    Hear me out ya bunch of biased mushrooms!

    Pros - The world created. It's really well designed. The textures, the colours, the nature elements and the Sci-fi tech design all great. You have a feeling that you are immersed in a new universe, in a good imaginary and creative fake reality... - The acting performance. It's top class. Good 3d renders and camera work. Never feels goofy. -    Hear me out ya bunch of biased mushrooms!

    Pros

    - The world created. It's really well designed. The textures, the colours, the nature elements and the Sci-fi tech design all great. You have a feeling that you are immersed in a new universe, in a good imaginary and creative fake reality...
    - The acting performance. It's top class. Good 3d renders and camera work. Never feels goofy.
    - The story. This is really important, if a story sucks and doesn't look credible I would loose all the interest in a game... The story looks really interesting. Things seem coherent. It's interesting how they explain the technology of the fictitious world. And from a creative standpoint, its excellent. So many ideas and concepts. Being a creative professional myself, on this point I say "chapeau" to Kojima.
    - The soundtrack and sound effects. I like the way he's using music! It's inspiring. And of course the sound effects are awesome. In the past Kojima's games UX/UI - the menu stuff, as always been great ( Codec I'm talking about you!). So this time around it's also super well designed, all the small details are great and the sound effects are great. But there are some negative points here in the Cons...
    - The gameplay. The game play it's actually very good! Yes, you walk a lot, but what walking! It's a good feeling! Makes sense and there's good feedback on doing it. If the game world is believable, level design thoughtful, graphics that support it all, then yes: walking around can be a great experience and, yeah, fun.

    Cons
    - The game doesn't explain well how to play it. There's a long learning curve. I'm still trying to understand a lot of things, which is not negative per se, but at times it's frustrating.
    - The Menu... the item management it's too complicated. I think they could've done a better system. It's fine once you took the time to understand, but still frustrating.
    - UX/UI, menus have very small typography. The characters are too small! This is a problem with a lot of modern games! It's like they want a certain graphic design look ( some apple inspired thing, I guess) but that part must really be fine tuned! In a game where NPC's send you emails that can be long, reading them in such small texts are a pain in the ass...
    - NPC's... Ok, it's a post apocalyptic world and humanity has been decimated, but it would be fine to encounter, see some NPC's here and there and not just on the building/places you are supposed to go ( maybe this will change in the next chapters... but looks like it isn't). Yeah there's Mules... it's different. I would like to meet NPC's once in a while. Would make the game's universe even more credible.
    - The online function it's very interesting... But I don't use it all the time. Why? Well it's fun to find a ladder that somebody left behind, and sometimes an encouragement sign... But I feel that there's too many sign and "ladders" and stuff. Like you need to go to a Mule camp and there's like sign left by other players everywhere warning you... this spoils the discovery. If every time I go on a mission and there's a sign every 5min or so, it spoils the game... makes it less immersive. So my problem here is with the quantity. The idea is great.

    My conclusion is that this is a really original game. I'm glad that there are people in the industry doing this, and we need more high budget games that don't play it safe and go for something new. Otherwise the progress is game design is slow and boring.    … Expand

    The story is very basic but explained in a way that makes it sound super complicated and original, by over complicating a story that has been told many times before does not make your idea original.

    The gameplay is tedious and when it isn't tedious it is boring, systems upon systems upon systems upon systems. There is boot degradation, there is rain that makes things grow old, there is a cargo balancing there are systems to stop Norman Reedus from falling over, it is just system after system after system. None of which enhance the fun of the game, they are just there because Kojima was allowed free rein to unleash and realize every little pretentious whim he had.

    I appreciate what they did with the social aspect of the game but it counteracts the feel of the game. The game is meant to represent a dead world, you are meant to feel alone and stranded. A lone man bringing America back together. That is bit hard to **** do when there are bridges, watchtowers and other **** popping up all over the place.

    The game is slow enough of as it is but then the game throws BTs at you in increased frequency as you play, forcing you to go even slower.

    This game is a perfect example of what happens when you give a guy like Hideo Kojima free rein of a game.

    I will give it a 4 because the graphics, motion capture, story telling (not the story itself) and general quality are average for the AAA market these days but the gameplay, tedium and systems are all below average quality.    … Expand

Having finally been released I and many others are immersed into a game that I never would have dreamed possible, let alone so addicting and fun. There is not anything like this game and I am finding it honestly difficult to put down.

