    I would say, if you are willing to give it a try, please play til the end.
    Also the atsmophere + music + story is on another level.
    This is my first time coming up and rating a game.

    And as a Kojima game, this is 100% Kojima.
    Alot of text, but read it. It is worth it.

    What a great journey, diverse gameplay elements and unique concept. I truly enjoyed every single minute of this masterpiece.

    The Story, Music and Atmosphere all delivered.

    The game is truly awesome. Kojima-san made a game, that he dreamed about and promised us about. I don't have same feelings as other users have, i personally think, that his is a masterpiece here.
    Thank you, Kojima-san, truly a genius.

    Death Stranding is truly a masterpiece. Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise.

Don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. A story with plot twists, ‘Mission Impossible’ style, emotionalism like Interstellar & The Telltale Walking Dead and gameplay as immersive as The Revenant. For some reason, the gameplay loop is so addicting. It starts off slow which I appreciated when the game world opened up later because it is different than anything else in the way it plays, so it was nice having you slowly get used to the mechanics at first. Not long after, I was completely addicted, basically just playing the game for over 15 hours a day. It’s true, the thing you’re gonna be doing the most IS going to be take this from here to there but that is a very shallow description. On your way you will encounter many obstacles, wether human enemy’s, invisible BTs or just the rough terrain leaving you to figure out how to get across. On top of that you have to manage your inventory & watch out for your balance which keeps you immersed the entire experience, I literally did not want to even stop to go to the bathroom. Later in the game you can even build roads that pass through all the important delivery points which you can then use to deliver with your motorbike or even trucks making it a LOT easier and faster. The open world in itself is beautifully crafted and breathtaking, which the game knows, panning the camera out often, allowing you to enjoy it fully while an amazing and befitting song starts playing making you just astounded at the world’s sheer beauty. The story starts off as expected very confusing, which the main character ‘Sam’ expresses too. As you start getting it more and more, Sam will also start understanding it more. And then The Ending.. Oh The Ending. Incredibly rewarding, deserved and well thought out. This truly is Hideo Kojima’s Magnum Opus and an amazing beginning for the new Kojima Productions.… Expand

    ~

    death stranding is as unique as it is divisive, and i mean truly unique; there is no other game like this one (hard to believe these days, but it’s true). the hardest part about reviewing this game is dodging spoilers; everything in this game, from the many gameplay mechanics to the “multiplayer”, to the plot, to the message, is all woven so tightly together that you almost can’t talk about one without the others, and each are almost impossible to talk about without diving deep into them

    realistically, this 10 is for me, but it might be a 5 for you, and you owe it to yourself to find out

    Death Stranding is probably one of the best gaming experiences I've had this year. It feels lkke a Kojima again rather than the mess that was MGS5 and coming from a big big fan of MGS2 and MGS4 its a dream come true. Fairly lengthy cutscenes with intriguing story and innovative gameplay is what I ever wanted!

Геймплей если и мучительный, только в контексте мучительно интересный, а красота графики и местный саундтрек на высшем уровне. Играл от Кодзимы только в MGS V. Прямо скажем, не зашла та игра. Это я к тому, что не фанат. Играется игра гораздо интереснее, чем просто смотреть на неё из-за плеча и ее геймлей на крутится вокруг перестрелок. Но если вы не планируете до старости играть в плюс-минус одни и тебе игры, то я бы советовал купить эту или хотя бы не рушить рейтинг, если даже не играл ( стримы смотреть и играть это очень разные вещи)… Expand

    this game is beautiful and incredible. I went into the game nearly completely blind, having seen only the reveal and launch trailers, and it continually blew me away with just how good it is. I'm not going to talk about the story because I think everyone should experience it, even if just the cutscenes. But just know that it is video game storytelling at its finest.

