    اذا كنت تظن أن اللعبة توصيل بكجات فانت على حق ، هي فعلاً لعبة توصيل بكجات و لا أخفيك أن في أول 10 ساعات راح يجيك ملل غير طبيعي و تندم أنك أشتريت اللعبة لكن أعطيها فرصة وراح تستمتع و تشوف نفسك تلعب بدون توقف.

    I see a lot of heater that has not played scoring badly just because of envy.
    This game is Epic !! Great! Wonderful!
    It will make you laugh, cry, empathize ...
    The music is exquisite.
    And history will not leave anyone indifferent.
    A game of 10.

    Firstly, this game is NOT for everyone. If your game collection is a blur of FIFA, COD etc then you should probably give this one a miss. This game require an attention span longer than the average deathmatch duration. Comments like "walking simulator" come from people who never bothered to get beyond the introduction and discover 'other' modes of transport, for example.

This game require an attention span longer than the average deathmatch duration. Comments like "walking simulator" come from people who never bothered to get beyond the introduction and discover 'other' modes of transport, for example.

    For those who appreciate a narrative adventure that rewards persistence, logic and ingenuity - this could be right up your street. It's a vast, hauntingly beautiful game with an immersive story and unique game mechanics that will appeal to the fastidious poet in anyone who can wade through the swamp of XBox-scented zero score review bombing, citing 'pretension' as a substituted word for 'Not a rehash of every Action/FPS trope in the book' or simply 'Not available on XBox' as so often is the case.

    This is a game for relaxing into, enjoying a narrative experience and problem-solving your way across a vast landscape. Find yourself at a cliff-edge by mistake? good thing you brought those ropes to rappel down. See a good shortcut? use your kit to fashion a route and leave it there for other players to benefit.

    It is a leap outside the norm, and the backlash towards it just a symptom of the dull-eyed conformity that keeps EA and Treyarch is business. Make your own mind up.

    Personally, I love it.

    The best game I had played since the Witcher 3. The true masterpiece was written by a genius (lol but true). For first you understand nothing, but then you get more involved and this world seems to you so real... I really love this game, playing on 5 chapter and even don't know how it will end. And I don't want to see the end...

    I have been playing Death Stranding for more than a month now, finished it and started a new game and it has given me a lot of gaming-satisfaction. As many have pointed out, the game can not possibly be for everyone but for those that like organizing Zip-Lines for a cross country fastest possible deliveries, it is :-) I give this game a ten out of ten.

Its about deep lore, mysterious characters and the challenge of the journey. How do you face the obstacles on your way? How can people help each other? What should you need to make it to the goal? If you are not focused enough, the problems that creates will be on you... Its all very impressively woven together, in a world filled with "aaah" moments. The ones referring to wierdness and unlogical reasons might be stuck in the wierd promo footage realesed before release or simply lack the simple intelligence/willpower to understand a basic scenery explained to them. Its just a damn good game. Expand

    You either finish the game and rate it a 10/10, or give it a 0 because you've struggled for couple of hours. The same story happened with the original Half-Life back in 1998, when those who haven't finished the train ride rated this game ver low.

    The ending turns everything you felt about this game upside down and the whole thing comes together in an unusual way, making you feel both sad and joyful.
    Gameplay-wise it's a hell of an emotional ride too. There were sequences when I hated the game and totally loved it, I felt full emotional spectre during this 40-hour campaign, crying at the end of it, and I simply cannot put anything else apart from 10, because this game soaked me wet and had me laughing my ass off, I felt anxious during BT sequences and I was stricken by these long beautiful cutscenes.
    The online is amazing too, because you will never be haunter by griefers and everyone online is participating in making this open world better, even though it's just a game. I truly believe that this game will make you better as a person afterwards, if you will understand the need of it of course.

    Probably My favorite Kojima game since MGS2 or ZOE2. There is nothing quite like it.

    It's like if the games "Journey" and Metal Gear Solid had a baby with more niche games like Eurotruck simulator and Lost in Blue.

    It gets better the further you get in, you really feel like you are working together to create a connected world. There are more ways to deliver a package than most AAA games have for choice in their entirety.

    To give you an idea, my first full delivery I accidentally fell into a river dropping all my packages. I desperately swamp t shore against the stream, bolted down the river and tossed a ladder down to block the packages so I could regrab them.. As I do I get attacked by terrorist bandits and we fight it out on the ladder, I knock one in the face with a case sending him into the water and tackle the next.

