    I kid you not this game is hours of cutscenes, and the gameplay is just walk to deliver something with horrible controls. Rinse and repeat. Where is this game? Where is the fun? This is the worst game Kojima has released, which makes me wonder if he really was behind the success of MGS or if he was surrounded by talented people to reign his crazy ass in.

    Lo unico bueno de este juego es el apartado tecnico. Aburridisimo,repetitivo, historia confusa e infumable, ia patetica, mapa vacio, personajes olvidables. Llegue hasta el final solo por ver la conclusion la cual es tan tediosa como el resto del juego. Ya habia subido mi analisis y metacritic me lo elimino. Deberia darles verguenza

    To be honest I have always like kojima games but this one is different there is so much walking to do, the world feels empty, its like doing secondary missions all the time the story is a mess also, I am really dissapointed at this game as a fan of Hideo Kojima. In the end its a really boring game.

This game is exactly what it is being claimed to be: A cinematic stroll that will bore your cat’s mind as they stare at a human walking...in a video game while they sit lifeless in a chair!

    This is not a game, it’s not even a walking simulator, it’s just a idiots way to pass time, wastefully pushing and mashing buttons on a controller unnecessarily. If you kill yourself on purpose you just sit through another short film that makes you want to poke your eyes out. Don’t even bother to build anything, others have literally put the dumbest stuff in your way, and by others I mean other players, who have also wasted their time. Hopefully they figured out they should warn their friends not to waste their money or time.

    I forced myself to finish this game hoping I saw what the hype was about and was extremely disappointed. Those claiming this to be anything but a boring stroll delivering god knows what to god knows where is either brain dead, damaged, or just simply a fanboy who probably didn’t even play the game. This is not a game of the year anything, this is nothing more than a “irredeemable piece of garbage“ as critic review has already stated!    … Expand

Kojima should've been the creative consultant in this game and nothing more, he needed a competent director to put some boundaries to his ideas and shape them as a more enjoyable experience.

    This game is a chore, I don't like the idea of coming back from work only to do more work and menial tasks that can be even more tedious than my actual job.

    Gameplay is important and this game should be a reminder of that, the story is good... and that's it, it's a ups simulator, the monster sponsorship is way too heavy and the celebrity cameos, specially Doritos and Mountain spam bot Dew Geoff Keighley can be really annoying.

    Kojima should've stayed with konami. The game is beautiful but you can clearly tell that konami carried the metal gear series. Pointless cut scenes and very very lack luster gameplay. Metal gear survive was 10 times more fun than this. Don't waste 60 bucks in this. You'd be better off paying 10 bucks.

    If this game is saved by the press it is certainly because it was accompanied by a check, that the tester is a hardcore fan of Kojima and / or that the game is exclusive to the PS4.

    Honestly, this game will be remembered especially for being a real playful failure.

    Un juego con un presupuesto monetario y marketing descomunal con un nivel de estafa que ofrece metacritic para poder comer del bacalao (por mucho que nos borreis los comentarios, la mierda seguira siendo una mierda aunque la pinteis de rosa, y eso se refleja en las ventas del juego que no han vendido mas que el God of War en su 4 semana)

    Diciendo lo anterior, este juego es un insulto a    Un juego con un presupuesto monetario y marketing descomunal con un nivel de estafa que ofrece metacritic para poder comer del bacalao (por mucho que nos borreis los comentarios, la mierda seguira siendo una mierda aunque la pinteis de rosa, y eso se refleja en las ventas del juego que no han vendido mas que el God of War en su 4 semana)

    Diciendo lo anterior, este juego es un insulto a la industria del videojuego, tanto por los premios entregados (que parecian los oscars de cine) como la manera de vender el juego incluso a dia de hoy por la prensa.

    El juego en si es terriblemente aburrido, cargada de una historia profunda en el sentido que tu quieras darle, por que a mi ver "unir a las personas" es simplemente juntarlas para luchar contra un mal que les perjudica (a esto se le llama "hacer huelga" en mi pais, en resumen manifestarse).

    Enviar a un repartidor de un lado a otro con varias cajas a la espalda no fomenta la unificación. La humanidad saldria fuera a enfrentarla en vez de vivir como ratas en los bunkeres que tienen por hologramas. Ese es el concepto basico de supervivencia que hemos vivido durante los albores de nuestra creación. Morir o Matar en resumidas cuentas.

