    -Death Stranding-

    I swear Kojima and I share the same brain... or subconscious.. or SOMETHING! Only his is on a whole other lvl than mine.. for sure. I absolutely love this game and consider it not only a masterpiece but a generational milestone for gaming in general. Not even kidding. And it's not the crazy narrative. (though that is certainly a piece of it) It's the whole package.    -Death Stranding-

    I swear Kojima and I share the same brain... or subconscious.. or SOMETHING! Only his is on a whole other lvl than mine.. for sure.

    I absolutely love this game and consider it not only a masterpiece but a generational milestone for gaming in general. Not even kidding. And it's not the crazy narrative. (though that is certainly a piece of it) It's the whole package. I feel like none of it would work without the other and it all just falls together seemlessly to create this amazing immersive world that you, and other real life people like you, are pushing through in order to see it to the end. I am legit having a blast playing this game. Be a lot cooler if other people could "get it" but that's the thing about people... We're all different.

    For anyone serious, and I mean "serious," into gaming. This thing is a fn milestone. For most... It's probably really cool to look at and boring as hell.

    I love it.

    ...and before it's "damn man, you must REALLY but up on Kojimas nuts."

    I don't love the game because its Kojima.
    I love Kojima because he made the game. (and many others)

    Being someone who's been gaming since i was 1-2 y/o (still have my 2600 in the closet) 37 now...
    Its a milestone, thats the most appropriate word i can think of atm. And yes, im having a blast.. so i guess that means its "fun."

    I think there's a lot who consider Kojima = Metal Gear and expected Metal Gear not really understanding Kojima at all. And while I can dig some MG, and would love something in the vein of it.. I'm more than glad he finally created something he wanted to create vs something a studio made him create. There's a reason Konami wanted Hideo to create more MG games... the general populous loved them. This is not a "general populous" game. I feel like Sony could be taking a hit off this. I just saw all the review bombs on this site before "spell checking" and I just want to thank them (SONY) for letting a true mind show what he's capable of with the digital medium. This is something that RARELY is allowed to happen and if this doesn't prove that Sony, at least at some point in their chain, cares about the gaming medium and pushing it forward, then I don't know what else they could possibly do. Make more shooty shooty/hacky slashy games i guess... the same things we've been playing for the past 20 some odd years. People buy those.    … Expand

    I am only 6 hours into the experiance but I'm having a blast playing death stranding. I can understand why some people do not enjoy the core gameplay loop but I've been having nothing but fun with it. Just the simple task of finding someone's lost cargo and taking it to its desired location gives an awesome sense of accomplishment. This game isn't for everyone but it certainly is for me!

    I honestly thought, because of all the mixed and horrible reviews, I was going to have mixed opinions of it. Oh my god it has surpassed even my expectations, that were already high!

Oh my god it has surpassed even my expectations, that were already high! The first 10 hours critics were complaining about, I found very fun. Yeah they are fetch quests, but I never had so much fun doing a fetch quest! The whole balance and cargo configuration is definitely game changing. I can feel the new genre Kojima was talking about. This is not a simple "walking simulator", it is an engaging, terrifying, beautiful and emotional experience. It is a refined Kojima game, at its best. I got the same feeling I did when I first played MGS back on the PlayStation, Where as that was a stealth game, this is a delivery game. However, where MGS stealth was straight forward, DS is so much deeper in gameplay. It i amazing how reactive the terrain is to Sam. I could really feel all of the obstacles you have to traverse through. The sound is amazing, and very creepy. The music is very serene and touching, matching the story very well. You can really tell that a lot of effort was put into the sound and music of this game. While people say it is a boring slow paced game, they are probably used to hyper fast games like Fortnite or Overwatch. I say this because I felt the pacing was perfect. You were given time to get used to the mechanics, and explore the world that is simply breath taking. There was lots of story and rest in between, and going to Sam's room always felt meaningful and welcome, after a long journey. This has been a needed breath of fresh air, as games have become the boring same old crap, that I feel like I have played the same game over and over. This gives me hope, that if successful, will inspire more triple A titles to take a chance on something new. The only downside I could say that exists, is that we are going to have to wait at least 3 or 4 more years for a sequel..... I really hope they release some DLC story content that fills in that gap. I am a Kojima fan boy, through and through, but I was still worried in the end that it would not live up to the hype. For me, it did that at the very least.… Expand

    Journey tells a theme of human connection without a plot and almost without a sound way better than this pretentious garbage.

Whatever the case, the gameplay is pure trash.

    40+ hours of monotonous labor is an insult to players time. Convoluted storytelling filled with plotholes big enough you can put an entire America yet the fanboys defend it as 'story for thinkers' or shout 'go back to PUBG'. Neon Genesis or Satoshi Kon's works tells a complicated story better with little to no overlapping themes or troubled pacing.

