    The worst 60$ I've ever spent, I am beyond livid. I love single player games, and I hate shooters, and I waited for this over-hyped game for so long only to be let down.

After playing this game and feeling so bored, I was told "it stops being boring about halfway through" which is an absolute lie, the terrible pacing does NOT pick up. Shame on any critic that's enough of a hack to give this game a good score. I don't know if Kojima productions paid them to lie, or if they're just scared of Kojima fans letting them have it. I can't believe IGN is the only company that showed any integrity with an honest review.
    Today I was on the phone with a representative from Sony trying to get a refund, all to no avail. He also said, they've had a ton of calls asking for refunds since the game released. This game is a terribly mundane walking simulator. Kojima has lost his way, and he's NOT a true auteur like Hidetaka Miyazaki (Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro director)
    Miyazaki is a master of his craft, and Kojima is a washed up, pretentious, has-been.

Then you can play! The game is for hiking that Gran Turismo is for car racing. You prepare your path, your package, then make a poo while reading commercials and drink some Monster Energy cans... Then you walk and climb ... with wired stuff and actions... That’s funny for a couple of hours then boring...!

    For a game that claim to be a kind of critic against SNS ... it’s empty like Google+ was ... but have commercials embedded like Facebook have .. Just to finish and that not really a big point but I feel the game is not very perfect in graphics and animations but score sounds good! Also if you didn’t put a ‘like’ for this game on your favorite sns, Kojima himself said that you are too stupid to understand something that is even obscure for him! But you may love this game like people who love climb and hike in real life in an empty open world.

Where it succeeded spectacularly is being the most pretentious and overly ambitious trash in the gaming history.

    It wasn't konami who needed kojima, it was Kojima Konami. So much remains when a supposed genie works "alone". The story is an absolute joke. Trash dialogues and characters. The script should have been written by someone with a talent for it and the gameplay should have made someone who doesn't always scream out into the world how great he is. Less Twitter and more craftsmanship.

    Kojima said he invented a new genre of game.. He should just work on basics because everything is wrong with Death Stranding, except the music. But hey, it's not "music by hideo kojima" maybe that's why it's the only good thing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the worst game I've ever played and I've played a lot of games (more than your life on this planet). Now we got this out of the way, you might be wondering what's going on with this title and the problems behind it. I'll break it down, starting with the "gameplay"

    The Gameplay:
    The gameplay boils down to this, take packages and go from point A to Point B, sometimes a Point C in between. You traverse through a misleading map that is claimed to be as big as the USA but is actually smaller than most open world games (blame the lies from Sony and KJP's marketing). It uses draw distance as a means to distract the player in grasping the environment. While the environment is graphically impressive, graphics will be the least of your worries here. As you deliver packages, Kojima claims you can do stealth or guns a blazing, except there's two big problems with this. Going Rambo on everything forces you to die and go to the underworld, which is composed of a trash linear TPS segment that makes PS1 shooters look like works of art. To save you from the pain of playing this, it throws you immediately back to the real world right before you collect your missing items. You'd have more fun buying a water blaster toy or a nerf gun than this, hell you'd have more fun playing cops and robbers as an adult than this segment. What about the stealth? It's non-existent as well. While you do crouch and walk like previous MGS games, it's not a stealth game. BTs can sense you if you move too much and then it just becomes a game of "walk away and hope he doesn't notice me, wait he does" because the AI is programmed to notice you regardless if you hold your breath so the only option is to leave the area. Encounters with the occasional highlighter hazmat suit enemies is pure trash, carjacking is a cutscenes and takedowns are a cutscenes. It interrupts the flow of a very tedious cycle of sloppily punching enemies.

    So yes, all you do is walk, like any other game. Delivering packages not only becomes a tedious chore but more of an escourt mission, that is making sure the packages don't get lost. If it gets lost, tough luck; that women won't get her semen and that dude won't get his pizza. Does the story change significantly? No, it doesn't change at all; and neither does the gameplay. What about the boss battles? Well, goo monsters are recycled in different forms (lion, whale, etc) with no brainpower required; just press the button and it'll be dead. Bosses are completely unimaginative from an artistic point of view. What about Higgs? It turns into the most poorly made and thought of boss fight; it's a glorified rockem sockem robot fight, but worse. The animations are not only janky during that boss fight, but throughout the game like sliding down a cliff or picking up packages.

