    This game is obviously not going to appeal to everyone, there’s simply not enough shooty shooty pew pew pew for the average gamer who only has a few hours to play and wants something fast and exciting. I can see why this game is getting such mixed reviews.

I can see why this game is getting such mixed reviews.

    But, if you go into this knowing it’s a different type of game, knowing that it’s a hell of a slow burn gameplay wise (so much so it makes RDR2’s opening chapters appear like a Wipeout race) and remember that it ain’t a MGS sequel either you’d be pleasantly surprised.

    Yes it’s a walking game, on paper that sounds like a bad concept, but somehow the mechanics and the world you’re in keep you going and let’s face it Kojima is a bit on the bonkers side.

    I’d imagine that if AC Odyssey had a more developed system of getting around instead of holding a button to climb everything, this style of ‘walking mechanics’ would have been far better received and that’s ultimately what’s holding Death Stranding back from main stream praise, the delivery of boxes ideally need to be broken up with different activities.

    Here’s hoping that any Death Stranding sequel builds upon this formula and adds more (a lot more) different gameplay mechanics around this frankly awesome idea.

    Should you buy and play Death Standing??

    Who the hell knows? This game is weird, and I love it    … Expand

    Unlike any other game I've experienced before, Death Stranding reminds me of my favorite quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, that "The earth teaches us more about ourselves than all the books in the world. Because it resists us."

    Death Stranding is video game poetry. As such, it is not for everyone. The first few hours are too heavy on the cut-scenes, although I found the story and execution fantastic. After that, you will find an expansive, meditative game, with landscape as obstacle, puzzle, and challenge. Also worth noting, the conceptual design, from the vastness of the territory, to the architecture, to the smallest objects and gadgets, is extraordinary.
    This is a game that may have been wrongfully marketed for the mainstream audience, and it won't appeal to much of it. Hey, some people even find Red Dead Redemption 2 boring, so go figure. But make no mistake, this is a monument of a game. It is bold, over-the-top brilliant and beautiful.    … Expand

    Unlike many of these user reviews, I've actually bought, finished and platinum'ed Death Stranding. The fact that several thousand "users" showed up with their 0's and 10's on the same day the game released is a sign Metacritic needs to move over to a verified system. Here's my no spoiler review.

    Graphics (9): One of the best looking games I've seen (rivals RDR2). I played on a Pro and    Unlike many of these user reviews, I've actually bought, finished and platinum'ed Death Stranding. The fact that several thousand "users" showed up with their 0's and 10's on the same day the game released is a sign Metacritic needs to move over to a verified system. Here's my no spoiler review.

    Graphics (9): One of the best looking games I've seen (rivals RDR2). I played on a Pro and experienced no frame rate issues (locked at 30). There is some pop in but it's very minimal considering the draw distances. Once or twice textures didn't load in right away. I didn't try HDR.

    Controls (8): The game has fantastic controls through the menus and traversal. The button mapping is intuitive. It controls similar to RDR2 with a weighty feel but with more contextual traversal animations that can't be canceled (i.e. stumbling). The combat controls are a little too sluggish.

    Sound/Music (10): Some of the best music I've heard in a game. Most songs are original scores. The songs are often dropped in at perfect moments to elevate the moment. The overall sound and sound effects are very well done and thorough.

    Story (9): When the game sticks to the more grounded material it is truly a work of art, but some of the more metaphysical elements are needlessly obtuse and long. But the build up and pacing is masterfully done. There are several significant plot twists. The cinematics are some of the best I've seen in a game. The main characters are very well written and voice acted with the one exception of the main villain, who is poorly developed and lacks believable motivations. A few side characters had cringe voice performances but most were good.

    Gameplay (9): This generally consists of embarking on numerous mini journeys (America's east to west coast). These journeys consist of: gather info>preparation>navigation>traversal>destination. This is a much more methodical and slower gameplay loop with only occasional action sequences. The challenge derives from proper planning and traversing treacherous terrain. The reward (fun factor) is much more psychological, where the stimulation of a "journey loop" will register with some personalities and not with others.    … Expand

