    Death Stranding es un juego que desde el primer minuto te atrapa en su historia y te hace querer saber más de la misma. Sus otros puntos más fuertes son sus gráficos, sobre todo de los paisajes, y los personajes. La jugabilidad es donde más se le puede criticar, sobre todo sus menús y repetitividad.

    А если серьёзно - игра потрясающе красива, меланхолично спокойна, чарующе звучащая, просто невероятна. Я не был фанатом игр Хидео и вообще его способов донести мысль, но после этой стал, определённо. Мне кажется, что эта игра ещё срезонирует.

The way Sam interacts with the environment is very satisfying and the way they introducte new tools to transverse the map also helped to maintain a bit of freshness + the soundtrack also made a considerable mark on me, to say the least ... yet it stills fails to provide a game in which I could actually be fully entertained most of the time because of its story's pacing.

    The plot, which even if somewhat convoluted, was very intriguing, thought provoking and emotional, but most of its actual content is literally dumped onto us in the last 2 to 3 hours of the game.

    Even though I got tired of the gameplay towards the end, I have very fond memories of this game. This is a game that stays with you long after you have finished it. Hideo Kojima showed he is a very good writer, although all the backtracking I had to do, lugging all the parcels around got tiring towards the end. Not a perfect game, but worth playing due to brilliant story and characters and world.

    Pros:
    - unique and interesting story with colorful characters
    - gorgeous graphics
    - players can help each other

    Cons:
    - gameplay is repetitive and boring
    - BTs aren't challenging even on hardest difficulty

    I enjoyed the game because of the story. Story was the only thing that made me finish the game. Gameplay was like a chore after a while.

    This game is example why great expectation can lead to great disappointment. That's a good game in terms of story (which is multilayered and full of symbolism and references to Egyptian mythology), graphic, OST and, of course, cast. Also I was glad to see Easter eggs in some NPC (which appearances was copy from famous people!) and additional materials (interviews and e-mails).

    Gameplay... That's very arguable thing. Personally I liked process of delivering cargo. Not only because that's pretty meditative but also because as your plot progress grow (and you get new devices) then you will be able to diversify delivery process. Also I highly recommend to play this game with Internet because of infrastructure sharing between all real players. That's very good feeling when you got like for you building from real person.

    But my problems with gameplay was linked with enemy encounters. That was pretty boring (although suddenly stealth is more interesting then open encounter because of environment audios and sinister atmosphere but boss battles is the most boring battles that I've ever played, sorry, Kojima).

    So I liked this game. But I would not recommend it everyone. And definitely not for the full price.    … Expand

I went into this wanting a different and unique experience and I wasn't disappointed. Props to the team for taking a bold step and creating a game designed to bring people together even though it's not a guaranteed formula for success. This is a very meditative experience which really benefits from you completely immersing yourself in the world, its lore and the characters. The story takes a while to get going as the universe has already been established for its characters so you do have to make a bit of an extra effort reading through some interview data you can acquire in the game to flesh it out further (as it can get a bit convoluted at times). But you can opt not to, and the game's story still stands on its own as one man's journey to unite America in the aftermath of an apocalyptic event. It does drag on a bit towards the end though which annoyed me somewhat, but I was already so invested in the story of the characters that it didn't turn me off so much. The combat is quite basic and the stealth mechanics are basically "crouch in tall grass or hide behind something" levels of simple as much of the mechanics are based on traversing the environment, which isn't necessarily a bad thing as it fits into the flow of the game. It does however become more noticeable during the few segments where you are forced into combat with bosses, the user interface suffers when faced with these events. Traversing the environments during the first two chapters is also quite the chore and may turn off some people, but if you stick with it until the third chapter everything changes. Suddenly other players are able to affect your world, and it's through everyone's combined efforts that the game world really opens up and you are able to experience what the developers really intended. Those first few hours were designed to show you just how tough it is to play this game on your own. You really feel alone and the monumental task ahead of you seems so bleak it just drains you emotionally, but then people start chipping in to make life less and less hellish for everybody else that even though Sam and BB are the only two characters you see for almost all of the game, you never feel alone. Definitely play this online as it will wildly affect your experience.
    Play this game. If the concept for you sounds interesting, if it really makes you feel like you want to dive in and experience it for yourself then by all means do it. I almost wrote this of on release as a pretentious concept but I was wrong. I enjoyed it, I really did. Don't be dissuaded by what most people are saying and experience the game for yourself.    … Expand

