That being said, I easily give the gameplay 9/10, as I never got bored... and the first 7-10 Hrs are slow-paced and punishing for a reason. Beyond those hours, the game only got better and better.

    The only down-side of this game is missions for story-mode, which is kinda repetitive. Wait... didn't we see it before somewhere ??? (cough cough... Phantom Pain... which was praised by everyone) If this game has a repetitive mission design, I blame the reviewers and users of Phantom Pain for not pointing it out back then.

    Lots of innovative ideas, along with a good social system to indirectly bring all the players together in a very positive way. Really good system/level design, where the world itself becomes an obstacle as you explore. The farther you go, the more challenges you face, the better rewards you get to overcome all the difficulties. The progression system is really good.

    The story is decent as well. I am not a big fan of Kojima story-telling tbh, but he nailed it in death stranding. The suspense is there, and is a good one.

    For more in-depth understanding you may watch these two videos as I agree with them both:

    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

    К чему я это? Да ответ очень прост, игровая индустрия тонет в онлайнмультиплеерных играх склонных к принуждению игрока к изощренным способам мастурбации и выход таких сильных сингловых проектов в теории должен быть новостью и событием, тут нужно сделать ремарку что на самом деле этой игре нужно было выходить в форме No Mans Sky, но имеем что имеем, сильный сингл с социальными элементами, лично меня заставившими часов 10 вместо игры помогать другим игрокам различными строениями, лично построил 5 кусков дороги на второй карте, и парадокс эта магия работает, видеть что ты помог абсолютно незнакомым тебе людям - работает. Геймплей лично мне не наскучивал даже в начале, слишком цепляющий, а в эндгейме это вообще близко к шедевру по механикам.

    Gameplay boring, mechanics are horrible and the interface is the worst that I ever seen. The only good thing is the history and the characters. The gameplay is tiring, it seems like a postman simulator, the 90% of gameplay is deliveries for long places that makes you tired.

    Not a masterpiece!

    I completely agree with the negative reviews for this game but this is one of my favorite games of the decade, i urge everyone to at least try out this game for a couple hours so that they can understand how unique this game is because no review can accurately sum up the gameplay or story, while this game isnt for everyone, its certainly for me

    DS is just a pretentious, over the top, hilariously cheesey and self aware walking simulator dipped in indie sweat.

    The sheer polish here makes it slightly above average UPS delivery sim.

    Great story, good involving atmosphere, great graphics.
    Gameplay sometimes interesting, game adds new mechanics when it's about to get boring.
    But when game tries to be a shooter - gameplay becomes frustrating on high difficulty.
    On-line functionality really fits this game.

    Death Stranding, no es bueno pero tampoco es malo. Tiene una buena historia la cual a palabras del propio creador Hideo Kojima se pone mas interesante cuando llegas a la mitad del juego.

    Hablando de enemigos, son repetitivos. La IA de este juego es pésima, los bosses muy bien diseñados pero son muy fáciles de derrotar incluso en la dificultad máxima.

    Este juego no es para todos. Si quieres jugarlo te recomiendo que rentes el juego ya que desde mi punto de vista 60$ por un juego como este no vale tanto la pena.    … Expand

Only negative experience I have in this game is the vehicle physics. Motorcycles were kinda okay, but the truck.. hell.

Para mí es un juego excelente, una historia y narrativa muy buena, personajes muy carismáticos, especialmente Mads Mikkelsen, un gameplay que, a pesar de que a priori no me llamara, engancha como pocos juegos (79 horas en 11 días de los cuales 25 horas son después de ver el final de la historia lo dicen todo), la banda sonora y el apartado gráfico y artístico son de otro mundo. Tiene sus fallos, uno de ellos son los jefes EV, que a pesar de que son visualmente espectaculares, las mecánicas que tienen y tu poca velocidad de movimiento en combate los hace poco memorables, no es así en los jefes humanos que sí me han parecido muy buenos, también debo mencionar que los capítulos 3 y 6 pueden llegar a hacerse algo largos, pero a parte de eso el juego no me ha aburrido en ningún momento. Los campamentos de mulas y terroristas en "difícil" (que es como yo he jugado) me han parecido un reto y debes usar muy bien la estrategia y ser preciso, si vas a lo loco vas a morir, no eres Rambo ni Solid Snake, lo que muchos tachan de mal shooter a mí me parece algo realista, no me parecería normal que un hombre que se dedica a repartir paquetes empiece a repartir tiros y cargarse una base de terroristas él solo. En resumen, un gran juego me ha parecido uno de los mejores de esta generación y un soplo de aire fresco, espero que Kojima vuelva a hacer otros juegos diferentes, la industria está saturada de siempre lo mismo. Recomiendo a todo el mundo que haya jugado juegos más calmados que le de una oportunidad, no creo que decepcione a muchos (obviamente si sois jugadores que buscáis acción a raudales no lo compréis).… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very strange game,but i liked it very much,very unique in every way,more like a movie with elements of gameplay. Like Kojima said,not many ppl gonna like it,but those who do will love it. I totally understand what he was trying to create and the more you progress the more stuff you get that will ease your journeys. Yes,the game has many problems,like OK physics and poor combat system,but the game didnt bored me at all because each time when i was about to get bored the game would just throw a new mechanic into my face and i would think how can i use it and where to test it. Elements of multiplayer,if you can even call it a multiplayer, are very good.
    A game that is different from anything we know so far,that's why people don't like it i guess.
    And no,a walking simulator becomes interesting with time when you get different difficulties on your way.

