    Eu adoro Walksimulator e to me divertindo bastante com esse jogo, a historia, as musicas e o fato de vc ter que sempre pensar como facilitar o caminho onde vc passa e com ajuda de outros jogadores são os pontos altos do jogo, eu gostei bastante!

    O jogo é excelente! fico feliz que kojima saiu da caixinha para trazer algo diferente, sim um jogo inovador, com mecânicas diferentes e uma história sensacional, infelizmente a geração nutella esta aí de mimimi... chora na cama =.

    This is the best game I have played this generation. Yes, it starts slow and has plenty of cut scenes. If you play it through it will win you over. If you are on the fence about it. Rent it and give it a shot.

    Jogo superou as minhas expectativas, introduz um sistema de interação social complexo onde é possível ajudar outros jogadores na jornada, até agora joguei mais de 20 horas e não encontrei nenhum bug, e o que mais se destaca é a narrativa excelente. Sei que é um jogo que não é para todos, mas ele é definitivamente para mim.

    I haven't finished the game yet, but it definitely doesn't deserve the hate it's getting. The story is interesting, and I'm excited to find out how it ends. Don't waste your time watching play throughs of the game. I don't think that does it justice.

    Calling it a "walking simulator" is kind of a low blow to be honest. I haven't completed a single delivery without something happening,

    Calling it a "walking simulator" is kind of a low blow to be honest. I haven't completed a single delivery without something happening, like getting chased by MULES or having BT's show up. It's rarely ever a simple A to B uninterrupted delivery, so theres a level of tension with each trip. After a while, you would actually appreciate a simple delivery. Most of the time you have a new gadget or upgrade to try out, so theres usually a new spin on the delivery process (i.e it doesn't feel very repetitive). The BT's are really scary, and I start getting nervous every time it starts to rain. Theres a real consequence to getting caught by the BT's, so theres a huge sense of relief when you make it to your destination, or the safety of your private room. Keep in mind when looking at the delivery list that the story missions have a thin line of gold going through them. You could get bogged down doing every side mission delivery if you don't notice this.

    The online aspects of the game are brilliant as well. It's cool knowing that the ladder you left behind, or the bridge you built is being used and appreciated by hundreds of players. I didn't think I would be as into it as I am. I'm hoping down the line that the player base completely rebuilds the world. I think that would be pretty unique. Full disclosure; I love the Metal Gear series, for what its worth!

    Ico
    Shadow of the Colossus
    Journey
    Alien isolation
    RDR2

    then you will most likely enjoy this game. The reason I've mentioned those games is that they have 1 major element in common. It's takes hours to get through a lengthy intro and then the games really take off. You have to have some patience and also you will not shoot a hundred enemies in the first level like COD. This game is very slow paced but also very thoughtful and you will not begin to see this until many hours in. At least like halfway through episode 2. Give at least that much time, like 10 hours.

    If you like a game you need to sink your time into in order the get the most out of it, then Death Stranding will not disappoint. The graphics and immersiveness of the environments will suck you in. The draw distance on consoles is incredible, even beating out RDR2 in fidelity. If you have a pro and an HDR TV your in for a real treat.

    The gameplay is slow paced except for times where enemies show up and you need to improvise. So far that has been my favorite moment in the game as I had to run and scramble up some precarious cliffs, deviating harshly from very well though out route. After I lost the baddies I luckily had made two ropes previously and was able to rappel down to safety. Like Alien Isolation, improvisation and quick thinking payed off.

    That's not to say the game is without problems. The inventory system and delivery terminals are a hot mess of confusing menus and information. I'm sure it's all useful in some way, but i'm not there yet. Also, the story is typical Kojima with a lot of exposition. It can get annoying sometimes when you keep getting calls on the radio from the supporting characters non-stop while your just trying to take in the game and play. So for me, these things detract from the game, hence a 9 score.

    So just want to touch on one more thing. I read through the negative reviews and see that most people probably did not even play the game or maybe played a few hours after release on Friday. Metacritic should really get a handle on this crap. If the game is not for everybody that's fine, but these ridiculous zero scores with no substance need to go. If you give the game a low score and provide some reasons for this, that's fine. But reading many of those reviews just made me realize that I should get the game, because just like the games I mentioned above, this game is not part of the same rehashed norm that AAA games have become.