Pero quitando eso, me parece bastante buena y original; al igual que los personajes, siendo Sam, el protagonista, el más interesante. La banda sonora también me parece muy buena, optando por poner ciertos temas musicales en ciertos momentos mientras avanzas por el mundo. El mundo abierto está muy conseguido, con zonas diferenciadas de otras. En este caso, tenemos zonas verdes, zonas de nieve y zonas más desérticas. A nivel gráfico cumple las expectativas gracias al motor Décima de Guerilla. En cuanto a la jugabilidad, que la gente lo ha criticado por ser un walking simulator, no me ha disgustado. No solamente es andar de un punto a otro, sino que hay que ver la mejor ruta posible para llegar antes y sin correr peligro, porque el mundo está poblado de esos entes varados. En llegar a cierto punto del mapa, podemos abrir zona y ver los puntos interesantes y así organizar la ruta. Hay que tener cuidado ya que los caminos no son fáciles: hay rocas, desniveles, acantilados, etc. que hay que evitar o sortear para llegar a tu destino. Para ello, contamos con un exoesqueleto para facilitarnos el viaje, además de cuerdas, vehículos y más cosas. En cuanto al combate es sencillo, golpes cuerpo a cuerpo y con las armas disponibles abatimos a enemigos. No los podemos matar porque si lo hacemos tenemos que quemar el cuerpo o provocaremos una explosión y la zona será un cráter. Evidentemente, el juego tiene muchas más cosas, que tampoco voy a explicar ya que hay que descubrirlo al jugarlo. Uno de los puntos más fuertes e interesantes es el componente online, que no hace falta PS Plus y que consiste en que entre todos los jugadores construyamos carreteras, tirolinas, puntes para llegar a los destinos con más facilidad. Si la gente no ayuda, la aventura es mucho más difícil. Creo que es uno de los puntos más importantes del juego y es algo en lo que Kojima hizo bastante hincapié. Muy recomendable para vivir una experiencia diferente al resto.… Expand

If you like simple yet rewarding game systems where you are rewarded for preparing equipment beforehand and careful planning that can pay off sometimes hours down the line then this is for you. If that sounds kind of boring then STAY AWAY!.

    The Good: Rewarding game    I completely get why people don't like this game, its a niche experience and it just so happens to really appeal to me. If you like simple yet rewarding game systems where you are rewarded for preparing equipment beforehand and careful planning that can pay off sometimes hours down the line then this is for you. If that sounds kind of boring then STAY AWAY!.

    The Good:
    Rewarding game systems for thinking ahead and knowing your surroundings

    Beautiful world and music, seriously these are some of the best looking environments and designs I have seen in the game.

    Every piece of equipment has its place and feels like a genuine upgrade every time you get something new. Who knew building infrastructure could be so fun?

    The struggle and dangers of the world are actually a threat (play on hard), makes completing runs feel all the more satisfying

    Actor performances across the board are great and when the story is focusing on any character beside Amelie its great stuff. One of the biggest character payoffs is just a simple hug, good job Kojima.

    The story is a mixed bag but I found it to be a ultimately positive experience that just overstays its welcome. It also works a lot better the second time around when you know what the characters are talking about and what happens so like I said, a mixed bag.

    Themes of the game, not one person is an island angle is perfect for this kind of experience. Game play reinforces the themes perfectly and Multiplayer is purely cooperative and adds to this as well.

    Its really refreshing to play an apocalyptic game where its ultimately a very human and hopeful experience, would have been the easy option just to go full nihilistic but their is nothing easy about this game.

    The Bad:
    The story, especially in the later parts almost fall apart due to pacing issues. There are too many monologues that ultimately don't matter and the game ends up over explaining itself, especially towards the end. The story focus on how and why things happened far too much when the heart of the game is how characters deal with the problems rather then how they happened in the first place.

    Almost everything to do with Amelie is not terrible but is the source of my issues with the games story.

    Holograms, you will see what I mean

    Getting through the first area game play wise is the worst part of the whole game, very unfortunately as the first level of any game are very important. After that the game improves drastically.

    Too many little animations may seem like a small inconvenience but in the long run it really starts to waste a lot of time, a skip option for the BT alert would be a great start.

    Second time around you really feel those first 10 hours drag due to the lack of equipment. Some sort of NG+ would have worked here where you start with way more then the first time around.