    Now I drive around in a truck that I keep loaded with all sorts of traversal options for every delivery task and even have a network of mechs and roads.

    Amazing game., will shake hands of UPS driver.

I assure you this is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced in the best way imaginable. These people never even bought the game. Use your heads before assuming that any of them have ever even seen the start screen. I’m 55 hours in and it just keeps getting better. As much of that time has been spent cleaning up trophies as opposed to polishing off the story. I have at minimum 100 hours left and each time I think the game is done surprising me with technological upgrades to better aid my journeys, I’m surprised all over again. You get a trike, a truck and a hover cargo craft you can ride on as early as episode 3. You get highways to ride clear across the central US from end to end. You get several varieties of grenades, non-lethal guns, various decoys and all the makings of artistic excellence from a man amidst a very strong departure from the slave owners who once drove him into the ground. Kojima made a game where we help one another. The social strand system is INVALUABLE and has made the game everything it is. The maps are also sprawling, daunting and gorgeously designed to the point of putting everything to utter shame with far less by way of assets.

И финал, тут у меня нет слов это целый фильм, финал это целый фильм таких катсцен ещё не было , таких эмоций тоже давно. Все это приправлено постоянным ощущением на протяжении игры что рядом непонятный враг и нереально сильным общим сюжетным посылом.

Like Kojima said,not many ppl gonna like it,but those who do will love it. I totally understand what he was trying to create and the more you progress the more stuff you get that will ease your journeys. Yes,the game has many problems,like OK physics and poor combat system,but the game didnt bored me at all because each time when i was about to get bored the game would just throw a new mechanic into my face and i would think how can i use it and where to test it. Elements of multiplayer,if you can even call it a multiplayer, are very good.
    A game that is different from anything we know so far,that's why people don't like it i guess.
    And no,a walking simulator becomes interesting with time when you get different difficulties on your way.

    DISCLAIMER: I am a big fan of Kojima's games (except for MGS5), but not so much a fan of the man's business practices.I enjoy his meta narrative-focused stories and Nolan-esque exposition dumps.In this case, bias did not dictate my enjoyment of Death Stranding.

    Firstly, I don't believe this game really needs an arbitrary score. The experience is not designed to entertain in the conventional sense, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the task of micro-managing cargo and trudging endlessly across unwelcoming terrain. Yes, there is a lot of walking, but most game genres can be distilled down to very basic fundamentals. "It's a walking simulator" could be the banalest statement that's been thrown at a title since people walked out of The Revenant stating "it was just Leo flopping about in the snow for two hours".

    Just chill with it and enjoy the journey. I gave it a 10 because it is an unforgettable experience that pushes the envelope of Sci-Fi much in the way Blade Runner and Metropolis did. If you have ever seen and liked a Tarkovsky film, this is the closest videogames have to that experience.

    Without spoiling, Death Stranding is Kojima's most self-contained and easily explainable story yet. Stick with it to the end and you will not be disappointed. The delivery and performance of the cast is the best you will see this console generation, easily besting Detroit: Become Human. The themes are heavy-handed in a way only Kojima could deliver without being totally cringe-worthy.

    If you're on the fence and want to try something different that will pay off over the long haul, I absolutely recommend this game. They'll be talking about it for years to come.

    One of my favourite gameplay experiences ever. It is unlike anything i've played before. It is however probably closer to euro truck simulator 2 than say metal gear solid. And i'm glad. Yes you are delivering from A to B. But the journeys in between go from zen-like to action with human enemies to stranger things kinda horror with the BT's then back to relaxing journey all in one mission.One of my favourite gameplay experiences ever.

Great sci fi story, settings, graphics are the best i've seen, gameplay loop gets you hooked.
    Just dont buy if you are expecting, yet another by-the-numbers corporate AAA title. It's not that genre. Anyone that enjoyed no mans sky though for example, will love death stranding.

    en cuestión al gameplay me parece que presenta una mecánica agradable y que cumple su objetivo haciendo dentro de lo que cabe que no sea tan tedioso realizar una gran cantidad de envíos ya que reta al jugador a hacerlo cada vez mejor y ayudar a los demás jugadores a facilitar su recorrido por la historia.

    Gráficos, excelentes, dignos de un juego enfocado en historia y muy detallado en cuestión a texturas y capacidad gráfica.

    la transision entre Gameplay y cinemáticas no es notoria lo cual facilita la inmersión en la historia y el detalle de los múltiples idiomas le da un plus al juego, BB y los personajes te hacen sentir que tu eres quien vive dicha historia y el entretenimiento que ofrecer es algo distinto a los demás, mas que diversión lo que otorga esta experiencia es satisfacción.

