    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

    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

Even though the game is hilarioustly easy, even on hard difficulty. And that's why this game doesn't earn the last digit on my part.

    First off the game started off, gripping me with it's intriguing story, game mechanics, graphics and envirornment. As I progressed through the game I found the game being easier and easier. But it didn't really bother me because creating structures, bridges and roads and so forth is incredibely rewarding, atleast for me. Knowing that people are going to use it at some point. Depending on where you places it and so forth. And yes, I found it very gratifying to have the game message me about someone using my structure. The combat mechanics are dull and very straight forward, but again. Just raiding a bad guy encampment and steal their trucks was something I never grew tired off. But also making it easier for yourself making those sweet, sweet premium deliveries.

    As far as the story is concerned. It is a Hideo Kojima game. So being a huge MGS fan I dove into the story expecting it too be confusing and very complex. And it is. But I found every majoy plot thread to come to a satisfying conclussion nearing the end. Some of the characters I thought could be a little more developed and explored. But other than that I was satisfied.

    Also my hat off to Kojima for trying something different. Because Death Stranding is very very different than anything else I've played ever. And for me, this game different route works. I really enjoyed exploring this world and everything it had to offer. The take on death, multiverse theories, and history as we know it, I found very interesting, and only something that could come out of the mind of the man himself, Kojima. I could see how people didn't like this game, but I personally found it engaging and fun, despite the easy mechanics and conveluted story.

    But to sum it up, I would recommend this game to anyone eager to try something new, to try something you might find boring at first, as I did. Give it some hours and I can almost guarantee that you'll find this game entertaining in some way. I'm really looking forward to see what the passionate mind of Kojima comes up with next.    … Expand

    Death Stranding attempts an extremely risky gameplay loop in order to convey its' poignant message. It uses a complex physics system to make traversal fun and engaging.

The reason why traversal is so interesting in this game is because a delivery is rarely just a matter of walking from point ADeath Stranding attempts an extremely risky gameplay loop in order to convey its' poignant message. It uses a complex physics system to make traversal fun and engaging. Momentum, center of balance, and weight all affect how your character interacts with the world. The reason why traversal is so interesting in this game is because a delivery is rarely just a matter of walking from point A to point B; instead, you will be forced to balance and navigate a large myriad of systems and obstacles in order to complete your missions. Small rocks can trip you, rivers can sweep you away, and ledges can prove fatal. Keeping Sam upright as you traverse this deadly world is engaging exactly because of these obstacles and the difficulty involved with navigating them successfully. In addition to this core gameplay, you will be able to construct structures, ladders, and ropes which adds an extra layer of fun to the game. The building mechanic allows you to creatively solve challenges like ascending a large mountain or crossing a deep, rapid river. Each mission is more or less the same; however, each mission presents different challenges that you must over come with the tools available to you. You could descend a mountain by creating a series of ziplines with other players, you could simply use a system of ropes and ladders, or you could let a stream sweep you all the way down which is fast but dangerous. On top of the core mechanics related to traversal, you will also have to use stealth and combat to overcome an interesting variety of enemies including MULES(humans) and BTs(ghosts). Both of these enemy types will offer you the chance to test out a large variety of tools, guns, and gadgets. In addition to all of this, there are 8 unique boss fights that will blow you away with their presentation, design, and the original gameplay associated with some of them. On top of the core game, there is a fascinating world and story that will keep you interested from beginning to end despite some clunky dialogue and exposition. Ultimately, Death Stranding is clearly not a game for everyone but don't let critics convince you that it isn't supposed to be fun. For half of those who play the game, it will be addicting and immersive; for the other half, it will be tedious and bewildering. You should rent the game to see which one of those camps you fall into. Regardless, Death Stranding serves as proof of why Sony has won this console generation. They will put in the time and money to let creators create the games that they would like to play, even if those games might not always be financially successful. Like a great movie studio, they use their resources and platform to let artist flourish with almost complete freedom and the result is an astonishing collection of unique exclusives. Uncharted 4, God of War, Last Guardian, Bloodborne, SpiderMan, and Death Stranding are all examples of exciting, emotional, and wholly distinctive pieces of their creators that only exist because SONY understands that curating true art is the best pathway to establishing a successful console.… Expand