    Conclusion:
    This is a bold game, and a completely unique experience that alone should be applauded even if its not for you. I love this game but I am not blind to its short comings and its far from perfect . Story over explains itself to put it mildly but the characters and game play are the real story tellers here and how they inform the story and themes is the best part of the game.

    You are meant to fall, you are meant to feel frustration and despair but you cannot quit because humanity is worth it. The people you meet, the bridges you build the other players who help you along this long and dangerous road, that is the heart of Death Stranding.

    8/10 Kojima and his team have made something special here but the next time maybe rennin Kojima a little.    … Expand

    A great concept and an enjoyable game held back by some poor execution and progression that feels like a repetitive slog at times.

    Although it takes a very long time to get there, the payoff is ultimately worth it in my opinion. In typical Kojima fashion, the story teases you along bit by bit until it finally comes crashing down in overwhelming fashion with twist after twist being    A great concept and an enjoyable game held back by some poor execution and progression that feels like a repetitive slog at times.

    Although it takes a very long time to get there, the payoff is ultimately worth it in my opinion. In typical Kojima fashion, the story teases you along bit by bit until it finally comes crashing down in overwhelming fashion with twist after twist being thrown rapidly at the player until the final conclusion. The story touches on themes of loss, isolation, human connection and legacies left behind. Some gameplay elements are intentionally incorporated to implement and support these themes.

    The gameplay itself is pretty hit or miss. I'd essentially describe it as a sci-fi logistics simulator. Combat exists but like Kojima's Metal Gear series it is typically meant as an obstacle to avoid when possible, not something to be sought out. The core logistical/delivery mission gameplay can be compelling and challenging if the player engages with it but overall it may feel like more of an obstacle to pass through to get to the story than a draw in and of itself. Patient players who put more emphasis on sights, framing and atmosphere or who want a relaxed, less intense experience will probably find Death Stranding worth it. Other players looking for a more action oriented or more strictly gameplay focused experience may not find it worth it.    … Expand

    It's a shame so many people can't understand this game. For me, it was a pleasant journey. The story is very good, I like every character, each one has a good background and the plot is very original, very complex story. The visuals are amazing, the world is hugely detailed. The music is very good also. The game is repetitive? Yes, a lot, but I actually enjoyed to traverse the world (well,It's a shame so many people can't understand this game.

    One thing to improve if there's a sequel: the combat is meaningless. It requires something more dynamic and exciting. Killing BT's is kinda boring after defeating many.    … Expand

    There are many areas of the game that could have and should have been patched, but weren't: Physics of cars (it is awful), menu navigation and acessibility. Lack of "Load game" in the death animation (you need to die, ressurrect, wait multiple loding screens, and only then you can click to load the save).
    Despite these flaws, the actual meat of the game, which is delivering and retrieving packages, planning your route, which items to take, is actually quite enjoyable. Once I get the platinum, I will probably never play it again, though.
    Overall, I give an 8 out 10, because despite the many flaws and lack of replayability value, the game is beautiful, well crafted and unique, and we need more of such games.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off I spent 3 days reading reviews, watching review videos about the game. I decided to give it a try, the game was about half price.
    I finished yesterday the game and I think the game is really worth it, not the full price but in discount totally.
    Its true the game starts and first scenes are really nice, but early game its boring (it is what it is) but has you progress the game becomes really interesting with plenty of equipment to help you from weapons to skeletons etc. The game will then progress faster cause you can carry much more weight and you start to catch the tricks in carrying packages around.
    The story along the way will help you maintain the interest in the game (I speak for me) sometimes you wont even understand sh** about whats happening but in the end you figure all out because that's another point in the game it makes you play to the last second in order for you to understand the story.
    So if you are a bit afraid of buying, I think it will be worth your time, I took 66 hours to finish the game (I cant play every day so if you can you will finish sooner probably) but I had fun I came back even when I didn't play a whole week, usually when this happens and I don't like much the game I don't come back to play it ever.
    So if you're curious like I was but the reviews are making you think twice, forget them and just see for yourself how nice the game can be.    … Expand

Hace un montón de cosas nuevas en términos de juego, rima y narrativa, pero en serio, no merece esa puntuación de usuario, es injusto. No confíes en el bombardeo de revisión.

