    A totally different approach from Kojima Productions in todays gaming industry. Mechanics and the concept is not for everyone. But if you are someone who likes micromanagement, interesting storytelling and patience-reward systems in general, you will love it.

    Death stranding is the most forward thinking game I have played in years. While it disguises itself as a open world sandbox it is very much a new genre all of itself.

This is a game that centers itself around delivering packages from point a to point b this might sound boring but if you are open minded you will find the gameplay is unlike anygame before it and is extremely rewarding. I suspect dispite the hundreds of warnings allot of people will buy this expecting a new action based hit, this is not what death stranding is, this is a game that is wrapped in mystery and builds on it's themes using symbolism and emotion . It's not going to be for everyone but those of us who have a deeper understanding of kojima outside mgs this might be his best work. Expand

    I am absolutely enthralled by this game. I am sick of the twitch shooter and battle royals genre and thos game is the antidote. Make sure you get chapter 3 before scoring this game. Super excited to see how the strand system works out.

    Apparently most of the players forgot that the game is not just running and shooting like crazy. The game can be art, an interactive kin, telling its story. Especially from such a creator as Kojima. Unjustified attacks.

Outstanding acting, music & visuals, art design, world lore, game mechanics, all blend into an amazing spectacle that will keep your jaw on the floor and your hands locked on your DualShock for hours. Exploring this strange, weird alternate universe is essential if you love serious sci-fi and existentialist themes. The gameplay is a mix of immersive sim, open world quests and action RPG to create a unique style of fetch/delivery mechanic that feels fresh & compelling. New gameplay elements appear as you get further into the game and as its initially slow paced to teach you the essentials, it really ramps up the pacing the further you progress. Superb game that’s become one of my favourite titles of the PS4 generation. Expand

    The game has nice graphics, but terrible bugs, the character falls all the time, gets stucked in little rocks. if you go against the big rocks, you can go through them like a hologram.

    There are going to be people that hate this game because it's different than the mainstream, there's going to be people that love it for the same reasons.

I don't like calling it a game, because to me it's a piece of art. A much needed piece of art, in a time where we're sold recycled, souless junk by money hungry gaming companies. Kojima and his team have taken a chance and have delivered something amazing that will stand the test of time. Good art should pull people into the artists world and inspire discussion and that's exactly what Kojima and his team have achieved. It's just a shame most people are too stunted to express themselves and can only give a zero rating without any real explanation/thought. Everyone's after a quick high these days and Death Stranding not only reminds us that success and real happiness is earned through determination and hard work, but that life is about being connected. We should all take a step back and appreciate people and the small things life offers us.

    Kojima and the team clearly weren't after a quick high with this masterpiece and it shows. True passion and art is more important than money.

    Also, Kojima puts his name at least 3 times each time credits show up (and there are multiple credits and titles screens). "A Game By Hideo Kojima", "Casting By Hideo Kojima", "Directed by Hideo Kojima"... this is the most pretentious garbage I've ever seen

    he jugado muchos titulos singleplayers, que son los mas me gustan y puedo decir que estamos delante de una delas mejores narrativas e historias de los ultimos tiempos ( si es que no la mejor).
    el gameplay es exelente, el uso de mecanicas es como dije mas arriba.
    ahora llegamos al punto que molestara a mas de alguno: EL RITMO
    El ritmo es bastante lento, tranquilo... si tuviera que compararlo con la musica es un ANDANTE (que va tranquilo).
    aburrido?
    las primeras 3 hrs. de juego estan bien... bastante bien, lo que sigue es que estaremos haciendo *lo mismo* durante las proximas 10hrs.¡??¡?¡
    aunque este tema va directamente relacionado con la tematica y eje del juego... ademas lo dice el propio protagonista al principio "hago repartos, es todo". el mundo representado esta correcto... osea... estamos separados y desconectados, la gente no va a estar afuera con los CV afuera rondando, la TIMEFALL. que no hayan casi nada de animales de igual forma esta bien segun el argumento y lo expone al principio con el ave muriendo.
    sam es solo un repartidor que es contratado. tu eres la persona que te pones en sus zapatos y haces el trabajo. que esperas? que te contraten y que a las dos entregas se desenrede la trama y todo? mas despacio velocistaa.jpeg
    el punto que si voy a compartir con todos es su repetitivo sistema de misiones.
    se que el trabajo de sam es solo hacer entregas... pero, eso hace que caigamos en un punto de repeticion continua como lo dije mas arriba y eso al hacerlo tan largo, obliga a muchos a abandonar.
    si hubieran acortado esa parte del juego un poco estaria mucho mejor (aveces menos es mas)
    lo personajes secundarios (bots de las estaciones de entrega) son casi todos iguales... me refiero a que ninguno te pone un problema mayor.. alguien enfadado,,, molesto por todo y que haga algo inesperado... ¿salir del bunker y amenazarte??? , algo....
    un juego desarrollado en 3años y 9 meses... esta bien, pero quizás debieron tomarse un poco mas de tiempo y replantear algunas cosas. com los tiempos de viajes y la dificultad de bosses.
    DEATH STRANDING es un juego que pone a prueba la paciencia, No ES ABURRIDO si sabes a que vas, sabes que tipo de juego te plantea y lo tomas con calma...
    si eres de mantener el joystick o el boton hacia un lado para avanzar sin mas, te gusta la accion a montones, quieres todo rapido... pasa de largo