    The Story: Incoherent garbage psychobabble mixed with content ripped off from popular literary books like "The Time Wanderers" and "Hard Boiled Egg." Nothing makes sense and not in the good mysterious way. A child would be able to concoct a better story than this failed auteur of a director. The game wastes your time with HOURS UPON HOURS OF CUTSCENES, but thankfully you can skip them since it doesn't mean anything at the end of the day. Whats the plot twist? Lindsay Wagner is the big bad of the game (you defeat her by pushing two buttons to hug her) and Mads is actually the good guy. Nothing is resolved with the flying figures, Refn never finds his family, and the rest is just stupid.

    Do not buy this game unless you're a:
    1) Blind fanboy 2) Want to burn money for the sake of it

    Don't be fooled into nice graphics, they don't help you here. As for having a new genre? That was a lie. Kojima doesn't play games and doesn't know what to call this mess. Sony advertises this as a adventure game, but it's a whole less adventure and a whole lot more walking and chores. Any game is better than this. Play Journey, it actually emphasizes connections. Play any simulator game like train sim, it's more fun and well thought out. Play heavy rain or any PlayStation exclusive, it's a lot more engaging and coherent than this steaming pile of feces. Play paperboy, it's a lot better mailman game than this. Play any point and click game like monkey island, it's a lot better of an adventure than this.

    This entire game's development and hype is revolved around lies and paid reviews. I'm ashamed to being a PlayStation owner among many other consoles. Do a favor for your wallet and avoid this game like the plague. It's just not worth it. Still dying to play it? Rent a copy for $10, its worth less than that. Or, you can watch a full play through for free on YouTube since this game is such a mess. Verdict: This game is the E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial game of today. Except all the critics are paid off and fanboys mad. Don't believe me? Look at the near/perfect scores & see what they actually write to find out for yourself. What a shame

    If this were narrated by Cheech and Chong and called "C&Cs nightmare" I would at least understand the underlying sarcasm.
    Made by a guy who used to be part of the MGS series team and was fired for being unbearable, the game breaks new ground as it tries to take the indie 'contemplative' genre to the AAA arena. Plays as a cross between paperboy and frogger in 3d, with great emphasis on Skyrim's and FOs own encumbrance juggling gameplay.
    The whole social media gameplay factor, appeals to the likes starved teenager and focuses on forcing cooperation with strangers. If you cant get that tons of likes on instagram. Maybe you'll luck out by placing a ladder in a great spot in DS.
    Graphics are top notch, though the landscape is absurdly not coherent with the source material.

En cuanto a los graficos, tiene un buen apartado grafico que lo hace muy realista, pero incluso con eso, no se salva de la monotonia y lo decadente que es la jugabilidad, algo que sin dudas no hay que dejar de lado. Hablando de la historia, ahora, no es una trama que sumerja al jugador a querer explorar mas alla de lo que pueda ofrecer, ya que todo esta resumido en la cantidades excesivas y abusadas de las cinematicas que ocupan gran parte del juego y muy poca intervencion por parte del jugador, haciendo que esto mismo, acaparare mas que la jugabilidad, lo cual es sumamente ridiculo... ya que lo que tendria que dar prioridad, es la jugabilidad y no tanto cinematicas. Tambien se abusan mucho de los tutoriales que dan, ya que cada vez que el jugador avanza en el juego, el mismo, proporciona tutoriales cada minuto, entorpeciendo a los jugadores que quieren disfrutar del juego explorando por si mismos... no me malinterprenten, no es que odie los tutoriales, de hecho son necesarios... pero el hecho de que sean muchos y de que el juego abuse de este elemento mas de lo debido, no es para nada favorable, y es ahi donde tambien donde el juego peca de molesto. En resumen, Death Stranding no es un buen videojuego, no es la gran cosa que todos dicen que es, y tiene mas fallos que aciertos, es un juego que no entiende hacia donde quiere llevar, que hace de su jugabilidad algo cansador y repetitivo, la historia es una historia que facilmente es una pelicula holiwoodense mas, es un juego muy cargado de cinematicas y de muy poca participacion del jugardor para interpretar al personaje, es lamentable que la gente y la prensa le pongan tan buenas notas, cuando en realidad deberian tener mas criterio a la hora de evaluar un juego y ser objetivos en ese sentido y no caer la exageracion de decir que el juego es el mejor de la historia, por que sin dudas no lo es, en absoluto.

