    "Death Stranding reinvents how video game design can work. It takes you through an experience you didn’t expect, doesn’t hold back with its design intentions and execution, and takes the gamer through a journey like no other.g

Death Stranding to me is an absolute masterpiece and one of my favorite video games I've ever played. Its so freaking unique and I love it! Its such a nice of breath air from my years of shooters I've played. A common description you could see is "Death Stranding is boring" or "Death Stranding is a walking simulator". Before the game even came out even I was worried I would be too bored of the gameplay but I ended up actually loving the gameplay! To me it is fun, challenging, engaging and quite frankly addicting. I absolutely love the Social Strand System where the players structures show up in others worlds! It is such an innovative and awesome idea to me. Reaching my destination is so satisfying especially when it includes a piece of the game's amazing soundtrack. One of the best soundtracks I've ever heard! Also an underrated part of all games is the sound design, which Death Stranding also has one of the best I've ever heard. Sound design is so hard to nail down and Kojima Productions has incredible audio design and incredible artwork. At some points in the game, it is the best looking game I've ever seen. The story I also love, especially the ending. It is absolutely mind blowing to me how much effort was put in to make this world feel real. So much detail in the history and descriptions.

    I really don't have any negative aspects I can even think of. I kinda wish some of the characters were more interesting and more complex but Sam Porter Bridges and Clifford Unger, especially Cliff, make up for them. I totally understand why people don't like this game because they don't like the game play or the story is too slow or confusing for them.     … Expand

    Finally a game that isn't run of the mill, its hard for developers to break from standard practices as they often know its a $ risk. While certainly not for everyone. The atmospheric approach in this game to thrust a player into a world that doesn't exist is quite impressive, all the while reminding them how human we are.

    It isn't your flashy game that grant you instant gratification like many other games do these days to attract more audience.

    Nor is it fitting within any catergory of games. Most of the time this game has its quiet moments and those moments are absolutely fantastic. While the surrounding and environment makes you truly feel like you're alone. Manifestation of other players can be seen or heard. This makes the game less lonely but yet it feels so desolate. The devs and directing did this absolutely brilliantly.

    The transition within this game is just outright fantastic. Including the acting and cutscenes. Its a very well polished game and very well excecuted. While situated in a serious environment, this game does not stop to show and express the absurdity of what gaming is. A good reflection on life how we shouldn't deny the absurdity of life.

    Ita unique to it's core and there is no other games like this. Which is good.
    Kojima is pushing for something here. And rest assure that in the upcoming near future, many games will apply and use elements of Death Stranding to into their own.

    10/10 give it a shot.    … Expand

It has some action parts, though, but the most important mechanic is go from A to B. This seems pretty simple, but every delivery is a journey.

    I recommend to play it in hard mode. It gets really difficult to traverse some MULE camps and defeat some of the enemies. Technically is the best videogame I've seen in my ps4, the music is mesmerising and the story is well driven and very interesting, more intense than we are used to.
    This is simply a very beautiful game. I finished yesterday and I'm going to keep playing it at least until I get the platinum. We need more "authors" like Kojima. This is a very different game that will become a game of cult, if it isn't yet. Masterpiece.    … Expand

The online helping aspect is cool and interesting.

Unlocking new items and gadgets is fun and always interesting. The whole tone of the game is a breath of fresh air and i love it.

    Let me first start out by saying that it is very evident from some of the lower scored reviews and what they are saying that they have only played the very beginning of the game or haven’t even played it at all. The first 2 episodes are rather slow, and aim to lay the foundation for the story and expose the player to the fundamentals of traversal and cargo management.