A jogabilidade é muito fluida, e responde muito bem aos comandos, com a ressalva de quando se utiliza automóveis, que parecem não desenvolverem muito bem nos terrenos mais acidentados, reagindo de uma forma um quanto estranha e até mesmo irritante, principalmente, quando se trata da moto, que muitas vezes em um insignificante desnível sofre muito para superar o “inimigo” do terreno acidentado. Já que estamos falando se terreno acidentado, se abre o gancho para falar dos cenários do jogo, simplesmente deslumbrantes e com um nível de cuidado diferenciado, a combinação dos cenários com o gráfico maravilhoso que já tinha sido visto no jogo Horizon Zero Dawn, irmãos de engine (motor gráfico) só que dessa vez ainda melhor, construíram cenários além de lindos, muito diversificados, passando de terrenos planos, para rochedos, florestas, ruínas, todos com um tom dark e pós-apocalíptico que o jogo se prepõe, e cenários que ainda conseguem ficar melhores se por ventura uma EP te pegar, tudo na volta fica totalmente diferente, parecendo até um lugar bem longe, mas tudo volta ao normal fugindo ao horizonte ou derrotando a entidade, e todos esses lugares ficam sensacionais com a adição das músicas colocadas nos momentos certos e que combinam muito bem com o tom tranquilo e lento. Lento como é o desenvolvimento do jogo, no começo é até mesmo um pouco entediante, já que o jogador tem de fazer longas caminhadas a pé, e sem muito equipamentos que impulsionem e deixem as coisas mais rápidas, porém, não muito mais tarde são introduzidos caminhonetes, motos e exoesqueletos que deixa menos complicado, porém a lentidão narrativa se estende por todo o jogo, e só acelera da metade para o fim, o que para mim não foi um incomodo, pois apesar de lenta, a trama é de excelente qualidade, e complexa com muitos plot-twists mas que em momento nenhum fica forçado ou sem sentido, mas algo que realmente me deixou surpreso foi a falta de mistério sobre o que era o jogo realmente, isso nunca passou do marketing do jogo, na verdade é tudo mastigadinho até demais, parece que o Kojima duvidava que todos iriam entender a complexidade, mas isso se torna um detalhe, que incomoda, mas não tanto.
    É um jogo excepcional com problemas que para mim foram mínimos, é claro que isso varia de quem está jogando, já que essa lentidão pode se tornar insuportável para alguns, eu recomendo, mas com essas ressalvas.    … Expand

Just when you're walking alone through a mountain or one of the countless landscapes that never, but really never, seemingly boring, it grips you. the feeling of loneliness and being the first to be at this place and then making use of it feels really great. You can also ease your way back and build a wire rope or a road. all that feels like rebuilding and building something and that's exactly what the game wants to convey to you. however, i have to admit that the game wouldn't be so appealing graphically and the story wouldn't be so interesting and gripping, it would also be too boring for me. but which game isn't. the whole package convinces but very much. In the beginning I was very careful when I entered an area of outlaws called mules, or when I met GD's that are invisible. Or when I had to kill a big boss, but in time they are very easy to defeat. Sometimes I even have to say too easy. but this is not a fight game, but still always exciting !
    the game is for the gamers who want to achieve something in peace and deliberately and want to experience a great story that is extraordinary. this is not a game you can play 10 minutes like COD. You always stay at least 1-2 hours until you have achieved what you wanted.
    The control is perfect I wouldn't want to change anything !
    Finally, I didn't really want to write that much :D, who doesn't care about the design and the story to begin with shouldn't buy it ! everyone else says I buy it you won't regret it !    … Expand

The world built by Kojima is among the most interesting and astonishing ever seen thanks to its unique lore and a stunning art direction coadiuvated by the best graphics ever seen in a console game. All of this gets even more immersive thanks to an emotional and transcendent soundtrack.
    The narrative is captivating and the plot is very complex but most of the cryptic elements are explained by the end of the story. Some of the characters are just unforgettable and the acting quality is overall amazing.
    Gameplay could result boring and monotonous if you are the kind of player who is looking for a traditional gaming experience filled with action and dynamism. It has this indie-like attitude that is very far from triple A games standard. The main mechanic is walking, so most of the engagement is given by losing yourself in the incredible atmosphere of the surroundings you got to explore and feeling that sense of travelling which Kojima has managed to recreate almost perfectly.
    It's actually true that the game loop is extremely repetitive, all the quests are going from A to B but the amazing thing is that even if I was aware of this, I never felt like I was wasting time because I was so completely absorbed. Furthermore, there's the asynchronous multiplayer and the like system which I found to be a great idea because having the chance of helping other players and be thanked for it is very rewarding. There is also some action but combat and shooting system feels a bit too simplified and not that fun, in fact during my playthrough I always preferred to avoid fights while I enjoyed stealth phases. The worst thing is the boss fight design, which is the only issue I can't forgive. Most of them are banal and too similar one to each other and even the most important ones are just disappointing. They totally lack of the cleverness that MGS boss fights had and it looks like Kojima just got lazy. Death Stranding is like a poetry or a painting but in the shape of a videogame, not everyone will appreciate it or even understand it, but it's undeniable that this is the kind of work which videogames as a medium need to be considered more than just digital entertainment. It's the kind of game that raise videogames from mere diversion to art.    … Expand

