    An amazing game, the most originalist and newest thing I've ever seen, not just in games. But in anything. The game had deep messages, fantastic gameplay, amazing characters.

    Alright, I am absolutely in love with the world Kojima has created in this game but holy crap could he make it anymore boring? I found it an absolute chore to go through the story even though after finishing it I find myself looking up some of the scenes.

I can appreciate expositions dumps as much as the next guy but at least give it to us in an interesting way rather than have some guy in a hologram talk for way too long

    The gameplay is literally go from point A to point B and if you're unlucky some of the **** muck people will grab you and drag you 200 meters away from your cargo. A lot of people will tell you there are guns and grenades that surely would make the game fun but they don't. They still manage to make shooting boring. The only good thing about this game is the performances done by the amazing actors who deserved to be in a better game

    Anyway, if you really want to try this game then get it when it's on sale (at least 60% off) or rent it    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I went from not being hyped at all for this game, to being interested enough to eventually buy it, why? Because as we heard more about the game play, it reminded me of things like a simulator game, I'll say it's not quite that, but I was still drawn to it, and couldn't stop playing.

    I was also on the "Hideo Kojima is overrated" wagon, I spent 90 hours on this game and has completely reversed, he understands the The gaming medium, and doesn't just want to make movies. He did something unique with it, his presentation is rough in some places, but it's very Kojima, and has it's charm, I really don't think it should change.

    Finally for the game, it's certainly not a perfect game, but it's game play loop being delivering packages, it honestly works quite well, the challenge is the environment, I must admit most characters only really started coming to life by the end of the game, but by then Cliff Unger, and Die-Hardman were suddenly my two favorite characters, where before that point they were barely noticeable.
    Deadman is also a fun character, cute you could say, definitely a bit of a comic relief, all the characters are likable though, there wasn't a single character I completely disliked, I will say Higgs was the most built up character that you learn almost nothing about, when it comes to motivations, or I just didn't feel it when the reveal came.

    TL;DR Death Stranding is a unique game that has a surprisingly good game play hook, despite how it looks, and a story that really comes to life by the end.    … Expand

    - The controls are clunky, unintuitive and poorly explained.

    - The crying baby is immensely irritating.

    - This is the least compelling open-world game I've played. The world feels hollow and empty, and it isn't truly open - you regularly get funneled into areas with unavoidable hazards which is an incredibly artificial way to engineer a confrontation. Timefall also repeatedly occurs in the same places.

    - The game is plagued with cutscenes, prepare to sit through hours of them. Or skip them, many are essentially meaningless.

    - The game is also extremely linear and repetitive. It is essentially a giant fetch quest.

    One redeeming feature of the game is that it has a very unusual story, but this doesn't make it unique. Spend your money on the Witcher 3 or HZD, or literally anything else and save yourself the disappointment that is this game.    … Expand

    Graphic and style was perfect, even the story was interesting, but you can’t make a videogame with hours and hours of videos, and just a little time of real gameplay that often was very boring. Dear Kojima, if you want to make a movie then make it but this time you had to do a videogame and you didn’t. Very disappointing.

    1) Monotonia disarmante, cosa odia il videogiocatore, fate dal punto A al punto B, e torna indietro. Questo gioco ne fa la sua forza.
    2) Si passa dal una difficoltà estrema data dalle prime CA all’esageratamente facile appena si ha il primo fucile.
    3) Boss figth fatte MALISSIMO, pessime, gestite male che ti fan bestemmiare, non perché difficili ma perché fatte male, esempio la scazzottata con higgs o prima la CA colossale.
    4) I mezzi, il veicolo a 4 ruote va letteralmente dove vuole appena c’è un po’ di salita si gira senza un motivo, la moto si pianta nei granelli di sabbia.
    5) La storia, confusionaria, spiegata male, con buchi di trama e forzature peggio che i film della MCU. Un brano dei PinkFloyd è più comprensibile senza essere sotto effetto di acidi.
    6) È frustrante, come può del pesce, si del fresco bisogna consegnate, rovinarsi perché cadi ( senza motivo perché capita che inciampi nell’aria ) come un reperto archeologico... 7) la presenza dell’online è fondamentale per godersi il titolo ma troppo invasivo, si passa dal nulla dell’inizio a 57 ponti, 111 caselle postali, 89 teleferiche

