    Estou com a edição steelbook comprada e aguardando receber pra jogar, mas estou dando este voto só pra anular alguma nota zero que os revoltados que tem X-bost@ estão dando por despeito. Por mais que o jogo possa não ser um 10 é simplesmente impossivel que seja um zero.

    Kojima really managed to capture the feeling of vastness and exploration in Deathstranding. The game also has many online co op features that made it a very engaging game as you feel you are playing with many other players. It feels like a new approach to gaming I can understand that it isn't for everyone.

    Nice story. Should’ve been a movie. It’s a video game that’s missing the game part. You know, the most important part?

    I find this game fascinating. It's a weird mix of metal gear stealth and story style with a dark souls online social game. It's the best online experience I've ever had in a game cause it's all helpful and encouraging. You can't get in somebody's way, just help. It's so refreshing.

That being said, you need to travel long distances to ''deliver''. So a vehicle would have been nice to shorten the ''real-time'' deliveries. Second, I wanted to see some combat, guns, weaponry at the beginning of the game to give it a ''punch''. I had very high expectations for the game and was a little disappointed to find out it was a delivery game. I give the game a 6 because of the gameplay not being ''action styled''. I know it is a new style of game, but a little more action would have been great for me.… Expand

The world exploration is my favorite part of the game. I love games that are this open and I can go anywhere I want.

    Sam controls a little sluggish but that’s because he is always Carrying something. He’s not going to move very fast when he has 100 kg on his back so it all makes sense that he controls slow and is sluggish. Sure it might take a little thought and skill too actually avoid the BT’s Until later when you can fight them. Which makes it fun to try to see her to avoid them by holding your breath when you get close to them or just avoiding them all together.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Uno de los juegos más geniales y originales de la actual generación. Death Stranding es un juego asombroso en todos los apartados. Kojima nos ha regalado un festín audiovisual con un nivel altísimo en el uso de los recursos narrativos, expresivos y sonoros.

    Gráfica y técnicamente sobresaliente, con una calidad altísima en las animaciones, las físicas son deliciosas y con unos FPS siempre constantes. En sonido, sencillamente, es el mejor de la generación.

    La jugabilidad, igualmente, de sobresaliente, pues le ofrece al jugador siempre lo necesario para que vaya progresando satisfactoriamente, poco a poco, en la historia, y así, sobreponerse a los peligros según al ingenio y la habilidad de cada uno.

    La jugabilidad está tan pulida que subir una montaña durante una hora es una gozada para quién sabe apreciar el tipo de juego al que está jugando. Por lo que si su propuesta te llega te divertirá muchísimo y no podrás soltar el mando.

    La clave: Kojima ha cogido los elementos y las mecánicas de las aventuras en mundo abierto que más polémica suscitan en los jugadores, ha procesado ese material en su mente creadora y ha desarrollado junto a su equipo un juego único y excepcional que será recordado.    … Expand

