    Многие обзорщик это окрестили симулятором ходьбы и бу бу бу 20ч ходьбы до сюжета это ни разу не правда и для меня было удивление что доставлять грузу довольно интересная задача.

    This game, Is by far, the most interesting game I have played in a long time. All games shouldn't be about who can kill the most or nonstop insane action, and anyone who has ever played on of Kojima's games, know he tells a story and makes a game around that, the exception being MGS5, greatest game never finished.

I found myself wanting to complete every area fully before I would move one, I wanted to explore this world his team made. I loved how the game slowly explained this crazy world you found yourself in, yet treated your character like he knew the info, because he already has been living there, making you put together what everything was little by little. Is this game for everyone? Not at all, But for gamers who like to lose themselves every now and again in a story that would make an amazing novel, or visuals that would even make an exciting and dramatic movie, then you have to try it , and see how the Death Stranding can connect us all.… Expand

    Este jogo é o que promete, sinto muito por aqueles que esperavam um novo "metal gear", mas a promessa não foi essa.
    Comprei em pré e não me arrependo em nada.

    What about death stranding? This is one of those not many projects in our time that are made with the soul and full dedication of consumers for us. This game represents those 5% of games that are made for the sake of creativity and development of the gaming industry, and not in order to profit from the players. Everything is perfect in the game, the acting is beyond praise, the graphic component for the sunset generation of consoles is just perfect, the minimum number of technical problems on the release (Yes, now it is important, remember all AAA projects released this year). A plot that really can be called a plot, a game you want to return to, a separate word can be said about a masterfully selected soundtrack. The generation of Fortnight and Minecraft do not understand this.    … Expand

    Death Stranding is one of the most "Hideo Kojima" games ever created. It mixes all the strange and weird found in the MGS franchise with deep and elaborate hiking/traversing mechanics.

    The world has suffered the "Death Stranding", a worldwide event that caused the rules of life and death to no longer apply. The result? The souls of the dead now roam the realm of the living, voidouts    Death Stranding is one of the most "Hideo Kojima" games ever created. It mixes all the strange and weird found in the MGS franchise with deep and elaborate hiking/traversing mechanics.

    The world has suffered the "Death Stranding", a worldwide event that caused the rules of life and death to no longer apply. The result? The souls of the dead now roam the realm of the living, voidouts (huge explosions that cause craters) happening when BTs (creatures from the realm of the dead, BT stands for Beached Thing) get in contact with live humans, rain called "timefall" that basically rapidly ages anything it comes in contact with and humanity just giving up on all hope and living in underground bunkers.

    However, a company called BRIDGES aims to revert this catastrophe by installing key structures all over the USA, these structures would allow americans to reconstruct what was lost one day at a time by using a very advanced 3D printing technique. The thing is, when these structures were being created, the key item for linking all stations was still in development. This is your job in Death Stranding, unite America by linking all stations with the "Qpid" (the key to connect stations).

    The game loop basically consists of you (Sam Porter Bridges) carrying deliveries in different quantities and sizes from point A to point B, but it is not easy, the terrain is the most difficult enemy in the game, with big mountains, cliffs, rocky terrain that make any kind of vehicle basically useless. Cargo is fragile so you need to take good care of it as badly damaged cargo may result in a GAME OVER or a bad review from the recipient. Not to mention the enemies you may encounter, we have MULEs (porters who basically went mad), Terrorists (these guys do not like the idea of a unified America, and will do what they can to stop you) and BTs (the supernatural ghosts)

    You will be very lonely in Death Stranding, but that is part of the experience, you really feel like the future of American depends on your efforts only, it felt amazing to me how Sam is so fragile, he can slip on slippery terrain and won't be able to carry a lot of weight without mechanical help, even a river is sometimes very dangerous for him. You see his suffering, he is a normal human fighting against all odd, even supernatural ones, and when you finally reach your destination, you feel like you made the difference.

    Death Stranding may not be for everyone though, you will be walking quite a bit on very tough terrain and enemies will always try to make your life harder, but for those looking for something different, something that makes you think and feel an unique experience (believe me, the feeling of getting something to someone who needs that against all odds is a very interesting one) will find DS to be one of the best games released this year.    … Expand

    Although I'm only a bit over halfway I absolutely love this game. It actually amazes me how interesting and fun it is. On the surface it may seem boring and lazy but in reality the gameplay and mechanics are so intricate, and the world itself feels so alive. The story so far is gripping and there is a lot of lore to be found in emails and collectibles. Honestly would give it a 9 butAlthough I'm only a bit over halfway I absolutely love this game.