The first 2 episodes are rather slow, and aim to lay the foundation for the story and expose the player to the fundamentals of traversal and cargo management. Like other Kojima games this game is huge and opens up after some initial slow chapters. The sheer volume of content from customization, tools, vehicles and weapons you will come across create a varied non repetitive experience. I advise anyone to get to chapter 3 and will in to it before forming an opinion on this game. There is a lot more to it than just going point A to B. That is a review for the first chapter or so. Also like other Kojima games, new abilities, tools and customizations are not spoon fed to you, you must explore the game and help the people in this world before they return the favor and provide you with useful upgrades and tools to help you on your journey west. I very much like this approach, it makes very new tool, vehicle, weapons, etc. feel earned. There is stunning imagery, music and a fascinating story here too. There is a lot under the surface waiting to be discovered. I can say after about 12 hours in this game I feel for it the way I did for Phantom Pain. It is an amazing, detail rich, well thought game that inspires the imagination and encourages the player to really play the game.… Expand

It's one of the weirdest games for me to explain, when it comes to why i enjoy t so much. On paper it sounds extremely boring, but i'm completely hooked. It's so addictive to connect "America" into UCA, and it's such a joy when the cutscenes begin. I've seen alot of people talk about the need to skip minute cutscenes, such as when you go into the rec room where you sleep, shower and look at gear. It's here i have this weird feeling of letting them run, because of my long travels shipping a lot of packages to people in need. Those cutscenes are reused alot, but weirdly fitting, as the gameplay loop is the same. Gear is introduced piece meal, which makes it incredibly rewarding when you get something that eases the delivery.

The story is cohesive, interesting, and each cutscene is masterfully directed and looks like a movie, The gameplay can get stale, but the core gameplay loop is addicting and the game throws enough new gadgets and tools to make things interesting. Combat and BT encounters are meaning full and stressful, and you never feel OP. You feel like a dude trying his hardest to connect America again.

Death Stranding isn’t just a game, it’s an experience, a journey, a marvel. A game that definitely requires patience but is more than rewarded in the long term. There are few minor gripes within the menus, not very clear and precise but minor gripes. This game is important coz it’s about connection, and we all need it. It’s a game of great importance and it’s now we need it.… Expand

This game is amazing... yes, the gameplay is just making deliveries, in the future, where there has been some catastrophic event and society is on the brink of full collapse, and supernatural stuff is going down and you must make move around a vast terrain, sometimes stealthily, to avoid the supernatural stuff and other general scum lurking around just looking to rob you of your cargo. Turns out to be fun gameplay, and no, this is not a murder simulator, so if you have to be shooting someone to have fun, then this is not your game...

    Honestly, if you are looking for a sweet game to play over the Holidays, alone or with friends, and you really want to kill time, this is 100% the thing you want. Even if you screw up the stealth parts of the game, it turns into a trippier plat-former that will blow you and your friend's minds. Reviewers are just leaning into this being a non-game because, I think, they know most their subscribers or readers won't play the game given it is not a killing game, so they are just creating content to appease any FOMO these people who need murder simulation in their games to have fun. The thing is, EVERYBODY WHO DOES NOT PLAY THIS GAME WILL BE MISSING OUT.

    On top of the gameplay is a 10+ hour movie inserted via the now infamous cut scenes that should be common place in today's video game market, but somehow you risk getting "review bombed" if you do this is a game (wtf?)

    I'm only giving this a 9/10 and not a 10/10 because I don't understand why I can not rotate the topography map to see the terrain and lock in a rotated map so I can plot my courses better. I still assume I am missing something because it feels dumb to just let us kinda make way points by hitting the big touchscreen button, rotating the controller while setting a marker, but I feel so stupid and incompetent trying to make way points like that. Still, just running where it seems I can run works out for me, but the setting of way points doesn't feel "finished", just kinda abandoned or implemented under false premises about what they think players should be allowed to do... i don't know, but no reviewer online has touched on the way point system other than hype up the topography feature which I can't seem to use how one would assume one could be able to.

    I own a X Box One X, PS4 and Switch and Game Pass is where I play my arcade like fun stuff, just have the PS4 for exclusives and THIS IS THE ONLY GAME TO MAKE ME HAPPY I HAVE A PS4 since Spider-Man... I am not buying a PS5; my XBox One X has assumed the crown and not going back.

