    Na bro. The game is actually good. The only problem is that not everyone can enjoy the gameplay.

    As a game: boring art house 3/10, waste of time and $
    As a movie: quite interesting concept of the world and characters, 8/10
    Kojima said in interview that he wanted to make movies, so movie it is! If you remove empty gameplayless open world from this game not only will you lose nothing, but it will become mere interesting sci-fi movie, so..

    I was a Kojima fan, I'm not anymore. Is there anything else to add ? This man needs someone to supervise him otherwise it's terrible.

    I went into this game knowing it is a walking simulator yet I have never been baffled by how bad this game is.

    Is it bad if a game isn't all action? No. There are plenty of games that are just relaxing and are perfect for winding down after a hard day of work. This is not one of them.

    Is it bad if a game isn't all action? No. There are plenty of games that are just relaxing and are perfect for winding down after a hard day of work. This is not one of them. You constantly get interrupted by the oil people coming out of the ground where all you do is mash X and most times its a flip of the coin if they they get you or not and while that happens you listen to a baby bawling in the background. Its the opposite of relaxing, its stressful yet it poses no challenge.

    Hell sometimes it is more efficient to get dragged away by the oil people. since its a random direction it could be in the direction you are heading towards.

    And then there is the world. Its made by an algorithm randomly placing assets. You constantly get stuck on geometry and clip on the terrain. The physics are equally screwed, your character can run down a near vertical slope sometimes and trip on a flat road with no obstacles other times.

    Eventually you unlock vehicles which also get constantly stuck on terrain but since they are so efficient. Its better to spend 20 Minutes jamming it up a mountain and then spend 20 minutes getting to your destination. Than it is spending 5 minutes climbing up the mountain and 1 hour getting to your destination.

    And after all that you are rewarded with an hologram saying "Thank You", that's it.

    And then there is the "action part". The bosses have no way of hurting you and all you do is unload bullets into a sponge. And their designs are dare I say less inspiring than Ubisoft like copy and past, its the same whale like monster Every Single Time.

    The acting in the actual cut-scenes are really good. But is squandered away with writing that constantly switches between powerful emotional mode and im14andthisisdeep mode. Not to mention the gameplay contributes almost nothing to the cut-scenes.

    Go watch the cuteness on Youtube, its better than playing the game.    … Expand

    Horrível, é só correr pra lá e pra cá. Chato demais, sem desafio, história extensa e cansativa, beira a imbecilidade. Em fim, um dos piores jogos que joguei

    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.
