    Death Stranding is a very creative and articulate name for this game. But whilst playing, a few more possible names came into my mind as to what could explain this game just a little bit better. First, Walking with Norman Reedus. Just like his series on AMC, Riding with Norman Reedus, where you can ride around with him on his motorcycle, traveling to different locations and learning aboutDeath Stranding is a very creative and articulate name for this game. But whilst playing, a few more possible names came into my mind as to what could explain this game just a little bit better. First, Walking with Norman Reedus. Just like his series on AMC, Riding with Norman Reedus, where you can ride around with him on his motorcycle, traveling to different locations and learning about biker culture. This game seems to be a lot like that, but with walking instead of biking. There is an abundance of things to discover in this world when walking around with Reedus too, from grass to rivers to mountains and even more grass, rivers, and mountains! In Death Stranding, you get to walk around with Norman Reedus, delivering packages and other interesting things like "smart drugs" and human corpses. Another name that, in my opinion is better than the actual name itself, is Cut Scene. Throughout my playtime of this game (around 3 hours), the majority of the game was cut scenes. In between each cut scene there is a great amount of game-play. Before the next cut scene begins, you get a WHOPPING 5 minutes of game time before being transferred to the next cut scene! I got to play for a whole 30 minutes out of my 3 hours of actual game-play!

    When this game was announced, I was very excited to see Norman Reedus as the main character. Don't get me wrong. Reedus was a great choice to play the main character, Sam Porter Bridges. Sam is a man of isolation. He doesn't like human interaction, whether it be touch or emotional. He is a very independent man and when he develops an emotion about another human, he becomes very uncomfortable, which I think Reedus plays very well. This is definitely not a knock at Norman Reedus or any of the other actors in this game. They all did great at what they were told to do...act.

    Hideo Kojima is known for his strange and unusual ideas and game-play. This game takes the cake when it comes to unusual and might even take it to a whole new level. On a serious note, this game made no sense for the first hour I was playing, and much of it still doesn't. There is nothing exciting throughout the game and with the only plot of the story being to deliver weird packages with a fetus hanging on your chest, I had to force myself to play for as long as I did. I eventually got to the point where the second mission begins. After accepting this, I checked my map to see where I needed to go. I had to go back to the same place I JUST WAS! The place I just came back from!

    Death Stranding is an all time low for the gaming industry in the 21st century and probably one of the worst, most boring games I have ever played...and I am one of the least picky people when it comes to games (which is not what this game seemed like. More like a movie with an occasional chance to play something, than a game).

    The hype for this game was nowhere close to how the game actually is. With all the walking, talking, walking, talking, etc., the hype was no match to what this game really is! Long story short, if you enjoy walking simulators or watching your $64.94 game more than you like playing them, then this is the game for you!    … Expand

    I loved precisely because the game goes against everything I was expecting, and that's its charm. The game is not what the fans expected, but what Kojima expected. is a Kojima game, not the fans game.

    #DeathStranding  is so much fun for the mind. It’s like LSD - showing wonders only for prepared brains. The lore is vastly deep and immersive. Chiral knots concept are genius and going through every bit of design. It feels mathematically correct like the whole Universe

    More interactive world experience than a game. I can see why opinions are so split but I loved my time in the world. It can be slow at times but even then the camera will pull back and an amazing soundtrack will begin playing so you can just relax between the more tense sections. Maybe not an overall 10 but definitely not the 0s people are trying to give.

    First of all, this game isn't for everybody, not because it's 'too intelligent', or 'too deep', but because it is a slow, conceptual game, where the theme is more important than the gameplay, so if you just want to shoot someone or just curse your teammates for losing, don't waste your money and time.

    For those who want to experience something different than the triple As games usually offer, give it a try.
    The game is about an apocalyptic future where humanity passed the Death Stranding, and the cities started to be like 'islands', isolated from each other, because in between the cities the 'monsters', BTs, can appear all of a sudden. In this ambient delivering things between cities, being this connection, is probably the worst and more dangerous job someone can have, yet someone has to do it, so it's a little unfair to say that this game is an 'app delivery simulator' since logistic in this world is the most difficult problem humanity face. And here we have the theme 'Connection' is everywhere, I thought that maybe was a little too much, like the company name you work for is Bridges, and they talk about reconnecting the entire country, and you build and left bridges, roads, but apparently by the reviews, it wasn't enough.

