    Games that focus on people's connection with emotional storytelling and play experience that are not found in other games. If you want to challenge a new genre, I recommend you but if you expect simple action game do not buy this game.

    I loved every menial task in Red Dead Redemption 2, cooking, hunting, shopping whatever, the slow paced moments really helped me absorb the feel of the game and get lost in the world.
    It’s the same for this game. Death Stranding isn’t supposed to be Destiny, a mindless shooter. It’s a thoughtful experience that you get out of what you put in, plain and simple.

    My advice is don't read any reviews. Go on YouTube see the gameplay, if you like what you see buy it. If not then don't. Personally I believe everything new is worth a chance and this is a totally new approach to gaming and storytelling. It is a technical masterpiece. It is obviously the beginning of a new genre.

    The games cut scenes are like movie levels.
    Game play has a learning curve, but after unlocking more items and getting a hang of the mechanics, it opens up tons of ways to play it.
    And you would really appreciate a ladder or rope put by others when you are on a steep slope and carting a heavy cargo.
    This is the type of game i was looking for!

    The world is bleak and depressingly empty which can detract many people as well, since the exploration isn't as rewarding as for example Legend of Zelda: BotW.
    If you're looking for deep gameplay and adrenaline driven experience, avoid by miles. The story and social features are worth it though.    … Expand

Но мне нравится это - во первых можно и не делать лишних движений если не хочется - просто идти по сюжету. Во вторых походы очень преображаются со строительством дорог, получением экзоскелета и транспорта. В третьих лично мне нравится там ходить!!! За это я убрал полбалла. И еще полбалла я убрал за то, что зоны муллов и зоны тварей имеют стационарное состояние. Было бы гораздо круче если бы на карте места их расположения появлялись стихийно и непредсказуемо. Особенно зоны дождей с тварями. Я наиграл только 15 часов +- и мне очень понравилась игра. Я полностью уверен, что пройдя её всю - поставил бы 10 баллов! И не понимаю тех, кто ставил 4 или 5. Про 0 , 1, 2 я вообще молчу. Что это? Чем можно обосновать 0 , 1 или 2 бала за такую игру? Пока за 15 часов я понял что это не шедевр, но что вообще шедевр? Это по меньшей мере отлично сделанная и добротная игра, по меньшей мере. Для меня же это глоток свежего воздуха в индустрии, помешанной на получении денег от очередных частей очередных штампованных игр. Она как минимум необычна и свежа, она интригует и внушает местами какое то мистическое, внутреннее переживание, которое трудно объяснить. 9 из 10 Хидео, после прохождения я бы поставил все 10, я уверен в этом.

    I will try to be as fair as possible.
    The polish and detail that went into this game alone warrants a few points. No one can argue that the graphics and presentation are bad because they are some of the best graphics and cinematography of this console generation. That cannot be understated.

    However when it comes to the game play, this is what happens when you let Kojima off the leash. I am not a fan of Konami, yet I think they were on to something by keeping him in check. I have played the game non stop since its release and I am waiting for the fun to start and for the cutscenes to end. Game play is king.
    In most open world games, I often enjoy inventory management and careful route planning. However this game is laughably easy, even on the hardest difficulties. The BTs propose almost zero threat, and even when you get caught, the boss fights are a joke. Dont even get me started on the Mules.

    I understand a lot of games offer a "just for the story" type of difficulty mode for reasons, but I cannot personally sit through hours and hours of this monotonous game play that requires very little thinking on my part. Maybe thats just me.
    I will say that the asynchronous multiplayer is actually a very cool idea, but its half baked in its execution. Also I dont see anyone mentioning how its only going to make the game easier? If there is a solid player base constantly maintaining their bridges and what not, it will make the game so much easier for others. I understand that is kind of the point Kojima wants to get across (a game about bringing society together) but it makes this already easy game even more of a pushover.

