    Lo más aburrido que he jugado los últimos años, sobrevalorado totalmente, hubiese esperado para comprarlo a 30$ en el blackfriday, decepcionante, lento, cinemáticas largas, tiene varios Bugs, el mundo está muy vacío, nivel de diversión 0. No daré spoilers pero la historia no es nada original. Horizon tiene mejores gráficos.

    Um completo lixo, um jogo vazio sem absolutamente nada para ser feito, só entregar algo do ponto A ou ponto B.
    Uma ideia idiota de um japonês comunista maconheir0 supervalorizado e carregado nas costas pela mídia. "Gênio" mono jogo.
    Me poupe desse lixo de jogo

    This is a movie is not a videogame, it is really boring at least the first 15 hours are terribly boring, graphically it's very good but it's not a good videogame , don't buy it.

    This game is overrated. Online mechanics clearly stolen from souls and I don't understand about what "new genre" Kojima was talking about. Walking sims are not new and there is no any unique aspects in the game.

    Verdaderamente muy decepcionado, nada innovador ni un nuevo genero como se prometía,sinceramente, no parece un juego, se centraron tanto en la historia que olvidaron que es un JUEGO y no una película,una pérdida de dinero si lo preguntas

    This is THE most pretentious, vain, piece of trash yet to be published on the PS4. Kojima is in dire need of a handler, someone to tell him “no” at ever decision. Gameplay is boring, period. Walking and ladders, snooooozzzfest. That’s all anyone needs to know. And the story is some insufferable BS. At best its low level soap opera garbage.

Save your money, pass.
    I only gave it a 1 because it didn't immediately crash to the dashboard.

    Outstanding game! Didn’t know what to expect and I had such a blast with it. The fact that I can play and enjoy this game at my own pace is amazing. For the cons the gameplay feels a bit clunky at times. But other than that It’s stellar. It’s good to see an AAA game trying to do something different and not stick to what other mainstream games do.

    Take the worst open world missions and make it a game based solely on that. It's a very bad concept even trying to justify that by a B movie scenario.

    El juego más aburrido y repetitivo que he visto jamás en mi vida. Las mecánicas son siempre las mismas, un mundo que tiene, precisamente, una calidad gráfica muy alta porque esta VACÍO. La historia, que a priori parece interesante y entretenida, debido a su absurdo gamaplay y la cantidad de cinemáticas y tutoriales, deja de merecer la pena. Un completo fracaso de "videojuego".

    Las cinemáticas al comienzo del juego son excesivas, pero después pasas mas de 8 horas haciendo misiones repetitivas de entrega, donde lo mas emocionante es esquivas a las criaturas y pelear contra npcs con ias mediocres. Todo esto solo buscando como expandir aun mas el juego.
    La historia es buena, pero no es sublime, no esta al nivel de profundidad de otros grandes exclusivos de ps4.
    La vergonzosa muestra de publicidad inunda el juego, este juego fue hecho para promocionar productos y empresas que para divertir a los usuarios. Tiene mecánicas muy buenas y muy bien logradas pero no sirve para absolutamente nada.
    El mundo esta completamente muerto, solo musgo, rocas, unos cuantos arboles, el único animal sale en una cinemática. Este juego es insufrible, une las mejores mecánicas posibles para cosas tan vanas y tiene mecánicas mediocres para cosas que deberían ser importantes.
    Este juego es un desperdicio de dinero y tiempo, no es un juego de nicho, es simplemente un mal juego.

    I find it disappointing. 40 hours in and it's pretty much a repetitive game. I like taking time on game and not to rush things but this just feels bland. Everything feels empty tbh. The world design is great and the physics in this game is ok I guess.

    The entire game is an insult. It’s supposed to be this high brow, high IQ art film. But it all it is, is a failure as a game. Let the userscore be your guide.

    Disappointing truly. Beautiful games. The decima engine is incredible. But the bland A to B missions and awful gameplay mechanics ruin the experience. He couldn't decide to make either a film or a game.

    It has very good graphics, even good cinematics, but if the gameplay is boring, they could have introduced more action moments, shots, to give more life to the game's theme, this weighs more than good graphics and it also seems to me that they are excessively Long cinematics.

    es lamentable que se haya centrado en una historia simplona y se olvidara de lo que realmente importa el cual es hacer un video juego, en ese caso se hubiera centrado en hacer una película y gasta menos y estoy seguro gana algún Oscar.

    I love Kojima for Metal Gear, but this game just shows that you can't let him do a game if the gameplay doesn't carry his weird ideas.
    The Story might be good and some will play to see it unfold, but everything in between is boring and tedious. You get new stuff to make the deliverys easier and better, but its not enough to make this walking simulator fun.
    The combat is also boring and

    The combat is also boring and really basic, the first boss you encounter is so easy that you can't even die to it when you stand still.
    Graphics look nice, but everything looks very sameish. The menuing in the game or just the fast travel are also very tedious.
    Overall i would say this game also shows perfectly the sad state of game journalism. Giving highscores even when the review didn't read perfect at all or they say that the walking is not fun and boring.
    I would say try it yourself if you really want to play the new Kojima game and are a fan of him, but overall the game has just the weakest gameplay of this generation.

    That's why it was fired by Konami. Empty game, just talk and go from one point to another. That must be why Kojima hid the game so much.

    Tiene una trama interesante pero tiene muchas cinematicas y eso para mi es una basura, ya que es un videojuego no una pelicula interactiva. Y la jugabilidad es muy sencilla, aparte de un mundo abierto muy vacio y tedioso, todo esto convirtiendolo muy aburrido y estrezante.

    Death Stranding is a beautifully designed game with some complex and fascinating game mechanics, and an intriguing story. It's your fault you expected something else, not Kojima's. It was quite clear from a while you'd be playing a role of a delivery man involved in uniting America. If you expected a different type of game, why did you even bother playing DS!?

If you expected a different type of game, why did you even bother playing DS!? Should I give Call of Duty zero, because - let's say - I expected it to be a turn-based RPG but with guns.

    Death Stranding is more than a game. It's an experience. It's a gaming version of poetry. For people who like to think, relax while playing, listen to beautiful music, explore.

If you are playing a game just to get “prestige mode” or grind to unlock a skin like cod or something then this isnt for you.

Death Stranding is so advanced its mechanics become real and it is less like a “game” and more like a simulation. Its so realistic that simply plotting your route becomes a game in itself full of challenges that you would encounter in real life. It causes you to have to think like you are really there and you forget you are playing a game. I spent hours last night and lost track of time. Best game ive ever played. I actually fell asleep and dreamed Deadman was showing me my BB-Pod. If you are a gamer that cares about experience then this us for you. Otherwise go play cod and candy crush. 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.