    Great game by Kojima. Everything is good in this game. Perfect and enjoyable gameplay, which doesn't bother. Perfect story write. Pretty good online system.

    The game is pretty simple. I played on the hardest difficulty and didn't notice any difficulties, died only 2 times, and all the stuff I have delivered always was in perfect condition. It's hard to deliver cargo in bad condition.

The emptiness of Death Stranding's world is striking and wonderful, the sense of exploration and atmospheric tension here is unmatched, unlike anything I've experienced, there's also the audio design, the interactive sound effects, the balancing mechanics, the route plotting, plenty of merits to be discussed here. You see, the ultimate goal of a video game is to give you the opportunity to escape the mundane world, Death Stranding does not only do that, it goes far and beyond in ways I could have never imagined.

    You either GET IT or you just DON"T GET IT...period. For me, this game was an extremely introspective and philosophical experience that made me question the meaning of existence and human interaction. The narrative TRULY made my head swirl, philosophizing and theorizing the meaning of it all.

    The purpose of Death Stranding was NEVER an exciting and addicting traditional "gameplay" experience. In fact, Hideo Kojima was purposely poking fun at gaming/social media culture and satirizing with social commentary at every turn. It cracks me up to read all the comments about Death Stranding boiling down to a glorified FedEx simulator...those people just DON'T GET IT. Hate to say it, but I just don't think the majority of people playing video games in this day and age have the attention span and mental capacity to truly appreciate an experience like this. Truly unique, and memorable.

This game is meant to engage and immerse you the way you would do with a timeless film or novel.

    The world building is insanely cool and strange, I've never seen anything like it. The environmental design is fascinating, it manages to feel like familiar American landscapes and completely alien terrain at the same time. The dialogue is a little cheesy sometimes, but easily overlooked. There is mindless entertainment (Call of Duty) , and then there's entertainment infused with serious art, and this falls into the latter category.

    Highly recommend to anyone who would enjoy a very unique and artful experience. Wouldn't recommend to teenagers who play games to overstimulate themselves with video game crack and scream at each other while point-and-click shooting and dying a million times a match.

    Easily one of the best games I've ever played. I purchased it late, on a 50% discount discouraged by poor user reviews. A shame that a poor reception and missunderstanding of this game will have a huge negative impact on the whole game industry. Turns out that if game is not dumb, cliche, action packed / scripted crap, people won't like it.

    Delivering packages is in fact the main task of this game, but japanese developers have different understanding of walking in video games. Mario, Zelda BOTW, and now Death Stranding shows how much work they put in the motoric of movement - activity you do constantly in video games. Because of that, while in other games - walking is just a means to an end, in death stranding walking is the gamplay itself. It's really complex, thought through and polished. It forces you to re-evaluate what's important in a video game. While in other games traveling is just a boring activity to kill another mosner / check off another quest of the list / ge the carrot at the end of the stick - in DS traveling is the biggest joy by itself. While in other games I'm always annoyed when I have to travel far, in DS I'm glad to do so.

    A lot have been said about the story, world, graphics and characters, but gameplay is the best part of the game in my opinion. Since delivery is evaluated with grades, delivering a package in a perfect shape despite of the difficulties bring the same kind of satisfaction as clearing mission clean in a stealth game. DS is forcing you to make decisions all the time - what path to take? What equipment to take with you? Run through scavanger territory to save time, or take a long route trying to avoid them? How to get down the hill and not fall on your face droping cargo. Every step you take is a decission in this game and that's why its never boring. I even like the need to take break in private room, cutscenes of geting out of shelters etc - its a nice break that makes experience way more immersive.

    Saying this, I wish game was more difficult, especially mules are easy after getting bolla gun. I wish trips were longer instead of spaming tons of delivery side quest between near shelters. Online aspect didn't convince me either so I turned it off - didn't see point building bridges, taking ropes / ladders when other players already spammed map with all of that making a lot of equipment useless. Yet I think this game is a masterpiece and it hurts me to see how bad its reception is. I recommend you to try it yourself. and btw. I'm not Kojima fan. Actually it pisses me off how this guy is spaming his name everywhere, taking credit for everything while game is a creative effort of many people.

    Igra mi je top, grafika je wow kako cutscene tako i gameplay i prelaz sa jednog na drugo je nevjerovatan samo se pocne bez loadanja. Prica je luda skroz iako pola stvari jos ne kontam.