I'm not going to talk about the story because I think everyone should experience it, even if just the cutscenes. But just know that it is video game storytelling at its finest. As for the gameplay, while it may not be for everyone I thought it was done very well and tied into the story nicely also. Even though the majority of it is walking, the path from A to B is so varied and enjoyable that it still manages to be fun just delivering packages and keeping balance. There's variety in the mission types also, so it never feels like the same deliveries over and over again. You're graded as well, and it's actually quite satisfying delivering something through a tough path and getting an S rank and seeing the npc actually be happy about it. And the better you do, the more upgrades received, which you're constantly getting anyway. The few moments when the game does have some action are when it actually does struggle a bit. Boss fights against BTs, which are the majority of the combat segments, are fairly boring because you stand and shoot, and if you die you can just repatriate with no real punishment. The wave-based encounters against Cliff are better, but the gunplay itself still feels a bit unpolished and there's not really enough healing items to use most of the time(at least on hard difficulty, which is how I played the entire game). It's not really a huge problem though, as combat encounters are few and far between and really just serve to spice up the game play a bit. And they're more than made up for by the one real bossfight in the game, which is insanely well done. All the gameplay is elevated by the soundtrack, which is also very good and well picked. The Low Roar tracks that play sometimes during exploration really help set the melancholic atmosphere and are perfectly suited to the climbing around you do. the song during the final chapter, BB's theme, also does its job in the best way possible. I only wish some of the tracks would play more, it's kind of rare they actually come on while making deliveries and the only music player is in the private room. Lastly, the way the indirect multiplayer is used is genius and really embodies the game's theme of making bonds. I really can't say how many times I was saved by someone's generator or safe house I came across while low on supplies, and gaining likes from real people who used what I placed down genuinely made me happy.
    So overall I'd rate Death Stranding 10/10. And, if anyone is wary about playing it from all the negative *American* reviews, I'd say go for it if only for the story. It's definitely worth it.    … Expand

    Death Stranding is nothing short of a marvel, so don't let the obvious review bombing campaign fool you. I'll break the positives and negatives into categories.

I'll break the positives and negatives into categories.
    Graphics: Absolutely gorgeous even on a base PS4. On par with RDR2 in some places, with extra care taken into its particle effects, large scale distance, and its detailed facial animations. So far nearly every trailer has been in this game, shot for shot, and with only minor artistic changes to their look, and the main story's cutscenes are especially beautiful, looking almost prerendered. Shinkawa's art direction is also magnificent and adds to its bleak, yet high tech, feel. In short, this game impressed the hell out of Digital Foundry, and that's no small thing.
    Audio: Ludvig Forsell was in charge of the OST and sound design and all of it sounds sublime and satisfying, from menu clicks, to the electronic score. I'm a little more iffy with some of the licensed music, but luckily the bulk of that is from Low Roar, which is a band I like.
    Gameplay: Apparently the most controversial thing, but as a certain mob can only focus on one aspect of it and pretend it's the entire game, I'll try and go into detail in under 5k characters: Death Stranding has a ton of mechanics, none of which go unused. The weight and balancing system in which Sam carries cargo and equipment is incredibly detailed and keeps you on your toes constantly. If weight isn't an issue, top heaviness, hostile winds, deep water, and visibility (enemies will spot a tower of boxes even if you're hiding in the grass) will be. The first few missions are very standard: take some cargo to a neighboring base and more importantly connect it to the network, enabling the highly enjoyable online features, which largely involves crafting bridges, battery chargers, and other boons for yourself and others. While the basic mission structure changes little, the level design and enemy placement (especially on story missions) adds a wide variety to your approach, and keeps the gameplay engaging. There are also a multitude of vehicles, weapons, power armors, etc at your disposal, especially from chapter 3 on. If there's a single flaw I can see with the gameplay it's with its physics system, which is a bit janky, though it follows its own physics rules enough to adjust to very quickly. The enemies I've encountered so far have ranged from MULEs, who try to steal your stuff and hunt travelers down, terrorists, who just want you dead, and BTs, which are more horror-based monstrosities that you have to sneak around or risk getting into a miniboss fight with a larger BT. The BTs are the best of the three, surprising you and keeping you on your toes at every turn. And yes, there are main bosses, and yes, they are implemented creatively, with a few even topping some of Metal Gear's bosses, but this review is spoiler free so I'll let you see for yourself.
    Story: Calling Death Stranding a game about a guy who delivers packages is like calling Shenmue a game about a forklift driver. The plot and worldbuilding hits you immediately, and in full Kojima fashion, every side mission ultimately serves the single common goal of the main narrative. I won't go into spoiler territory, but I will say that the story is both thoroughly explained and worth every minute. No major character is unlikable and it all clicks in a very satisfying way by the time the credits roll.
    This game is at its very few worst points a high 7, but at its best, it reaches 10 and beyond. It's a very ambitious game that I can't say I've played before, and its design philosophies have been implemented in the most detailed and gameplay-focused way they possibly could. My only real disappointment is in this reviewbombing nonsense, which has been going on since day 1, when next to nobody came even close to the halfway point of the 50-70 hour runtime before smashing 0 en masse. Ironically, these 0s are only helping negate any legitimate criticisms, since low scores as a whole can no longer be trusted as a consequence of the bombing. If anything this pathetic display showed me that mindless divisiveness is still going strong, and that Death Stranding's message of of the importance of working together is about as timely as it gets.