    I didn't want to hate the game. I gave it a fair shot. I cannot bring myself to finish the game. The writing is sub par and the constant need to over explain things is all over the place. If it werent for Kojima brand and the star studded cast, I could not see this game doing very well.

    However people and fanboys alike look for confirmation bias.

    I leave this game at a 6 because as I mentioned at the beginning of the review, the games graphics and presentation are absolutely top notch. There are also almost zero bugs and the game runs very smooth with only a few frame drops and stutters here and there. But the gameplay leaves a lot to be desired and at the end of the day, gameplay is king.

    Then again, people enjoy Euro Truck Sim and Farming simulator so to each his own I suppose. Take this review, as you should every review with a grain of salt and form your own opinion.

    IMO, this game could have been an absolute masterpiece if they had some actual gameplay. I will be lending my copy to a friend who wants to try but I will watch the rest of the story on YT    … Expand

    This game mentions the concept of Chiral and there are masked characters like Hardman and Higgs. Both serve as a metaphor for how we often differ in and out of the realm of internet, specifically social media and how we construct our persona.

People can talk harsh and condescending to each other with seemingly free of consequences, something that they might not do in real life.

    I find it ironic and hypocritical. The cultist pawns of Kojima are quick to defend whoever brave enough to voice their less favorable opinions about the game with derogatory terms like 'unintellect' or 'having a poor taste'. Did they get the holy message? Funny they do the very sin Godjima tells them not to. Also, in recent news article Kojima said that he never intended to invent a new genre of a game. He prefered people to name it their own. His statement conflicted his own he made on his twitter a few months back. He clearly said the game is going to be a Strand genre. So what gives? Is it because things didn't turn out to be like he envisioned with the mixed reviews and such?

    He also compared Death Stranding to his early work of Metal Gear in which he stated it was the first stealth game ever made which clearly it wasn't. He said the gaming folks can't appreciate Death Stranding right now because they are not ready for something new.

    Oh boy. Name one thing Stranding is not. Paperboy, Truck Sim, Flappy Birds, Soul series, Shadow of Colossus, Zelda, any recent open world titles. Not to mention the gameplay loop was bland, tedious and uninspiring. It can't decide whether it wants to be a movie or a video game, a movie about human connection/death/science-fiction/social commentary/politic/nonsensical mess, a video game about delivering package or combating hostile enemies. Sadly all of the options just do not work in this game.

    Facilmente o melhor jogo deste ano.

A ideia de reconectar o país através de algo simples como entregas é uma ideia incrível e inovadora, não me sinto jogando apenas mais um jogo mata-mata ou que eu tenha que cavalgar, dar uns tiros e fugir da polícia. Como ainda estou bem no começo, não posso opinar sobre a história, entretanto, a tensão, a exploração, ritmo dos acontecimentos, beleza dos cenários e interações com o mapa e com o próprio jogo já me fizeram vê-lo como algo melhor do que qualquer outro jogo lançado até o momento neste ano.… Expand

    Best game I’ve played in a long time. All I can say is somehow Kojima has made something so boring as walking into something interesting and addicting. Obviously that’s not all the game is though there is a great story along with all the games mechanics.

    No voy a hablar de los gráficos, ni de la historia, pues creo que no necesita presentación y creo que estaréis conmigo que te atrapará desde el principio, sino del gameplay.

    En las pocas horas que llevo de juego puedo que Death Stranding es un juego acerca del camino. Acerca de cada paso que das. Puedes pensar que quizá "no pasa nada" porque en juegos de mundo abierto lo normal es que hagas muchas cosas, muchas tareas y pegues muchos disparos, pero seamos realistas: lo normal es no dejar de darle a la x o al R2 dependiendo del vehículo, llegar a un destino, disparar, y volver a darle a la X o R2 de vuelta. Si, pueden pasar muchas cosas pero la acción del jugador, el uso del cerebro se suele reducir a esto. En Death Stranding algo que antes resultaba tan simple como cruzar un río, subir una colina o andar por piedras exige pensar. Exige ser cuidadoso. Exige estar al tanto y no poner el cerebro en piloto automático.

