    Отличная игра. Особенно хорошим вышел сюжет, так что 10 и только 10. Так же прекраснаы музыка и атмосфера. Уникальный геймплей,что не даст заскучать . You can see a lot of haters or fanboys voting without play the game

    you should not have a hive mind about this game, just because people are dumb enough that they don't understand the meaning of original or unique (which by the way nothing is unique or original all the original things were created already in a technical way) so if you wanna immerse yourself in a world full of weird things and actually get to play something unique for once and not another shooter or open world with a quest every five minutes, give it a shot    … Expand

    I really don't understand people saying "It's a walking simulator". Okay maybe it is, but for sure it's not that simple and besides you have to face BT'S and Mule-s which WILL get guns after time. So don't believe reviews saying that mules are easy and boring, cause they are getting better with a time.. lot better.

So don't believe reviews saying that mules are easy and boring, cause they are getting better with a time.. lot better.
    I think a lot of reviews are from players who tried to "eat" the hole game in 9 hours and made review, without even trying to understand the storyline, and not getting the true potential behind the gameplay. Who said that this game it's monotonous are probably just too lazy to play the game... Every trip is an other experience with new possibilities to get through the new obstacles at road, and game is not easy (if you don't agree, have you even got to hell mountain?). If you want to understand the story even better you just have to read some e-mails, and if you can't understand anything till your 9 hours of gameplay don't be worried, even people don't understand the reason behind the death stranding. If you prefer shooting, the game wasn't for sure for you from the very beggining, what could you expect from kojima? Metal gear solid weren't shooters, and in fact they also had a lot of cutscenes (especially first mgs games) and not that lot of shooting, they were also steady gameplays same as Death stranidng. So if you prefer shooters, the game wasn't for you from very beggining, and seriously, don't try to play hole game in 10 hours and write a review, with time the gameplay intensifies as hell, sneaking and running aaround mule-s with weapons, shooting down bt's, it gets really intresting in time, and story? when it starts you will know one thing, you're already addicted.
    And to all people who expected rough action gameplay, man don't the game is bs just because the game is not your style of gameplay, just write a review with saying that the game is not amazing for you and if you don't like it that means this game is **** You have to see that, there are people who love this kind of gameplay, and this game is perfect for them. And one more thing, don't expect too much, instead try to not expect nothing at all this way you will for sure not be dissapointed
    That's all i have to say, thank you for your patience    … Expand

Que ca soit les musiques, sa réalisation, son histoire, son casting même son gameplay qui peut en rebuter plus d'un, a mon sens rien n'est a jeter. J'ai beaucoup de mal à lui trouver un défaut, j'ai trouvé que tout était cohérent. On peut parler de Walking simulator, uber simulator ou ce que vous voulez, mais trouvez moi un seul créateur qui ai déjà eu le culot de faire ce que Kojima à fait avec ce jeu et aussi bien. J'ai ressenti la fatigue et la lourdeur des différents voyages sans pour autant en être lassé, j'ai même fait plusieurs livraisons secondaires juste pour pouvoir profiter des panoramas que le jeu m'offrait. Personnellement, c'est le seul jeu dans lequel j'ai préféré avoir des fins de voyage sur fond de musique que récolter de nouveaux items pour mieux avancer. Juste à penser à l'air de BB's theme j'ai des frissons. Pour moi cette œuvre mélange parfaitement jeux-vidéo et cinéma.
    Et enfin, quand on voit le premier trailer de 2016 puis ceux qui ont suivi, je ne comprenais pas du tout où ca allé m'emmener, et je me demandais de plus en plus si ce jeu finirait par avoir du sens. Et bien, après l'avoir fini j'ai été entièrement satisfait, j'ai même re-regarder le premeir trailer pour voir si celui-ci n'était pas incohérent et si ca collé avec le jeu fini, et bien évidemment c'est le cas.
    Merci Kojima pour ce chef-d'œuvre que je me referai juste pour les frissons qu'il me procure.    … Expand

And the fact we can't just do everything in one screen, like recycling, it's for some reason on another menu. Rather than just an option you can press in the cargo menu. Now I'll say some of the goods to contrary the bad of the game. The environment is super beautiful and super challenging, there isn't a part where you're bored, if I can say so myself, as the environment is an enemy itself. And there are countless of BD territory and MULE territory to spice it up even more. It's super fun all of the challenges and gameplay stuff you'll encounter. There's never a dull moment! But I would say put a higher difficulty than normal, the game was a little easier for me. But it was still fun nonetheless. I would totally recommend this game for anyone!… Expand

