    A slow paced epic! I loved this game from begging to middle to end, although the first hours are pretty slow, whenever it picks up it's pace it gets incredibly interesting and addicting. And the story... Oh God did I cried.

    Outstanding masterpiece. Don’t listen to haters, that don’t even play the game. It’s 40-60 hours long, but they already screams that it’s sucks in first 12 hours after release. Just play it.

    This would be such a good game, if Kojima would care about gameplay just as much as about story telling.

    Combat: - enemies and bosses are way to easy and uninteresting to fight - there is not much weapon variety (bola gun, grenades, your fists), you cant even use the electric spears of the enemies, which would have been a lot of fun. - attacking enemies while wearing your payload    This would be such a good game, if Kojima would care about gameplay just as much as about story telling.

    Combat:

    - enemies and bosses are way to easy and uninteresting to fight
    - there is not much weapon variety (bola gun, grenades, your fists), you cant even use the electric spears of the enemies, which would have been a lot of fun.
    - attacking enemies while wearing your payload feels extremely clunky and unfun to perform
    - not much enemy variety either
    - you cant kill human enemies, because of them turning into void outs, so you only can stun them for a few seconds

    Traversing the environment:

    - walking around with a giant 120 kg, 3 meter high jenga tower on your back, while stumbling over rocks without falling, or climbing up ropes with the strength of your bare hands, while wearing the entire jenga tower on your back,looks just so immersion breaking. As if Kojima never heard of the terminology: center of mass. Couldn't they have restricted the backpack height just a little and gave him in exchange a few more drones which carry part of his payload and follow him around instead ? So that his movement while wearing the payload does not look as ridiculous?

    Story:

    -The story is overall well done and it shows that Kojima does understand cinematography very well, but does his stories always have to be so esoteric and melodramatic ? I could have done easily without the paranormal ghost story in exchange for a alternate dimension colliding with our world sci fi approach. Let the deads rise up and void out, but at least try to give a halfway believable explanation for all of that, instead of resolving to pure esoteric giberish. After him explaining the reasoning of why the BBs (bridge babies) can see the BTs he totally lost me. That was the single most stupid thing i ever heard. Someone really needs to buy Kojima a few weeks of physic lecture on some university or college,so that he gets his facts straight and doesn't always have to resolve to pure esoteric nonsense in his story lines.

    Summary:

    This game is a graphical milestone. The gameplay idea of having to constantly balance your payload on your back with the shoulder buttons, orelse risking a fall and potentially payload lost or damage is a very interesting and unique concept, but traversing the environment lacks a bit of variety and can get monotone very quickly and it certainly does not carry over 50+ hours. Adding a few additional gameplay elements and making the combat a little bit more challenging and engaging wouldn't have hurt the game either. If you love builder and hiking games then you are good, otherwise you maybe should stay away or test it at a friends house before buying.    … Expand

    Unrestricted abberance of an egotistical mind hidden behind dazing spectacles, treating the player not as an active agent of the world but as a mindless passenger, to the point where one sometimes wonders whether he is Sam or the naked baby he is hauling, monotonous gameplay linked together with "artistic" cutscenes hither and thither, worthy only of people with low self-respect and extreme masochism. If the Strand genre symbolizes gold-plated garbage bins sewed together with haughty narratives, this game may be the best one yet.    … Expand

At first, I was bewildered that so many people called it "art" but after playing through 15 minutes, I could see why they think that. Is it? It really depends on you.

    Did you like Red Dead Redemption 2? Detroit Become Human? Alien Isolation? Alan Wake? If so, then you'll love Death Stranding. The only downside is the gameplay. It's a lot more simplistic but it's not entirely the Amazon Prime delivery game most people make it out to be. There's plenty of stealth, exploration, navigation, combat, and character customization to keep you entertained. It's not just a walking simulator, it's much more then that. Yes there are guns and bikes you can use to speed the process up but the game has an equal amounts of up's and down's to set a smoother pace. Most importantly, it's entertaining from start to finish.

    I should also note that there are a LOT of cutscenes so if you have ADHD, this might not be the game for you. This is a game for the patient gamers that I also believe the average gamer will enjoy just as long as they give it an honest chance. So sit down, enjoy the ride and try not to worry so much about the lack of RPG mechanics the game could have. Worry about the story and atmosphere that will quite possibly never be forgotten.    … Expand

    Here's my honest review of the game. For those of you who are wondering what type of game this is, it's basically Euro Truck Simulator without the truck, without the roads and without anything. You just walk from point A to Point B delivering packages for 40hrs. Ain't worth the 60$ pric. You can get the same vibe just by adding character models to a terrain map in unreal engine.