Yes, the game its about walking and delivering packages, but its not as simple as just going from A to B; Kojima and his team manages to make the world alive, the primary enemy, but at the same time, our companion.
    Little by little, the game evolves, change; giving you tools to make traversing easier but putting new obstacles in your way; never remaining the same. It is a master class on game design, and the best showcase of Kojima's abilities in this regard. Probably most people will not like this kind fo freedom, its requires time, thinking, and that is something that modern society lacks.
    But it is a rewarding system thanks to the message that the director wants to convey: we are nothing if we are alone.
    This is where the "Social Strand System" comes into play. The world is "empty" and the terrain will be a formidable foe without the necessary tools, putting a ladder in our world will make it appear in other player gameplay, and maybe that ladder will be of use to him/her. Creating and constructing things, not for the sake of ourselves, but to help other players that could make use of these things.
    It takes on the modern social network practices, and transform the negative part of it into a postive view, a world where we help others, forgetting about vanity and self indulgence; where there is no gaining in helping someone, but a like from that person.
    Hideo Kojima is an amazing director, mixing whats best from all forms of art; this work its a showcase of amazing cinematic story telling, impressive and detailed gameplay, overwhelming art direction and beautiful soundtrack.
    This is the vision, not only of a man, but all his team; a vision where we can be better persons, to destroy the walls that surrounds us, to be free, and embrace that freedom.

    Despite the lackluster story I give this game a 9 for its innovative social mechanics, addictive gameplay, gorgeous visuals and excellent polish.

    The game play is the controversial part and while I understand the critics I think it's important go keep an open mind, so I jumped in the game blind and I enjoy it very much, walking is something we usually take for granted, in this game, not anymore. Pushing forward must be a conscious decision, and obstacle as dumb as a rock must be taken in account, it's refreshing to see some changes in the way I must think.

    The online aspect is another part where the game shine, for me, you never feel alone, it really remind you that you are not alone in this, that you share this adventure with others and that is wholesome, if that make sense.

    One thing I didn't like, is how long the game take to take off, the game only open up margely at chapter 3, so if you get the game just do the main quests until chapter 3 or even 5 to unlock the ziplines. I am not sure how to fix this problem though, because the game litterally have to teach you how to walk again.

You cant give a zero just because you personally hate Kojima, or have only watched a few youtube videos of just someone walking up a hill and think all the game is like that. Admittedly the starting 2 chapters are a slow burn but it then opens up in to so much more, trikes, trucks, zip wires, highways. Its even fun setting up networks to get around quicker. Using other players built items and sharing is such a simple but great feature.

    It fu cks me off when people constantly say its a walking sim, or Fedex simulator. Those people are just ignorant and lack the intelligence to be funny. I think you need to be late teens and older to understand/appreciate this game. It is not for people with short attention spans. The story starts with you thinking, wtf is going on. but as the game progresses, and you read emails/interviews and see the cutscenes, you begin to grasp whats going on in the world. The last few chapters of the game make everything clear and to be honest has the best ending of any game I've ever experienced. It really was sad when it was all over. However, I am still playing post game, and now +100 hours in, as I platinum games, and still enjoying the mechanics of the game to get the last trophies.

    And this is the big hurdle I think for a lot of people, you have to stick with the game to get the most out of it. Get past those first 5 / 10 hours and you will see, you cannot not get this based on what others say, you have to experience this game for yourself.

    Game of the decade material. Everything about this game is a 10 excluding driving and gun mechanics. The story will have you in tears at the end. A ending that will definitely stick with me forever.

    Driving seemed to be an afterthought when having to get over rough terrain. Shooting and aiming is ok, but small details are important, and it lacks that. No bullet holes from guns etc.

