    Es monótono, un simulador de entrega de productos solamente, el ego de kojima se fue hasta el infinito, le doy un dos por la historia que es interesante.

    Extensas cinemáticas, se supone que esto sea un videojuego no una película.
    Las mecánicas son un desastre, realmente el feto no es necesario, y tampoco el fabricar puentes, ya que otras personas ya lo hacen por mi.
    El caminar de un lado a otro probablemente no sea lo más aburrido, sino mas bien los soporíferos combates.

Most of the actual gameplay is REALLY boring, except the few tense boss fights and the rare action sequences. But the story, weirdness and cutscenes really make up for it. I wouldn't buy it for the astronomical price it is sold currently, but maybe on a 80% Steam Summer sale when it comes out on PC next year, but most probably not at all. I can already see the many-many disappointed buyers....

    Just watch a Youtube let's play or Youtube Movie version of it. In fact, I find watching someone else play the game is better than playing it myself, hence the 2 out of 10. Just type in on Youtube "Death Stranding movie" and get ready for a better more enjoyable movie experience that the game itself, and it's free. Why would you buy it then? It gets a thumbs up as a movie, but thumbs way down asa game. Kojima you should focus on making animated movies and series instead of games, because you are better at it.

    Amazing visuals and a beautiful soundtrack can't save this game from what amounts to a project that tries too hard to be different and left field and is just trying to be too clever for itself. The result is a 40+ hour bore fest that relies too heavily on its "connecting people together" narrative and not delivering much excitement.

    Any criticism of the game is met with snorts of derision

    Any criticism of the game is met with snorts of derision from Kojima fanboys which imply that you're not intelligent enough to get the metaphor behind the game.

    Sorry Hideo but I don't play games to marvel at the clever meaning behind them. I wanted a fun and absorbing 3rd person adventure with interesting characters, a balance of action and puzzles and a gripping storyline. All I got was a hiking simulator in the rain.

Hideo still doesn't get the concept of open-world design quite right: it didn't work on MGSV and it certainly doesn't work in Death Stranding either; over7k negative fair reviews were deleted all of a sudden; all the fake and scummy positive reviews are intact.

    The product clearly wasn't ready to be shipped yet, at its current state it certainly lacks any game-design quality control or whatsoever. Yet another unfinished Kojima Production's release, yet another disappointment from a person who once knew how to deliver well-designed and well-paced games. So sad to see his reputation in the videogame industry to end like this.

    This probably shows one of the main reasons why Hideo was fired from Konami in the first place: he would blow out an entire production budget just to satisfy his crazy bad-game-design ideas and his unbearable cinematics.

    Sony's investors surely took a HUGE risk financing Kojima after he was fired from Konami. Hopefully, they've learn this lesson and will avoid any risky and reckless financing on the future.

Even so it could had been an interesting experience to play if it wasn't buried by a pretencious and overly convoluted story that tryes so hard but fails so it gets buried in more stuff like a budget of 100M invested in an odissey of cutscenes,indie bands and monster energy drinks to make her look more appealing. But if the basic concepts and plot are superflous that 100M in cutscenes,ost and high quality animations it make it just worse and less appealing.
    This last days some people say that a game doesnt have to be fun to be good. I kinda agree,sometimes you are not playing a game and having "fun" but yet feeling enwrapped by another kind of feelings and emotions strong enough to keep you playing. So to finish this review i'll say that a good game has to be captivating to be good and sadly death stranding it wasnt captivating for me it was the opposite.

    -Unnecessarily over-the-top story, with a very basic message.(Nowhere near HK:s earlier work)

Characters talk in circles about meaningless nonsense that is given so much screen time it's disgusting.

    Time to review Death Stranding now that all the hyp has come to pass. The result is not very good. I have seen, heard some people and friends telling me to get this game, because of how original and revolutionnary it was. I listened to them, even though many others told me that it was going to be awful, but I bit the bullet.