The exploration and traveling in this game is on a level of its own, I’d like to compare it to Zelda botw in that regard. Visuals, graphics, mechanics are top of the line. For anyone feeling impatient with this game, just relax and enjoy it, the game won’t hold your hand so try to think “how would I climb down this mountain in real life, or how would I cross this rapid river” before you know it you will find yourself truly enjoying this satisfying challenge and find it quite therapeutic.

    So I think the game is so barren. Sure it looks beautiful and the story is great. But you don't do anything else like running from A to B. It is a postman simulator. The effect of the beautiful Open World has quickly faded away. If Kojima wants to make a film, please do so. But please not a playable movie. This has annoyed Heavy Rain before. Why something like that again?

    attention to detail is symphonic it just doesn't compare to the current AAA creative space this generation, or any generation. The BTs are legitimately the scariest video game 'enemies' I can remember too. I was not prepared for the stealth in this game. It is as rewarding and challenging as say MGS3 or even MGS4? No, but boy if it's not some of the creative and spine tingling encounters I've had since Dead Space 2. Interestingly enough, I do think that narratively, 9 hours in, it's a massive improvement over the slog that was MGS4 so people saying it's the same old Kojima writing aren't giving it enough time or credit. I was weeping when I lost a package and couldn't go back for it. Like it sounds stupid but 20 mins in you either feel the same way or it's not for you. (I don't mean that in an elitist artsy why either.) It actually feels like Kojima took a few screenwriting classes this time. In summation, the animations, cinematography and graphical composition make Gears 5 and Assassin's Creed Odessy look like they're 360 lauch titles. (And I'm talking about the PC versions) Now, are of these elements enough to keep someone who engaged for 50 plus hours though, I hope so, but I doubt it. As odd as that sounds. I give Death Stranding a "Now I'll be terrified of marine mammals for the rest if my life"/10

Is it different? YES, is it for everybody? NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. It's fine that people doesnt enjoy the game, totally understandable. But giving it a 0/10 is disrespectful, and nothing but that. Kojima and his team, tried something new, AND IT WORKS, so you'll either hate the game or love it. But even if you hate it, don't base your review on what you think it should have been, because no. This game wouldn't have worked as a movie, (as some have stated) No, they shouldn't have added fast travel etc. It would have ruin the whole experience of the game. This game is really enjoyable because it's hard. This game works BECAUSE its so frustrating sometimes. I've seen some people call this game "The Dark Souls of world traversal" And it truly is that.

    Now lets ignore these children and focus on the game. It's big, gorgeous and hard to traverse. For me, it's never boring, its hard. And that's really everything I'm gonna say. I really believe this game is something YOU need to experience for yourself without spoilers. If you need instant gratification to have fun, don't buy this. Play something else :,)
    But if you want to experience something truly new, uniqe and wonderful. Try it out. Compared to everything that has been released in a very long time, this truly is goldglimp of hope for this industry. We dont need the same thing over and over again, we need new and innovative ideas that work with the concept of gameplay. And Death Stranding does that really really good!

    Only reason that I'm not giving this a 10/10 is beacuse I havent finished it. But It probably is a 10/10. Cheers

    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.