Death stranding is a game of patience, hard work and dedication that really won't resonatewith alot of gamers. But, through it all the star studded cast, polished graphics and unique story are something to be impressed by even if you don't enjoy the gameplay. Beating this game was really fulfilling. I'm not saying you need to like it, and it's perfectly fine with me if you don't. But that doesn't mean it's a 0/10. The reviews on here are excessive. If you don't think it looks fun just don't buy it.… Expand

    Such a brilliant game, and a lot to unpack overtime. It won’t come together story wise until the latter half of the title but it’s worth it. The gameplay evolves as you progress and the variations in gameplay from combat to traversal are fantastic. Recommend playing on hard. Would probably give it a ten, but there are quite a few janky animations that cost me perfect deliveries. FantasticSuch a brilliant game, and a lot to unpack overtime.

    Huge Warning for those looking to buy this game. Its not an action-game what so ever. Its very slow and not fast based what so ever. The type of people who will enjoy this game are people who enjoy titles like "Grow Up" and the more slow paced parts of the "The Last of Us" series.

It makes me very sad to see that many of the negative reviews of this game are due to people expecting a game with more akin to a "Elder Scroll" game or "Mass Effect". Or expecting a "Metal Gear" game just cause of the past games the director has worked on. People can make other things you know.

    If you are a of fan of indulging yourself in a slow games where you can couch potato for long periods of times then you will enjoy this game. A lot of the game is walking/driving around obstacles and trying to path out the best routes to get to your destination. Each area having different obstacles like rouge humans, the Bt's and the surrounding terrain itself. Rushing delivery's risks damaging the goods you are holding onto making the simplest of tasks stressful and rewarding. You also do get character upgrades as you go, usually through side quests and trying to please specific customers. something as simple as having increased balance and weight capacity is super exciting. By the end of the game you are a human semi-truck.

    Story wise I dont want to spoil anything, but it grabs your attention by giving you really interesting and unique creatures designs, technology that does oddly specific things and a baby in a magic 8 ball. If you watched the trailers for this game and want to know what the hell is anything it shows in a curious light then you will like that part of the game. There are a lot of cut scenes BTW so if your a fan of those then you are in for a good time. And if you are there for just the gameplay, dont worry 90% of cut-scenes can be skipped. Even the big ones.

    To put it blunt, its a delivery game. Dont expect epic battle confrontations. If you enjoy an atmospheric world with a mystery of past events done with a slow-burn Chances are that you are gonna enjoy yourself.    … Expand

    This game requires patience, and it's not your typical AAA Game these days. However, the story is incredible. The systems are fun and engaging, provided you take the time to acknowledge and play to them. This game isn't high intensity. It's made to be played relaxed, your meant to ruminate as you move. I can understand it's not for everyone, but I loved it.

However, if you do as the game encourages, and spend time planning routs, choosing the judging what tools are worth hulling, and pick the right means or travel (bike, truck, or feet), then the you may have a lot of fun. I say “may” because this game is slow!

    A secondary and almost completely over looked game play mechanic is helping other players. I think this might be the part of the game I like the most. You can deliver cargo the found but where unable to deliver themselves, you can build bridges and roads to help the get around, and after you have built something or even just helped them finish building something, then you get to see when other people use your buildings.

    Menu Screen Hell – One thing this game really messed up is the menu screens. I will not get into explaining why they suck as a lot of people have already done that much better than I can.

    Story:

    It is not easy to separate story from game play in Death Stranding because so much of the game play tells the story. Your character, Sam, is a loner who is establishing connection between other people and then eventually becomes connected to these people as you (the player) become connected to other players.
    Sam follow in the foot steps of other characters helping finish the work they started while you the player do the same thing with other players.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Keep on keeping on! I really enjoyed my time playing the game. The story was very deep and engaging within an extravagant dystopia post apocalyptic setting. Imagine watching a movie and wondering what happens between scenes for the characters, this game “bridges” those moments with a nice dose of reality. Is there a lot of walking around, yeah there is until you are capable of building your own vehicles and then using zip lines. I dont see replay value other than to look for easter eggs but you don’t have to start a new game for that. I believe i missed out on some missions because I didn’t keep up with my mail until later. I would replay just for those as it seems like they have to be completed at specific times and not at the endgame open play.