    Modern games like the overwhelming and oversaturated shooters leave something more to be desired, and that is where Death Stranding comes in. Instead of fighting off other players and trying to prove a digital dominance over the other via mind-numbing twitch reflexes in a game that leaves players like myself in the dust, you can't help but become excited at a game that engages the player to try something new and to utilize something popular games tend to neglect: thought-provoking gameplay. Hideo Kojima is a man that builds things not for just senseless play that would insult people when played, but something that has seasoning and sustenance. His games usually have something important to say, be it the Metal Gear franchise's anti-nuclear stance and shady behavior of politics and such, or anything else the man has directed, you know you are in for a treat. He makes games that you can play multiple times and catch something you missed in dialogue, body language, and events with the first playthrough. There is always something to be further understood.

    If you are looking for artistic genius and something new to bring to the table, then look no further and try your hand at Death Stranding. Go into it with an open mind and intent to try something new. I pray that you will give this game a shot. I for one cannot shut up about it!    … Expand

    Actually I don't like most inventory management and delivering quests in games but in these game it works. Because there is different tools and mechanics you need to keep track of to get from point A to B.
    All negative reviews are about MGS but this is a different game and best one from Kojima.

    I hoped for this game to be excellent. I wanted really hard to enjoy a Kojima game without the restrictions of Konami. This game sucks. Fetch quests, if you don't like them, don't play the game because if I had to sum up DS I will say describe it as a Twelve hours CGI film with some fetch quests in between.

If you're reading this, you must have enough of reviewers calling this game "Not for everyone". This game is only for those who are willing to take every **** with the name Kojima on. The game is in love with its self. There's no way to deny it. The core gameplay is boring and when it's not it's frustrating. There are so, so many parameters that you must check. Vigor, Stamina, Blood, Conscience, Shoes deteriorating, BB's humor, energy left in the battery. They don't make the game better, they're just there to bother the hell out of you. You're left alone in an empty world, a la Shadow of the Colossus, but this version of America lacks personality and atmosphere. Combat is bad but still a little enjoyable in the deep **** that is the rest of the game. The story is **** obnoxious. You are told in the first hours things such as "connect us" but you will never see the results of connecting people. The story is just told and never showed, it's a mistake that every single writer knows, even bad ones. Characters are one dimensional and even the great actors hired couldn't do much about them. The graphics are spectacular and Kojima as the director is amazing but those are the only positive things I can say about the game. It's a real shame because I was expecting this for years, since the first trailer. I will not preorder the next Kojima game.… Expand

    Creating a “masterpiece" - Let’s say you’re a game developer that’s really frustrated, really angry, disappointed of the whole gaming industry. You’re fed up with the greedy publishers, the big business politics, the spoiled ungrateful gamers, the stuck up gaming media. You want to stick it to the man, you want to stick it to the whole damn gaming world. How would you do it? How would a full triple-A “sticking it”-game, look like?
    Let’s see now… It would have to be boring, if there is something gamers hate it is boring game-play, it has to be too long, over stay any welcome, I mean like 50-60 hours long, filled with repetitive tasks, without variation. The hero, he has to be right out bland, a nobody, doing tedious grunt work, like a garbage man, or… a postman? Yes, that sounds like watching paint dry! A postman delivering parcels, walking for hours and hours to get from A to B, to C to f-n Z! Even the side-missions should be the same damn thing! Yes, that’s great! And when I say walking, I mean walking for half an hour of game-play to deliver ONE package, in a terrain that’s monotonous as hell, tripping over yourself. It must be a chore. The world must be stony, hilly, slippery, wet. And let’s make this guy highly unstable, and since he always carries too much, he will stumble over every rock and cranny. And if he falls to many times (and we make damn sure that he will) the cargo will be destroyed! LOL… No leveling up for him! Sound good, and after like ten hours of this walking, we give him some sort of vehicle, a motorbike, and he’s like, “Yes, finally I can get somewhere”, but not so fast, because, of course, the vehicle will be even more frustrating, it will get stuck, it is clearly not built for this, it will easily overturn destroying the cargo, and when and if the player get the bike going at some speed, we throw in the most generic mud-slime-enemy to F**K it up, to the point where the player actually will consider leaving the bike and rather be walking … Rad! Talking about the enemies, they will have to be boring as well, and too easy to beat, gamers hate that, even the bosses should be bland as H***, repetitive fights, not too much variation, abstract, like the smoke-monster on Lost or something . Hm, I like were this is going! So now we have the worst possible game-play, a boring postman as the hero, a few bland side characters with generic childish names, like, Stone-man, Black tar-man? But… what’s the setup, the story?
    …How about this, a dystopian empty future where this guy, this postman, saves America by delivering mail from cost to cost? You know that kind of naïve patriotism only a foreigner can make up… And then we throw in some quirky symbolic stuff, like other dimensions and stuff, and when we lured the sponsors and the financing in, we’ll make a few thought provoking clips to fire up the gamers, litter cryptic messages on twitter, hire big stars to kick start the hype. The Solid Snake-fan boys will eat that **** it up! They will eat it up and when the game is released they will gladly bend backwards defending the bore by calling it “immersing”, the mumbo-jumbo story by calling it “great art” and the 60 hours of repetition by calling it “challenging”! They will live in this denial for years to come! I will win prices and fame, because no one dares to say - “But the emperor, he is naked!” And just too really write it on the nose, we will make it really obvious, we will force them to weaponize their own p**, s** and blood fighting those generic bosses. We will have them p** and s** on cue, and every time they take a closer look at their hero, he will break the 4th wall, stick his tongue out and give them the finger! And while all this is going on… I will laugh my ass off!

