    definetly is boring. Awful character's movements. Too much markenting and advertinsing and the final product is sooo average. Not even in the top 20 of this year...

    This game alternates a movie with forced twists to a monotonous and unrewarding gameplay.

    The game presents various problems such as: absent difficulty (even opting for the hardest difficulty); flatness of the boss fight, without variety. Omnipresent and increasingly boring backtracking; painful artificial intelligence; Empty game environments to keep the graphic level high

The developer who directed the cutscenes admitted he didn't fully understand his game. All I know is that you play as some pregnant man who delivers stuff to holograms.

    The gameplay is beyond horrible in this game. It doesn't even have that much gameplay. Walking in this game is such a chore. The missions are so boring and repetitive. The physics are horrendous. All you do in this game is walk, it is a walking simulator. There are motorbikes you can drive, but you have to go through so many boring hours of walking just to get that. Speaking of the motorcycle, the driving mechanics are complete garbage in this game. It is tedious to worry about the battery of the bike. There is barely any combat, not to mention that it is lazily designed.

    The open world in this game is by far the most boring garbage I ever seen. The world is empty and there is nothing to do. There is nothing worth exploring in this boring world. Most of the world is full of plants, trees, rocks, and dirt. That is so boring to explore. This game lacks so much content. It seems to me that the developers forgot that videogames are suppose to be fun. I don't know why developers these days are so obsessed with making movies. They should focus more on what makes this medium unique and that is gameplay.

    There is no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, this game will go back to the shelf and collect dust. Charging $60 for a game with no replay value is a cashgrab. The greedy developers are basically charging $60 for a movie ticket. I didn't even bother beating the story, because this walking simulator almost put me to sleep. The only good thing in this game is graphics, but the graphics sacrificed the content and the gameplay mechanics. I don't recommend this poor excuse of a game at all. This movie will eventually be free on PS Plus in the future, and I still don't think it would be worth the time to download this trash.    … Expand

I like being able to come home from work, finish a couple deliveries, see some nice story progress and call it a day. The ease of play and the nice environments are a bonus. I also really like the asynchronous online gameplay, where the material collection is not the goal but using them to do stuff and help each other out is the goal. I like that rank based on level and other accomplishments is not the focus. It really made me look at the loot part of gameplay differently, and I found that not worrying about loot/quality of loot made me open my eyes to something new.
    I am finding that most of the criticisms people have are the reasons that I like this game.
    I guess the whole hyping, and keeping stuff mysterious led people to have crazy expectations and then they were let down.    … Expand

    Here's my honest review of the game. For those of you who are wondering what type of game this is, it's basically Euro Truck Simulator without the truck, without the roads and without anything. You just walk from point A to Point B delivering packages for 40hrs. Ain't worth the 60$ pric. You can get the same vibe just by adding character models to a terrain map in unreal engine.

    The most overrated qnd overhyped game of the decade. I really cant understand the critic. The positive points that the quote are linked to another type of media. Really, on a game, who cares to how famous the actor is if they gameplay is terrible?

    Lots of marketing and no fun. The game is boring!
    Stealth's father failed miserably.
    Half a dozen actors don't make the game any better.
    DS has been overrated.

    Third: The best of this game is the soundtrack, some heavily tesselated rocks don't amaze me as other people.

    The review:

    Sometimes art is something abstract, something that needs a deep understanding to be appreciated, something so weird that communicates and touches you deep inside, something to remember and to be remembered for, even if it's not appreciated in the present, it gets to grow as a hidden gem for the next generations, this is NOT the case, as a KOJIMABOY, I spent hours during the last months arguing with people on PS related groups and forums as to why this game would be awesome and how kojima won't show real mechanics on trailers, well my words did came back to bite me in the ass, exactly what you saw in the trailers and gameplay reveal it's what you'll get, once I got my hands on it, I thought the first hour (well, 2 hours, or 3? Maybe 4. 5, that's it) would be slow so you'd get used to the mechanics , but no, you're just a delivery guy trying to keep everyone alive, how so? By going from point A to point B carrying supplies, enemies are a joke, as well as their AI, and when you're interrupted during your delivery walk by a BT you'd get into a joke of a boss fight that can simply be skipped out, if you have the proper equipment, they're wack and ready to kill, thus vanishing the fear you'd feel, if you can skip battles and after 10 hours gameplay your pretty much ready to blast them out, even on HARD, so pretty much combat is still, inexistent or skippable, the only activities you do are deliver and watching loooooooong poorly acted cutscenes, a cheesy, plot hole filled story, cringy dialogues a la Watchdogs2 and the fact that kojima seemingly lost his way, if MGSVTPP was disappointing in some areas, this is the downfall of kojima, I think he would do better as a Washing Dead Director.
    That much money and time spent to make a mediocrity fueled "movie", don't would've better spent that money on bringing back some nostalgia filled tilted as the trend is going on, even Detroit is a better movie than this disappointment. I've just hooked my copy on eBay, for 20 bucks, and I feel like I'm ripping off the poor person who buys it.

The game is not fun and it's not particularly executed as far as the convoluted pseudo intellectual story. People are pretending to like this game for the sake of it being different but this game has no replay value. Everyone is hiding behind words like experience and new genre. But no one has yet to say it's a fun game that has solid or amazing gameplay. Its horrid. Kojima is no good and this was a poor choice for sony. I feel sorry for all the people that had to pay full retail price for this game. It wont last 3 months. The truth will come out. Games like this are the reason the gaming industry and hollywood will become 1 one day. No more will gameplay matter as long as you can think up some shotty crackpot concept.

    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.