    Dicho esto hablando de los graficos y banda sonora = nada que haya visto distinto de otros juegos y aunque me pongan una musica triste si no entiendo el por que de tal tristesa en el momento que me la ponen deja de ser un sin sentido. Los graficos compuestos de testuras verdes y negras no ofrecen nada mas que no nos haya enseñado un no man sky en su fase alfa.
    Una cantidad de cinematicas que son la recompensa de dar paseos de izquierda a derecha repartiendo cajas con pizzas, muñecos y skines.

    Tecnicamente vas a disfrutar mas jugando a Track Simulator que a este juego, por que hay mas obstaculos reales como las señales de trafico o otros vehiculos.

    Resumiendo un mundo muerto con un ciervo de intro el cual no volveras a ver durante todo tu trayecto. Si puedes pillalo de segunda mano y bajate del tren antes de que se estrelle, por que mas de un tarugo ha comprado este producto pensando que seria un Metal Gear VI y acabado vendiendolo en el wallapop por 70 euros con feto incluido.

    PD: si usaramos en estos game awards la misma bara de medir de death stranding con cyberpunk a cyberpunk le deberian dar un camion de premios.

    Death stranding premios:
    -Mejor actor
    -Mejor banda sonora
    -Mejor dirección (que terriblemente han confundido con director)
    ---. Aspectos que no definen lo bueno que es un juego, mas bien definen lo bueno que es una pelicula.---

    -*Mejor dirección (en que apartado?, producción por ejemplo): Hasta el punto de contratar ingenieros automovilisticos reales para desarrollar el videojuego y darle vida al mismo... mejor producción que esa...

Good graphics and odd cinematic, but everything else is boring and stupidly over complex. You'll spend more time managing inventory and traversing overly detailed, poorly explained menus than you will actually doing something other than hold R2 or L2 to walk. The idea of different terrain aspects impeding your traversal is interesting, but Kojima doesn't do anything else with it other than make playing the game frustrating. So much with potential, yet the worse possible execution. This game seems more like a money grab so he can start his career making cheesy movies.

    The scenery is essentially 1 color pallet per region of the same things; funky terrain in green, magenta, grey, or white. I never knew the US had so many mountains... Many of the predetermined animations for movements locks your character into a path even when you try to change directions. This leads to janky movements, odd traversal, and stupid collisions that could have been easily avoided. The world is really empty, beyond the idea of feeling alone. You never run into other couriers, even though they say they're out there. There's a deer in the opening cutscene, but there are literally no animals in the game. There was more to the world in MGSV than there is here!

    In terms of NPCs, there are "characters" in the game that you'll experience through cutscenes, but there's no one to actually interact with beyond holograms of people holed up in a random bunker. the game tries to convey a sense of being alone, but you're constantly interrupted by everyone chiming in. I guess it was too hard to animate actual interactions with NPCs. If it weren't for the few predetermined cutscene/encounters, all of the enemies could be easily avoided and overcome. The enemy AI is near non-existent, even on hard. Pretty much the entirety of quests are all the same overall; be a delivery man. Yes, there are some unique "challenges", such as not getting an item wet, or keeping it "flat". However, it's still the same crap over and over again. Very little variation, which is disappointing and adds to the tedium. Don't expect any unique quests or side storylines.

    Overall, the game get kudos for its rendering of mossy rocks and always shiny looking skin. The story is just so cheesy, and not in an artistic way. If this game didn't have the Kojima name behind it or essentially a Sony console exclusive, it wouldn't have gotten any attention. The hype was fake with this one! Keep your money and buy a game from developers that actually care about their customers.    … Expand

    I wanted to like this game, but poor design choices prevented me from playing beyond the prologue/tutorial--and judging by what I've seen as I tried to research what I might have been doing wrong, I'm not the only one suffering the problem of the game being literally unplayable because there is no option to leave your private quarters, even after examining every item in the room, Sam points to the door repeatedly (and shakes his head when you tell him to do anything other than exit the room), but there's no way to actually get to the door and leave the room. This renders the game literally unplayable (unless you want to stare at CGI/mocap Norman Reedus but not actually do anything besides that) for a lot of people with this issue. To me, that's a broken game at best, a-hole design at worst.

    It's visually stunning and might have an interesting story; I don't know, because I can't actually play it beyond the prologue portion to find out. It definitely makes the case that video games are indeed art... but Kojima might have wanted to keep in mind that video games are interactive art, and if you cannot interact with things and advance the story, then it's not a video game.

    I'm giving the game a 2 for the visuals/graphics and audio that I've seen in the roughly 60-90 minutes that I was able to play, before terrible design left me stuck in a room with no way out and no way to continue the game.    … 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.