    I feel bad for other developers out there trying to put a new concept but didn't receive any accolades. I hope this game sells bad as a hard slap on the face to narcisstic egomaniac Kojima as a reality check. He's not good at all.    … Expand

    The gameplay is definitely different from anything I've seen. Its a large part thought out inventory management, route planning, elements of stealth, and very light action. It really is its own genre of sorts. Very satisfying once you understand what's going on (for me at least).

    This game definitely isn't for everyone, which is why I didn't give it a 10. Its somewhat inaccessible to the impatient gamer. If you like well crafted, cinematic storytelling with smart inventory management, and slow, methodical movement, absolutely pick this up.    … Expand

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.

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.

    The game is simply great. It is certainly not for all types of players, but for those who enjoy a great atmosphere, good music and interesting characters with unusual dialogues. Yes, it is not perfect, and sometimes it feels repetitive, but it is compensated by the great development of the story and the great performances of the protagonists.

Just don't get involved if you look to have a rushing sensation when playing. You will only get that sensation by choosing to put yourself in those scenarios and then by doing that you will be frustrated because you might've lost some cargo by doing so. Play for more than 10 hours and then make your decision. I have played 11 and I am cool with it so far. I play this game to get away from others and I like the time that I've spent in it.

    Just because the game isn't for you...doesn't mean it isn't for others! Slating a game you have never played to try and influence others it beyond sad and pathetic.

    First of all, I did not finish the game, nor am I close to half of finishing it (where supposedly becomes way more fun), but I just want to share my thoughts about it. (11 hours of game play so far and counting)

    It is not for everyone, certainly. It is tedious, slow-paced and repetitive in matters of quest objective (fetch that from here, deliver it here and there). But the world is    First of all, I did not finish the game, nor am I close to half of finishing it (where supposedly becomes way more fun), but I just want to share my thoughts about it. (11 hours of game play so far and counting)

    It is not for everyone, certainly. It is tedious, slow-paced and repetitive in matters of quest objective (fetch that from here, deliver it here and there). But the world is amazing. I found so much fun in actually planning my route to avoid steep slopes or deep rivers. I'd stay 5 minutes on the map and check where I could walk to make it easier to myself. For me, it is incredible when I start doing my planned route and end up arriving without too much of a hassle, being really rewarding knowing I planned that path.

    Also I really enjoyed sorting the cargo to stabilize my gravity center. Sure, this is tedious too but when I walk 200m and almost topple and then spend a few minutes to rearrange the containers and can walk almost running, again it makes me feel better knowing that I solved a problem.

    The scenery and the graphics are amazing.

    The mechanics are new and I did not find those in any other game I played (never watched a character's urine level until now, for example). The rain and the mud it leaves behind that makes a slope way more slippery. The BTs and holding your breath not to see you.

    Also, the story captivates me. I'm always down for good in-game reading material. And Kojima delivered on this side. The cut scenes can be a little too long, especially at first when you make 5 minutes deliveries and in between them are 20 minutes or so cut scenes (I mean I can understand why some players are fed up with this part, but they should've been more patient), but it did not bother me at all.

    Regarding the other reviews: I am sad to see some of them. This game certainly does not deserve a 0 or a 1. Who did this didn't bother to try and see what the game is about and I assume they just opened it, checked that the speculation about FedEx simulator were true and then hate bombed it with negative reviews.

    On the other hand, it certainly does not deserve a 10. It is unique, sure, but it is really boring at (certain and in short span) points -- and here I mean literally walking on a plain with nothing else happening. 5 minutes of just walking.

    Therefore my review, an 8 is given as a ratio between graphics, story, mechanics and game play. The Graphics, Story and Mechanics deserve their credit, whereas Game Play while mostly fun, it lacks at points becoming too boring or tedious.

    All in all, DS is truly unique and deserves a chance if you got time (and money) to spare.    … Expand

The narrative particularly has the Kojima flavour that made his previous games so memorable. The chatarcters and the settings are hard not to love. They'll resonate with you even after 50 hours of gameplay.
    Dont know about everyone else, but me, the game was solid. Sure it gets tedious. But if you're a completionist and want to do every delivery there is, then of course it'll be tedious. Finish the main story first. You have time to do whatever after the game is over.
    Walking through scenic landscapes while planning routes , dodging BTs, soothing BB, navigating through the terrain with a low Roar track playing in the background is something else.
    The game becomes far less tedious as time progresses, literally. You'll see more and more ladders about the place, from other people. Helpful PCCs, charging stations for your bike and roads.
    I'd say in a weeks time, the while world will be populated enough.

    Why is it a 10? The gameplay is a refreshing change from the norm. At certain points it'll be extremely repetitive, at others you'll find a well done system of asynchronous online function that actually works, an unforgettable story, memorable characters, and a gameplay loop that has more depth than you'd think.

    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.