    An incredible experience. A pondersome journey that is masterfully crafted to evoke emotions and meditation. Certainly not an experience that many people will like. If you're the type that has patience and an appreciation for the kind of deep weirdness that is Hideo's calling card then you may just fall in love with this bizzare experience... as I have.

    I bought the ultimate version to play.... nothing! Boring and overrated. The media create a ultimate hype for “God Kojima”.
    Why media needs to carry Sony. Is Sony paying for reviews? Shame

    Incredible story, very immersive and beautiful soundtrack. I don't know why have so many negative reviews but the game is amazing and without bugs. I also loved the simple gameplay and the characters. Perfect work Kojima

    Game runs very smoothly. Haven't had one bug or game crash. I enjoy the soundtrack very well done. The vibe and scenery is so eerie it fits the scifi vibe very well. The game system pics up very quickly after the first initial scenes. The acting is just spot on with all the key roles. I cant wait to finish.

    I Thoroughly enjoyed this game.it is relaxing but at times has enough tense moments that it draws you in with the storyline.

    This game was really boring to play, I had to stop playing it after spending 8 hours on it. I really don't understand what's fun about delivering 'stuff'.

    Alot of the reviews don't have a clue what they are playing(IGN). For a game some described as frustrating, I haven't died or struggled like they described. The game feels like No Man Sky's(post next update) and sorta breath of the wild but with unique immersive story. The game XP is "likes" in the game which if you put something down and it helps others they can like it. Mechanics likeAlot of the reviews don't have a clue what they are playing(IGN).

    Seré breve.
    Es mi primera Review en esta plataforma, decidí hacerla porque dar una opinión en redes sociales o fotos, actualmente se considera "tóxico".
    Después de una sesión "gracias" a un colega que lo reservó, ambos coincidimos respecto a las impresiones que nos llevamos: Mecánicas repetitivas y sosas hasta el cansancio. Un mundo vacío, carente de interés, tan solo lleno de pasto y    Seré breve.

    Después de una sesión "gracias" a un colega que lo reservó, ambos coincidimos respecto a las impresiones que nos llevamos:

    Mecánicas repetitivas y sosas hasta el cansancio.
    Un mundo vacío, carente de interés, tan solo lleno de pasto y rocas.
    Un sistema de batalla, lento, flojo y consideramos que posiblemente un paso atrás respecto a MGV.
    Ya estamos acostumbrados a las cinemáticas exageradas dentro de los productos de Kojima, pero que traten de colarnos algo tan largo y aburrido (después de al menos 25 minutos de una secuencia, estábamos revisando el celular mientras tomábamos cerveza)... Eso ya dice mucho.
    Y es que por dónde le mire, no encuentro puntos fuertes y memorables, la selección músical, exceptuando un par de piezas es completamente olvidable.
    Ajeno a la falta de elementos en el entorno, gracias al motor gráfico se consiguen muchos paisajes preciosos, no hay duda en ello.

    Lo recomendaría? No! En su momento recomendé desde títulos como BioShock, Valiant Hearts the Great War, Hellblade, Journey, Ori (entre muchos títulos y géneros), sería un pecado recomendar un intento de película interactiva que nunca debió ser un juego    … Expand

    It's very hard to suggest anyone to buy Death Stranding as so many great, fun games are available for purchase at the moment.

There isn't much to talk about gameplay as the whole game is dependent on getting from one place to another on foot and delivering crates. The cutscenes should've been cut short and to the point but instead they're long movie style cutscenes and don't make much sense. I'll be playing more but only to see if things somehow get better. Definitely not worth $60.… Expand

    The most immersive game I have played since red dead 2. As a huge fan of survival simulation games the gameplay here was everything I could want it to be. People say I really like “dad games” maybe this is another one of those? The story kept me at the edge of my seat also. If you enjoy weighty games and more survival based games I can’t recommend enough.

    I'm 15 hours in and I can't get enough of this game. It's not for everyone - it's different, and it takes its sweet time. What you'll find here though is a game that's at times deeply calming and meditative, at other times horrifying and adrenaline pumping, but is at all times a deeply touching statement on the community humans can create when they're forced to come together.

    I find myself addicted to the process of delivering packages - every moment requires focus, as the terrain itself is your adversary. That deep requirement of attention allows me to forget, for once, much of the other stress on my mind, whereas traveling in other games is often meaningless and completely uninvolved.

    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.