    I will admit this may take a particular gaming palate for someone to fully appreciate this work of art. Because that is what Kojima has created here.    … Expand

    A highly misunderstood game, and one that's been unfairly attacked for doing something different.

Death Stranding is one that breaks the mold in a good way, and is almost therapeutic by design.A highly misunderstood game, and one that's been unfairly attacked for doing something different. In a world of Free-to-play games, overly competitive shooters, esports, predatory business models, redundant franchises, monetization schemes, corrupt companies that ruin notable franchises... Death Stranding is one that breaks the mold in a good way, and is almost therapeutic by design. Anyone calling it a walking simulator, was unable to dive deeper, and for arguments sake it's not a walking simulator. Just because the focus is to walk, or climb, doesn't mean that's all there is too it, and it's a gross misclassification of a noble venture by it's Creator Hideo Kojima. Anyone who gave it a 0, didn't seriously play it, anyone calling it perfect, the game has it's flaws. I am thankful a game like this exists, and truly think it transcends the genre of video games, and will stand the test of time, as well as attacks on it's existence, and creators. Review: Death Stranding is truly a work of great care, the world is fantastic, and the struggle comes from simple things, like crossing a landscape, or taking on additional challenges on missions. It tells a fully unique story, about life, death, our political landscape, and what happens if we don't take care of the world around us. Boss battles are tense, the shooting mechanics are fun, and somewhat unique in their own way. Killing is not the objective here, but connecting, and being better than just an average killer. Killing can carry consequences in this world, and the world by design is treacherous. Nobody wants to venture out into the world, so it stands that the hero of this story is someone who is brave enough to battle the elements, as well as the undead, to ensure people have what they need to survive this post-apocalyptic dystopia. It's a beautiful concept, and is very under-appreciated by the current generation of gamers who seem to settle for cheap, quick thrills. Death Stranding does demand your attention, that you take your time with it, and learn about the world, it's origins, as well as your (Sam's) role in saving that world. There are flaws in the game, and without saying anymore about the game, here is a list of what I found to be the draws, and setbacks of Death Stranding. My NO SPOILERS Pros and Cons list:
    Pros:
    Graphics are something to behold, my mouth was open the whole time, it is stunning

    Acting -Top actors like Norman Reedus, and Lea Seydoux portray their respective characters, they do so well, and you really get drawn in by their performances

    Gameplay - Well thought out, you use the entire controller, this was carefully mapped out. The game is actually addicting. Anyone claiming it's just fetch quests think games are only one pattern, that you only fight, or shoot, and this is all they know. Games can be anything, Death Stranding reminds us of that - look up Paperboy for the original Nintendo if you don't know what I mean...

    Music - Original Soundtrack, as well as included artists, fit the world perfectly, the music is it's own awesome experience
    Sound Design - is absolutely delightful, the ruffling of clothing, sounds of vehicles, or machines, it's all crafted brilliantly to fit the game

    Cons:
    Redundant little scenes every mission (Pro: You can skip these if they grow tiresome)

    Pacing - this was my main problem with the game, while I enjoyed the story overall, I do feel like the pacing could've been handled a bit better. I think if you don't get sidetracked it's alright, but getting sidetracked is part of the fun as well. There's a balancing act with the pacing

    Lots and lots of reading - I like reading, and don't mind it in games, but some of the reading could've been better handled like audio records (Similar to MGSV), and this is where the pacing could've been handled better. Some of the reading you do fills in gaps in the story, it would've been better served spoken like in a podcast. Still plenty of story, but this is a downside for me personally. Small story bits that fell flat, or felt cringey/forced. They don't affect the overall story but I definitely didn't feel anything from specific performances.