    death stranding is as unique as it is divisive, and i mean truly unique; there is no other game like this one (hard to believe these days, but it’s true). the hardest part about reviewing this game is dodging spoilers; everything in this game, from the many gameplay mechanics to the “multiplayer”, to the plot, to the message, is all woven so tightly together that you almost can’t talk about one without the others, and each are almost impossible to talk about without diving deep into them

    realistically, this 10 is for me, but it might be a 5 for you, and you owe it to yourself to find out

    No, this is not a "walking simulator," anymore than Alien Isolation was a "hiding simulator," or a Quantic Dream/Telltale game "one big unending quick time event." That reduces what it actually is to a ridiculous level. It is also, not for people expecting a Metal Gear -esque game.

That reduces what it actually is to a ridiculous level. It is also, not for people expecting a Metal Gear -esque game. I will tell you who will like this game, people who liked Journey, who liked Silent Hill (there is an element in this game where you are notified of a change in the world, and the world becomes much more dangerous, much like whenever the siren sounds in Silent Hill, it is intense when it happens), Fumito Ueda games, Cyan Worlds games, Quantic Dream games. If you dislike any of the above types of games, this game likely isn't for you. The "clumsy" mechanics is intentional, to mimic the actual difficulty of traversing land. You do repeat the singular task of delivery, over and over, much like the task of travelling to the next temple in The Last Guardian, over and over. It's the types of things that can happen to you each time, which gets intensified, more complex, each delivery and the next, which creates the tension, addictiveness, meaning and challenge of the game. Not to mention a very compelling story. It is bar none, one of the best game I have played this year.

    I gave this a 8, due to two flaws: 1) the world is too empty, they can populate each station with a few people on the surface to give it a sense that it is a living world, though I understand the intention of creating isolation in the main character and due to aesthetic, much like a Fumito Ueda game like Shadow of the Colossus. 2) There is not enough stakes for the deliveries. Instead of cargo that are essentially all interchangeable with one another, it could have been that he's delivering a bomb or weapons or some secret codes or something that you SEE being used. Maybe this occurs later in the game (I'm still in Episode 2: Amelie). But these two flaws are a bit too jarring to not be noticed.

    Otherwise, this has been a personally utterly immersive and gripping gaming experience for me. When BB cries, and thunder claps, the rainbow appears, I get the same feeling of intense dread I felt with the first Silent Hill games I played, whenever I heard the siren. It was very visceral.

    It's not perfect, but between 8 and 9 out of 10 is where I'd put it. But do not buy it if you were expecting MGS. It is not. It's a great Quantic Dream-esque/survival horror-esque/Journey-esque/The Last Guardian type game, but with a lot more customization you can do with gear and a great story.

    at first i found this game boring with all the deliveries to make, to go from point A to point B rince and repeat.
    But after finishing the game, i get why the progression had to be this way. I'm on my 2nd playthrough and this game possibilities becomes more and more infinite.
    This game is awesome, what i was expecting from the Metal Gear Saga creator.