    It is a slow-paced game, that demands work, collaboration with people you never met, and never will, planning ahead, and constantly maintaining and rearing tasks. So to quote Rick and Morty, because just because "I have no doubt that you would be bored senseless by therapy, the same way I’m bored when I brush my teeth and wipe my ass. Because the thing about repairing, maintaining, and cleaning is it’s not an adventure. There’s no way to do it so wrong you might die. It’s just work. And the bottom line is, some people are okay going to work, and some people … well, some people would rather die. Each of us gets to choose." And part of the concept of the theme is that connection is a repetitive task, is repairing, maintaining and cleaning our relationship with others, and that reflects on the gameplay, but the best part is, you are not alone, you can help others and be helped, when you choose a path to follow but you see a sign and a bridge you remake your whole path just because someone took their time, to gather resource or ask for them and put a bridge there and that for me it's awesome.

    A beautiful world, with some good comments as to how our society is growing distant with our technology that supposed to be closing the gaps. And how a little bit of work of everybody can have a great impact in the gameplay, literally the best part for me along with the music was the multiplayer, how you can help and be helped is a really nice addition that alters how you plan things and how you play at all.

    Of course, i isn't a perfect game, things like the accessibility and simplicity of the menus could be improved for non-gamers since Kojima said that they were part of the target audience. The physics of the motorcycle could be improved as well, but as the rest is a great game.

    I would put it as like the Animals album of Pink Floyd, as in the Animals the musicality serves the concept of the Album, and builds in it, Death Stranding does the same, the actors, graphics, music, and gameplay, are the basis of the theme of Connection of the game, without it, it can be a little boring or 'just deliver simulator' if you don't understand your part in these world as a bridge for the network of humanity.    … Expand

    If any other developer put this out, it would be getting negative to mediocre reception, but because Kojima put it out, it's a flawless masterpiece, and if you don't like it and are bored by the "gameplay" you just don't understand what Kojima is trying to do.

I honestly was scared to buy the game after reading so many bad reviews - but after playing, it became clear to me that the bad reviewers either didn't play the game more than two hours, or they simply have bad taste in video games.

    No entiendo tantas criticas baratas sobre este juego pero bueno cada cual su opinión digo yo, dicho esto entro en materia.
    En un buen principio te ametrallarán con cinemáticas largas pero entretenidas, ya que te van explicando poco a poco que está pasando en este mundo y el porqué de que seas “repartidor”, ademas te dirán un montón de términos extraños que pensaras: mmmm...de qué narices me hablan, pero gracias a los e-Mail que te envían los pnj, de las mismas cinemáticas que he mencionado antes y él gameplay , te irás dando cuenta de que ha pasado y que está pasando en el juego.
    Puede que las primeras horas, se vuelvan un poco lentas, pero poco a poco, no te darás cuenta y ya estarás enganchado.
    Según mi parecer la historia está resultando ser de 10 sin duda, y en cuanto el gameplay me parece correcto la verdad, no esperéis ningún shooter porque no lo es, tiene mecánicas de este pero para nada es parecido a los que conocemos. Hemos de tener en cuenta que el personaje que manejamos no es ningún militar ni nada por el estilo es un simple repartidor, así que experiencia con armas tiene las justas y creo que se demuestra en el mismo juego, cosa que le da su atractivo.
    La música es fenomenal, me encanta además que la ponen en momentos clave de la historia para que emocione mas el momento y tema gráficos, son una delicia la verdad, animaciones curradisimas tanto en cinemática como en gameplay.
    Entrando de nuevo en la historia, sabéis ese tipo de acontecimientos, relatos, películas o libros que una vez se acaban, te vas a internet o te los vuelves a leer escuchar o mirar porque necesitas entender bien de que se trata todo, porque crees que lo sabes pero a la vez tienes la sensación que algo se te escapa?
    Pues esta es la sensación que me da Death Stranding y ¡me encanta!

    Si os gustan las buenas historias y queréis romper un poco con la jugavilidad típica Que se ve últimamente en los videojuegos, os lo recomiendo sin lugar a dudas.

This game is exciting, the characters are great, the story is mind blowing, the game play is original and it's new and REFRESHING. Don't get it twisted the gameplay is entertaining and well thought.