He uses two realms to make a possibility for a character to appear in the same realm twice or something. And at the end he will reveal to you every metaphor and allegory he achieved by combining several languages and cultures and nonsense (so it would fit the story) like it is some big bren thinking. And there you are, speechless, clueless and amazed by Death Stranding's brilliance. Kojima-san = genius. 10/10.
    No, not really.
    The story tries to take itself seriously while at the same time breaks the seriousness with wtf moments (licks), references (good ol' fashioned boss fight), cringe (princess Beach) and the "connect all America" silly propaganda. Though the characters are quite likeable, the cutscenes are often too long and boring.
    But the real problem is that the gameplay has very little to do with the story. They are almost two separate things. I feel like they both work on their own and don't need each other.
    The gameplay is plain. Get some crates from point A to point B. Have an inconsequential small talk with a recipient. The protagonist doesn't even answer them. Probably Kojima productions couldn't afford Norman Reedus to record those lines. Hammer x through these conversations.
    The controls are pain in the ass. The on foot movement is let's say ok but vehicles, both close and gun combat, menuing - real bad. Not to mention the bad input layout. Even though traversing is stiff you can climb almost every steep and rock, no need to use ladders. The open world doesn't appeal to me. I find it dull. Perhaps more trees, less rocks?
    The "paramultiplayer" is kind of interesting but meaningless for the game. On the other hand you won't find a game like Death Stranding so at least it's somewhat original, I guess. I would be very surprised if it would get a sequel or a spiritual successor though.
    I'm glad Kojima didn't forget to write his name it like 20 times in the credits. Kojima, Kojima, Kojima.¨

It's like nothing you have ever played before and while it takes quite a bit to get into, once you get used to the gameplay loop you will fall in love with it as long as you have patience. It does start falling apart towards the later parts of the story and it really feels pointless after the credits roll, but during the first 20-25 hours of Death Stranding there is a lot of enjoyment to be had while playing. Visually it is also absolutely amazing, although the world can start getting a bit boring after 30-ish hours.

    While the story starts off very well and you become very immersed into the world's lore, it becomes quite stale after about 20 hours or so and Kojima ruins it all with his mandatory government conspiracy plot twist. It is pretty sad to see great actors trying to do the best with a truly horrendous script. There isn't a molecule of subtlety in any sentence of dialogue anywhere. It's all just a mess of terrible exposition and painfully preachy statements that repeat over and over and over.

    The last 3 hours of the game feel like punishment for every moment of fun you had in the prior 25 or so hours. If Death Stranding had ended on a high note I probably would have been able to look past all of its weaknesses but instead it just keeps dragging on and on after which it finishes with a whimper. For that I can't give it more than a 7/10.    … Expand

    It is the typical game that you do not regret having played, it undoubtedly becomes a bit dense and repetitive at some point, but when it is finished it leaves a residue of a different audiovisual experience, which is what I was looking for.

    Technically impressive, stage scale,    It is the typical game that you do not regret having played, it undoubtedly becomes a bit dense and repetitive at some point, but when it is finished it leaves a residue of a different audiovisual experience, which is what I was looking for. Contemplative, immersive and for adults, there are not many games in the catalog that fit that definition.
    Technically impressive, stage scale, lighting, textures, soundtrack ... I've got to spend some time carrying packages enjoying the scenery and its climatic effects ... who would have thought!
    In my case, I was looking for something more contemplative to disconnect and relax ... it totally complies.
    In the weakest points ... the duration, at some point it becomes monotonous and repetitive, being that the combat mechanics are not excellent. The final bosses, gives the feeling of being integrated "by contract" but does not feel with the same care as the rest of the game. The idea of ​​crafting and farming is very good, but it is one step away from being well executed; in my case, it does not generate enough incentive for you to go to collect materials and build new structures, you can progress without doing so and it is perceived as too optional, when it should be one of the cores of the game. Similar happens with the idea of ​​an interconnected world where structures built by other players are integrated; It is a very powerful concept, but it ends up being very accessory when it comes to playing. It is curious that this feeling is present in so many sections of the game, how the use of "likes"; where openly it is not exchanged for anything explicit that changes the experience in the game, which totally dilutes the stimulus to improve. The feeling is that the game was conceived in a brilliant line, and when there were 3 months left they said, stop what you are doing and put in final bosses!
    The story has been liked by many, I suppose it will depend on tastes, it seems too pretentious and convoluted to me, it did not generate much interest at any time. On a positive note, it is very well told, the characters are charismatic and the outcome improves it a lot ... a story, perhaps not to my liking.
    There may be more shadows than lights, but with such a lack of adult games, and the brutal technical finish, it borders on excellent.    … Expand

    Jogo fodástico demais, história envolvente, uma obra-prima para a indústria dos games, quem está procurando um game "fora da curva", diferente de todos, esse é um prato cheio, mas quem não curte algo diferente não se arrisque a comprar, pois esse game não é sua praia.