I played the game for 3 hours every day for 4 days it brought nothing but frustration.. came home from work every day tired , and starting this game made me feel like going on second shift. So let my comment go this time they took my 60$ and at least i want my right to vote. In short the game was boring instead of making the bikes reliable and go through rough terrain they made them feel like they hit a wall but it's a 10cm rock in front. Point A to point B is basically work day for me. Let me have a vote they took my money now my rights lol savages. Expand

The graphics and visuals are fantastic. You can see the amount of time and effort placed into making the graphics, the environments and the characters. This is the only reason I gave it a score of 1. If the graphics were average or subpar, then I would have given it a score of 0. I just cannot get over the fact that it is so boring. It has a lot of repetitive doubling-back and forth (which I find very annoying in games). It's sad really. This game had enormous potential and I feel they threw it away.

    People out there giving it 10's also throw in claims like "you aren't intelligent if you hate the game" or "it's for mature and more refined people" instead of saying what makes it so good in their opinions. They lash out and try to pin the blame on you for no liking it instead of simply accepting the fact that some people will find its not that great of a game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s a tightrope walking package delivery simulator, with a convoluted and contradictory plot. You strap cargo (poorly) and deliver packages from one point to another trying not to fall. After delivering your packages (again) you are graded for it without much of an explanation of what my grade means. There is a chart, but what the hell am I doing other than not falling down to increase it. Then there is the main plot mechanism. We have to deliver these keys from site to site to reunite America otherwise the world is destroyed. The kicker? Your sister that look like your mother that died, is being held hostage on the west coast, by a rouge city as insurance so that Daryl and the gang can’t bring this city into the new America. Yet this city is graciously allowing Daryl’s captive sister to use their equipment so that she can project herself. Project herself to Daryl and the new America to rule, all the while by scheming to overthrow that rouge city and bring his sister back. I’m only an hour and a half into the game. This game is **** But I’m going to finish it and then write a novelization of the plot. Expand

All it asks from you as a player is your patience and time, lots of it. The world has little to no variety.

Even more so when you know what the thing is all about from start to finish. You don't have to eat a whole plate of dish just to know whether you like it or not, do you?

Even more so when you know what the thing is all about from start to finish. You don't have to eat a whole plate of dish just to know whether you like it or not, do you?

    I'm a fan of MGS 1-3 and P.T. or intricate and messy movies but I don't like this game. I don't like how it plays. I don't get invested with the characters and the story. I don't like the guy who created it. It's just over the top and God awful silly.

    This is a review from a guy who disappointed with what I get in this game. A sore loser you may call. I had a high hope that this game would bring something totally new and refreshing given that Kojima has a reputable record and big budget for this project. It turned out to be, at least for me, a complete mess.

    Higgs breaks the fourth wall saying that the boss battle is what the player wants after all the tedious walk. Hell no. I don't want another generic combat even more so with easy to beat enemies and overall uninspiring combat gameplay I have done before in other games. I don't want any action. A deeper thought on the delivering package, the "connecting people" mechanic, to make it less obvious, simplistic, repetitive, pretentious, boring, rather than inclusion of combat at all could be better. If Kojima intented to show players the mundanity and meaninglessness of Sam's actions amidst the world he live in and the plot progressing, he could have at least cut it short or make it more creative. The game seems self-aware of these issues and it feels rather insulting.

    The music is extraordinary. The graphic is beautiful but then the world is empty unlike other populated open-world games. It costs less resource to render all the mossy rocks and draw distance sceneries. Sam animation and the physics could have been better. Sometimes he moves silly like from ps2 era.

    I also don't like how this game received so much praise from critics. It's not a bad game per se but not a great one either. They seem to hestitant being honest with the game. The politics of running a gaming media I guess. Death Stranding is published by Sony anyway. Also, Kojima has a lot of white knights, fame, power, sponsored products, and a bunch of Youtubers he can send exclusive ps4 to help selling his game. A more objective assesment for DS as it is, as a video game, as a product marketed for the masses with its appeal of mainstream tv stars, an evaluation of its merits without conflicting interests, is what I want to hear.

    This is the gaming industry today. This is just sad and infuriating at the same time. I want Kojima to stop and contemplate for just a second. Stop pushing his own agenda, stop being pompous for no reason. Start caring for gamers as a whole not just his inflated ego and his blind loyalists.

    This is preach, yes.

    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.