    Well, the thing I can say is that it enlightened me on what you should not do in a game. The UI is atrocious, the gameplay horrible, repetitive as hell and I have never seen such a bad physics engine in a game. All the things apparently revolutionnary, you could already find them in other games. Giving advices and likes to people ? Dark Souls already did that. Building things together ? Well Minecraft is here for you and much more complete. I wanted to be able to build more infrastructures and cities, instead of just generators, highways and bridges.

    The game is giving improvements for your equipment, but it harly changes anything. You are always limited by the physical engine and the battery. Sometimes, you think something will happen annd immediatley right after, the developers take that away from you. It is not fun, it is so easy without any challenge and the boss fights are laughable.

    What I will give to this game is that it has an excellent score, a good direction overall and a good art-style. However, the writing is really inconsistent and it truly lacks some motivations behind it. Yes, some characters background are a little more detailed, but it is not something I have never seen before and it doesn't add to the main plot at all. Normally, a game tend to do that in excellent quest companions or side quests, not during a huge part of the main plot. Some dialogues are also a bit cringy and I can see why people would think some aspects are intelligent. You have to play more games to understand that while the form is good, what is behind has already been done in much better ways.

    Some people told me the story takes off after some times ( 20-25 hours which is already too long ), but the reality is that it never takes off, without spoiling. The cinematics are good, but only Mads Mikkelsen is really doing something.

    Overall, I was not impressed. It is a new IP and yet it takes so many things from other games. The story is tedium despite a good direction and the gameplay is abysmal and drag the whole game down. Not a good experience at all.

I love weird things and I thought I would love this "game" too; though I like weird I don't like random, for me weird does not equal random and this "game" is more random than weird. The reason I have the word "game" in quotation is that this is not a game. A game by definition is an activity that one engages in for amusement or fun. The gameplay of this is not fun or amusing. It's frustrating and boring. And I get this was done intentionally so you have to think about walking as a mechanic (which reminds me of Manual Samuel) and when you do eventually build things or use others' you are rewarded with a sense of community. But I think that sense of community comes from false pretences. The game is dull and senseless and the community forms from mutual dissatisfaction in an effort to make things better. For me artificial problems like this don't evolve into that sense of community. This game might be for you but it's not for me. If you don't like artificial complexity, random for random sake or boring gameplay, then this game might not be for you either. Expand

    Demaciadas horas de juego son requeridas, para comenzar a tener una simple fluidez. Mientras que durante todo este trayecto la unica recompensa viable es las cinematicas disconexas completamente de lo que acabamos, y vamos a hacer.
    Los personajes son planos hasta el final del juego, el giro argumental es totalmente esperable.
    En definitiva, la historia esta bien, el apartado gráfico y el sonido también. Pero como videojuego es malisimo, sobre todo por olvidar esa parte importante llamada juego.
    Solo es un delirio más de un director egocéntrico e hipervalorado por la industria

Sadly, this isn't a movie, this is a video game and pretty much every single gameplay aspect is absolutely terrible. Going back and forth to the same places again and again doing nothing but delivering useless stuff to people with awfully written backgrounds is the most boring thing I've done in a video game since like forever. The vehicles collision handling is absolutely abysmal. The "multiplayer" aspect is also completely botched leading to people being able to pollute others' maps with useless and ugly signs and constructions with no purpose absolutely everywhere. I think it's the first time such a bad game is getting such good reviews from journalists. Paid reviews ? Journalists not being on the same page as players ? I don't know but what I do know is that there's a real journalistic issue here. Expand

    Mr Kojima is the next JJ Abrams.
    The next ultra-overrated writer that sooner or later will destroy something you love, like the other did with Star Trek and Star Wars, and yes prep yourself for the day when you'll say "god damn that guy was right". Literally the worst "game" I've played in 34 year of gaming.

    Not sure if Sony payed well or the hype got them, but really this isnt even a game is a pretty bad movie with a walking simulator inbetween cutscenes.
    Top notch graphic, but the bad part of the movie is in what really matters, writing and plot.
    The writing is mediocre at best all the way from the beginning start to end, while the plot is interesting at first, ends up at soap opera level in the end.
    The feeling in the end is that you wasted 50+ $ and 40+ hours of your life.
    Absolutely not recommended, play chess with your granpa and you'll have more fun.