And i allways wanted to know the name of the game but never found out until i was older and watched it on youtube and found out that there was giant guys in the game to fight against. This game reminds me a bit of that feeling. Even if it is a little bit more than wandering around as my first experience with shadow of the colossus, the game feels incredible and nice to play. The universe is so beliveble that you feel yourself inside the game and see yourself spending hours playing it. People where comparing this game with Horizon Zero Dawn. And saying that HZD is way better. But i played both and i can say i loved both of them as well. If you think the game is bad. Just wait a little bit for when it becomes cheaper and buy it to try it out. Or play it with a friend that has the game. Just try it. If you don't like it. Sure, i'm ok with it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. C'è qualcosa di scomodo con questo gioco e cioè che mette il videogiocatore in una situazione di abbandono misto ad angoscia: l'idea é bella e si vede che ci hanno lavorato bene... Ma l'intera storia che é bellissima si regge su fondamenta un po traballanti poiché vieni abbandonato a te stesso fin da subito... Dopo qualche ora di gioco ti sale l'angoscia perché devi pensare a diverse cose contemporaneamente (ho già un lavoro in cui devo pensare a diverse cose contemporaneamente, perché anche un gioco?).. la pioggia che rovina i carichi é snervante sinceramente... Capisco il voler mantenere una soglia di mistero ma così é quasi troppo... Cioè mi spiego meglio: quando un gioco ti abbandona va anche bene, non é Spyro e va bene... Ma se unisci un horror game (diciamo così seppure soft rientra comunque nei videogame ansiogeni) ad un open world per poi abbandonarmi a me viene l'ansia, voglio dire ho finito Resident evil 7 con il vr che ansia spostati, però con Death Stranding mi sento quasi a disagio... Le meccaniche a tratti macchinose, praticamente vai bene solo a piedi e dopo un po' ti rendi conto che a piedi non ci vuoi più andare perché hai la moto che per altro si guida poco meglio di quella di days gone che praticamente faceva cagare... ma andrebbe anche bene la guidabilità, se non fosse che si incaglia ovunque e se da un lato mi metti un paesaggio dettagliato e pieno dall'altro non puoi farmi venire l'ansia perché la moto non ci passa... Insomma ok "caricarti" di responsabilità perché "non sei un semplice fattorino" ma devo essere sincero, amo kojima e ho amato MGS... Ma Death Stranding devo ancora farmelo piacere del tutto... Non hai armi (parlo di cazzo di proiettili) se non delle improbabili granate che devi lanciare x forza molto vicino al nemico, anche se alcuni nemici non ti vedono e ok... Ma per tutti gli altri che ti lanciano delle lance elettriche tu non hai altro che i tuoi cazzo di pugni e qualche granata di merda (letteralmente) il tutto senza dimenticare che sei con la schiena carica, ti muovi lento e magari quel bambino sta pure piangendo quindi é difficile evitare di farsi sgamare sia dai nemici vivi che da quelli morti... VOGLIO UNA CAZZO DI ARMA, non voleva fare uno shooter? Che poi in ogni caso non lo sarebbe stato, ma almeno dammi qualcosa figa con cui potermi difendere, scappi ti nascondi e consegni dei gran pacchi... Almeno dopo 3 giorni di gioco la situazione é la medesima... Ma con qualche patch potrebbe sicuramente migliorare subito.. vi ricordate no man's sky? Death stranding ha sicuramente un comparto tecnico e artistico molto migliore rispetto a no man's sky, due giochi differenti... Ma il lancio é più o meno simile... non proprio deludente ma mi aspettavo un giocone con i coglioni e invece questo gioco i coglioni te li fa un po' cadere... Bellissimo ma ripeto: gioco a videogame tattici da sempre, mai stato un casual gamer da fifa o NFS, ma se devo pensare ad accendere la console per svagarmi qualche ora rilassandomi Death Stranding mi carica di responsabilità senza darmi armi o modi differenti di affrontare la storia se non cambiare proprio percorso nella speranza che la moto ci possa arrivare... Aggiungo anche che é super scryptato... Non lo so... Non voglio bollarlo perché sono sicuro che qualche patch gustosa potrebbe anche arrivare... Ma se devo svagarmi qualche ora non posso farmi mettere ansia da un gioco, va bene un po'... P.s.: comunque se ci fosse la possibilità di usare qualche proiettile (manco una cazzo di pistola) non avrei tutto questo bisogno di lamentarmi...… Expand

This is a game with great scope, inventive gameplay and intuitive control. Amazingly fun and gets better throughout your play through as you become accustomed to the interesting world and its compelling story and characters.

    There are mechanics that you will recognise from the outset and the new mechanics which are introduced are fresh and inventive. These add weight and depth to your play-through and make the usually simple task of walking into something which requires a level of thought and planning.

    Whilst traversing the expansive world (which you will be doing a lot) you will encounter a variety of environments and with them - challenges. Coming across time-fall, BT’s and Mules keep the gameplay fresh and there are a number of ways to tackle these.

    In short, I think the game is inventive, compelling and most of all, beautiful. The world that Kojima Productions have created should be held to high acclaim and used as a bar for other developers. I urge people to give this game a chance through the opening couple of hours to around chapter 3 and allow yourselves to get used to the systems. Loving it!    … Expand

    Death Stranding is neither a 10 nor a 0 it is surely something in between for the better or worse depending on how open minded you are and which game style you prefer. Actually I did not want to buy it but still did and wanted to check it out myself after all those reviews appeared that actually did not help anyone. So here are my thoughts on the game so far:

Actually I did not want to buy it but still did and wanted to check it out myself after all those reviews appeared that actually did not help anyone. So here are my thoughts on the game so far:

    The atmosphere is outstanding in this game. I like the game visuals a lot and also the sound is very 3D-esque creating a dense feeling. The graphics are very well done although there is not much happening in Death Stranding so this is something where the DEVs could put more emphasis on the world itself. Regarding that detail I think the world could ve used a little bit more variety, still the presentation is pretty.

    The movement in general is okay. I dont think the idea of movement balancing is something that benefits the game much, actually it is partially clawing the pad too much or just holding balance+climb. I think this could ve been done better. Also the running, stopping and turning around is kind of sluggish in comparison to other games, same goes to the pretty awkward driving. It gets better later in the game.

    The general storyline isnt too bad and although the game itself is very slow in pace I dont feel like I m getting where stuff is going at. There have been many words created within the world which makes it sometimes hard to follow. Also there are definitely some obvious plotholes and strange dialogues. Something that should ve done more smoothly is the beginning of the game. You will basically have to invest around 4hrs up until you reach the point where the game opens up for the first time. Pretty harsh in my opinion also the beginning is stacked with sequences etc. I didnt appreciate that part much as it felt more like a movie then actually a game and probably lost many players already at that stage. At around 10-20hrs of playtime you will get to a point with more variety that starts to feel more like a game and lets you more space to do stuff. This is where Death Stranding starts to shine. Depending on your pace and how many side quests you do it ll take quite a while and I can only suggest to endure a bit.