    The new COD gets rave reviews, and yet it's just the same game as the original that came out like 12 years ago. And some people just want more of the same which is cool too. I'll spend my time playing Death Stranding, something new and interesting.

    One of the most innovative art work ever done, ever.

    For some no killing in 2019 is not a video game, and if you don't like the style of the game its a 0/10. In this case we can rate Civilization 0/10 for no action shooting, and rate God of War for no romance option.

I have so many stories about how I've painstakingly planned out a route and got the perfect equipment to use, only for it to go south and ruin my delivery rating in hilarious ways. But I also have stories about how I overcame the violent landscape using my knowledge of the games systems to my advantage. And this is not even mentioning the fascinating story with the best acting I've ever seen in a video game, or the jaw dropping art design/graphics. Everything serves a purpose in this game and I am so happy it exists let alone being probably the best game I've played in the past ten years. Expand

    Death Stranding is a monumental undertaking that is a among the best experiences in recent years. I may be biased as Hideo Kojima is my personal icon that I strive to be like everyday but... for a first time project away from Konami he knocked it out of the ballpark.
    This game not only helped me with facing some emotional issues i've been having over the past few months and Norman Reedus
    Death Stranding is a monumental undertaking that is a among the best experiences in recent years. I may be biased as Hideo Kojima is my personal icon that I strive to be like everyday but... for a first time project away from Konami he knocked it out of the ballpark.
    This game not only helped me with facing some emotional issues i've been having over the past few months and Norman Reedus as Sam to me is a personification of my mind state, granted Sam and all his other allies and adversaries are equally as interesting, Margaret Qualley as Mama delivers a performance that is the best of her career so far and Troy Baker as Higgs proves he can create compelling villains as well as heroes like Joel and Booker.
    The gameplay is extremely repetitive however this adds to the theme of isolation and rebuilding as Sam is for 99% of the game by himself only being supported by the Bridges team over the Codec (Nice Metal Gear reference) and the countless preppers the player will encounter throughout the game but the boring gameplay evolves into an addiction by Chapter 4 as the player is given countless ways of delivering cargo and packages with Premium Deliveries adding some satisfying to complete gameplay modifiers, the whole delivery aspect of the game remains the same but further progress into the story opens up more opportunities like using ATV's to carry masses of Cargo and also traverse Rivers and Lakes like a small boat and Non Lethal weapons like Stun Assault Rifles and Slingshots (Bola Gun) to peacefully knockout every MULE or Terrorist between Sam and his destination/destinations.
    Whilst I may think this game is perfect there are two things holding it back one minor and one major, the minor one being difficulty or lack there of. In my 90 Hours with the game (My copy arrived early) I never died once and that was on Hard Mode simply put the only difficult aspect of the game is inventory and cargo management but even so Kojima can make experiences that are challenging.... maybe not to the extent of European Extreme in Metal Gear Solid but something somewhat challenging would be appreciated and as it stands right now the game is a breeze even on Hard which to me is kinda a joke considering the themes and messages in the game.
    Finally the point that everyone reiterates and that is subjectivity. If you as a reader are the kind of guy or gal to play Fortnite and Yearly Releases then this is definitely not the experience for you it has so much quiet and slow moments that you might be burned out after the first 2 hours if this isn't your kind of experience. But if you are a Metal Gear or Kojima fan then this is a no brainer supporting the legend behind those innovative experiences. And please please please do not spend money on this game if you are on the fence and have friends or acquaintances who are telling you not to play it then follow their advice or wait for a sale.
    Overall Death Stranding is an experience like no other that encapsulates the best the industry has to offer and then some.

Each area represents a deeper issue in today's society. The mechanics are challenging and complex as well as being easy to understand but hard to master. If you are looking for something to challenge your skills as a gamer try this. If you are looking for a game like watchdogs or GTA move on. This isn't for you. There are going to be plenty of bitter and angry people who wanted a new MGS but that was never going to happen.