    Death Stranding is a game about delivering packages and connecting america. the story is only told in Cutscenes with no direct interaction of the Player. There is no decision to make, no Dialog between the characters. It feels you are not part of it. Looking from the outside. I think the interesting part of the game is the multiplayer where you help each other with other players.

    Finished Chapter 2, enjoying so far. All the bad reviews? Many of them are true. But these flaws doesn't really bother me because it's a game we rarely get these days: a true auteur game. This game gives you a world and characters you won't get from a typical AAA title and this why I'm willing to forgive all the little game play issues.

    Estoy cansado de leer "Entrego paquetes hace 12 horas", cuando esto es solamente la excusa que el juego propone para que recorras en totalidad su mundo y experimentes las dificultades y peligros que este conlleva.

    Sam es un transportador, y todo el juego se torna en esa mecánica principal, pero esta totalmente alejado de esa perspectiva en cuanto a la historia y jugabilidad. Jamas    Estoy cansado de leer "Entrego paquetes hace 12 horas", cuando esto es solamente la excusa que el juego propone para que recorras en totalidad su mundo y experimentes las dificultades y peligros que este conlleva.

    Sam es un transportador, y todo el juego se torna en esa mecánica principal, pero esta totalmente alejado de esa perspectiva en cuanto a la historia y jugabilidad. Jamas experimenté la sensación de saber que estaba ayudando a otras personas y viceversa, con el solo objetivo en común de llegar a mi destino con mas facilidad. La cantidad de rutas, construcciones y vehículos que pude fabricar y usar de otras personas me pareció algo realmente diferente, el sentir que a pesar de estar en una era de desolación, nunca estaba realmente solo.

    No entro a jugar DS como normalmente se hace en la mayoría de los juegos de hoy en día, para matar y destruir. Obviamente este tipo de comportamiento es el componente mas divertido que se puede encontrar hoy en día... Pero esta entrega me hizo sentir algo totalmente distinto, el justamente "reconectar", no solo con el mundo que ofrece sino con otras personas, simplemente fue algo único.

    Me parece emocionante la forma en la que el juego recompensa tus esfuerzos otorgándote mejores una y otra vez. Y como a su vez, este tambien te ofrece cinematicas y otros factores de entendimiento para lograr captar la compleja historia de todo el inicio y secuencia de Death Stranding.

    Hay poca acción?

    Depende de que perspectiva tengas, según mi opinión encontré mucha acción en el proceso de escape, la evasión de peligros constantes que ofrece el mundo mientras estas en apuros y el método de la "no letalidad" a la hora de encarar enemigos humanos y BT. La historia te hace sentir un poco culpable si simplemente encaras matando todo lo que veas.. Poder se puede, y no lo siento grato realmente.

    Desde chico fui fanático de los Shooters, de hecho en mi opinión son la mejor característica de los videojuegos, pero esta entrega me mostró una faceta totalmente diferente, y me hizo pensar "En realidad la mayoría de Shooters también son muy repetitivos, entrar disparar, llegar. Entrar, disparar, llegar. Todo se basa en aniquilar, y aunque sea atractivo por la gran cantidad de diversidad que esta mecánica puede tener, tambien se vuelve muy repetitiva, y lo mismo sucede con Death Stranding, todo el tiempo se entregan cargas, pero la gran diversidad que esta conlleva hace que ese defecto "Repetitivo" se vuelva totalmente irrelevante, como sucede en los Shooters.

    El que sienta que es aburrido, está en todo su derecho, pero recomendaría a cualquiera que trate de sumergirse en este nuevo mundo, que la verdad me dejó bastante impresionado en todo sentido.