Mostly the game is basic fetch tasks that offer no gratification over mostly empty landscapes that offer no engagement. The cut scenes are long winded, repetitive, and boring. The game had such potential but ultimately is stunningly dull.

    The only positives I can give is its choice and integration of the music is done very well, the environmental design is wonderful, and the graphics are great. But unfortunately that does not make up for the incredibly boring and confusing game play.

    I really tried hard to like this game, as an oldschool MGS fan I am utterly disappointed (even worse than with MGS5). I would be more forgiving if the story was even slightly compelling or interesting. TLDR this game can serve as a tech demo for pretty graphics, everything else: from gameplay, mechanics and narrative is utterly broken and not worth your time.

    -Los gráficos es lo mejor del juego, tiene gráficos de muy buena calidad, con mucho detalle, sin embargo el mundo de death stranding esta vacio y carece de detalle. Demasiado monótono, demasiado grís. El mundo y los escenarios no tienen carísma.
    - El sonido es correcto, banda sonora ambiental, que acompaña d forma decente. Ninguna maravilla.
    - La historia tiene un buen planteamiento inicial, pero su desarrollo acaba volviendose predecible hacia la mitad del juego. Además se ve truncada y diluida por su lamentable jugabilidad. Los nombres elegidos para muchos personajes... malos y poco originales. Seguramente Kojima cree que esos nombres le dan epicidad a los personajes, pero los acaba convirtiendo en memes de megaman. Deathman, Die hard man, hearthman... vaya nombrecitos.
    - La jugabilidad es un horror. Tediosa, repetitiva, sin fundamento, sin ningún desafio y con poco interés. El mundo de death stranding esta llenísimo de misiones secundarias de reparto (el 90% )que aportan poco al disfrute del jugador.
    Nos limitamos poco más de ir de un punto a otro y hacer entregas de paquetes. Lo peor que he jugado desde No man´s sky.

I'm genuinely glad you liked the game. I wouldn't be as angry at this game but I was one of the people who bought this at full price. And it was not worth it.

Well, what do we have in the end? We have a courier simulator with good actors (although they play rather poorly here) and in general there was a feeling that this game is an advertisement for actors. Everything absolutely everything in this game is served under the sauce of such mysticism, obscurity, surrealism, I can’t say anything about the gameplay and the world (hello CTRL + C, CTRL + V) they are ordinary, they don’t catch anything. All the mysticism that was aggressively shown in trailers. just gone! Moreover, she left instantly, and you know nothing can be said here ... Yes, that's all that can be said about the game -_-. And now about Kojima, you know, he is a genius, he makes people think about what’s not there, yes, I read the reviews of the players who were deceived by this game “about something high” and I understand that they were deceived. They also deceived you, I watch streams, I see how people with a serious look look at the game, as if they are some philosophers, but they do it through force. Kojima is a brand; Dead Strandin is a brand. If you want to have a good time, buy the same game, do not support scammers like Kojima.

    Mamaged to pick up this game as part of my subscription to PS Plus. It sure is intresting, and not exactly in a good way.