    Sponsors/Commercialism - There is some commercialism in the game from brands, it's such a minute detail in the grand scheme, but worth mentioning. I believe if it had to be in there, it was done appropriately and probably helped fund the game. Verdict: 8.7
    Similar to a movie like Blade Runner, it stands alone, and does something unique. There is so much re-playability, content, unique addictive gameplay, a positive message, and a truly mind boggling story which takes it's time to really be understood. I hope more people play this game, and prove to game developers, we don't want the same 3 games over and over, we crave new experiences, and shouldn't be so spiteful when we get them. There are enough Marvel Movies out there, but not enough Blade Runners.

Alors nous pouvons nous poser la question, qu’attendons nous d’un jeu, une grosse majorité répondrons qu’être divertit est l’élément essentiel, et pour que les joueurs ressentent cela, très souvent les développeurs créent des jeux qui s’adaptent aux joueurs (si ils jouent bourrin ou avec minutie, aime t’ils un histoire lourde mais avec du sens ou plus courte et simple au risque qu’elle soit sans saveur etc etc etc... tout cela sera pris en compte, surtout pour des gros AAA tel que cod qui sans cesse modifie le contenue de son jeu pour plaire au joueur du moment « campagne, pas campagne, battle royal ou pas »). Mais parfois il y’a des créateurs de concept qui propose non pas un jeu adaptatif mais un jeu rude et ou le joueur doit apprendre par lui-même à savoir jouer et apprendre les limites qu’ils lui ont étés accordés. Souvent c’est des petites studios qui propose cela et par conséquent ces jeux ne dispose pas de la même couverture médiatique que les AAA...
    Et pour une foie, un nouveau concept avec un nouveau gameplay fait son apparition dans la cour des grands, alors les autres le montre du doigt, mais on sait bien qu’il y’a un part de jalousie pour un jeu qui a fait se que d’autres n’auraient même pas osé faire...
    C’est le cas de Death Stranding...
    Si les joueurs qui auront la chance de posséder un des exemplaires de se jeu y joue en s’adaptant à lui et en se mettant dans la peau du personnage en comprennent ces limites, ces souffrance, ce qui est judicieux d’expérimenter ou non. Il est logique se dire je porte 100kilos sur mon dos puis-je courir ? NON. Ma moto peux-t-elle parcourir tout les paysages même les plus escarpés ? NON...

    As a disclaimer, before Death Stranding, I've only ever played and finished one Kojima game; and that was MGS: Sons of Liberty. Ergo, I came into this game quite fresh and with minimal bias.

Ergo, I came into this game quite fresh and with minimal bias. To be honest, I was leaning towards not purchasing this game based on the gameplay I've seen from the trailers. But I bit the bullet anyway and made the purchase knowing that one of my favorite film directors (Guillermo Del Toro) was involved in the game and that I had a few days for vacation ahead of me.

    I booted up the game and with little expectations, played the game that would eventually change my appreciation the art of game design for the better.

    To save time, I will write this review debunking or agreeing with criticisms most commonly mentioned about the game:

    1. Cutscene-o-rama
    Understandably, people who would rather play a game than watch a game would hate any game with any cutscene longer than 30 seconds. However, nearly all the best games of the recent years HAVE considerably long cutscenes. At least with Death Stranding, you get to see the actors you know and love performing and helping to weave a complex story together. (And no, the story is not overly complex. If my 9 year old nephew could understand what's happening in the story and you don't, then what's lacking is definitely coming from your end.) 2. Boring Gameplay
    This is how I can tell if someone's either a one track gamer or has never actually played the game. If you're into only shooters, adventure games and have never played simulations, RTS and story-driven games, then I understand why you may not enjoy Death Stranding. Now, why the hell would you death stranding to follow the likes of your typical shooter if they never sold this game as your typical shooter? The entire game is a simulation and a love letter to this decade's type of games. You can really tell how Kojima has studied the games of this decade and managed to incorporate the best aspects of each with the vision he intended for his game. 3. Empty World Building Thats the point! The vast world coupled with the random events help immerse the player into a post-apocalyptic world. And before you say that you don't encounter any other couriers on the road, you in fact DO! You can even interact and follow them all the way to their objective as they deliver their shipments. 4. Enemies Aren't Challenging
    While I agree with this initially, you obviously haven't played enough of the game to face difficulty. The big boss battles may be easy at first but when you eventually are faced with 2 or 3 at the same time, the difficulty definitely spikes.