En cuanto a los graficos, tiene un buen apartado grafico que lo hace muy realista, pero incluso con eso, no se salva de la monotonia y lo decadente que es la jugabilidad, algo que sin dudas no hay que dejar de lado. Hablando de la historia, ahora, no es una trama que sumerja al jugador a querer explorar mas alla de lo que pueda ofrecer, ya que todo esta resumido en la cantidades excesivas y abusadas de las cinematicas que ocupan gran parte del juego y muy poca intervencion por parte del jugador, haciendo que esto mismo, acaparare mas que la jugabilidad, lo cual es sumamente ridiculo... ya que lo que tendria que dar prioridad, es la jugabilidad y no tanto cinematicas. Tambien se abusan mucho de los tutoriales que dan, ya que cada vez que el jugador avanza en el juego, el mismo, proporciona tutoriales cada minuto, entorpeciendo a los jugadores que quieren disfrutar del juego explorando por si mismos... no me malinterprenten, no es que odie los tutoriales, de hecho son necesarios... pero el hecho de que sean muchos y de que el juego abuse de este elemento mas de lo debido, no es para nada favorable, y es ahi donde tambien donde el juego peca de molesto. En resumen, Death Stranding no es un buen videojuego, no es la gran cosa que todos dicen que es, y tiene mas fallos que aciertos, es un juego que no entiende hacia donde quiere llevar, que hace de su jugabilidad algo cansador y repetitivo, la historia es una historia que facilmente es una pelicula holiwoodense mas, es un juego muy cargado de cinematicas y de muy poca participacion del jugardor para interpretar al personaje, es lamentable que la gente y la prensa le pongan tan buenas notas, cuando en realidad deberian tener mas criterio a la hora de evaluar un juego y ser objetivos en ese sentido y no caer la exageracion de decir que el juego es el mejor de la historia, por que sin dudas no lo es, en absoluto.… Expand

    I may have rated it a little bit lower but I just had to compensate for some who obviously haven't played the game and just got mad at the hype and before-release gameplay footage.
    I have never played MGS, I couldn't care less about the creator, this has nothing to do with "fanboying" : got thrilled with the E3 trailers, now I'm 50 hours in and I absolutely love it. The game is amazing.

    I have never played MGS, I couldn't care less about the creator, this has nothing to do with "fanboying" : got thrilled with the E3 trailers, now I'm 50 hours in and I absolutely love it. The game is amazing. Of course, it is not an action / shooting rpg game, you won't expect to grab a gun and take down 30 ennemies all by yourself (though you can do that but you'll likely lose, and there are some action chapters in a setting that hit right in the gut. You don't kill mindlessly as in most game nowadays, the game is made so that you feel how it is to take or save one's life and most guns are non-lethal).

    Some +/- points:

    + The story is intriguing and the characters are charismatic yet flawed. It takes time to understand all of it but it gradually makes more and more sense. Some of it is artistically absurd, so if you usually enjoy this kind of things in literature or cinema, you'll be pleased.

    + The gameplay is actually pretty diverse, this is not a "walking simulator". Sure you walk, as in any other game really, but you have to take account of many factors, and there are dynamics that takes from horror games, stealth games, action games, management games and so on. The difficulty is well balanced as well.

    + The social system is innovative, feels great, and is well thought. It could have been so much worse : at first, I feared that other people's constructions would ruin the feeling of the game, the loneliness that you are supposed to feel. In fact, when you first get in a zone and didn't connect it yet, there are no sign of other player, the world is almost vanilla and it feels hard to get anywhere. Then you connect it and suddenly everything is less lonely, easier. It uses servers I believe, so there's not too much of it either, and it deteriorates with time. And it is so positive. You get to enjoy positively other people presence yet no one can disturb your journey. If you don't like to socialize with people but don't like feeling lonely for too long, you are gonna LOVE it.

    + The graphics are amazing, the landscape feel so natural but I never, not even once, felt it was "all the same". They did a really good job. You can feel there's a mood, an ambiance, especially when it starts raining or snowing or whatever. You feel loneliness, tension, relief. That game truly makes you feel things.

    + The sound design and musics are 10/10. I wish music could come more often, sadly it only follows the story, and basic deliveries will most likely be in complete silence, with the sounds of nature, wind, the river flowing. You can put music in some safe places though, which makes them feel even more "safe".

    - If you don't have a lot of time to play, this might just not be the game for you. It is slow paced, which is fine, this is the best way to play it - but it might get frustrating if you can play only one hour at a time. But if you have time, then it will be worth every minute of it, if you like slow-paced non-action game as I do.

    - I've heard a lot of complaining about the menu management, how there are way to much info on screen, written in small caps. It takes a bit of effort to understand but I managed pretty easily. Maybe, choose a day where you don't feel tired to get started, and take your time, you'll do just fine.

    - Vehicules are... well, not very realistic. I mean, it's not awful to use, i actually enjoy it on roads, but it feels like horses from Skyrim, either that or rocks along the way will just makes them almost useless. Going on foot is slower and you can't get as much cargos, but it feels so much better to play.