    Los enfrentamientos con el enemigo no los vas a resolver tampoco simplemente disparando a lo loco. Bajar de una montaña con carga hasta arriba tampoco. Elegir los encargos tampoco. Ayudar a otros jugadores se convierte en una motivación. Empezar un nuevo encargo es tener la incertidumbre de no saber qué te vas a encontrar, e ir bien equipado para hacer frente a los enemigos es menos importante que saber por donde ir.

    Pero Death Stranding también sabe sacarte de ese momento de tensión regalándote momentos mágicos, donde de repente el camino se vuelve llano, sale el sol, y empieza una música maravillosa. Una vez más, Death Stranding es acerca del camino, tanto para los momentos tensos como los momentos de paz.

    Sinceramente, le he otorgado un 10 sin terminarlo porque me veo en la obligación de equilibrar la balanza ante tanta persona que ha venido a destruir un acercamiento diferente a los videojuegos. Un visión más propia de un artista que de un hombre de negocios. Death Stranding no es para todo el mundo, pero eso no quiere decir que no sea un juego increíble: independientemente de que te guste o no tanto, Death Stranding es el recordatorio de que los videojuegos son arte, son visiones de creadores inquietos, el trabajo de personas que aman lo que hacen, y por eso, con tanta IP repetida y reciclada, DLCs y Pay to win, es algo que merece la pena aplaudir.    … Expand

And I must say this is a unique, unshakable experience. The story is like non-other, the free exploration with some of the best graphics you’ll ever see in a video game is unforgettable, it is truly creative. But...it has got it’s flaws with slow paced segments, it gets repetitive going back and forth and there is little to no action besides little mule camps which can just get overrun with mules and get repetitive. There is also these BT segments, which are the shadow figures which you’ll encounter early in the game, the goal is to sneak past them, I like this a lot, it gives you that scary feeling not knowing where they are. As you progress you’ll unlock better gear which can kill the BTs. The boss fights are a little to easy it doesn’t give that challenge the player will be expecting. There is also this online system in the game, this is probably the best aspect in the entire game. So after you connect a region to the network you’ll be able to see other players stuff,signs,bridges ect. But you’ll never see the other players, you can build bridges or place down ladders which can be used by other players, it is a really cool aspect and I hope to see it in future games and it ties into the games story about connections. So if death stranding worth buying? I’ll say yes it is definitely a must buy if you just want a game to play or just to have a good time,. If you’re into shooter games like “Call of duty” this is probably not the game for you.… Expand

They will write it off as a boring and simple delivery simulator, no, it's not boring and simple. Yes, you do deliveries in the game, but that's far from describing the full gameplay loop. It has a little bit of everything, switching it's priorities from action and killing, to planning, hiding and helping.

    I can say right off the bat, it isn't for everyone who expected another game that did nothing new.

    I have about 10 hours right now and can tell you, this game is slow, yet rewarding. The environments and atmosphere combined with the music choice is something special. The gameplay I don't personally feel is lacking per say, yet the game core loop is about climbing mountains and reconnecting a fractured society. Which is something Kojima has stated since the early days of MGS2, and all through his career. It is ironic how fractured the user reviews are for this game when the purpose or intent is getting over your own shortcomings as a player, if it be not accepting a new type of game, or it be the patience that is required for a game of this nature. There is no instant gratification with climbing. It is the process of the individual that matters most and the experience throughout. The game is tough, but once you get past a steeper than most learning curve, the game opens up into varying possibilities for the player. Cooperating online, lots of information, mail, interviews to dive into to get more history and lore of the universe. Everything is connected and feels meticulously crafted and very well driven. Despite any shortcomings from user reviews, I would suggest taking it with a grain of salt. The player has to be ready to try something new, and it was always stated that this game will be different. I would say different in a good way and the player must accept that to really appreciate the beauty in Death Stranding.    … 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.
