    The games cut scenes are like movie levels.
    Game play has a learning curve, but after unlocking more items and getting a hang of the mechanics, it opens up tons of ways to play it.
    And you would really appreciate a ladder or rope put by others when you are on a steep slope and carting a heavy cargo.
    This is the type of game i was looking for!

    Starting with the obvious, the game is beautiful. Characters and environment are designed wonderfully. Gameplay is smooth and understandable, the game guides you through the story, so you can't get lost.
    Movement of the characters is really organic, they move like a real person with weight and physical limitations.
    I'm really enjoying this, and I can't even imagine how someone could rate

    There are people who think movies like Stalker by Tarkovsky or Tokyo Story by Ozu are crap. There are people who think Dostoevsky is hoax and Crime & Punishment is boring. There are people who rate Death Stranding 0/10, and they want the creative industry to limit itself to feeding them fast-food xx.

    Bad pacing? Don't even tell me if you are still in the first area (Eastern Area as it's called in the game). As in every other game, the first part is for naiveté like you, to get you familiar with the mechanics of the game. Boring? It's in fact weirdly addictive and satisfactory. I give it a 10/10, not because I want to balance out the 0s in here, but because it breaks out of conventions that are what's really making most games boring these days. You are no longer challenging this guy or that––each trip is a challenge. Killing is no longer the way you approach another being––even the concept of killing is itself being overturned in the grand backdrop of Death Stranding. You are no longer alone, although so often you feel lonely in the game. As in the prophetic prologue quote from Kubō Abe, you are no longer holding sticks but ropes.

    I recommend this game, not just to niche players but to all who still love gaming. There are different ways to tell a story, and we do not need to limit ourselves to one.

Gameplay loop is so engaging that you literally forget its core is walking. You just need to play it and feel it with your own two hands, because YouTube videos don’t convey even the 10% of its fun.

Oh my god it has surpassed even my expectations, that were already high! The first 10 hours critics were complaining about, I found very fun. Yeah they are fetch quests, but I never had so much fun doing a fetch quest! The whole balance and cargo configuration is definitely game changing. I can feel the new genre Kojima was talking about. This is not a simple "walking simulator", it is an engaging, terrifying, beautiful and emotional experience. It is a refined Kojima game, at its best. I got the same feeling I did when I first played MGS back on the PlayStation, Where as that was a stealth game, this is a delivery game. However, where MGS stealth was straight forward, DS is so much deeper in gameplay. It i amazing how reactive the terrain is to Sam. I could really feel all of the obstacles you have to traverse through. The sound is amazing, and very creepy. The music is very serene and touching, matching the story very well. You can really tell that a lot of effort was put into the sound and music of this game. While people say it is a boring slow paced game, they are probably used to hyper fast games like Fortnite or Overwatch. I say this because I felt the pacing was perfect. You were given time to get used to the mechanics, and explore the world that is simply breath taking. There was lots of story and rest in between, and going to Sam's room always felt meaningful and welcome, after a long journey. This has been a needed breath of fresh air, as games have become the boring same old crap, that I feel like I have played the same game over and over. This gives me hope, that if successful, will inspire more triple A titles to take a chance on something new. The only downside I could say that exists, is that we are going to have to wait at least 3 or 4 more years for a sequel..... I really hope they release some DLC story content that fills in that gap. I am a Kojima fan boy, through and through, but I was still worried in the end that it would not live up to the hype. For me, it did that at the very least. Expand

The gameplay is an innovation, mixing complex movement mechanics along with aspects of survival. However, the beauty lies in the narrative, which is so masterfully crafted by the master himself, Hideo Kojima. There is drama, suspense, a message for the future which shall remain for those willing to work in the present. Award-winning acting from the characters, the way the director/writer established the characters is ground-breaking. The graphics, the color, the world is a breakthrough for game-design as art. Each step in the journey is rewarding. Inspiring, stunning, emotional. An experience which cannot be compared. A purely cinematic, thrilling, encouraging video game which should encourage goodness. A game we need so incredibly much in an era of miscommunication and disconnected people. This is not only a game for those who live within the pixels of the monitor, this is an experience to be counted as a lesson, to help us carry on with our lives with encouragement and faith.

    Yes you have a lot of walking to do and have to manage you balance but it's pretty rewarding figuring out ways to traverse the landscape and get to your destination safely and securely and it's always nice to see another player has left something to help you which in turn will make you want to do something nice for other players.

    I'm just leaving this here because this is a fantastic game. Most people here leaving 0's probably haven't even played the game, and are just **** on the game because its Kojima.

    i had to add this.cuz other gamers are so annoying..they say that the game is repetitive , sorry this is the biggest lie there..cuz its not .the concept of the game is delivering cargo,this was explained before by kojima, so if you dont like this concept, why did you buy it.
    every time you do a delivery you are introduced to new mechanics,vehicles.inventory management, each time something new.

    Original y diferente. Si no te gustan los típicos juegos de disparos y buscas algo que te aporte nuevas sensaciones y formas de explorar, te encantará. No es un juego comercial. Hay una cantidad de curro detrás de Death STRANDING, empezando por el diseño artístico, orografía del escenario y acabando con la banda sonora.

    I think this is a great and unic game. It has great ideas and good working game mechanics. I love playing it. It's sad for me seeing all these bad reviews. I guess people expected something different. I get that this game is not for everyone but there were a lot of reviews from jurnalists about what to expect before the game came out. So I don't understand these people.

    A lot of trolls in here, huh. These people probably own an Xbox One. Sad that Metacritic does not have some sort of verification system. Anyway, this game is one of those games that prove video game is an artform. So happy of what they made, the gameplay and especially the story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Death Stranding is pure art. I got totally addicted to the gameplay. Kojima created a new original IP with gameplay that you never had before. This is game is not like any other one. It’s a realistic journey for the player. A journey that tells a deep intriguing story. A journey for your own mind aswell. Society today is so busy that most people won’t appreciate this game. It’s meditative, but also action filled gameplay when you meet the BT’s or other human enemies. This game deserves a lot of praise! Expand

    My overall rating is probably a 8 but I put a 10 to counter the undeserved 0's from the mentally ill fanboys. I'm assuming they are xbox fanboys. Warped individuals. All you can do is pity them really.
    The game looks amazing. Probably the best natural scenery ive ever seen in a game. The gameplay isn't for everyone but I'm enjoying it so far. It's a game that makes you think. Currently 14

Yes sometimes its a bit of a slog but vehicles, exoskeletons and the building carry the game and just when youre getting a bit bored the viepoint changes to cinematic and an amazing song comes on. 10/10 for me. This is not an action game or a stealth game, i guess its a delivery game, climbing, rappelling, tumbling, riding, driving to your next destination. Expand

    Que experiência fantástica! O jogo te coloca em um estado de alerta total onde cada fragmento pode ser uma parte importante da história, somente a mente brilhante de Hideo Kojima poderia tramar algo de tamanha complexidade, não é apenas um jogo, é uma experiência complexa e profunda, apenas estou feliz de presenciar o nascimento de um novo estilo de jogo, obrigado!

    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. [Issue#299]

    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.