    For the gameplay itself the game is okay. Normal enemy encounters are somewhat on a flat line, BT and boss encounters are intense in contrary. The dense sneaking atmosphere holds up big time. It is not a shooter or (in my opinion) even an action game and this is something you feel in combat situations because it does not feel well smooth all the time to me. The game can be squeezed down to delivering stuff and connecting cities and/or emotions with some stealthing, there is basically not much beyond that. There is no real character development besides unlocking some items and crafting. Strangely enough the game still feels very rewarding. Delivering stuff, make the world "whole" again, use stuff that other players contributed and contribute yourself. If anything deserves praise than it is what Kojima created here and I respect him for that. He truely connected people in this game and besides all the post-apocalyptic vibes it feels soothening.

    After all Death Stranding seems too over ambitious to me. It has outstanding graphics and the interconnectivity between players that are actually not present is something very comforting and rewarding. Overall the game feels polished but it mixes too much stuff up and got me lost sometimes. The beginning is very slow and too misleading at times also very generic. You can definetely enjoy this game if you really give it a chance and enjoy slower paced games. Also be open to drop quite some hours into Death Stranding or you will not be able to see much progress in the time you spent.

    If you are up for something new, give it a try. I do not suggest this game to be bought at full price nor would I suggest it for casual players with not much time to invest or players that are driven by action or faster paced oriented games.    … Expand

    Amazing, a masterpiece by Kojima. The criticisms leveled against it are mostly made by people who are watching a stream, or just contrarians. You'd have to be a brainlet to not be able to enjoy this game.

    "Walking Simulator" - it sure is, and it does it fantastically with an amazing array of equipment, exo skeletons and vehicles to help you navigate the terrain. "FedEx Simulator" -    Amazing, a masterpiece by Kojima. The criticisms leveled against it are mostly made by people who are watching a stream, or just contrarians. You'd have to be a brainlet to not be able to enjoy this game.

    "Walking Simulator" - it sure is, and it does it fantastically with an amazing array of equipment, exo skeletons and vehicles to help you navigate the terrain.

    "FedEx Simulator" - absolutely. Nearly every game is this - go here, do that, come back. Sometimes they disguise it (Go kill dragon and bring back bones). Instead, Kojima doubles down on it and it works, mainly because of the multiplayer connectivity which thankfully does not require PS+. I needed to upgrade a road, and another player had left a huge stash of metals in a post box, almost seemingly for this very occasion.

    People think the game is pretentious, but it's very transparent - the gameplay never pretends to be deeper than it is. It contains the familiar Hideo stealth sections which are fairly tense and some pretty simple combat, but the main enemy here is the environment and discovering how to navigate it is very enjoyable. The game progresses and unlocks gear at a nice rate so when you are thinking "oh man, I gotta walk here" suddenly you get vehicles, or a speed exo skeleton or zip lines, or after you spend ages trying to navigate a difficult area to make a delivery, you connect the region up to the Chiral network and other players buildings appear, giving you easy access over bridges and other structures.

    I would wager that people criticising this fall into one of three categories
    i) Watched a stream
    ii) ****
    iii) Didn't play past chapter 2.

    concerning the last point, chapter 2 is not boring, but Mama implies that you should finish everything before moving on. Ignore her. You can come back at any time. All she means is that anything you are carrying will be put in storage in a storage locker in the West Coast. Once you get to chapter 3 the game opens up immensely. Chapter 2 is still a tutorial.

    Once again, amazing game, will go down in history as extremely divisive but only brainlets who need constant stimulus will hate this. For everyone else, enjoy a relaxing game.    … Expand

    Death Stranding, where do i begin. Ive never played a Hideo Kojima game, hell I didn't even know who he was before i played this. Id seen the reviews, the good and the bad. I went in as a completely impartial player. Im no "fanboy" and im definitely not going into this game looking to hate it like some people have seemed to do.

    I knew what i was getting into when I bought this game and anyone who says they dont like the core gameplay is missing the point. This game isnt supposed to be a quick endorphin rush thrill experience that many games are offering these days (battle royales and arena pvp). Death stranding offers an experience ive never had before in a video game. Ive sometimes found myself frustrated but ive also found myself in awe of the journey. This game can only be enjoyed by people who immerse themselves into this world and story.
    The story by the way, is by far the strongest element of this experience. Its the foundation that binds it all together. The story truly is like nothing ive experienced before. My only corrolation i can make is to the beautifully complex world of "Annihilation" and the jaw dropping visuals from "Bloodborne" blended together.
    Playing this game is much like taking a long hike. Its a lot of effort with periodic rewards along the way, it can be difficult at times and even make you think about turning back but if you push through, and enjoy the journey for what it is, the rewards at the end of it will make the pain worth it.
    If you have time, if you love a good story but want to work for it, this game is for you.

    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.