    Games like Death Stranding make me happy I still have a PS4, this is the game of the year too, imo, shame on any professional video game reviewer who gives this anything below like a 8.5... games have not been that great this year outside of like the new Fire Emblem, even that one was like... why am I a teacher? Still fun, but Death Stranding, visuals, ambience, music, acting, GAMEPLAY!!!, controls... everything is amazing, but the map/waypoint/topography map system.

    If I were Sony, just put out ads with 80% gameplay to the tune of Connected by Radio MC's... surprised those didn't happen prior to the release of the game. Seems they felt YouTuber headwind would be no match for a sick ad campaign?

    Oh yeah, and I upped the rating to a 10 because of all the wack reviews giving a 1... people who reviewed this as a 1 should be shamed a year or two from now... like, if you reviewed God of War 4 a 1, you should have a "Dunce Hat" like icon on your reviewer name tag... Same should go for Death Stranding cause this is legit, any child, adolescent or adult can have a sick immersive experience that has all the depth great art allows; this is a game you think about for days between when you play and after; everything one looks for and craves in art and Death Stranding shows video games are ripe for art, and yes, your gameplay has to be fun and this gameplay is fun... it's Katemari Domacy addictive fun, and Kojima does a great job making this game not too scary. I hate horror movies for the most part, unless the director is truly skilled and understands what truly draws most people into the essence of horror, the unknown. Anyways, just buy this and play this... if you have friends, invite them over for the beginning, play with friends or alone, just have your mind blown. There... another slogan for Sony...    … Expand

    By no means a game everyone should play and definitely not one everyone will like, Death Stranding is the most unique gaming experience I've ever played and at least deserves recognition for its originality. It hardly fits in a genre and as much as people have boiled it down to a "delivery/walking simulator", this is ultimately true. This does not however capture what makes this gameBy no means a game everyone should play and definitely not one everyone will like, Death Stranding is the most unique gaming experience I've ever played and at least deserves recognition for its originality. It hardly fits in a genre and as much as people have boiled it down to a "delivery/walking simulator", this is ultimately true. This does not however capture what makes this game special. Its control scheme is unlike anything I've ever used, its story is complete insanity, the graphics are extraordinary, the atmosphere is melancholy and the philosophical implications are pretentious yet important.

    Death Stranding makes no apologies for wasting your time, and will often see you travelling for miles with a package for delivery. The environment is harsh, challenging and dramatic, with huge cliffs, raging rivers, endless deserts and packed forests standing between you and your destination within post-apocalyptic America. The journey is, in my opinion, riveting despite the lengths you need to go to. Travelling with your companion baby-in-a-jar (I repeat, the story is insanity), you use ropes, ladders, vehicles and your bare hands to make your way to the few remaining human outposts. It's a lonely, pensive experience punctuated by truly terrifying encounters with BTs, the monsters of the story. They appear at random, with the real-time weather system, and never fail to send me into a blind panic as they attempt to drown me in a lake of oily shadow. Your carefully balanced package (this is a whole game mechanism) will almost certainly fall, become damaged and battling the monsters is never an easy feat. The sense of danger is palpable at all times and truly one of the best horror experiences of late. Gunplay isn't amazing, but does the job.

    The act of 'connecting' the country by travelling its width and setting up communication towers is really cool and the passive co-op play, in which you can provide structures and items to other players and vice versa makes for a truly individualistic approach where your whole game is constantly evolving. You can co-operatively build roads through a rocky terrain, send supplies to your friends, deliver their dropped packages and so on, and communicate with them through 'likes' - how dystopian.

    The story is typical Kojima pretentious nonsense and I absolutely love it. Technology, religion, paranormality, society, politics, history, science, it's all here. And trust me that it is worth it. The origin story of the Clifford character is one of the most intense, thought-provoking and well-written arcs in a game to date, for me.