What I like most about the online mechanics is that it is not intrusive, you know its there but it still feels like a single player RPG. The story is amazing so far but personally, what really excels in this game is the visuals. I am playing in 4K HDR and this game is absolutely stunning! The lanscapes, the gameplay and the cutscenes are all incredible. Well done Kojima and thank you for this amazing game!… Expand

    The game is wonderfully written in it's execution from the reluctant hero Sam, to the bizarre scifi/supernatural concept it's based in and around. The game takes basis of our past to create a narrative, and does so well when you allow yourself to get lost in it and take time to read the recovered archives, emails, and more sent to Sam.

    In essence, you've got a game that tells a wonderful story, while also being a message, for those willing to look deeper and see it. The best part are negative reviews, once you play and understand the message and medium that Death Stranding is, you realize negative reviews are kind of funny. :>

    With the awesome story woven into gameplay meant to be enjoyed, and paced, you have a deeper message that half the people who play the game will not catch, and that's just the nature of the beast these days. Hopefully it changes. -- More on that below.

    Negative reviews are exactly what they show for the most part, people that don't understand the game because instead of investing to learn and see exactly how Sam is doing what we don't do today: The leg work to connect with people, face to face, instead of over a socially disconnected network.

    The game blatantly throws the disconnected social aspect at you via Sam, one man played by many people, reconnecting the world. You hear from NPCs how they seem him everywhere, how could be be one man, etc.

    It's more than a game, it's a message for those willing to wake. (Even this is parodied by nightmares throughout the game in the private room.)    … Expand

    I've almost put in 60h in the game. The reason I've not advanced too far is partly cause I'm sharing the story experience with a friend but also cause there's a lot to do anyway. The pace is good for this genre. Now if I don't find something enjoyable or it turns to **** I'll adjust the score accordingly. As of yet though, it's been an amazing ride!    … Expand

    O jogo é meio lento no começo com cut scenes muito longas sim mas elas servem para te situar no que está acontecendo no jogo. Assim que o capítulo 3 começa o jogo engrena e fica muito bom. Não se deixe levar por esses haterzinhos que só viram uma ou outra review no YouTube.

    Death Stranding is an utter masterpiece ! The asynchronous multiplayer component is a generation defining feature that future games will adopt no doubt. It's extremely slow paced at the start and the long exposition filled storytelling won't be for everyone but those who are used to Kojima's brand of storytelling will be right at home here.

    Fantastic game that requires a lot of thinking, and some intelligence to follow what is going on. Which explains why a lot of people don't get this game.. lets face it, most gamers are low IQ clowns whos simple intellect draws them to simple games like fortnite. I'd give this game an 8.5, but I will leave a 10 to make up for these losers 0's

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this game isn't for everyone, the game play can get repetitive it's a slow burn to say the least
    things really start picking up after episode 3
    there is a huge world, full of beautiful landscapes, an intricate environment system where walking becomes part of the game play loop
    there is a variety of methods for transportation as well from trikes, trucks, carriers, and even zip lines
    the inventory system is the most fun i've had with anything of the sorts since resident evil 4
    and if you're not into sorting it out yourself, they do have the easy auto sort button to get you on the go quicker
    the characters are all very well developed, the animations smooth as butter, the voice acting is fantastic
    the story is easily the main highlight of the game
    you unlock a lot more about the story and additional information about characters, the world, and so on through mail and interviews, there's a variety of lethal and nonlethal weapons
    the game doesn't hold your hand to help guide you to where you need to go, which isn't a problem to me, i consider this to be an added benefit to a true open world experience
    where you have to actually discover your own paths, figure out if you want to go the safe route or go in the more dangerous routes where you'll encounter BTs, or even MULEs, there's a small variety of enemies which could be improved upon, and the lack of an in game music player while you're walking or the ability to listen to the interviews or something is pretty bad
    overall i'd highly recommend it if you are into exploring vast environments, interesting characters and lore, a game about creating connections with people, and building a world by yourself or with people around the world, it's truly something unique, and i hope more people open up to it, it's great for what it is, and it's exactly what it was set out to be since it was shown at the tokyo game show    … Expand

    A história: Ela como um todo é perfeitamente explicada e desenvolvida. A forma com que tudo evolui é muito interessante e te deixa surpreso(a) várias vezes. Entretanto, alguns temas e personagens do jogo poderiam ter sido mais explorados, mas isso é uma opinião minha.