    Death Stranding is one of the most unique and fresh open world games that I have ever played. I enjoyed everything from the story, to the beautiful world and even the gameplay.

    It's obvious to anyone that Death Stranding is unique. The environments are fcking insane. The music is immersive and I find myself just staring in awe at this fcking beauty of a game.

    Beside that though... It's just boring. I cannot find it in me to enjoy the Deliveroo simulator style of gameplay no matter how many hours I devote to it. It just isn't for me.

    When it comes to the story, well, I just don't get it.

Lots and lots of dialogues in which they try to explain the world and the sci-fi tech involved that didn't catch my interest. I managed to end the game and the ending is not even bad, but it's not enough for me to give more than a 5.

    It's a good game but be prepared to do a lot of deliveries. When I first started this game I would only have given it 3 stars but going back to it, I gave it another try and I found myself enjoying it, maybe it was just my mood at the time. Finally finished it but apart from being a little strange I still found it more of a slow-paced relaxing game.

I walked up Mount Chiliad in GTA V just to enjoy the graphics. I always faced video games above the challenges, as a traveler. Death Stranding is a game made for me. Cross the mountains, cross rivers and forests, enjoy the beauty of the trees and the dazzling gray scenery. I have never felt so calm playing a game. I would just dispense with the fights with the EPs. The story is wonderful. Thank you Kojima. It's the best game ever in my opinion.… Expand

One of the most atmospheric and engaging games that can be both therapeutic and intense. Visuals are breath taking. Atmosphere is very unique. Kojima calls it a new “Strand” genre where while you (and everyone else) play the campaign solo you are creating connections amongst each other and help to rebuild the world of Death Stranding. This coming from someone who really has no time to master the complexity of open worlds or their lore. More for people who like slower CIV and strategy games but enjoy RPGs. Very engaging visuals.

    The stag and the pool.

    It is hard to rate Death Stranding, especially for someone who has played and holds dear Kojima's creations for over 20 years now. I was predisposed to like the game and fully enjoyed 100+ hours for full completion, but the game did not hold up to the initial expectations. It deserves a strong 8, but not more. Story - this is what it's all about, right?! After    The stag and the pool.

    It is hard to rate Death Stranding, especially for someone who has played and holds dear Kojima's creations for over 20 years now. I was predisposed to like the game and fully enjoyed 100+ hours for full completion, but the game did not hold up to the initial expectations. It deserves a strong 8, but not more.
    Story - this is what it's all about, right?!
    After all the mindblowing trailers and mystified info the expectations were obviously over the top. Did the game deliver? Well, not quite. The overly convoluted story is fascinating, the exceptional production value is apparent, well, mostly, excessively repetitive cutscenes during pick-ups and deliveries spoil the impression a bit. But the biggest issue stems from the unseriousness of the presentation. Being sometimes mocking and silly boded well for MGS series, even it's sometimes deliberate cheesiness fit well. But that doesn't go well with Death Stranding, moreover, it crosses the line from entertaining to ridiculous. It gives the impression that Kojima didn't trust himself to present the story in the full seriousness. The overly cheesiness (breaking the fourth wall you say?!) and silliness at some points pull the player out of the immersion and enjoyment.