    Playing this game cannot be succinctly described and I can't fit it all into this review. I'll just say that it isn't like anything I've experience and I loved every second. It's frustrating, alienating, lonely, confusing and mimics the emotions of every day life, but also contains sparks of joy, accomplishment, drama and intrigue. It's one of the best times I've had since buying my PS4 and must be experienced on a personal basis - don't listen to me or someone else's opinion as gospel. If you're willing to accept something out-of-the-box, go for it. The amount of detail and love put into this dazzling audio-visual experience is staggering and it's as satisying to complete as you'd imagine. Beauty in monotony, a sense of pride in humble actions and the sense of scale in the smallest of areas, Death Stranding contradicts what games have always been and lays the road for something completely new to take its place next to the big-shots.

    This game is NOT a walking simulator. It's a world builder. It just doesn't tell you that. The cargo isn't the objective, the objective is the realisation that your pain is shared with every players playing the game, and that each and every one makes the lives of other easier, whether you mean to or not.

    When you start connecting the world with ziplines, highways, repair stations, the game makes more and more sense. You change the way you build. You change your thinking. You start building in ways that makes you think "where would I place this such that it benefits people making this particular route?", you start seeing the game world in a different way "there's a gap there in the network, where players taking that route would not have a rest stop/zipline" and you go there and start making it.

    You still hate the game. But it's not longer the one you're playing    … Expand

    Si tu intención es pegar tiros todo el juego te pones el Fornite niñato.

    All I will say is stick with it, it’s meant to be difficult, slow traversing the landscape. It’s supposed to frustrate but get to act 3 and the game opens up which contextualises the opening. The social system of coming together to beat the landscape reveals itself and for me the gameplay loop was addictive. It really makes you think about the people who follow literally in your footsteps.All I will say is stick with it, it’s meant to be difficult, slow traversing the landscape.

    This game is a masterpiece. It does require to get into it, so patience is key. I see that a lot of bad reviewers haven’t even own the game and just spew lie about it. Production quality is top notch and it’s really groundbreaking!

    People go hell or heaven still enjoy their life. The spiritualists say heaven and hell are here. It's what you do "You Love Living". Here is the journey. It feels breathtaking in every step.This is the change and there are lame reviews who couldn't accept it. Enjoy this revolutionary game.

    Death Stranding - this game is not for everyone! Therefore, I think stupids those who put game below 7. I agree, the gameplay can be boring and even annoying, but this is the feature of the game! For to associate himself with the main character, how difficult it is for him, how annoying it all is. In game from Kojima is always a quality storyline, I think the DS storyline is better thanDeath Stranding - this game is not for everyone! Therefore, I think stupids those who put game below 7.

    Phenomenal game, I'm only 6 hours in but the time has flown by. There is a lot of walking but when a game is as stunning as this, you really don't mind and the story so far is excellent.

    As I said earlier this game was full of high expectations and many people will upset. For me, this game is beautiful in all respects. Gameplay mechanics, graphics, world, and the Story everything are beautiful. Already played 40h and even did not finish half of the game.
    Thank you, Kojima Productions!
    Best,

Cuando mirad el juego como a cualquier otro juego, mapa grandísimo, ir de punto A a punto B, en alguno juegos matando maquinas, en otros persiguiendo a alguien y en este repartiendo mercancía muy importante en un mundo post apocalíptico te das cuenta que al final no se diferencia de otros juegos que siempre te gustaron y empiezas a perder el miedo y a centrarte en la historia, la cual hasta el momento pinta muy bien. Merece la pena jugarlo.

    EDITO: Ya he terminado el juego y le tengo que subir la nota. El juego a medida que vas avanzando te va sorprendiendo cada vez más y el final te deja muy WTF. Es un juego muy largo, de los juegos con historia más largos que haya jugado nunca, el juego parece que termina (con créditos y todo) y continúa varias horas más hasta el verdadero final. Es un juego muy recomendado pero necesita tiempo.    … 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.