    Death Stranding es unir el vasto mundo de Zelda Breath of the Wild pero vaciando el mapa, es la lentitud de Red Dead Redemption pero sin posibilidad de que ocurran cosas, es la exploración de los walking simulators pero mal ejecutada.

    Las misiones tanto principales como secundarias consisten en viajes de un punto A al punto B y son bastante largos y tediosos, sin nada importante o que    Death Stranding es unir el vasto mundo de Zelda Breath of the Wild pero vaciando el mapa, es la lentitud de Red Dead Redemption pero sin posibilidad de que ocurran cosas, es la exploración de los walking simulators pero mal ejecutada.

    Las misiones tanto principales como secundarias consisten en viajes de un punto A al punto B y son bastante largos y tediosos, sin nada importante o que te entretenga en el camino, mas que escalar y cruzar ríos, y evitar caer por las piedras y dañar tu carga. Las misiones se tornan repetitivas y aburridas acentuado por un mundo inmensamente vacío y tedioso.

    Al principio, controlar a Sam (Norman Reedus) se hace algo divertido viendo cómo se cae cargando los paquetes y tropezando con las rocas que hay por todo un paisaje lleno de montañas, acantilados y ríos. Pero una vez que llevas más de 10 horas dando tumbos, todo se vuelve muy repetitivo entregando paquetes de un lado a otro en un mundo inexistente de vida, con enemigos que aparecen de la nada cada cierto tiempo y que tienen una IA muy mala, más, con algún que otro bug añadido es cuando te llega el gran bajón. Un sistema de batalla, lento, flojo y que es un paso atrás respecto a MGV. Es inusual que el mayor enemigo en el videojuego sean las rocas y los entornos escarpados a pesar de haber también batallas contra jefes, los cuales son las peores batallas contra criaturas enormes que nunca hubiera podido imaginar, simplemente tienes que escapar de ellas mientras les avientas tu mierda y sangre en forma de granadas (no es broma). Estas peleas las puedes evitar fácilmente si escapas en linera recta de ellas.

    Más adelante consigues vehículos como la moto, pero constantemente te obligan a abandonarlos para seguir el resto del camino a pie. Cuando completas una misión recibes una enorme cinemática y después te dejan a Sam (Norman) en su habitación bañándose, tomando Monsters y otras tantas cosas innecesarias como romper la cuarta pared, o sea kojimadas en toda la habitación. Sobre el niño, feto BB o como quieras llamarlo, solo diré me recordó al molesto bebe Mario xD

    Llega el momento en el que te preguntas ¿qué clase de videojuego es este? ¿Lo hicieron de esta manera para aburrir a los que lo juegan?

    No hay nada que haga sentir que tu tiempo y esfuerzos sirven para algo, ni tan siquiera el "online" entre otros jugadores dando 'likes' llega a ser tan divertido. Las construcciones y escaleras muchas veces son inútiles y si por ejemplo hay dos puentes en un mismo rió solo uno servirá para tu viaje, el otro peor ubicado estará condenado a desaparecer por inútil.

    Ajeno a la falta de elementos en el entorno, gracias al motor gráfico se consiguen muchos paisajes preciosos, no hay duda en ello, pero está casi totalmente vacío, no entiendo porque no llenar el mapa con cosas interesantes que hacer como pasa con cualquier otro juego de este tipo. Las cinemáticas y calidad gráfica son de alto nivel, la historia es interesante pero no lo suficiente para mantenerte atento durante prolongadas cinemáticas entre una fase y otra. Tiene una excelente banda sonora, música que encaja muy bien con lo que se ve, pero no con lo que haces en el juego, hacer de las misiones de recadero misiones principales que en los demás juegos son secundarias es un error.

    En resumen, Death Stranding no es un buen videojuego, es muy lento, repetitivo y parece que quiere que el jugador abandone lo antes posible.