    Gameplay - this is what everybody was concerned about at the beginning and where the game arguably would fall short: BORING. I can feel others who think like that, but not me. I genuinely enjoyed playing the game. Of course the gameworld and overall atmosphere contributed a lot. There's a constant haunting serenity in Death Stranding, where even strolling from A to B is satisfying. But of course there's not only that. The gameplay is an evolution of MGS V in some sense. Where many games do a good job of providing a smooth progression curve, or upfront allow to play a short portion with a leveled up character, to give a glimpse of what's to come, Death Stranding is unforgiving (especially if you play on Hard difficulty). You are thrown into this hostile world with only a few tools to survive and it's genuinely hard at the beginning, but once you progress, you gain more experience and more gadgets to help you with the deliveries. The progression does not merely make the game easier, but elevates the gameplay to a new level, where the whole gamestyle changes. And when passing through the locations you've visited earlier, you catch yourself occasionally reminiscing on the troubles you've had. The early routine is mainly about anxiously navigating from start to the destination, but as you progress, especially if you go for 100% completion, you spend more time planning optimal routes and resources, and don't hesitate to confront BTs and Mules. Here the whole shared world concept deserves mentioning. Once you open new areas and connect them to the network, you begin sharing the game world with other players. Some aspects of that are very well thought through, like upgrading, repairing and using the structures of other players, or having your structures upgraded and repaired by the others. The structures that prove to be useful are being well taken care of(and of provide many 'likes' - an in-game rating). Some other concepts though, like donating materials, delivering other players' lost cargoes don't provide enough incentive and seem redundant.

    Verdict.
    The game for sure generated divergent opinions. Some consider it Kojima's best creation, others claim Death Stranding is simply an overhyped junk. I say it's definitely worth trying as it provides some unique experience and an interesting story. But once you start, you need to overcome the initial frustration and let the game grow on you.    … Expand

I too was someone that saw this game coming with previews and the reviews I saw really put me off seeing as though it appeared to really just be package delivery boy the game so I didn't buy it. However I just bought the game 4 days ago and I seriously couldn't be more excited to keep playing. About 5 hrs in definitely starts to feel like your doing nothing but after you get to the wind farm things really start to pick up. If your playing or haven't tried it yet all you need to know is yes the beginning is a bit slow but the story keeps you motivated. However if you feel it's starting to drag than just stick to main story missions. After that just make it at least to the lake. Give it to the lake and I promise you will not be able to put it down. I totally understand why people hate this game as its definitly not for everyone. But it is really a fun great game and I'm not even normally a Kojima fan but after this game I sure as hell am a fan kow. This game is great and only gets an 8 because some times it doesn't really drag for a little and a few cheap feeling times enemies caught me that were just impossible to avoid but oh so much fun to try and run away before your able to fight lol… Expand

    El tercer mejor juego que jugue en mi vida,simplemente maravilloso,una historia que es una obra maestra,todos los personajes de 10,exelentes fisicas y una banda sonora brutal,sin mencionar la jugabilidad que ame,ademas se haber innovado mucho.

    I didn't like this game at first because I thought it was just a delivery simulator with ghosts. But after coming back to it, I fell in love with the story and got addicted to the deliveries. In chapter 3 you get to use a vehicle and it makes a huge difference!!! Give this game a chance, this game will grow on you!!

También es largo, prepárate para echarle unas cuantas horas a pasear y pasear y pasear...

    Лучшая игра после Red dead redemption 2. Не жалею что прошёл её. Платина гарантирована. Концовка заставит заплакать даже самого сдержанного.

    The game's user score is %94 on Steam. And you must buy and play the game for write a review on Steam. So, just don’t look at the loser trolls in here. This game is amazing. Beautiful story with experimental gameplay... A Hideo Kojima Game :D

    This isn't a game for everyone. if you want to run around and shoot stuff, have little time, no attention span etc. You won't enjoy this at all.

    It's a generally relaxing game, where you can take your time and look around / enjoy the world, but still requires concentration. There's world building (a type of transport & support network), complex interesting story & characters.

    Combat is generally pretty basic, and i generally enjoyed it as it's not the focus of the game (not a fan of controller shooting games).
    There are some times where the game does drag a little, and i had a short point where I just wanted to finish it. Though I also did spend a lot of time fleshing out the 'network' rather than relying so much on the 'shared' constructions. But after learning of the world, reading all the 'interviews' then carrying on with the story, i didn't want it to end.    … Expand

    First of all, ignore all the reviews from channels such as IGN etc. Go watch the review from Skillup Instead. This is not a game, it's an experience that is going to stay with you. The world is stark and melancholic but then that's the beauty of this title. People call it a walking simulator, yeah it might be that but it's a lot more that kept me going all the way to climax.

    This game simply beautiful! There was a time when I got bored a little bit by the gameplay, but that always happens to me when I play sandboxes. Kojima is great, I can't wait for another title from this guy!