    - The "action" part of the game is not that great. It is not the center of the gameplay however, and you better avoid confrontation anywa if you want to be effective. But if you are used to FPS, you might grit your teeth a few times.

    Also I haven't got any bugs whatsoever, and I started day one.

    This will not be a game for every one. It's okay, to each game their own appreciation. I just wish the gratuitous haters wouldn't be so noisy, it mights get people who would love it to just disregard the whole game and lose a new experience that truly feels great, and not at all like a "second job".    … Expand

    Desde que empecé a jugar me tiene atrapado, todo tiene su porque y lo explican con una lógica increíble... realmente es un excelente juego y las mecánicas son increíbles.. caminar no es solo caminar y las cosas que puedes hacer son muy diversas.. no te aburre y saca un provecho a la grafica hasta el tope...

    This game actually surprised me. its one of those games you have to experience yourself in order to understand the concept Kojima is selling. Some of the game-play you see online does not do it justice. What you see on the screen does not translate to what you may think the control is doing. It is definitely more dynamic and more involved.

    I would also like to add that reviewers were missing out on the community aspect of the game. Now that Death Stranding is in the wild you can interact more with things other players have built or left behind. The stealth aspect of the game is haunting yet memorizing.

    Lastly, the graphics are sooooo photo-realistic and that alone makes this an enjoyable experience.    … Expand

    I was SO skeptical. I'm here to say I'm relieved and enthralled.
    I'm about to enter Chapter 3 and what a relief this game is--from industry standards; from looty-shooty--everything.

    This is a game about contrasts. It's enthralling. It has an addictive central gameplay loop. And the tiniest moments are when you'll feel the most impact: the ladder, road, or rope left by another player; barely making your run after an extensive bout with TimeFall; the encounters with BTs and MULEs are genuinely tense and engaging; the mini-boss fights with the cephlapods are arresting and terrorifying and a fair buffer for you screwing up and getting caught by BTs.

    Am I having as much "fun" as I did with MGSV? No. But I'm more engaged and the fun I'm having is amplified by the unparalleled production, drink-from-the-firehose lore setup and constant wonder that seemingly extracted from isolation.

    A masterclass in pivoting away from toxic, violent game design to empathetic world building and dynamic immersion through very simple but involved hiking and item management mechanics.

    Okay, death stranding is addicting. I came in this as a hardcore skeptic. Never played the Metal Gear series. I decided to buy it at full price because I love the atmosphere and setting alone.

And seeing the stats after going through these missions, you end up wanting to do a good job. You feel important. That's what sets this game apart from other games that has fetch quests. The cut scenes are AMAZING and inspiring also. I heard critics call this a "walking simulator" and they couldn't be more wrong.

    Admittedly, I’m only several hours in so far, but in this small amount of time with the game I’ve been absolutely enthralled from the minute I started to the minute I had to put it down to get some sleep.

If life’s responsibilities ceased to be a thing, I’d have guaranteed played this all through the night into the morning.

    Reviews have been so divisive on this and even those that have been highly receptive tend to say something along the lines of, “I think I like it...?” or “it’s boring, but it’s a masterpiece”. Those negative reviews completely dismiss the entire game as a piece of garbage with seemingly no merit. Still, after watching dozens of review videos, reading handfuls of varying reviews and scores, I couldn’t shake the fact that I felt like I’d really dig this game. I’m so glad I did. I was so hesitant to buy this game and even upon starting it to think, maybe they’re all right and I made a terrible decision. Nope. Not for me at least. I loved every minute of the cutscenes, traversal, soundscapes, and world that Kojima and his crew have created.

    I love the gameplay so far. The slow pace, micromanaging walking (which to me actually feels like Sam has real momentum and the feedback from the controls feels really good), the mapping out your delivery route, the aesthetics of the menus and open world, the graphics, soundtrack, etc. There’s chill moments and absolutely tense moments. ...and some REALLY bizarre, out-there moments as well! I guess it really does just come down to each persons individual tastes and phase of life. This is the perfect game for me right now amidst a sea of normalcy and same-same games - I love RPG’s, action games, shooters, etc - but it’s nice to have something so unique and so focused on a particular-narrow vision. To me, Death Stranding even this early in my play-through deserves nothing less than a 9/10. I know it’s a long game. I know, as with any game (RPG or otherwise) some aspects of gameplay do eventually get a little old towards the endgame. But I also know what I like, and it’s right here. This weird, gorgeous, oddly-fun (to me) game that Kojima productions has dared to make is EXACTLY what I didn’t know I wanted this game to be.    … 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.