    Death Stranding is a monumental undertaking that is a among the best experiences in recent years. I may be biased as Hideo Kojima is my personal icon that I strive to be like everyday but... for a first time project away from Konami he knocked it out of the ballpark.

I may be biased as Hideo Kojima is my personal icon that I strive to be like everyday but... for a first time project away from Konami he knocked it out of the ballpark.
    This game not only helped me with facing some emotional issues i've been having over the past few months and Norman Reedus as Sam to me is a personification of my mind state, granted Sam and all his other allies and adversaries are equally as interesting, Margaret Qualley as Mama delivers a performance that is the best of her career so far and Troy Baker as Higgs proves he can create compelling villains as well as heroes like Joel and Booker.
    The gameplay is extremely repetitive however this adds to the theme of isolation and rebuilding as Sam is for 99% of the game by himself only being supported by the Bridges team over the Codec (Nice Metal Gear reference) and the countless preppers the player will encounter throughout the game but the boring gameplay evolves into an addiction by Chapter 4 as the player is given countless ways of delivering cargo and packages with Premium Deliveries adding some satisfying to complete gameplay modifiers, the whole delivery aspect of the game remains the same but further progress into the story opens up more opportunities like using ATV's to carry masses of Cargo and also traverse Rivers and Lakes like a small boat and Non Lethal weapons like Stun Assault Rifles and Slingshots (Bola Gun) to peacefully knockout every MULE or Terrorist between Sam and his destination/destinations.
    Whilst I may think this game is perfect there are two things holding it back one minor and one major, the minor one being difficulty or lack there of. In my 90 Hours with the game (My copy arrived early) I never died once and that was on Hard Mode simply put the only difficult aspect of the game is inventory and cargo management but even so Kojima can make experiences that are challenging.... maybe not to the extent of European Extreme in Metal Gear Solid but something somewhat challenging would be appreciated and as it stands right now the game is a breeze even on Hard which to me is kinda a joke considering the themes and messages in the game.
    Finally the point that everyone reiterates and that is subjectivity. If you as a reader are the kind of guy or gal to play Fortnite and Yearly Releases then this is definitely not the experience for you it has so much quiet and slow moments that you might be burned out after the first 2 hours if this isn't your kind of experience. But if you are a Metal Gear or Kojima fan then this is a no brainer supporting the legend behind those innovative experiences. And please please please do not spend money on this game if you are on the fence and have friends or acquaintances who are telling you not to play it then follow their advice or wait for a sale.
    Overall Death Stranding is an experience like no other that encapsulates the best the industry has to offer and then some.    … Expand

I find myself helping others more, than playing the actual story knowing that you help newer players if you build a street etc. Is very satisfying, and you keep wanna help your fellow travelers trough the harsh journey.

    Most user scores make me really sad, because it's clear they either havent played the game trough chapter 3, or simply dont understand what this game is about.

    If you want a unique experience, give this game a try, force yourself trough the first chapters, and get rewarded with what the game ACTUALLY has to offer.    … Expand

    A masterpiece! As a gamer from the 70s this is a breath of fresh air amongst the boring re-skinned games and god awful Fortnite garbage. It's new, fresh...clever and unique. Progress and hard work reap rewards. I have beat the game (55 hours)and after 20 hours or less I could easily get about the game world. It's all a learning curve. Those that struggle have either no patience or brain?

    Very interesting idea. I think that the game is perfect and ingenious. For the first time, I see that the game combines genres so well: sandbox, action shooter and horror. I played more than 60 hours and I think it takes so much time to realize the meaning of the game. I gave her the title Game of the Year.

    Death stranding is not a walking simulator, its a message from Kojima himself, to keep being kind, stay connected and help the one needing it, we all walk through the obstacles and fight The mules in this game, but what Kojima intended was to show that we, at the end of the day are all the same and are all walking through the hard path.

There is fun to be had in its complexities. Personally I was never bored but then again I dont play Fortnite so theres that. There is a ton of stuff to do, it just doesnt involve guns. There are guns. I can only imagine these negative reviews come from those who didnt get past the first few chapters as it hugely picks up pace. In defence of this argument for example I saw a review say there are no othercouriers in the game. Utterly wrong for example.… 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.