    No es un juego aburrido, pero es lento. es un juego que tienes que jugar de cierta manera. No es el tipo de juego que pones cuando regresas del trabajo y tienes una hora para jugar. Tienes que empatizar con los personajes y el mundo para obtener la experiencia completa. Si lo juegas como tiene que ser, pasarás muchas horas ayudando a la gente, tomando su carga perdida y usando estructuras de otras personas. O simplemente ver los paisajes y explorar. En serio, es fácil invertir más tiempo que piensas lejos de la narrativa, pero como dije, si no puedes hacerlo, probablemente este juego no es para ti.

    Ahí es cuando los conceptos de conexión se hacen más fuertes. La comunidad siempre está tratando de ayudarse mutuamente a construir estructuras, o dejando sus herramientas para ayudarse unos a otros, sin esperar nada a cambio. La comunidad es saludable y colaborativa.

    Tiene algunos segmentos de acción que son "ok", nada nuevo pero lejos de terrible, un poco genérico, tal vez. Pero este juego es más fuerte en los pequeños momentos y eventos, cuando por ejemplo sufres mules ataque cuando estás lleno de carga. No es para el combate: es por la tensión, tienes miedo de perder tus cosas porque era muy difícil de obtener, y perderlo no es una opción. O los primeros encuentros con los VT, tu estrategia vs el tiempo...

    Me encanta este juego, en serio. No es perfecto, no es para todos, pero si tienes un poco de criterio en los videojuegos creo que puedes apreciar las grandes cosas de este juego.

    Como currículum...

    Pros:
    -Una propuesta de juego arriesgada y revolucionaria que se siente muy original y hace que una tarea repetitiva de otro videojuego sea muy entretenida
    -La historia es increíble y los personajes, la tradición y el universo son muy únicos.
    -A medida que avanza el juego, siempre tienes nuevas opciones, herramientas y descubrir cosas nuevas.
    -Los momentos de "música" son simplemente increíbles. Un montón de "momentos bonitos" para recordar mientras se juega.
    -Las características en línea añaden mucha profundidad en el juego. El complejo es increíble.

    Contras:

    -Las primeras 1-2 horas (+/-) son un poco extrañas, tu conexión con el mundo hace frío y no tienes información sobre nada en el primer segmento.
    -Si no te gusta el juego lento, tal vez este juego no tiene demasiados segmentos de acción para usted.
    -Un poco más de variedad en las condiciones de carga de las misiones sería genial
    -Jugar sin conexión mata la experiencia.    … Expand

    Edit: Antes de mais nada, o review a seguir vai mostrar minhas opiniões pessoais em relação ao jogo, aqui deixo apenas o que penso a respeito do hate que esse jogo levou, mais que injustiçado. De antemão o jogo não é um jogo perfeito, mas faz a maior das coisas que se propõe certas, e com certeza foi um marco para essa geração. Não adianta reclamar da saturação do jogos que copiam os estilos e não dar pelo menos uma chance quando alguém, principalmente do porte do Kojima oferece uma novidade, é preciso ter a mente mais aberta, eu também senti a mesma coisa que a maioria das pessoas que ficaram desconfiadas quanto ao jogo, mas eu esperei poder jogar para poder opinar realmente, e o jogo me surpreendeu positivamente, então vamos ao que importa.

    Resumo
    Death Stranding é o tipo de jogo que não dá para classificar em um estilo fixo, apesar de beber de uma fonte do estilo de jogos abertos, é inegável que até o momento (2021) ele é um jogo único, e que merece os seus méritos por pelo menos pensar fora da caixinha, o jogo vai agradar muita gente que achou que seria monótono, eu era um, mas as mecânicas que foram empregadas aqui influenciam e muito, e a diversão no meu ponto de vista foi nas possibilidades que o jogo te dá, junto com os recursos, depois de entender suas mecânicas, cada pessoa vai criar os seus "nós" do jeito que acha que deve com o jogo.

    PONTOS POSITIVOS

    - O que realmente brilhou aqui é a história, aqui temos toda a doidera de Hideo Kojima, mas que fez desse mundo algo rico com personagens memoráveis, que começa com o protagonista, e vai até parte de seus NPCs que encontramos, o enredo é rico, cheio de reviravoltas justificáveis, tudo nessa narrativa me leva a crer que Death Stranding seria um excelente série da HBO fácil fácil.

