanto, no es para todos, pero todos deberian probarlo al menos.

    The gameplay is immersive that kept me hook for more than 100 hours. A unique atmosphere that you have never seen on any games yet. It literally defied all genre today.

    The best game I've ever played in my entire life.
    Maybe this is not a flawless game. But It's raw and experimental. I love it, because many games these days are just same gameplay with silently better graphics than its previous game.
    Story was beautiful, gameplay is so addictive and fun.

    Death Stranding has one of the best storylines I have ever seen in a game, in my view the gameplay is also very good but does not cover all players.

    Fantastic game if you have an attention span longer than the average squirrel. If not it will be the most monotonous and boring thing you have ever touched and likely should never consider the game.

    An innovative and creative work.
    Death Stranding excels at being a rich, atmospheric and immersive experience. The world setting and building is dark yet beautiful. The scope is massive, being able to literally traverse to anywhere you can see. The story is wonderful and fascinating and delves deeply into many mysteries and questions about the origin of the death stranding itself and also    An innovative and creative work.

The scope is massive, being able to literally traverse to anywhere you can see. The story is wonderful and fascinating and delves deeply into many mysteries and questions about the origin of the death stranding itself and also hints at being involved with real life historical happenings. The characters are impactful and each fleshed out with their own stories that bring them together via a commonality of loss and hope.

    Some issues to note are the lack of variety in gameplay and also a lack of intractable characters and NPCs. However, these things don't detract too much from the game itself and can be overlooked depending on your enjoyment of the rest of the game.

    If this is anything to go by, I am looking forward to Hideo Kojima's next work in the future as a free man from liberated creatively from the shackles of his former employer and clearly, his free creativity is boundless and full of potential.    … Expand

    This game is just fantastic from it's graphics to it's story and it's themes It needs to be experienced at least once but it is a slow burn from start to finish you need to keep playing in order to progress if that is not your thing then steer clear Kojima mastery at it's finest everyone from the casting etc does an excellent job definitely recommend.

Several gameplay elements work well, but not as well together as in MGSV. For example, it's far from being a polished shooter, but you get plenty of guns and are forced to use them at times. Physics can be wonky too, though I didn't encounter any game breaking bugs. Ultimately, you get as much as you're willing to receive from this experience. The cinematic cutscenes are where this game really shines. There are of course long sections of waking sim, though nicely accompanied by a beautiful soundtrack. And the core loop of making deliveries surprisingly doesn't tire after 30 hours. This is definitely another Kojima tale about the failings of American society, and the world at large. But the links to historical and mythical stories along with the outlandish new lore ultimately make it a compelling piece of fiction that stands on its own. I rarely if ever felt like the suspension of disbelief was broken, even with all the menus.… Expand

    Best atmosphere ever, really creative story and the gameplay is fun if you use the gameplay-mechanics how theyre meant to be - think before you do anything like in real life. If there is an area with thousand of tiny rocks then dont fu**ing use your truck like in the dozens of bad reviews. First make your way barefoot, build streets and then use the truck, man.

    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.