    Le dejo un 9 porque siento que todavía tiene cosas que podrían mejorar, como toda innovación, pero no dudo en que es un respiro de aire fresco para toda esta generación.    … Expand

It's funny to say that this incredibly weird sci-fi epic strikes me as one of the more realistic games because of its excellent mgs-like mechanics. The walking-sim complaints strike me as disingenuous: this is a creepy, emotional, stealth-survival masterpiece, where every step and decision in a treacherous post-apocalyptic world has meaning and consequence. This is obviously not a guns-blazing beat 'em up. It's a carefully plotted strategy game with new systems and a much wider emotional palette than most games. You literally "brace yourself" when things get treacherous. You hold your breath when a powerful force tries to sniff you out. You run like hell when you spot an opening. That these expertly crafted moments seem to be flying under the review-bombers' radar baffles me. If you approach this game like it's a bold and audacious sci-fi epic, and if you read up on what to expect and tune yourself to that, I think you will be blown away by the graphics, sound, and intense suspense of surviving this world and understanding its evocative mystery. It's as rich narratively and visually as any truly great sci-fi movie or story, and it is absorbing intellectually, dramatically, and comically. The game is cinematic heavy and the gameplay requires careful attention managing your inventory and choosing how to navigate the world. I love taking my time inspecting the private rooms that serve as realistic and cinematic pre-mission hubs, and I love expending suspenseful energy and thought making sure that my loadout is suited for my missions. While I'm not a huge inventory freak in rpgs, the way that the systems fit with the narrative and world constantly reward me. Even when I'm at work i'm thinking about how best to prepare to survive and complete a mission. I find it constantly engrossing, and the world begs for me to understand its secrets. I couldn't be more pleased with this game. Finally, something different, beautiful, and awe-inspiring. I hope you give it the chance that it deserves, and approach it with patience and curiosity. You will not be disappointed if you adjust your expectations just the slightest bit to something different. Personally, I think it rivals BoTW with its originality and beautiful world, and it far surpasses it with its narrative. Very well may be my favorite game ever, but I'll let time and further reflection make that decision.… Expand

    Death Stranding is a weird game indeed. When you start playing you come across beautiful graphics, engaging story and one by presenting everything that has come. At first you start asking yourself, "Am I going to be pacing all the time?" But the answer comes over time and makes the gameplay very attractive with little touches of tension.

Death Stranding will start to whisper, "come baaaaack." It really is a magnetic game. It's hard to explain. Go redbox it and give it a good 5 hours. It's like a slow starting book, but then you'll blink and be hooked.

    Look at it this way, instead of approaching this as "playing a video game," approach it like you are sitting down to watch a Netflix series (a trippy one, like "Dark"), that you get to interact with. I've read people say the story sucks. While there are some premises to the story that are silly, overall, I'm sucked in.

    I CAN'T believe how interesting the game mechanics are. On paper, I thought I'd go nuts. After getting past the learning curve, I really got into it. Do your self a favor and don't pass judgement on this game until you are a couple hours past CHAPTER 3. Read up online on tactics to blow through the first 3 chapters ASAP, and then it really picks up.

    Because of the reviews, by the time I started, I went in with low expectations, so I'm sure that only helped me. Come to find out, it's not as bad as some peeps are making it out to be. It truly is unlike anything out there, but on the flip side, it truly isn't for everybody.    … Expand

    A beautiful game with a great story. Obviously a slower pace game that will be hated by some. But me, as really a non picky gamer, I'm ok with this. For me it's an enjoyable experience with fun combat and really eerie spots when trying to sneak around BTs.

    Juego malo de principio a fin, muy aburrido. Catalogado como un juego de acción es pésimo. La historia es mala. No recomendable.

    This game is by far the most boring game I’ve ever played. It’s pretty much a 60$ side quest. You will spend 99% of your time walking in an empty dull world with the worst voice acting I’ve seen in a while on cutscenes. The only good reviews are from Kojima groupies and Sony fanboys who fluff review scores because honestly that’s more enjoyable than this repetitive Fedex sim.