    You're a UPS man in a post-apocalyptic world with very little explanation. All you know is your name, and you are soon overloaded with wacky plot points within the first 10 minutes. You'll quickly find yourself asking more questions faster than you get any of them answered. This can be forgiven however. But, you're sucker punched with the most boring, the most tedious gameplay ever imaginable. You walk around delivering packages. You do this by walking huge distances over varying different terrains, while trying to constantly stop yourself from toppling over, while watching the degradation of your cargo, while trying to avoid any enemies you encounter, such as BTs, which initially started as a pretty suspenseful encounter, but quickly become repetitive and simply act only as a way of inhibiting progress. You'll later get a rather lackluster combat system and some pretty cool gear that makes traversal easier, which ironically is the most fun part of this game. If you find yourself getting past the initial boringness and tediousness of the gameplay, you'll progress far enough that you can skip most of the journey. That's great, but when the enjoyment of your game comes from how much time you're willing to waste to make it easier, you probably don't have a very good system. But, that's not all. There's this doozer of a story. The story itself is confusing, and it once again tests your patience. You must ask yourself how much time you're willing to spend to get interested in it, while the story itself it is plagued with amateur writing and dialog at best. The first few hours are cutscene after cutscene. Even sitting in your room is cutscenes of Sam performing the tasks you ask him to. If that wasn't enough, the game treats Sam like he's an amateur in this post-apocalyptic world when he is not. Constantly, Sam is explained the plot points of the story and the mechanics of the game as if he is new to it all. They are there for the player of course, but trying to explain these things through the characters in your game isn't very convincing or good when Sam already knows all these things. It just makes for annoyingly constant exposition that doesn't feel natural. Speaking of the characters, let's get into how awful they are. For one, almost every character you interact with is just a projection. That wouldn't be an issue, but the focal point of the game is about reconnectin the new world. You can never feel truly connected to these people you never meet. If that wasn't enough, you never see the effects your actions have on these people helping. You play errand boy to help these people, and the most you get from it? "Wow! Thank you! This helps a lot! Goodbye now." And if THAT wasn't enough, that's not even considering that Sam doesn't give a jack squat about the goals you're controlling him to achieve. Sam has to be the most uninspiring and unlikable protagonist you'll ever play. He is a massive ass majority of the game. He does not care for the people he's helping. There are parts of the game where he is completely silent or distant from people spilling their hearts out and telling him how much it means to them that he's reconnecting the world. He doesn't care. If the protagonist you control doesn't care about anything he's doing, you can never truly feel connected to that protagonist. Alright, there are some redeeming qualities to this game. It is a nice chill pill. I can see the appeal of sitting back, taking a casual approach to this game, mapping out your route, and just taking in the beautiful scenery this game offers. It has amazing landscapes and stunning artistic visuals, as well as an enjoyable soundtrack. But if you're looking for much else, I advise against it.

    Thats it. Thats the game. Its a giant fetch quest.

    Good graphics, soundtrack. Story is OK. Performance is good. But the gameplay is super boring.

    Es un despropósito de juego, es aburrido y el modo difícil parece ser el super fácil

    A rediculously boring game based on carrying objects across the map that has been hyped beyond measure.

    Finally a walking simulator that includes urination and box stacking! Maybe Kojima should retire.

    One of the worst games of this year. Monotonous, repetitive gameplay. Ridiculous story written by a child; making use of the super expensive cast a waste. This could have

    Best Aras Cargo Simulator ever. Maybe best MNG Cargo Simulator ever or Maybe bes YURTICI Cargo Simulator ever. By by Kojima its not your business.

    Pros -
    The graphics are phenomenal. The game is beautiful .

    Cons-
    Everything else. The" gameplay" if you want to call it that. is incredibly boring. It is literally fetch quest after fetch quest after fetch quest broken up by boring exposition.

    Bland game. Tries to innovate but ends up messing itself up. It's a game that tries very hard in being something but doesn't get anywhere.

    Have you ever worked for a delivery service like Amazon or Fedex? No? Perfect game for you to relive the job you never had and never wanted. Literally a game about being a delivery boy in a post apocalyptic world. The enemies range from ghost like creatures, to humans to the real final boss...

Perfect game for you to relive the job you never had and never wanted. Literally a game about being a delivery boy in a post apocalyptic world. The enemies range from ghost like creatures, to humans to the real final boss... Anything that is larger than a blade of grass that you will trip over every 5 seconds if you don't mash the shoulder buttons. The gameplay is extremely dull, tedious and frustrating filled with only fetch quests and backtracking. On the plus side the game is beautiful and the environments are well crafted, the story is mildly interesting but the characters are bland only held together by the interesting actors that play them.... But it is all held back by gameplay that is HORRIBLE! Honestly, save yourself the money and just wait for someone to post all the cutscenes together on Youtube to enjoy the story without having to experience the awful gameplay yourself. 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.