    The word different is the best way to summarize this game if you are a veteran gamer and have seen successful video game genres like shooters and basic open world adventure games like the assassins creed games and the farcry games being used again and again until their whole concept became boring for you this might be the game you want to play . 1-Story

    The story is very confusing and    The word different is the best way to summarize this game if you are a veteran gamer and have seen successful video game genres like shooters and basic open world adventure games like the assassins creed games and the farcry games being used again and again until their whole concept became boring for you this might be the game you want to play . 1-Story

    The story is very confusing and it will stay confusing for many many hours most of the big questions won’t be answered until the ending and this game is long the story is about 30 hours so if you don’t like slow story telling , mystery and reading the lore ( messages and interviews inside the game ) you might not like the story but if you like these type of things like exploring the whole concept of the world setting and all the lore behind it the story will be amazing from your point of view . The characters all have a very detailed story and learning about them is very fun .

    2-World/graphics I played this game on a ps4 pro so basically the best device that could run that game at the time of the release and it is a very good looking game.
    It won’t change the future of graphics in games or anything like that but in my opinion it is one of the best looking games in the ps4 generation and the world of the game helps a lot it is a very pretty world to look at all the rivers , mountains , seas etc it has an amazing depiction of nature. The way the snow changes when you walk on it or the rooks that fall from mountain tops made the world feel alive .

    3-Gameplay Here is the thing most people have a problem with 60% of the game is you walking and managing cargo , 20% is driving , 20% is combat/stealth . This is why I said this game is for people who are sick of traditional games and want something different the walking and balancing mechanics with cargo are ok but they aren’t anything absolutely amazing they are just simply ok and seeing that you will spend 60% of the game just walking with goodish mechanics is a big problem because most people play video games for the action and doing things they could never dream of doing in real life but if you want to try a new kind of video games or simply chill after playing rainbow six siege or cod with the boys you might like the concept . The driving is good there are only 2 vehicles a truck and a bike so you don’t have many options and a bigger problem is lack of roads in the game you can build roads to certain locations but it takes a lot of materials and the places roads go to are limited so most of people will view driving in this game as a way to save time rather than something to enjoy as a part of the game . The stealth is very very basic that’s all I could say about it really. There are 2 types of combat melee combat which is also very basic you can only use your fists and 2 other things ( you can’t even call them weapons ) to hit enemies . Ranged combat is good you have options from a pistol to a rocket launcher and everything in between like an assault rifle , shotgun, different types of grenades and a grenade launcher . There are also different types of ammo that you can use based upon the kind of enemy you are fighting. Generally I really liked the combat it’s nothing revolutionary but it’s good .    … Expand

    Mezcla lo aburrido con lo entretenido.
    El tedio con la recompensa.
    Lo simple en complejo.
    Es una experiencia única. No es para todos los públicos, pero, eso de "walk simulator" no le hace justicia.
    Eres tu y tu soledad. El ingenio y la planificación. El compartir y crear entre todos con su extraño y grandioso modo online.
    Es algo nuevo. Algo íntimo. Me parece una Obra Genuina.

    I'll just say that this game is very misunderstood. Ignore the obvious review bombing, NO GAME that is even somewhat functional should receive less than a 3, let alone it being a KOJIMA game. This game is polished, the gameplay makes a lot of sense. Yes, it is a grind, it is complicated to get good at it at the start, but so is God Of War, Red Dead Redemption 2, etc. My point is: mostI'll just say that this game is very misunderstood.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tedious and bombastic.
    A blockbuster with an overly complex plot and frustrating, slow and boring playable parts.
    I understand that Kojima wants to tell stories through videogames, but there are more successful ways than this, like for example, what he did in the first Metal Gear (the one on PSX, don't get too fine with the one on MSX).
    I found Death Stranding interesting at first, but it quickly became clunky and repetitive. Even confrontations are tedious.
    It is not a difficult game, it is a heavy game.
    I have just finished it and its end has seemed regrettable to me. Too long to tell something bland, in which I have not found a trace of the much vaunted emotionality that the game has been wanted to give. A wildly slow ending, with playable parts between intermittent closing credits and tons of bombastic and absurd verbiage.
    I feel sorry for the actors who had to read the dialogues, really.
    Please, gentlemen: make games that will be GAMES (by definition: fun). If you want to tell stories with tons of straw, do yourself a favor (and by the way, they do it to us) and write a book or dedicate yourself to a non-interactive audiovisual medium.
    Much homo ludens and very little empathy with the player, who has to swallow (again and as it has not happened since MGS4) hours and hours of pseudo-scientific and pseudo-philosophical speech.    … 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.