     

    Ima puno cutscena bar ovo do sada ali mi ni malo ne smetaju jer je zanimljivo i svaki put naucim nesto vezano za samo igru i pricu.

     

    Pisao bih malo detaljnije ali necu da spoilam. Uglavnom sam gameplay mi je fanstastican, sporije je nego smo navikli u drugim igrama ali zato totalni odmor i uzivancije pri cemu se mora sve dobro planirati.

     

    Bas sam se uzivio par puta kada sam isao krajolikom, natrpan a odjednom se kamera udalji te pocne muzika odlicja za tu atmosferu pa bas da neki poseban ugodjaj atmosferi gdje se covjek malo moze iskljuciti od svakodnevnih desavanja i problema.

     

    Nisam jos daleko napredovao jer vidim da tek otkljucavam neke ključne elemente igre i jos nisam dosta toga vidio od samih mehanika. Ono sto sam imao priliku malo vidjeti je to suradjivanje i dijelenje sa drugim igracima i to me bas odusevilo. Bas su uspjeli napraviti da se osjeca tolika povezanost sa tim drugim osobama koje su tu prolazile i ostavili bilo sta i ova mehanika mi se bas svidja.

     

    Samo hodanje mi nije nikako naporno i tako su i taj dio igre dobro uradili da je merak i da se ima osjecai da se bas nesto postiglo kada se prodje neka prepreka ili stigne na odrediste. Mora se na puno stvari paziti kako bi sve islo kako treba a igra i sam svijet su toliko imerzivni na zaboravis lahko na stvari oko sebe.

     

    Eto to je to onako nabrzaka i ukratko pisano s mobitela. Kada utonem jos vise u samu igru i budem na racunaru pisat cu malo detaljnije.

     

    Igra je takva da jedva cekam ponovo da pocnem igrati i cim sam se probudio bila mi je na pameti, a to mi se nije dugo desilo.

     

    P.S. iznenadjen sam sa svojim ps4 pro, dok je na drugim igrama bio nenormalno glasan, u DS tokom gameplay-a se i ne cuje, upali se tokom cut scena i to opet ne bas na maksimum a i kad se zaleti opet uspori. Dobro optimizovana igra vjerovatno.

Overall when you see the whole game through I was satisfied and believe that this is one or the best of the year. Even with some of the tedious gameplay I still foind myself filled with enjoyment. Also the acting especially mads mikkelsen is beautiful. Expand

    This is not a WALKING SIM! Yes you have to deliver packages but how you get there the route you take and tools used to do so. As with all Kojima games tools are were it’s at. From ladders you can chain together for bridges or high cliffs to anchors and rope to repel. Build a portable P.O. Box. Leave gear for other players help each other make deliveries.

As with all Kojima games tools are were it’s at. From ladders you can chain together for bridges or high cliffs to anchors and rope to repel. Build a portable P.O. Box. Leave gear for other players help each other make deliveries. There soooo much more then “walking sim”. Those reviews that say that HAVE NOT ACTUALLY PLAYED or either played for minutes. How are you gonna carry all those packages, on your back arms maybe on legs. Then you have to balance your actions as you climb and traverse the terrain. Leave social signs for others like there signs. Look the mutts and bolts of DS are insane. If your looking for a new experience in gameplay then this is for you. Expand

    I didnt even like the Metal Gear games. But i am SO HAPPY that i gave death stranding a try. One of the best experiences ive had the pleasue to play. The highlight is definately its overwhelmingly interesting world! Biggest downside is the gameplay loop might not work for some players with zero patience.

    No le pongo esta nota por ser fan de Kojima, que no lo soy pero es que de verdad creo que el juego se la merece, la historia es impresionante, los graficos son espectaculares, los personajes son buenísimos y el gameplay loop aunque (lo que dicen es totalmente cierto) no es para todos a muchos de nosotros nos parece absolutamente divertido he inmersivo.

Death Stranding ha sufrido el hype de hideo Kojima tanto para bien como para mal gente que alaba el juego simplemente por ser de Kojima y gente que lo odia por no seguir la norma y se ven incapaces de que les guste por este mismo hecho.

    Шедевральная игра. Кодзима в очередной раз доказал, что не просто так зовётся гением. Атмосфера, музыка, идеально подходящий медетативный геймплей. Ведьмак от мира дальнобойщиков. 12/10

    A new masterpiece from Kojima-san. I really love how beautiful the world is, the music, actors. The gameplay is a lot of fun imo and enjoyable. The story is excellent.

    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.