    Death Stranding is most definitely not a perfect game by any stretch. But the undeserved hate it's getting just goes to show you how entrenched some people are on their opinions despite all the evidence presented of how amazingly unique thia game is.    … Expand

Kojima had a message he wanted to put across in this game, from the scenery to the dialogue and the soundtrack. In short, Kojima had a message about what it means to be lonely and what it means to reconnect and be able to reconnect. Which are two different concepts. It’s a surreal and empowering feeling when the emotion you always associated with others is being estranged, but when you finally manage to get the will to reconnect, the people you always viewed as estranged are just as human as you, wanting to connect as well.

    The game is a fetch quest, but that is the purpose and point. This is what we do in waking life, forced to talk to people who are otherwise strangers but in that we find the strands that connect us. Everyone is a stranger to someone until we connect. And once we connect, we are no longer burdened by the chore of what they ask, we do it gladly, because we are now connected. And knowing that, they also respond in kind. Why would they not respond similarly? That metaphor is abundant in the game. Respect what your expect. The music being a haunting reminder of what the game is about. It’s about connecting. Leave your preconceived notions, fears and worries, reach out and connect! You will be happier once you do. Sam is your avatar, and your guide of your fears. Reach out to someone. You will be happy you did!    … Expand

Knowing how interesting Kojima makes his storylines, I personally enjoyed this one. Lots of questions were answered but brought up new questions. Either way, beautiful game, open world with many obstacles to overcome and the chance to rebuild America with the help with other players. You can help build bridges, roads, generators for your vehicles and even borrow other players vehicles! Once again, personally I loved the deep dive this story became. It was a long journey but the time I spent playing it was well worth it and even afterwards. Lots of time will be spent on this game!… Expand

    Is that what I expected from Kojima? Yes, is it the best game of Kojima? No, at least for me. But it is still a game that, over the years, will be seen with a better perspective and will be more appreciated.

    Through compelling story telling medium, Kojima delivered the idea that video games have the potential to be so much more than just entertaining. Dull game play mechanics, but amazing story line and visuals. If you beat the game, you will most likely change your negative reviews about this game. Slow build up and lack of interesting combat mechanics are the only downsides of this game.

While Death Stranding may not be a game for everyone due to it's different approach to gameplay and management systems, it shines in every aspect it tackles. Immersive and large landscapes are there for you to approach and explore the way you feel like it, while taking caution not to damage your packages and equipment. The game offers you a huge variety of tools, vehicles and equipment to help you traverse faster and safely. Each cargo has specific conditions that determine your score, meaning that sometimes you won't be able to walk on water with it or have the need to avoid impacts at all costs, making the experience challenging and providing a need of different planning for each journey. The online cooperative aspects of the game are genius and create a feeling of solidarity and accomplishment while you help others and yourself in this journey. The game also offers many scoring screens where you can check your delivery scores and level of connection with other players, the concept is simple, the more you help, the more you'll be helped. With ladders, ropes, bridges and other types of structures from other players showing up in your world if you decide to donate and help other players with your own items. The player is not forced to take on optional sidequests, though these may reward you with special items that will improve your travels.The story is simply fantastic and very cinematic, though it drags a bit during the middle chapters. The lore of the game keeps expanding and everything starts to make sense, while you grow deeply more immersed into the plot and it's unique characters. Death Stranding's gameplay is focussed on traversal, solidarity and inventory management. The player must be careful with the harsh world of Death Stranding, with it's rivers, cliffs, rain that damages your cargo and entities that show up while it rains. Now for the negatives points worth taking not of. Combat is present in the game but lacks polishing, though it provides an interesting challenge. Enemies will attempt to steal your cargo and stun you with equipment and vehicles. Boss battles are the weak aspect of the game, being repetitive and resource consuming, meaning that by the end of it you may not feel that you gained much from it and that it should've been avoided it altogether. The game's UI is very complex and crammed, taking a lot of time to get used to. Despite it's complexities, Death Stranding is a very simple concept that, once learnt, turn the game into a smooth experience. The game doesn't offer much variety in it's gameplay loop besides survival and cargo/inventory management, though these systems are very detailled and have lots of ramifications. Death Stranding is a very different experience from games nowaday, meaning that it'll be very divisive. If you want to try something unique, with an amazing story, immersive moments (some even scary), definitely check it out.… Expand

