    A unique but fantastic game from the creator of the legendary series, Metal Gear Solid. While combat exists, the primary mechanic revolves around delivering cargo to the disconnected colonies of a destroyed America. This is different from anything you have ever played. Keep your mind open and you will be treated to a new fresh experience not yet seen in AAA gaming.

    Absolutely amazing. The slow burn is just what I wanted in a game. The setting, environments, story , music and unique gameplay are absolutely great. And the gameplay is surprisingly fun. Probably my favorite open world game to date. This is not for people who only like action filled repetitive shooters. This game is for the open-minded thoughtful players

    Unique, kojima has done it again. It is undoubtedly one of the best games of the generation. ths soundtrack, the world, the detail level, the history and mainly the gameplay, it is very addictive to plan your path and protect yourself from adversities during the trip. It is not a game of going from point A to point B, the beauty of this game is in the path between point A to point B, "the path"

    A wonderful game that draws in a head.Very atmospheric soundtrack. Beautiful visualization. But the most important thing here is the plot, which the more you play, the more it draws you.Well-chosen cast. You can describe everything for a very long time, but it is better to make sure yourself, and not to read the reviews of people who did not really play, but simply heitat on the General wave.

And i allways wanted to know the name of the game but never found out until i was older and watched it on youtube and found out that there was giant guys in the game to fight against. This game reminds me a bit of that feeling. Even if it is a little bit more than wandering around as my first experience with shadow of the colossus, the game feels incredible and nice to play. The universe is so beliveble that you feel yourself inside the game and see yourself spending hours playing it. People where comparing this game with Horizon Zero Dawn. And saying that HZD is way better. But i played both and i can say i loved both of them as well. If you think the game is bad. Just wait a little bit for when it becomes cheaper and buy it to try it out. Or play it with a friend that has the game. Just try it. If you don't like it. Sure, i'm ok with it. You can like and dislike it as much as you want. But not before you play it.    … Expand

    Great game certainly not for everyone. Requires alot of patience and micromanaging. I think it's really cool how everyone is working together to build the world. The story makes you want to find out what happens next. Graphics are great and this might be the best soundtrack of this generation of consoles.

I really enjoy Hideo Kojima games from MGS to now. I'm just sad and laughing about all the negative backlash that these HATERS AND LAZY CRITICS are giving DS. People are so used to Shooters and others BS. So When a new game comes in that makes you think and is a comfort to the mind and ears it scares people and they're SALTY AF that DS isn't on their consoles. STOP HATING THE GAME AND ACCEPT IT.

    Com um pouco de cultura, torna uma excelente experiência, diferente mas com sua própria de maneira de repassar a história do modo que Kojima sempre contou, ótima sonoplastia ambientação com um craft ao estilos RPG atual, excelente para passar o tempo curti de maneira lenta e até mesmo cansativo mas não ruim ou péssimo apenas do modo Kojima de ser não direto só discreto como nano robôs.

    It's a delivery game, but it's also a stealth game or a mountaineering game.
    Moreover, this game still has weapons!

    It's impressive how the mechanics, game and level designs are in such harmony in this game. It's a mixing of creative gameplay and fantastic/mysterious story. A must play, a masterpiece.

    I simply can't stop playing. I love the gameplay loop, the story is bizarre, crazy, weird, different and very interesting, just what anyone would imagine coming from Kojima. The graphics and lanscapes are breath-taking, the score, oh man, the score is unlike anything else, better than all other game scores and than most movies out there.

    Absolutely fantastic. I'm really enjoying this game, it's a welcome change of pace for me (no pun intended). My only complaint is the lack of cats. Holy moly I love cats.

    I really think this game doesn't deserve the "walking simulator" label that has been applied by many. Yes, it is a game that features (among other things) a simulation of walking, but the traditional meaning of walking simulator is for games that are devoid of any gameplay at all (like Dear Esther and Edith Finch). Death Stranding, however, is absolutely full of gameplay.

    I haven't played any of Kojima's other games so I didn't have any expectations as to what Death Stranding was going to be. But for me, it's my favorite game release this year. (and YES, it's fun!)    … Expand

    "You play a post-apocalyptic Mailman that scares ghosts away with bottles of his piss and excrement."

    10/10.

    On a serious note though - Death Stranding is a fresh new experience, it gives you a break from the norms we now face in gaming. It is peaceful and carries a strong message about helping others.

    Kojima really managed to capture the feeling of vastness and exploration in Deathstranding. The game also has many online co op features that made it a very engaging game as you feel you are playing with many other players. It feels like a new approach to gaming I can understand that it isn't for everyone.

    I honestly don’t know what you guys were expecting. This isn’t an action game. This was never advertised to be ANYTHING like MGS. The gameplay is refreshing and exactly what I was hoping for, but I miss give a preface.

This is exactly the game it was advertised and I believe many of you came into this thinking it assuming because Kojima was the director of the MGS project he would deliver something that you found enjoyment in, just because of his talent.

    Brilliant game design that proves anything can be made fun in a video game.

    Space janitor, cook, and now, courier make a list of professions that don’t sound enjoyable, but can be made so by stories that resonate with the player, atmosphere and very solid mechanics.

    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.