I can honestly see why Konami was ready to cut ties with Kojima. There’s boring then there’s this turd of a game...Speaking of in which you make explosive s with your own poo/pee, seriously WTF?The combat when there is combat is clunky and unresponsive. The story is loose, might as well interpret whatever the heck you want from this mess of a storyline. If you like fun/enjoyable games with great story then stay far away from this masterpiece of crap...… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a game that you will either love or hate: no middle ground here. For those Metal Gear Solid fans, you will get it 100% as it follows typical Kojima's video making genius. It is a very thick game that makes you think, plan ahead, and execute. I can already imagine regular games going at it from a conventional gaming mindset, dying on a mission early on and blaming the game for its poor mechanics; then running to a pc for a negative review. I'm a metal gear solid fan and it took me a while to get used to the mechanics and inventory management environment this games sets so yes, I would understand the frustration with some our there stating this game sucks. The story is compelling as Kojima is depicting the human dynamics post a global catastrophe and its implications . The reading material offered as a backstory in the game does the job, that is if you like to read or care to know more about it. Every character has a backstory and i love Kojima for taking the time to back them up. Details will fly over your head if you just want to pass this game. This is a game for the marathon runner. Take you time as most sub missions will enhance the play-ability and story line of the game. Over all, it is a master piece that will get better with time. It's a story worth playing if you have the patience for it. In summary, if you like shooters games, don't get this game but if you like a game puts you to think, appeals to your reading nature, and with strong story line , please enjoy Death Standing.… Expand

Forget who made it and forget all the people who talked this thing up for years. To enjoy this game you have to suspend your disbelief, rid yourself of preconceived notions, and let the game reveal itself to you. If what I just described is not your thing, then don’t buy this game. Also, you can stop reading this review now. In fact, don’t even watch videos on this game. It will likely drive you crazy trying to figure out why some people (or anyone for that matter) could possibly enjoy this game. If what I described is something you’re willing to try, then read on.
    Bottom Line Up Front: This is a walking simulation, with some action, lots of storytelling cinematics, and a boatload of foraging. More on the foraging stuff later. You are a delivery guy. And oh my goodness do you deliver things. From corpses and live humans, to thermonuclear explosives; you get things where they need to go. You will trudge through rivers, streams, grasslands, muddy swamps, deserts of volcanic sand, miles and miles of boulder strewn landscapes, and you’ll even get to climb some mountains.
    Specifics: You’ll need to manage a lot of inventory. Lots of items have durability ratings and so must constantly be replaced or repaired. (If you like to explore like me, you’ll go through quite a few pairs of boots in the early gameplay). The more cargo you carry, the more tedious and troublesome the delivery process will get. Each delivery opens up more of the map and progresses the story more. This allows for side-quests and other explorations.
    Foraging: As I said earlier, deliveries open up more of the map to you. This also allows you to see and experience things that other players are building, have built, and would like to build. This is where most of my enjoyment has come from so far. I’m about 18-20hrs in and I’ve spent about a third of that time foraging for materials to build bridges, roads, safe houses, generators, shelters, etc… It’s amazing to start building a bridge only to find out another player has contributed most of the needed supplies or just finished it for you. It’s wholly satisfying to be running for dear life from mules or BT’s (with 3% battery juice left in your exoskeleton) when you find a perfectly placed recharge station around a corner. Or a strategically placed truck at the bottom of an exhausting mountain descent. On one occasion I had over 50 items in my truck before I crashed off the highway and totaled the vehicle. I could only carry 20 items by hand. If you get too far away from your cargo, the game will move your “lost cargo” to another player’s game world and they can deliver it for you, return it to you, keep it for themselves (if its material or items) or leave it lost. In my case, I found a post box close by that was built by another player. It allowed me to store my 20 items and go back for the other 30.
    Sidequests: Some people have explained that the side quests are boring and just more of the same. What they fail to realize is that the side quests allow for access to upgraded weapons, vehicles, and transport equipment.
    In Closing: This is a very slow game, with almost no action. It requires lots of forethought, planning, and trial and error. Some may find the rewards for your hard work lacking. Others (like me) find the rewards captivating. Yes, the story is very disjointed and in the early hours it doesn’t give you a good sense of past present and future. But it’s intriguing nonetheless. And well executed to boot. If you’re on the fence, watch a couple of walkthroughs (at least the first 2-3hrs if you have time). There are tons on the internet and you’ll get a better idea of what you’d be getting into.    … Expand