    Quick update: After about 90 hours I got my platinum trophy. This wasn't just a game I enjoyed for its story. It's one I came back to out of a pure desire to see everything there was to see, despite a backlog of other games piling up. Doubling down hard on my 10/10 rating. Death Stranding is a masterpiece.    … Expand

    This game is a very specific product. I understand why it causes so much noise. And although my rating for this game is 10, I think its current score is well deserved. For, how true art is to me to debate and make you think. Kojima has done a tremendous amount of work on the game and it feels like an author's game and not a product of a large corporation. For which he is greatly thanked.

My name is Andrew, never ever played a game of kojimas and never ever heard of him until 1 month ago. This is my perspective on death stranding that I have been playing for about 50 hours I think. The reason I bought this game was to see Mads Mikkelsen in the game (one of my favorite actors, aham Hannibal). I have been a gamer since 2006, played all the goodies, all the genres except jrpgs. I am working in a very stressful environment, cybersecurity. When I get home and I want to relax before bedtime I don't want a game that puts extra stress on me, I want a chill experience that gives me enough amount of challenge but also a good time playing it. There are only a few games that really put me in this mood: Death Stranding, Subnautica and Gravity Rush 2". When the weekend comes yes, surely I play games like GoW, horizon, spiderman, farcry, ac odyssey, etc. But none of them can really relax me after a hard day of work. That's why for me it could possibly be the game of this generation. The feeling when you simply walk in that empty space filled with superbly crafted nature-like landscapes and the moment when an in-game song starts rolling in, I think it's like a therapeuthical feeling I get that makes my brains " orgasm". I know this game is not for everyone. Probably will not be the game of the year but for me this is the game of my life that I have never anticipated it coming. I am terribly sorry for those of you reading all of this expecting to see a review of the game and instead reading about my experience with it. And another thing, start showing the love for your favorite games and stop showing the hate for the games that others love it. It's not a nice thing to show off these days. I wish you all a nice end of the year and a successful start of the next year.… Expand

    I don't know why but this game got me thinking of how I could never get into stardew valley. I've picked it up a few times, started playing for a few hours, never really "got" the core loop. But clearly the people who did "get it" see something incredible in the game. It's not for me I guess.

    Well perhaps I'm now in the reverse position, I've seen something incredible in this game, and I want other people to as well.

    I was prepared to be bored, I was prepared to have my time wasted. But perhaps its just me but I was hooked on this game from the get-go.

    Even people who seem to like this game keep taking about it as if it's a piece of modern art, to be endured and appreciated but not enjoyed. Well I say bull, this was the most fun I've had all year with a video game.
    Death stranding is my favourite Kojima game. I think it's my favourite video game altogether, though I think I'll have to wait and see how I feel about it in a few months.

    Starting off with a few cons:

    1. Repeated cut-scenes for entering/exiting private room and for delivering cargo ect. They can be skipped but it's irritating and they sometimes slip new cut-scenes in the middle.

    2. I'm not sure if this is a con but many people have complained about a slow build up. I think I see where they're coming from. But I really enjoyed the slow improvements to your delivering abilities. Really makes you appreciate every bridge a player puts down. Regardless Kojima will lose a lot of players to the first 3 hours or so.

    3. Odd dialogue. Don't get me wrong the vast majority is great and even the hammy bits of dialogue have a weird surreal charm to them. But still, prepare for the odd cringey line.

    The MGS DNA is still here there's a fair amount of stealth, though not as much as you might expect. It's not really about combat, though I enjoyed the combat that was peppered in there. It is about giving you impressive and surprising moments when getting from A to B. The variety of gear and ways to move keep accumulating on this core delivery mechanic. The online stuff takes it to a whole new level (playing this game offline is a serious mistake in my opinion, I think it could ruin it if you start off playing it offline).
    As you get further into the game the variety of added environments really change things up.

    I cant really tell you what the compelling moments were without spoiling it. But that's what I play games for, and this game gave me a treasure trove of compelling and engaging content. That's not even mentioning the bizarre Lynchian style story.