    Los mejores gráficos que puede ofrecer la generación actual, al nivel de títulos como God of War o Uncharted 4 y sin duda uno de los puntos más fuertes del videojuego, los paisajes son bellísimos y los modelados de los personajes son soberbios, muy realistas y bien animados y las locuras de Hideo Kojima nunca se plasmaron mejor en un videojuego.

    Sonido: 10
    +Como todo juego importante de Sony, tiene la opción de cambiar el idioma del audio del juego, puedes oir las voces en inglés, español latino, castellano, portugués y francés, aunque en lo personal prefiero las voces originales en inglés.
    +La música es soberbia, tanto las melodías instrumentales como las canciones que aparecen en el juego y ayudan mucho a acentuar esa sensación de soledad, de que queda mucho camino por recorrer.
    -El videojuego no te permite reproducir estas canciones a voluntad durante el juego y además te bloquea Spotify.

    Jugabilidad 7:
    Básicamente el juego se trata de que eres un repartidor cuyo deber consiste en unificar a lo que queda de Estados Unidos conectándolos a través de una red denominada "red quiral", además de que debes cumplir con entregas que son necesarias para la sobreviviencia de la población pues ahora la gente vive aislada en bunkers. Muchos pedidos consisten en entregas víveres, sangre, medicinas, arte, datos, etc.

    + Originalidad, jugar a DS es una experiencia nueva, tiene una gran cantidad de elementos novedosos y aunque al principio puede llegar a ser un poco enredoso por tener que aprender tantas mecánicas nuevas te acostumbras mientras vas realizando las entregas, además de que el juego en sí no es muy difícil. Otra posibilidad muy importante es la de cooperar con otros jugadores en línea compartiendo equipo, suministros y la posibilidad de construir estructuras como puentes y refugios.

    + El juego ofrece mucha libertad para llevar a cabo las misiones. Puedes crear tu propio equipo, armas, herramientas e incluso vehículos, así como decidir tu estrategia para cumplir con las entregas, la ruta que seguirás y el orden en el que realizarás las entregas.

    - Puede llegar a ser un poco repetitivo en algunas porciones. El juego tiene 14 capítulos y hay algunos que parece que no tienen fin como el capítulo #3 y otros son verdaderamente cortos como el #4.

    - Tiene detalles sin pulir. Las escenas de combate las debieron hacer más variadas, porque si son muy similares entre sí, sobre todo los combates contra los jefes se llevan a cabo de la misma manera todos sin agregar elementos que pudieran hacerlos distintos. Otro detalle que no me gustó es que con apretar L2+R2 resuelves todos los problemas que puedas tener con equilibrar al personaje y la carga. Otro detalle, aunque menor es que a veces me morí en el juego por detalles muy molestos como un enfrentamiento con un jefe en el cual me quedé atorado entre un camión y una pared y en algunas ocasiones los controles no respondieron a la velocidad que yo lo deseaba, sobre todo al utilizar las opciones de la cruceta.

    Historia: 10
    La mejor parte del juego, sin duda. DS posee una historia realmente original y es un logro no sólo como videojuego, sino como una obra de ciencia ficción. He leído clásicos del género como Yo Robot, Dune, Starship Troopers, 1984, Un mundo feliz, etc y Death Stranding está al nivel de esas obras y es algo muy meritorio por parte de Hideo Kojima, el materializar una obra de ciencia ficción tan original, con personajes tan entrañables, además de crear un mundo y por si fuera poco la historia es muy vasta, compleja, con mucho "lore" para enriquecerlo por medio de los datos de entrevistas y correos que vas desbloqueando al cumplir con la tarea de unificar a America y si además al título le agregamos esa capacidad de sorprender al jugador con las "fumadas" al estilo Hideo Kojima que en DS encuentras al por mayor, pues la experiencia de jugarlo vale muchísimo la pena.