    Death stranding definitely takes the cake with being the kind of game that expects you to take your time and experience something unique. This is 100% where the mixed opinions would spiral from. But oh boy if this clicks for you and then your in for one of the most interesting worlds this generation has to offer. The direction and ambition from Kojima productions is second to none. This is one of those games that only come around every so often. And like games like shadow of the collosus and the last guardian it may have its flaws but this experience will stay in the back of my mind for a very long time. There is plenty of game to be played here with an interesting world. If your still sitting on the fence with this one I highly recommend watching Digital Foundry’s overview of Death stranding. Their game coverage holds up exceptionally as always!

Soy jugador habitual de videojuegos y mis juegos favoritos son el Last of Us y por encima de todos, la saga Metal Gear. Sin embargo, nunca me he considerado fan de Kojima, sino de su obra. Sinceramente, creo que los análisis aduladores y sin crítica no son positivos y generan mucho rechazo. Sobre todo, si tienes un 10/10 por decreto, por el hecho de apellidarte Kojima... Por culpa de estos análisis me llevé una de las decepciones más grandes en lo que a videojuegos se refiere. Para mí, el MGS V no merece ni llamarse Metal Gear y sin embargo para todos los críticos de videojuegos era un juego de 10...

    Con estos precedentes y en el contexto que nos encontramos mis expectativas con el Death Stranding eran nefastas... Veía los gameplays sin ningún tipo de ilusión ni de esperanza, incluso me plantee no comprarlo. Entonces salió a la venta y sucedió lo que me temía... prensa complaciente dando dieces a cascoporro, fans y believers dando dieces cuando habían pasado unas pocas horas desde que se había puesto a la venta y un ejército de haters poniendo ceros cuando era imposible que tan siquiera hubieran visto la intro... (repito que entiendo el rechazo).

    Total, decidí comprar el juego y tener mi propia opinión, al fin y al cabo, le debía algo al creador de la saga más significativa en mis 31 años de vida.

    Las primeras 12 - 14 horas me parecieron las de un juego bastante monótono, aunque tampoco puedo llegar a calificarlo de malo, pero comprendía perfectamente las críticas de 3/10 o 4/10... Sin embargo, pensé que ese juego tenía algo más que decirme, que no podía dejarlo...

    Más o menos terminando el 3er episodio sucedió... me vi completamente enganchado al juego, a su jugabilidad, personajes, mecánicas e historia. Lo terminé ayer y solo puedo decir que es un juego muy personal y que a mí me ha dejado tocado emocionalmente... consigue transmitir como ningún otro juego, película o libro lo ha conseguido hasta ahora. Hasta el punto de que ahora sí me considero fan de Kojima XD… sigo pensando que es un ególatra y que la prensa le hace un flaco favor a él y a la industria, pero después de terminar el juego digo: ¡olé! No eres solo Metal Gear.

    En definitiva, solo quiero deciros que si es posible os abstraigáis de todo lo demás y desde lo más honesto de mí os pido que si tenéis un mínimo de curiosidad en jugarlo le deis una gran (más de 10 horas XD) oportunidad.    … Expand

The only logic I can draw from that is that people are writing those reviews in anger at paying so much for a game they did not like, or the hype that came along with this game simply left them underwhelmed. For this review, I am not going to take price and expectation into account.