    ¿Lo recomendaría? ¡No! sería un pecado recomendar este intento de película con un gameplay que seguro le agregaron al último momento cuando se dieron cuenta que estaban haciendo en realidad un videojuego.

    -Gameplay: 1.0 (físicas del juego mal elaboradas, además de gameplay repetitivo y muy aburrido).
    -Gráficos: 8.5 (Un juego hermoso visualmente pero vacío, pero para ser el motor de guerrilla se pudo pulir más los gráficos in game).
    -Sonidos: 8.0 (banda sonora y efectos sonoros muy buenos).
    -Mecanicas 1.0 (decepcionantes).
    -Controles: 4.0 ( encontré que los menús son poco intuitivos, además de estar haciendo siempre equilibrio con el personaje, es casi lo único que haces al jugar)
    -Narrativa: 7.5 (historia interesante y rara que intenta dejar un mensaje pero repite las mismas cosas una y otra vez, subestima la inteligencia del espectador constantemente)

    -Comentario propio: a mi parecer es el peor juego que ha hecho Kojima.

    For as much whining there is the game is actually decent. Anyone's opinion who didn't make it past chapter 3 is pretty void. Kojima games arent known for their fast paced starts. Sure its repetitive but game gets better as you progress.

    Self indulgent nonsense. All style and no substance. Terrible gameplay and boss fights. Cringe-inducing and repetitive cutscenes (special mention to that Baywatch one). A black hole of a game.

    Great game, the best game released in years. Ignore the haters and try it yourself. Such an obvious review-bombing troll campaign. Death Stranding is perfect, it's exactly what the industry needs.

    The main character is basically silent during all the conversations making him hard to like. It only takes 10 minutes to walk 1/5th of the US but the same amount of time to shower, piss and **** I am still in shock over how bad the combat and boss fights are. Its like playing a really bad mobile game

    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

    Как мне лично показалось на этот проект не надо смотреть как на игру, а как на художественное произведение например как книга или стихотворение. Кто то может не понять и ориентироваться только на геймплей, а не на сам сюжет, а кто то может полностью прочувствовать домыслы автора. Не удивительно что мнения разделились. Интересно то что сам геймплей не плох. Просто он заставляет задуматься,Как мне лично показалось на этот проект не надо смотреть как на игру, а как на художественное произведение например как книга или стихотворение.

Интересно то что сам геймплей не плох. Просто он заставляет задуматься, опять же кто то любит быстрый геймплей и при этом все говорили что игра божественная и например какой нибудь игрок tf2, overwatch и т.д. (Не говорю что они глупые) садятся с надеждой что игра будет реально классной а тут оказывается что нужно делать одно и тоже постоянно и в почти однообразном мире. Я лично пока играл и делал "Одно и тоже" почувствовал транс или какую ту гармонию от геймплея. Но вот одинаковые анимации доставки груза, подключение к хиральной сети довольно быстро надоели, с этим я соглашусь. Что можно сказать: Лор и сюжет отличный и это мало сказано, геймплей не для всех, небольшие проблемы есть, графика отличная. Сама задумка очень неординарная для наших времен, это некий эксперимент, который привнес очень многое. И если честно, то такого сюжета и лора я давно в играх не встречал.… Expand

    I loved this game.
    Here are the reasons why: Death Stranding offers a unique game play experience - something refreshing and different. The plot line, although sometimes a bit convoluted and out there, is very rewarding in the end and inspired me to think about it long after I had finished the game.

    I appreciated that the whole experience was a rather slow burn, giving the beautiful world and the characters Sam meets during his journey time to sink in.
    Another think I would like to point out is the multiplayer-aspect. I love how it created a positive sense of community in a game that focuses before all else on connections. Also, I cannot count the times other players made an otherwise hard struggle so much easier for me. Therefore I gladly gave back.

    There are two mildly negative things which caused my 9 point rating. On a normal difficulty setting I found that the boss battles where oftentimes to easy (although they get a bit more challenging as the game progresses). Besides that I would have wished for more variables regarding settlements.

    All in all the long wait was more than worth it for me.    … Expand

    Outstanding game! Didn’t know what to expect and I had such a blast with it. The fact that I can play and enjoy this game at my own pace is amazing. For the cons the gameplay feels a bit clunky at times. But other than that It’s stellar. It’s good to see an AAA game trying to do something different and not stick to what other mainstream games do.

    Don't listen to any of those "red" reviews, none of them actually played this game till the end. This game is more like Tarantino movies: deep dialogues, deep music, deep story, deep character development. So just play it, feel it and you wont regret it.

    Extremely tiring game, the only strengths of the game is the story and the graphics, but the gameplay is extremely boring and time consuming, which only postpones the conclusion of the story with extremely tedious gambling, to the point of losing the desire to finish the game. after 10 hours of gameplay

    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.