    - A mecânica social de Death Stranding é algo que realmente me surpreendeu, os elos socias das estruturas que o jogo possui, me fez, uma pessoa que odeia multiplayer, querer estar mais lincado com pessoas que jogam o game

    - Death Stranding é um jogo que tem bastante coisa para fazer, de forma errada se fala que é um jogo com missões de ir do ponto A, para o ponto B, mas o que você pode fazer para facilitar suas missões é algo que me prendeu realmente nesse Jogo;

    - Os gráficos desse jogos estão muito bem feitos, é fácil ficar preso olhando para os cenários do Título, eles tem uma beleza peculiar que faz o jogo ser relaxante, ao mesmo tempo que se percorre a sua história

    - Por ultimo, a trilha sonora do Jogo é memorável, e merece um tópico exclusivo por aqui.

    PONTOS NEGATIVOS

    - A Física de alguns veículos são completamente frustrantes em alguns casos, quase todos os equipamentos de Sam são aprimoráveis de forma a se tornarem as entregas mais fáceis durante a progressão do jogo, mas os veículos as vezes são totalmente sem resposta, alguns exemplos são um rocha mínima é capaz de fazer o veículo travar, outra é que até a ré parece que tem um delay enorme no jogo para entender que é para o veículo andar para trás, ao meu ver os aprimoramentos dos veículos poderiam incluir o aumento da tração dos mesmos, tenho certeza que não iria influenciar na proposta do jogo;

    - Sem dúvidas o jogo tem uma histórica que beira o inpecável, mas no terceiro ato do game, senti que ficou arrastado algumas partes que já davam para ser entendidas sem uma cutscene de 2 **** horas, adicional a isso a parte chata é que uma parte legal da história está em entrevistas, e eu até entendo que tem coisas que simplesmente não da para jogar diretamente na história, mas particularmente em um jogo que tem potencial para se ter mais de 100 horas de jogo, sou a favor das coisas serem mais simplificadas;

    - A mecânica de gerenciamento de carga poderia ser mais otimizada, as vezes para fazer uma ação eu tive que percorrer 3 itens do menu, acho que se a proposta do jogo gira em torno disso, poderia se encurtar as escolhas nesses menus, um exemplo disso é que não da para pegar uma carga do chão e colocar diretamente no veículo que vc está usando, vc tem que colocar na suas costas abrir o menu de cargas, e se o veículo estiver bem próximo é que se pode fazer essa transferência, no inicio nem da para reclamar, mas depois de 50 horas de jogo fica massante.

    Em suma, Death Stranding pode não ter sido o que todo mundo esperava, mas me deu algo novo para entender que se eu quero algo novo eu tenho que estar disposto a experimentar algo novo, não to dizendo aqui que você é obrigado a gostar do Título, mas que uma atitude foi tomada, e posso concordar que vai ser um entretenimento divertido para todo mundo, mas sou a favor de incentivar essas ideias, Hideo Kojima saiu vitorioso no meu conceito entregando um marco, divisivo, mas ainda assim, um marco.

    Gameplay: 8.5

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If it wasn't for the pandemic, I would give the game a 6.5/10. But thanks to the immense boredom of self-quarantine, I invested enough time into the game to actually understand the story. But once I did, I absolutely loved the game!!! I'll be honest, the fun doesn't really start until you're at the middle of the game. And the game mechanics are more-or-less based on reality, so action sequences don't have the best gaming dynamics. However, if they really chose to go the "reality" way, I don't get how a person could possibly carry upwards of 100kgs of cargo on their back and manage to travel uphill.

    But boy, it gets to you towards the end... pretty deep stuff. I even shed a tear when the game got over. The final stretch of the game is when you really learn more stuff about the characters and how they became what they are.
    I just feel like the action sequences could use better combat mechanics, especially during boss fights where Sam (protagonist) gets knocked down and gets eaten before even getting a chance to get up and move.

    My advice to a first time player: yes, its mostly deliveries, but each delivery has new and interesting challenges. If you put enough time into the game, you won't be disappointed. Its certainly not a combat-first game, but it doesn't disappoint.    … Expand

    The game requires patience and a long attention span. The reward is a beautifully told original story set in a unique world. At times the games cleverness gets the better of it (some of the characters have cheesy names, and some attempts at humor are cringy), but ultimately it is a fantastic game well worth the work required to complete it.