    So why am I giving it a 10 when I provided a couple of serious sounding cons. Because more than any game I've played this year I was just hit with so many memorable, gripping and surprising moments. I love this game.    … Expand

Clearly the game can't please everyone and clearly, it doesn't try to please everyone and so much the better it leaves the impatient, the people who only want frenetic action. The game takes its time and certainly, the first few hours are tedious but show the players the fragility of this world and then open up completely in the rest of the game. Always go further, higher, faster, build and help other players. These are the strong points of this game. Reconnection does not only involve the game that requires you to reconnect shelters but also reconnects you with other players who are building around you, leaving you with vehicles that will help you during your journey. The mechanics are well thought out and become deeper as the game progresses. The fighting becomes more intense as you progress through the game. Package and delivery management is getting ready and requires you to take the time to prepare your equipment (rope, ladder). Do I have enough to build a bridge? can I put a zip line point? the game makes you want to deliver and build for others and I appreciate the intelligence of game design. So yes there is some concern (some graphics a little dated but still qualitative, some collision problems on the mountain climbs) and the first hours of the game are not the most fun but once you take the time to get carried away by this game you discover a real message and a lot of heart.… Expand

To enjoy this game you have to suspend your disbelief, rid yourself of preconceived notions, and let the game reveal itself to you. If what I just described is not your thing, then don’t buy this game. Also, you can stop reading this review now. In fact, don’t even watch videos on this game. It will likely drive you crazy trying to figure out why some people (or anyone for that matter) could possibly enjoy this game. If what I described is something you’re willing to try, then read on.
    Bottom Line Up Front: This is a walking simulation, with some action, lots of storytelling cinematics, and a boatload of foraging. More on the foraging stuff later. You are a delivery guy. And oh my goodness do you deliver things. From corpses and live humans, to thermonuclear explosives; you get things where they need to go. You will trudge through rivers, streams, grasslands, muddy swamps, deserts of volcanic sand, miles and miles of boulder strewn landscapes, and you’ll even get to climb some mountains.
    Specifics: You’ll need to manage a lot of inventory. Lots of items have durability ratings and so must constantly be replaced or repaired. (If you like to explore like me, you’ll go through quite a few pairs of boots in the early gameplay). The more cargo you carry, the more tedious and troublesome the delivery process will get. Each delivery opens up more of the map and progresses the story more. This allows for side-quests and other explorations.
    Foraging: As I said earlier, deliveries open up more of the map to you. This also allows you to see and experience things that other players are building, have built, and would like to build. This is where most of my enjoyment has come from so far. I’m about 18-20hrs in and I’ve spent about a third of that time foraging for materials to build bridges, roads, safe houses, generators, shelters, etc… It’s amazing to start building a bridge only to find out another player has contributed most of the needed supplies or just finished it for you. It’s wholly satisfying to be running for dear life from mules or BT’s (with 3% battery juice left in your exoskeleton) when you find a perfectly placed recharge station around a corner. Or a strategically placed truck at the bottom of an exhausting mountain descent. On one occasion I had over 50 items in my truck before I crashed off the highway and totaled the vehicle. I could only carry 20 items by hand. If you get too far away from your cargo, the game will move your “lost cargo” to another player’s game world and they can deliver it for you, return it to you, keep it for themselves (if its material or items) or leave it lost. In my case, I found a post box close by that was built by another player. It allowed me to store my 20 items and go back for the other 30.
    Sidequests: Some people have explained that the side quests are boring and just more of the same. What they fail to realize is that the side quests allow for access to upgraded weapons, vehicles, and transport equipment.
    In Closing: This is a very slow game, with almost no action. It requires lots of forethought, planning, and trial and error. Some may find the rewards for your hard work lacking. Others (like me) find the rewards captivating. Yes, the story is very disjointed and in the early hours it doesn’t give you a good sense of past present and future. But it’s intriguing nonetheless. And well executed to boot. If you’re on the fence, watch a couple of walkthroughs (at least the first 2-3hrs if you have time). There are tons on the internet and you’ll get a better idea of what you’d be getting into.    … Expand

Moreover, Kojima seems to have tried to create something different rather than copy and paste many things from other games. It is so rare to see AAA games released with new game mechanics these days. What has impressed me most about this game is the semi-multiplayer world-building. You don’t see other gamers but you see their structures built. One day you have to walk all the way and go through mountains and rivers between two places, the next day you see other players have built the highway two-third of the distance between those places. Then, you decide to finish the rest of the highway, and then you see other people’s reactions by receiving their likes for your structures. This gives you a kind of satisfaction. This game seems boring when watched. However, when you actually play it, you begin to feel it attracts you to its world. The negative thing that bugs me most is the monologues of NPCs. They are repetitive so after some point, you say shut up.… Expand

    I agree with Tim Rogers. This masterpiece is the Grand Turismo of walking simulators. It's also a construction game though. The gameplay is much more literally about rebuilding a fractured society amidst a global cataclysm than I'd realized before launch. The game mechanics and progression system are perfectly balanced. Everything just works exactly as how I would expect it to. It'sI agree with Tim Rogers. This masterpiece is the Grand Turismo of walking simulators. It's also a construction game though.