It doesn't make any sense, but was the only way to explain all the bizarre things of the game to the player. Them continuing explaining things throughout the game, but they’re just pointing out the obvious and not adding anything valuable to the game. Even the plot itself is absolutely tenous, because it’s full of plot holes and inconsistencies.

    Many situations are childish and serious moments [especially dialogues] are such cringe-worthly bad written that I facepalmed myself most of the time. I’m pretty sure it’s nothing to do with the bad English translating, but rather purposely written by master-writer-wannabe-movie-maker Kojima himself.
    Can you imagine there are enemies who have got high/crazy from the 'likes' they got from online :D really; enemies high of Facebook likes. I kinda understand the poorly made metaphora behind it of nowdays people living with the 'likes' and 'shares', but adding it to such context is just… horrible.

    Funny, when watching videos or reading online of fan theories made before launch were those that interested me most. All the fan theories and ideas were MUCH, much more interesting, imaginative and well-thought than anything the game gave us. If the game would’ve been even close of theories, playing the game would’ve been better. Kojima should hire some of those fans!!
    I wonder what he have thought when reading fan theories, maybe realizing how washy his creation was going to be compared to them.
    The writing is actually SO BAD, that even the characters' names are ridiculous and unimaginative that they feel like quickly scraped concept ideas (FRAGILE, MAMA, DEADMAN, DIE-HARDMAN, HEARTMAN, BB, BEACHED THINGS), trying to be something spiritually meaningful, but only what they do is spoiling the player by giving up their true agenda.

    The character that I hate the most is Sam himself (SAM PORTER BRIDGES) *ugh—sigh, pun intented*, Norman's acting job is very much like in The Walking Dead; one dimensional without any facial expressions, grunting most of the time and having no strong personality. This suites his role in TWD. Maybe the reason Kojima wanted him was the fact he liked Norman in the series, but poorly understood copying the exact same role (including the motorcycle, hairstyle and overall appearance) to DS simply doesn’t work. He seemingly wanted to use Norman’s fame and flair, rather than bothering to write him a good new role. Feels as they're Kojima’s personally favourite Hollywood actors, rather than perfectly fitting into the game. This gives another stamp on Kojima’s forehead that he is not very good upcoming film maker, when he doesn’t understand how writing a role and finding a perfect actor for it works. I’m pretty sure some non-famous never-heard new actors would’ve made much better job and that actually would’ve give DS more personal look.

    Gameplay-wise the game is poor and lacking, as well. All the balancing things with carrying the stuff was just dull and getting on my nerves rather quickly. Carrying packages from place to place, sneaking past those BTs and if they got me, I ended up to some underworld and I had to kill a boss to get myself back—now thinking of—to the actual hell of continuing the torture of endless walking simulation. All the bosses in the game were a way too easy, even in the maximum difficultiness (HARD).
    It’s so exasperating that the game has some interesting and peculiar aspects, but have bad execution. I can say there were good ideas/thoughts but being 'game-changing title in video game industry' it's not.

    The good things about DS is how beautiful it is visually. Sadly, most of the areas are vast and empty.

    The reason of over-marketing and using famous actors, is perhaps to cover all the lacking things. Kojima propably knew this game is trash and wanted to market it like No Man’s Sky with lying to the audience. Well, if DS follows the same route, then in 2 years it propably have actual good content in it. But, if you must "experience" this garbage, then just watch walkthrough videos on Youtube.

    It became very clear all those good reviews were bought from big outlets, truly sad and desperate move from Sony/Kojima. If he so badly wants to 'connect the world' and 'people stay connected' [as he keeps obsessively repeating over and over again in his social media] then maybe he should start to walk across the globe with a 'strand in his hands' and try to 'connect people' (again, whatever that even means? [thinking of Human Centipede]) and see how much fun is that to do.

    Like Kojima said, his studio is going to do movies from now on… well, maybe that is the best move since if the games are this bad from him he should quit being game developer. At least he got good starting money for his future movies :) good luck with that.