I'm studying as a scriptwriter and i can confidently say that if this game was a movie it would be 11/10. What ruins it for many people is the gameplay aspect. Unfortunately i'm obligated to agree since that is true. Controls on ps4 feel amazing and interactions with monsters (i don't mean energy drinks) feel even more frightening because of the smooth vibrations. But vehicle controls… Don't even attempt to drive a transport on a road that has more than 1 rock on it, unless it is a transporting skateboard. The music part hits really good just in time, but i'm disappointed about a fact that you're actually not able to listen to it freely while being on your way.

    U should buy this game if you support the idea that videogames are the evolution from books and movies, if you're really disappointed about The Last Of Us 2 script or if you want some really strong story.    … Expand

    What a fantastic game. Just wow...
    I dont even know where to start! Game obviously had it flaws, and as it is not a clear 10/10 it just felt good ending it.
    What i find negative is the fact that game need imo good 10-15 hours to start showing it colors. It starts really slow with giving only hints of what could come. That filters of course many players, as not anyone had a time and    What a fantastic game. Just wow...

    What i find negative is the fact that game need imo good 10-15 hours to start showing it colors. It starts really slow with giving only hints of what could come. That filters of course many players, as not anyone had a time and patience today. Me myself was playing after my family went sleep so i had a lonely time for me. And it benefited the expirience! But back on the bad things. Steering sucks at this title. Anytime i need to go offroad it just felt like steering a can. Mules are no challange and are too few of them. The world felt empty... but i need to say after 20h o find that actually nice. It let me chill after busy day and enjoy the views.
    Story - the stand out part of the title. Its original and full of hitting moments. I cried like 2 times during the ending. It something that really impacted me as a player.
    Graphics - just wow.
    Music - hard to rate as the game goes almost silent most of the time... But as you going downhill after that hard walkthrough and game starts playing low roar.. wow.
    I will not make it longer. As i loved it as it was 10/10 i must give it a 8.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I too was someone that saw this game coming with previews and the reviews I saw really put me off seeing as though it appeared to really just be package delivery boy the game so I didn't buy it. However I just bought the game 4 days ago and I seriously couldn't be more excited to keep playing. About 5 hrs in definitely starts to feel like your doing nothing but after you get to the wind farm things really start to pick up. If your playing or haven't tried it yet all you need to know is yes the beginning is a bit slow but the story keeps you motivated. However if you feel it's starting to drag than just stick to main story missions. After that just make it at least to the lake. Give it to the lake and I promise you will not be able to put it down. I totally understand why people hate this game as its definitly not for everyone. But it is really a fun great game and I'm not even normally a Kojima fan but after this game I sure as hell am a fan kow. This game is great and only gets an 8 because some times it doesn't really drag for a little and a few cheap feeling times enemies caught me that were just impossible to avoid but oh so much fun to try and run away before your able to fight lol… Expand

    The stag and the pool.

    It is hard to rate Death Stranding, especially for someone who has played and holds dear Kojima's creations for over 20 years now. I was predisposed to like the game and fully enjoyed 100+ hours for full completion, but the game did not hold up to the initial expectations. It deserves a strong 8, but not more. Story - this is what it's all about, right?! After    The stag and the pool.

    It is hard to rate Death Stranding, especially for someone who has played and holds dear Kojima's creations for over 20 years now. I was predisposed to like the game and fully enjoyed 100+ hours for full completion, but the game did not hold up to the initial expectations. It deserves a strong 8, but not more.
    Story - this is what it's all about, right?!
    After all the mindblowing trailers and mystified info the expectations were obviously over the top. Did the game deliver? Well, not quite. The overly convoluted story is fascinating, the exceptional production value is apparent, well, mostly, excessively repetitive cutscenes during pick-ups and deliveries spoil the impression a bit. But the biggest issue stems from the unseriousness of the presentation. Being sometimes mocking and silly boded well for MGS series, even it's sometimes deliberate cheesiness fit well. But that doesn't go well with Death Stranding, moreover, it crosses the line from entertaining to ridiculous. It gives the impression that Kojima didn't trust himself to present the story in the full seriousness. The overly cheesiness (breaking the fourth wall you say?!) and silliness at some points pull the player out of the immersion and enjoyment.