    Lets start with the good. This is the most beautiful game I have ever played. It just looks breathtaking. The variety of the map is also wonderful, from the snowy mountains to the dry and barren canyons. The music is also excellent and fits into the game world. I am so glad Death Stranding introduced me to the band Low Roar. The game audio is also wonderful, I played with Sennheiser headphones which maybe managed to get the most out of the game.

    The story was above average and did keep me engaged for the most part. I did find myself getting immersed in the world. The delivery of the story by the actors was also very good and on par with the beauty of the world.

    Now for the controversial bit...gameplay! For me it was not bad. I enjoyed my treks across the world, and also the moments of suspense when you come across BT and MULE territory. The driving however, left much to be desired. Driving was just a convenient way to get from A to B, I took no pleasure in it. The boss fights were also interesting but not very challenging albeit, I played on normal difficulty. Maybe try hard if you want more of a challenge.

    So, in conclusion, graphics 10, music 10, audio 10, story 8, gameplay 7 giving this game an average of 9.    … Expand

It is without a doubt my personal game of the year. Don’t let the mixed reviews fool you, a lot of those came from players who fell off during the opening game (which I get is a drag). But they didn’t make it far enough to see the story blow wide open and keep you guessing at every cutscene. I compared it to megan to the first 2 seasons of the walking dead. When I was into that show, I was **** in. And I couldn’t wait for every new episode and the story was incredible. The gameplay is fun and engaging but the story is what has me enthralled. If you even have a slight interest in this game, check it out. 9.5/10 (P.S. they added a patch to enlarge the text size in the option menu on the title screen. Do so as quickly as possible.

The time the game really blew me away was when I had just spent about 25 minutes scaling up a huge snowy mountain, and arriving at the peak, I see a beautiful view, and a lone building where a person is sheltering. This truly gave me a sense of peace, it was so lonely and desolate, then I see a little ray of hope down the other side of the slope. As i start walking downhill towards the shelter, beautiful music begins to play, and I start to get tears. After I meet the person in the shelter I feel good just to have that contact with a person. Then I connect them to the chiral network, and as I leave I can see all the signs that other players have been here before me - signs, ladders, ropes, crashed vehicles, buildings, and so on.

    The above is just one amazing thing about the game. I could write for a very long time describing just how different, creative, and deep this game actually is.

    The graphics are truly amazing, you can see that they took steps to get the maximum performance from the PS4 and the Decima engine. I can see that they had to sacrifice some things to keep the work looking so good. For example, the speed as you travel by bike, its quite slow, because they want to be able to render as much in the world as possible, but it FEELS faster than it actually is. They achieved this by clever use of sound, camera position, and environmental affects.

    For the rating I give it 9 points. Although it is a spiritual 10 for me, I try to be objective and account for the things that I see as flaws. What is 1 thing I would change? I would change the fighting and shooting mechanics - they feel clunky to me - maybe this is intentional, but still I didn't enjoy the combat controls.    … Expand

At certain points when it was difficult I was able to progress the game thanks to the various structures left behind by other players. The whole game world is filled with the players structures & it is a sight to behold.

    The story is the main highlight of this game, it is incredible & will put you in the edge of your seat at certain points. The story has many surprising plot twists & is so good that it would be a great Sci-fi movie of it's own.
    The performance by all the characters & the actors portraying them are excellent aspecially Cliff & Die Hardman's performance. It rivals even some movie's performance. The game's graphics is one of the best to be seen on a PS4 yet, the facial animations,textures all are incredible & as a whole this is a very beautiful game to look at visually.

    The gameplay is addictive & fun to play once you get a hang off it, I would spend countless hours delivering so that I can get that perfect 5 stars & it is very satisfying to do so.
    It took me over 85 hours to complete the game & I loved every moment of it, I honestly didn't expect the game to be this good.

    Para pessoas que estão procurando uma experiência imersiva e verossímil, esse é um jogo que sabe passar a sensação do protagonista em estar vivendo aquilo e também passa a utilidade e impacto dos seus atos na vida dos NPC e dos outros players.

    This is a great game, full and concrete, with a story to tell. I hope that the next part will not be too soon.

    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.