    Conclusión:
    Death Stranding es mucho más que un simple videojuego, es una gran historia de ciencia ficción pero vale la pena experimentar si te gusta el género, ya sea en películas o en libros. Sin embargo tanta originalidad lo aleja de los canones actuales de los videojuegos hace que no sea para todos y el videojuego te gustará sí:

    + Te gusta el género de ciencia ficción
    + Eres fan de los trabajos de Hideo Kojima
    + No esperas un juego muy tradicional con acción al por mayor como con Uncharted o God of War.
    + Disposición para ser paciente un poco con el juego, aprender nuevas mecánicas de juego que se salen de lo tradicional y aceptar que algunas partes del mismo son un poco pesadas pero que hay que continuar porque el juego vale muchísimo la pena, sobre todo al final de la historia donde se revelan muchos secretos, y somos testigos de las mejores actuaciones que hayamos visto en la historia de los videojuegos.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't see how anyone can give this game a 0-6 or a 10, whether you like it or not, games are a work of art these days and it truly is one. That said, a game is a game for most of us, and I can see why people dont like the gameplay as it can be tedious and repetitive trekking with a load of packages and delivering them. I did enjoy finding routes to traverse the terrain and enjoyed gathering materials to build roads, it was tedious yet addictive.
    I found the story a tad confusing but intriguing and there were some marvelous performances from start to finish. Overall I loved the experience, and that's why I have given it a 9, but as a game I cant give it a 10, I wont spoil the ending but it was very drawn out and long, be prepared for that, but yes all in all well done Kojima, I have never experienced any game like it!    … Expand

    It has some of the best graphics of this generation if not the best, from the characters to the environment all is just overwhelming. To that add some really strange story with amazing cinematography and a game that really wants to bring the players together. The game is just amazing.
    BUT. oh yeah... there is a but. It can be really frustrating when you start to play, the amount of information in the UI is overwhelming. You'll may have a bad time trying to understand the game's mechanics and you will fall... a lot. But if you give it a chance things will get better, not only because you will improve and master the pizza's delivery boy mechanics but because there'll be people out there helping you on your journey across this strange story.    … Expand

The exploration and traveling in this game is on a level of its own, I’d like to compare it to Zelda botw in that regard. Visuals, graphics, mechanics are top of the line. For anyone feeling impatient with this game, just relax and enjoy it, the game won’t hold your hand so try to think “how would I climb down this mountain in real life, or how would I cross this rapid river” before you know it you will find yourself truly enjoying this satisfying challenge and find it quite therapeutic. As for the story I’m not far enough yet but it seems very solid and has my interest to know more. Definitely worth trying out… Expand

    Is not a boring game, but it's slow. it's a game that you have to play in a certain way. It's not the kind of game you put when you come back from work and you have an hour to play. You have to empathize with the characters and the world to get the full experience. If you play it as it has ment to be, you'll expend a lot of hours helping people, taking their lost cargo and using other people structures.Or just seeing the landscapes and exploring. Seriously, its easy to invest more time that you think far of the narrative, but as I said, if you can't do it, probably this game is not for you.

    That's when the connection concepts gets stronger. The community is always trying to help each other to build structures, or leaving their tools to help each other, without expecting nothing in return. The community is a healthy, collaborative one.

    It has some action segments that are "ok", nothing new but far from terrible, a little bit generic, perhaps. But this game is stronger in the little moments and events, when you for example suffer MULEs attack when you are full of cargo. It's not for the combat: is for the tension, your are afraid of loosing your things because it was very difficult to obtain, and loosing it is not an option. Or the first encounters with the VTs, your strategy vs the timefall...

    I love this game, seriously. It's not perfect, it's not for everyone, but if you have a little bit of criterion in videogames I think you can appreciate the great things about this game.

    As a resume...

    Pros:
    -A risky, revolutionary gameplay proposal that feels very original and makes a other-videogame repetitive task a very entertaining one
    -The story is amazing and the characters, lore and universe are very unique.
    -As the game advance, you always have new options, tools and discover new things.
    -The "music" moments are just amazing. Lots of "pretty little moments" to remember while playing.
    -The online features add a lot of depth into the game. The community is amazing.

    Cons:

    -The first 1-2 hours (+/-) are a little bit strange, your connection with the world it's cold and you don't have information about nothing in the first segment.
    -If you don't like the slow gameplay, perhaps this game don't have too much action segments for you.
    -A little bit more of variety in the missions cargo conditions would be cool
    -Play without connection kills the experience.    … Expand

    Such a fresh, unique gaming experience. It is a slow burner which requires patience and the story requires an open mind. I can understand that simpletons and kids will not enjoy this because it is too slow for them, not enough action for them, they don’t understand what the game is about. I only recommend it to open-minded, conscious people who don’t have ADHD. Masterpiece.