    I have yet to finish the game, so everything I’m about to say is only from 20 hours of playtime. First off, the quality of this game is top notch. It cannot be overstated, and compared to the garbage that’s been recently released (Anthem, Fallout 76, Breakpoint, etc.) this game is leagues ahead. Whether you like it or not, you can’t deny that it is gorgeous, runs great and is free of bugs.I have yet to finish the game, so everything I’m about to say is only from 20 hours of playtime. First off, the quality of this game is top notch. It cannot be overstated, and compared to the garbage that’s been recently released (Anthem, Fallout 76, Breakpoint, etc.) this game is leagues ahead. Whether you like it or not, you can’t deny that it is gorgeous, runs great and is free of bugs. How anyone could give this game less than a 6 is beyond me, even if they don’t like it. Now, I do like it. A lot. The story is a slow burn and gameplay-wise the first 10 hours are difficult, as you are learning the game as well as your character being essentially “level one.” Once you start to learn things and get more equipment, the game starts to open up and become more freeform. As well as the excellent cutscenes (which can be boring, sorry, not everything is entirely captivating) you get lots of reading material to peruse at your leisure; it’s short and well-written and usually adds to the lore or story. I’m not going to get into the gameplay much, it is what is it. I really enjoy exploring these environments and navigating my character through paths in the terrain, avoiding enemy human MULEs or ghostly BTs that appear during “timefall,” rain that accelerates damage essentially. All the systems work together wonderfully to immerse you in this dangerous and foreboding world. I know its long and a lot of people are put off by what they think are tedious mechanics, but honestly the whole game just works. It’s a pleasure to play, to relax and soak in. I’d hate to have to rush through just to review it to pay my rent. What a waste that would be. Play Death Stranding with an open mind, don’t try to slot it into some preconceived notion of what you thought it was supposed to be.… Expand

Very early on the game teaches you that the shortest route is typically not the easiest. You have to plan your trips accordingly and ensure that your toolset loadout will allow for it. The social aspect is very rewarding knowing that a creation you built, mostly for you, is being used and appreciated by other players, via the "Like" system. The combat is a little clunky at first, definitely not on par with MGSV, but this game isn't combat first like MGS. The story is unique and does a great job to slowly piece together the whole picture.… Expand

This is not a game that exceeds my expectations in any positive way. In fact its a game thats filled me with a visceral amount of negativity due to the excesses of a singular man with a vision not in tune with reality.

    The game begins as a boring introduction to an empty bleak soulless world. Its few remaining inhabitants eek a life running from invisible entites and attempting to avert disaster by burning corpses and reconnecting society through the medium of likes. basically its a disaster story in which you play virtual postman to the game world whilst playing dodgems with ghosts.

    The perpetual fetch quest never ceases to brush off the bordom of its basic design. it simply isnt structured very well or structured in meaningful way for the most part. As you complete deliveries you slowly open yourself up to better load outs. The problem is that they dont really add anything in terms of interesting gameplay, alot of it doesnt even build on what you already have its just more of the same. Want to build a vehicle? click a button. want to build a postbox? click a button. Want to load yourself out with gretaer carry capacity. click a button. It never really develops into anything and the mutliplayer aspects really arent all that great. ultimately its very repetitive and even when it is different it stil feels very samey as you do very little different to accomplish the end goal.

    The game lacks any real sense of accomplishment. Pick up a box, hold down a couple of buttons to stop norman reedus from drunkingly tripping over the tiniest pebble known to man and dropping all your many boxes of stuff, that you barely even know what these boxes even contain so you dont even care anyway, drop them off at the next patch of isolated dirt with a 'gram' who blithers on about a plot thats barely explained in a way a sensible human being can decipher ,potentiaily by a 'well known celebrity' who i couldnt care less about them or there endorsement or the designers vanity for that matter. It all just smashes its self together in an awful fashion that creates endless amounts of friction that sets it apart from the shell it should be held beneath in a pathetic meagre fashion.

    After you have tirelessly continued through the tedium and established yourself as the number one postman of america and think this hell has come to an end. Nope its the horror game of the century, not because its content, the existing small amount of content, is scary, but because the very thought of me having to pick up my controller and play another round of tiptoe around a hanging scarecrow, shoot a man with a stick and run around like a walrus on crack through some terrible biomes of snow, grass or rock ,dont get me wrong the world is beautiful to look at it but it has no substance, is not an appealing prospect after 5hrs let alone 20hrs. Its the horror show that keeps on giving and all you want is for this horror show to stop.

    In summary,dont buy it unless you are god-like and have the pateince of angels because this a circus show like no other, a menagerie of pure horribleness that never ceases to amaze you in just how bad it can get. I purchased a game i expected to play, but im still waiting on my virtual post man to deliver, he probably got stuck in some tar on the way here. so i expect to receive the game i expected sometime, maybe never.    … 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.