    Sobre a gameplay: Eu gostei muito, ela é bem envolvente e te dá prazer em controlar o personagem. Algumas pessoas reclamaram dos veículos, pelo fato dos mesmos não passarem em qualquer terreno, o que é um absurdo, pois se os veículos passassem em lugares de difícil locomoção, o jogo perderia sua graça e dificuldade.

    O jogo como um todo é magnífico, e as vezes eu nem acreditava estar jogando algo com tamanha qualidade. Death Stranding trouxe um frescor pro mercado que está muito carente de jogos originais, criativos, e de uma boa qualidade.    … Expand

    La historia aun que rara al principio se acaba explicando muy bien de una forma muy natural, este juego entra fácilmente en mi top juegos de toda la vida.
    Comentando lo que dice mucha gente de que es tedioso, esa es la idea, el juego tiene que sentirse difícil, tedioso y frustrarte así cuando completas diferentes "zonas" o incluso acabas el juego te sientes muy realizado y la historia no tendría sentido, sin entrar en spoilers al final el viaje tiene que haber sido difícil y duro para que todo tenga sentido
    PD: Me he pasado el juego en difícil no se realmente en que afecta la dificultad, quizás solo a los combates o quizás a muchas mas cosas pero me parecía importante decirlo    … Expand

    This game was intriguing since the very first teaser: great graphics, great music, Norman Reedus, and a dark, supernatural setting of some sort. Now, 3 years later, I can finally say that Death Stranding is everything I had expected and wanted, and more.

Now, 3 years later, I can finally say that Death Stranding is everything I had expected and wanted, and more.

    The game's story starts out a bit slow if you've seen the trailers, as most info is just from those, but it doesn't take long until we dive deeper into the world and story and characters of DS.
    I've come to love all characters. Not only Sam, but also Fragile, Deadman, Die-Hardman, Heartman, even Higgs, etc. They are so well designed and thought out, it was easy to be immersed and laugh and cry with them.
    The world is absolutely beautiful, and terrifying. The graphics are off the charts, and some of the cutscenes have better facial animation than even Detroit had (which is still top class in facial graphics).
    The gameplay is rather unique - and I can see that people who prefer fast paced action games, or games that are easy where you can shut off your brain and relax might not enjoy it. However, I personally am a fan of gameplay that isn't too easy, but is detailed and requires you to think or else you face consequences. It's an absolute joy to fulfil orders and travel through the world, building ladders, bridges, and more, to connect this beautiful world.
    The multiplayer aspect reminds me of Dark Souls, but is even more strictly positive. You share other players' structures and can receive their help during fights, and more.
    I've played around 100 hours until I reached the ending, and I still have many more side missions to do before I am done with this game.
    Kojima outdid himself with Death Stranding. The story is amazing and made me cry so much. The characters are lovable and smart. The gameplay is fun and relaxing at times, almost horror-game-like at others.

    I absolutely loved this game. Is it perfect? No, but there are no perfect games out there. My main critique would be that I'd have liked the side characters like Heartman to have a deeper and longer story.
    I'd give it an 8/10 objectively, but since I personally loved it, it gets a 10/10 from me.
    I'd still recommend this, if you like games that make you think and that feel, and if you are someone who enjoys dark, detailed supernatural stories, then definitely give it a try!

    PS: Please ignore the vast amount of negative reviews that just say the game is boring or a "walking simulator" - there is a big group of people who blindly hate everything Kojima just cause, they never even played the game.    … Expand

    Это действительно гениальный проект, после концовки которой ты просто не можешь сдержать слез. Мурашки по коже и максимальная удивленность от конца сделали свое дело. Теперь это моя самая любимая игра...

    It's the best game if you're in like. New style challenge is good. If you like strategy style, you might want to try it.

    Is not only a game, is a entire message to the future generation of people, and games. Connection with others is the key to save the future.
    It is the only video game that not only enjoy it; it made me think, it made me look beyond, it made me excited and made me understand that all we have are the people connected to us.

    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.