    Not really a 10, but just trying to help with review bombing. I would give DS a solid 8. I'm not sure why people don't like the gameplay.

    This game requires a bit of patience as it can be quite a long game, but if you are interested in the story and the world then it can make for a great time. Yes it can be slow, and you are walking for a majority of the game, but the interactions with the community playing the game, and the completely unique game mechanics have me really enjoying the game.

    If your not enjoying the game at the beggining dont worry, becasue as you progress in the game a LOT of new items, weapons, and tools are unlocked allowing you to handle the terrain, the BT's, and the raiders in a variety of ways.

    I do understand the complaints and i totally understand why you might not like this game, but for me its a new and fresh experience and im loving it so far.

    If your not sold on the game, or a fan of Kojima, then I think you should wait for a sale and pick it up cheap in a few months.

    I think Hideo Kojima has to be praised for doing something totally different, I can understand though that some will not get on with it at all. I think it’s amazing once I was past the first few hours.

The first 2 episodes are rather slow, and aim to lay the foundation for the story and expose the player to the fundamentals of traversal and cargo management.

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

    Can honestly say that this game is clearly not for everyone. But those who love it will LOVE IT. The game is so unique and isn’t afraid to do what it sets out to do. An incredible experience and an unforgettable one.

    Parts of the gameplay I love are that simply getting from A to B is difficult because of the terrain and falling over due to it, the sheer weight of this huge delivery on your back, the weather to with harsh winds make it one of the most immersive games ever. Not a walking simulator, it’s hiking up the most epic mountainous regions you’ve ever seen. Then the BTs (like ghosts) appear or the time fall rain which damages your cargo giving a sense of urgency get in the way. Enemies try to steal your cargo and it all happens organically in this beautiful world, also online aspects are great and you feel genuinely so great full when your stamina is at zero and your cargo is about to be obliterated and you reach a cliff only to find climbing gear left in the perfect spot randomly by a stranger. The satisfaction can’t really be explained. It is a very meditative game requiring you to really invest in the world and to be open minded to its completely different gameplay than anything you’ve played. For those saying this is only loved by kojima fanboys, that is ridiculous. I thought MGS V was the worst in the series for story but best for gameplay. This game is maybe even better than metal gear in what it accomplished but the two CANNOT be compared as they are totally different games made for different audiences. Hideo Kojima has made the game he wants to make and now I am even more of a fan. The only game director creating true triple A budget indie games because that is what this game is, indie through and through, not a blockbuster COD/assassins creed/battlefield game. Etc.

    I only pray that this game does well enough to inspire more creativity in what is a fairly stagnant industry (with a few notable stand outs yearly). Death stranding for me and from the looks of it, many others, is a masterpiece and a one of a kind game. Part of the problem in knowing if the game is for you is that there is nothing else like it. I only hope people pick it up to try because if it is for you, you will NOT be sorry!

Everything it's so thematic. There's also tons of stuff you can do while doing traversal. Only in this game you get caught up in thinking of ways how to be more helpful to the other players. That's definitely a thing where you can't find in any other game. Quite like this element of the game. Just receiving the notifications that you're getting likes for the tools/structures you've built on the map, sings you left for the other players, the roads that you've helped build gives you very pleasant feeling and you want more of that that's why you keep helping the others out :) I'm very glad Kojima did that game. That's coming form not a Kojima fan boy. I've only played the 5th installment in the Metal Gear Solid series and i like Death Stranding way more.

    If i could change something in that game that would be to probably make it a little bit more harder. I'm playing on Hard and i think that the whole world can be a bit more challenging. Also would be nice if Kojima threw in the mix some random events like on Days Gone

    Overall i'm quite satisfied with the game. Definitely stands out a lot from the other games.