    Gameplay - this is what everybody was concerned about at the beginning and where the game arguably would fall short: BORING. I can feel others who think like that, but not me. I genuinely enjoyed playing the game. Of course the gameworld and overall atmosphere contributed a lot. There's a constant haunting serenity in Death Stranding, where even strolling from A to B is satisfying. But of course there's not only that. The gameplay is an evolution of MGS V in some sense. Where many games do a good job of providing a smooth progression curve, or upfront allow to play a short portion with a leveled up character, to give a glimpse of what's to come, Death Stranding is unforgiving (especially if you play on Hard difficulty). You are thrown into this hostile world with only a few tools to survive and it's genuinely hard at the beginning, but once you progress, you gain more experience and more gadgets to help you with the deliveries. The progression does not merely make the game easier, but elevates the gameplay to a new level, where the whole gamestyle changes. And when passing through the locations you've visited earlier, you catch yourself occasionally reminiscing on the troubles you've had. The early routine is mainly about anxiously navigating from start to the destination, but as you progress, especially if you go for 100% completion, you spend more time planning optimal routes and resources, and don't hesitate to confront BTs and Mules. Here the whole shared world concept deserves mentioning. Once you open new areas and connect them to the network, you begin sharing the game world with other players. Some aspects of that are very well thought through, like upgrading, repairing and using the structures of other players, or having your structures upgraded and repaired by the others. The structures that prove to be useful are being well taken care of(and of provide many 'likes' - an in-game rating). Some other concepts though, like donating materials, delivering other players' lost cargoes don't provide enough incentive and seem redundant.

    Verdict.
    The game for sure generated divergent opinions. Some consider it Kojima's best creation, others claim Death Stranding is simply an overhyped junk. I say it's definitely worth trying as it provides some unique experience and an interesting story. But once you start, you need to overcome the initial frustration and let the game grow on you.    … Expand

    This game isn't for everyone. It is a bit slower-paced, and the movement can be difficult. However, the game world is so unique and beautiful that you can't stop playing. The soundtrack is phenomenal and fits the game world very well. All in all, it is a very unique game and I applaud Hideo Kojima for trying to think outside of the box.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (8) Very Good. Innovated, but perhaps not in the right choice for everyone. This score indicates that there are many good things to be had, but arguable so.

    To start off with, the graphics are insanely good and so is the story and characters. This game has a good message to tell the world too. This game suffers from story beats being too far in between which will force some players to give up and just research the ending. You are pretty much just a delivery gut in this game but there is more than just walking like people say and they let you unlock other stuff pretty quickly. Gameplay is smooth but the first 8 hrs of the game you are wondering if all the walking complaints are true but it’s just the initial game mechanics. You’ll be driving, and zip lining in no time. Just be sure to plan your route for vehicles otherwise, you’ll be walking.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ahh yes, the walking simulator as they say. To be fair, I don't think you're walking around very often with a baby attached to you while at risk of being attacked by dead spirits from other dimensions. There are weaknesses to Death Stranding, but the package delivering simulation is not one of them. I think its a strength if you have patience and like being fully immersed in a strange open world. In fact, there are many strengths in this game. The non combat gameplay is top level. The story and characters are phenomenal. The graphics are amazing, and the world design is beautiful. That being said, I can understand how this game could be boring to some. Luckily, I didn't have that problem. However, there was one glaring weakness, and that was the combat gameplay. It was rough, slow and difficult. Nothing about firing a weapon felt smooth or satisfying, especially in the gun battles against Cliff Unger. I really just wanted to skip that part of the game. But overall, I really like Death Stranding, and I recommend it to anyone who has patience, likes a bit of challenge, and enjoys immersing themselves in a beautiful open world.… Expand

    Los personajes tienen la capacidad de soltar diálogos que causan pena ajena y la historia ni siquiera es complicada, simplemente Kojima encuentra formas de darle mil vueltas al asunto.

    Sin embargo los mejores momentos del juego son cuando ignoras a los personajes, la historia tan rebuscada y el combate aburrido y te centras en intentar no irte de hocico por una cordillera mientras vas cargando con cuatro garrafones. El diseño del terreno es impresionante y llegar a un lugar se siente siempre como un desafío que es más interesante y divertido que cualquier otra actividad que el juego te pida hacer. Quizá el gameplay sea repetitivo pero es atrapante, sin embargo nunca podré saber si este juego realmente es bueno o es solo el nombre de Kojima el que levanta la experiencia

    Es un juego que definitivamente no podría recomendar, es cuestión de que el gameplay o la historia te llame la atención y decidas jugarlo o no, y si lo juegas hay que aguantar para no tirarlo, y aquellos que se queden enganchados lo recordarán por siempre    … 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.