    The gameplay is different and interesting, but it feels like some aspects are unfinished (vehicle handling is almost comical).

If you stick with it, and pay attention, you can quickly find yourself gripped into the story/world. Very creative on the setting and execution of story elements.

    The gameplay is definitely different from anything I've seen. Its a large part thought out inventory management, route planning, elements of stealth, and very light action. It really is its own genre of sorts. Very satisfying once you understand what's going on (for me at least).

    This game definitely isn't for everyone, which is why I didn't give it a 10. Its somewhat inaccessible to the impatient gamer. If you like well crafted, cinematic storytelling with smart inventory management, and slow, methodical movement, absolutely pick this up.    … Expand

I'll start with gameplay first. I haven't had a experience this gratifying since Dark Souls. The struggle encountered through walking miles and miles with baggage in tow does feel truly gratifying. Having to manage weight and balance started with frustration, then quickly moved on to a sheer perseverance, in the face of an absolute want to get those likes, and to help. The gameplay loop has not gotten repetitive for me yet, because for the most part i feel as though it is a relaxing experience. I began to get lost in the myriad packages I was delivering. Eventually, the experience of carrying packages back and forth got a bit easier with the help of acquired vehicles and exosuit upgrades. On the topic of vehicles. The only issue I had is with the clunkiness of the motorcycle .The world design is beautiful. It is barren, lifeless and extremely atmospheric. The world as well, began to shift, as more people started adding generators, bridges and highways to the game. The feeling of helping out any of the player is gratifying in it's own right, coupled with the likes you receive, and the assistance of other players, creates a positive experience. The soundtrack is absolutely wonderful, it has a good variety of music that has many emotional ranges, from sad and bitter, to happy and uplifting. The sound design has been done extremely well. The tense feeling of creeping through B.T territory is made all the more tense with it's creepy ambient noise and slight shrieks. The same goes for being in MULE territory, which has a combo of intense score and sharp alarms to keep you on your toes. Until you fight either one of the B.T's or MULES. They are incredibly easy to fight, and easier to run away from. As for the story. I have not completed it yet, but from where I sit in the story now, I can say they've done it very well. It's an incredibly cinematic experience, with top notch acting, which creates an emotional atmosphere. Overall I think the game is definitely worth a play through. It's a unique experience that has a lot to offer. The game isn't always "fun" in the regard that most people would use, but it is an intensely rewarding experience in so many ways.… Expand

    Me es imposible divertirme con un videojuego tan repetitivo como este. Si bien los gráficos son una maravilla y la banda sonora va con el ambiente del juego, son las mecánicas lo que entierra este titulo. Me he visto en la obligación de desperdiciar 5 horas de mi vida para poder hablar de este juego, y solo digo 5 porque lo he abandonado.

Personally I liked the game slow paced mechanics and pacing. It makes you much more attached to each characters story-line and lore of this world.

I do not find this game boring even though I was afraid it might. The story is great and just as crazy as you would expect from a Kojima story. Once I understood the story I understood why Porters are put on a pedestal in this world. I actually found traversal very enjoyable and I am surprised a game could actually do that for me. The graphics are absolutely stunning and the world is very captivating. I can see how some may not find this game enjoyable if you like action heavy games or games with little story and hate cutscenes. Cutscenes can be long but I have enjoyed every minute of them. My only criticism so far is that the Interface can be a bit clunky and overwhelming but once you get used to it it’s not so bad. If you like kojima games or looking for a unique game to play with a great story this is for you . If you only play games like Apex or COD you will probably hate this.… Expand

    Death Stranding is a unique game, it’s not for everyone because it’s a navigation game, not an exploration game. Kojima didn’t let go MGS because of the stealth sections and the supernatural enemies, his critic on how society is breaking apart and needs to be reconnected might no get everyone but it’s there.

I can't guarantee that you will like it (or maybe hate it) but like I, said this game has the most original story, mechanichs, world and gameplay in the last five years. And I think everybody must appreciate Kojima and Kojima Productions because making this game is a really big risk. It's not a indie game it's a AAA game. And this generation the studios and companies like Activision, EA and Ubisoft this is revalutionary and different. Because of that If you like it or if you don't like it, it doesn't matter everybody must support it.

    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.