В начале определенное количество времени ты доставляешь посылки пешком - наверное после этого и пишутся все эти негативные комментарии по поводу симулятора ходьбы. Потом постепенно тебе предоставляют инструменты что бы как раз убрать эту монотонную ходьбу или как-то ее развлечь - твари, МУЛы, транспортные средства, различные постройки которые ты можешь делать сам или помочь другим игрокам. Это все во-первых убирает тот самый "симулятор ходьбы", а во-вторых делает ту самую ходьбу своеобразным этапом игры который приятно проходить.
    Что касается сюжета - пока что вообще нет никаких нареканий, все очень логично и я не нахожу никаких противоречий. Те же убийства людей, которые нельзя совершать, очень хорошо объясняются игровой вселенной. Мне кажется еще и поэтому ставят негативные отзывы, потому что в этой игре не 90% контента это перестрелки или убийства. Здесь есть место и для драк и для стелса, но это все не есть основные игровые механики а скорее дополнение к основному сюжету. Да, согласен что большая часть игры это доставка грузов, я так же согласен что эта игра не для всех, но называть ее плохой и ставить плохие оценки это просто тупо. Это то же самое как например ММО с фокусом на гринд или какие-то карточные игры типа хартстоуна - все эти игры на любителя, но это не означает что они плохие.

    The game starts slow and you can't really understand what's going on which I - for one - like a lot. It gives world building a big focus, I love the atmosphere in the game. Yes, the main quests are delivering things, but the main focus is not that - the focus is on discovering new, abandoned parts of the country. and building things with the 'help' of other players. This is also very well designed as you cannot see other users buildings until you are connected to the network after your main mission. The online functions are very smart in my opinion.
    I, for one don't really like action games, but I have to say this game gives you action if you want to have it. [spoiler] If you want to play stealth, you play it. If you want to fight the BTs, you fight them. The game gives you the info/tools to do both if you wish. [/spoiler] . After chapter 3, things get rough, so only the beginning is slow.
    I don't think it's fair to give a game a bad review only after a few hours of playing.

    The game is brilliant but not all the players will enjoy it.the game is super real and this is what makes it so much fun.So many are complaining about the gameplay lack but if you put some time in the game and get good at (walking) it will get so much fun .In game your are a hero but not like other game. This isn’t call of duty.yes the game is about future but it’s more realistic than 90%The game is brilliant but not all the players will enjoy it.the game is super real and this is what makes it so much fun.So many are complaining about the gameplay lack but if you put some time in the game and get good at (walking) it will get so much fun .In game your are a hero but not like other game. This isn’t call of duty.yes the game is about future but it’s more realistic than 90% of the games out there. There is a point that a person like Hideo Kojima made a game like this. Game’s story is really complicated and it’s what I like about it but if you understand the story you will understand the (strand system).no offense but a regular gamer that never played a good campaign or story mode like the last of us will never get the story and the point of it. The in game musics are brilliant. Death stranding is my first ever pre ordered game and I’m satisfied with it. The game deserves more than 83. Game have everything that a game must have. Love the way they made death strandings scary. Good Job Expand

    This is not even a game, there is no gameplay at all. Just walk simulator.
    This is just arthouse nonsense from an overrated Japanese who cannot make interesting gameplay
    do not get fooled by advertising, it’s money down the drain
    Hidetaka Miyazaki is a true Genius with his Dark Souls games. And Kojima is just overrated swindler who did NoManSky ver 2.0

    Наиграл немногим более 20-ти часов. Хочу сказать, что если ДО выхода, когда игра была на руках только у журналистов, можно было спорить о геймплее, механиках, сюжете, то сейчас откровенно непонятен поток отрицательных оценок, причём проекту ААА-класса, котому по определению моветон давать оценку ниже 4/10 исходя из количества контента, проработке и прочих аспектах.

Не буду говорить о звуковом оформлении, графике, сеттинге и сюжете - всё на высшем уровне! Что касается самого спорного момента - геймплея, то могу отметить, что пусть игра и строится в основном на механике доставки грузов, процесс не ощущается рутиной, потому что игра грамотно "подкладывает" новые фичи, "механики" и задачи, и я не говорю уже о системе связей с другими игроками, которая не только вносит сильнейшее разнообразие в весь процесс, но и органично проходит через сюжетную и геймплейные составляющие. Это совсем не похоже на стандартные квесты "подай-принеси" в большинстве игр, геймплейно это оформлено максимально потрясающе, насколько позволяет жанр самой игры. 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.