The multiplayer aspect finally gives me positive online interactions with other gamers without anyone talking **** about my Mom. 11/10… Expand

    Invested about 50 hours into the game already and I am loving every minute of it. This game is not for everyone, but like other reviewers have stated, you'll either love it or hate it. The world is beautiful, while at the same time being difficult to traverse. Very early on the game teaches you that the shortest route is typically not the easiest. You have to plan your trips accordinglyInvested about 50 hours into the game already and I am loving every minute of it. This game is not for everyone, but like other reviewers have stated, you'll either love it or hate it. The world is beautiful, while at the same time being difficult to traverse. Very early on the game teaches you that the shortest route is typically not the easiest. You have to plan your trips accordingly and ensure that your toolset loadout will allow for it. The social aspect is very rewarding knowing that a creation you built, mostly for you, is being used and appreciated by other players, via the "Like" system. The combat is a little clunky at first, definitely not on par with MGSV, but this game isn't combat first like MGS. The story is unique and does a great job to slowly piece together the whole picture.… Expand

    the game is awesome, its not a game you can only put 50% into while you play and watch Netflix, its an experience you need to put 100 of your attention into, turn off the cell phone, and put yourself in the main character shoes, too many games are focused on instant gratification, and this is not. It's a long game, that rewards your for using your brain, and I'm not saying this justthe game is awesome, its not a game you can only put 50% into while you play and watch Netflix, its an experience you need to put 100 of your attention into, turn off the cell phone, and put yourself in the main character shoes, too many games are focused on instant gratification, and this is not. It's a long game, that rewards your for using your brain, and I'm not saying this just because i'm a Kojima fan, its because I waited to play the game until I made up my mind. If you love story line and unique experiences, play this game, I love it.… Expand

    a must try kind of game,, new experience worth trying it's a breath of fresh air in a time where everyone is milking/reselling their half cooked games over & over again for us to play.

    This game just keeps calling to me to play more, There is ferrying of gear no doubt, if you use tools, thinking ahead it does make the trips must faster. I have seen people stream and what takes me 5-10 minutes takes them 45 or more. You can't hate the game because you walk the wrong direction or don't use a ladder.

I have seen people stream and what takes me 5-10 minutes takes them 45 or more. You can't hate the game because you walk the wrong direction or don't use a ladder. When I travel from place to place there are always things to do, crystal gathering, rainstorms among others to break up the walking gameplay and before you know it you are at your next drop to progress the story and learn new skils to help you progress. Game is beautiful and atmosphere and story keep you wanting more. The menu system sucks to learn, but not worth a point subtraction.

    I do understand that every game is not for every person, but this game is no where near a 0 even if you don't like to walk anywhere in any game,

    I certainly have enjoyed it thus far and look forward to the second half of it. Unlike most games of the recent past the game is constantly pulling me back in. To me that hook is something great and will likely be one of the few completed games in a huge library of half finish titles.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a game that you will either love or hate: no middle ground here. For those Metal Gear Solid fans, you will get it 100% as it follows typical Kojima's video making genius. It is a very thick game that makes you think, plan ahead, and execute. I can already imagine regular games going at it from a conventional gaming mindset, dying on a mission early on and blaming the game for its poor mechanics; then running to a pc for a negative review. I'm a metal gear solid fan and it took me a while to get used to the mechanics and inventory management environment this games sets so yes, I would understand the frustration with some our there stating this game sucks. The story is compelling as Kojima is depicting the human dynamics post a global catastrophe and its implications . The reading material offered as a backstory in the game does the job, that is if you like to read or care to know more about it. Every character has a backstory and i love Kojima for taking the time to back them up. Details will fly over your head if you just want to pass this game. This is a game for the marathon runner. Take you time as most sub missions will enhance the play-ability and story line of the game. Over all, it is a master piece that will get better with time. It's a story worth playing if you have the patience for it. In summary, if you like shooters games, don't get this game but if you like a game puts you to think, appeals to your reading nature, and with strong story line , please enjoy Death Standing.… 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.
