    A great and engaging story with fun game-play implementation. The world truly feels haunting and lonely which adds a lot to the experience.

    I was really hyped for this game but still it managed to surprise. It has beautiful graphics, excellent performances from All the actors, “Mads Mickelson” and “Tommy Earl Jenkins” we’re standout for me. and as sci-fi nerd, I loved the story. I have heard people complain about the gameplay but it was just right for me and I enjoyed the loop.

    This game is just amazing. Everything is awesome, good to look and balanced. The gameplay is “always” the same but is pretty funny because you have full control on own your actions.

    The game is simply great. It is certainly not for all types of players, but for those who enjoy a great atmosphere, good music and interesting characters with unusual dialogues. Yes, it is not perfect, and sometimes it feels repetitive, but it is compensated by the great development of the story and the great performances of the protagonists.

The Gameplay loop is genius and 10 entire leagues above any ow game from ubisoft. This Kojimas Magnum Opus. What a time to be alive to play such a perfect Game. I give it 10/10 and dont read spoilers we will speak about this game and the story for many years.    … Expand

    Exactly the game I was expecting, and i couldn't be more excited to play something different for a change. For years now I've wanted something to rival the experiences that MGS left with me. I can gladly and wholeheartedly say this is what I wanted and more. Super refreshing to have a change of pace.

    I enjoyed the game a lot. Its like meditating and living the game. As kojima said this is a new genre and dont listen to the reviews, just play it. You might love it. But i can tell you will get an utmost satisfaction after completing the game and it will stay with you for years to come.

    If you play the game good you will enjoy it. If you play it bad you fall and you cant enjoy. I had read many reviews and most of them are saying the baby is crying and there is nothing but walking. What i say is baby cries when you play bad and there are multiple ways you can make your own path to complete a mission and after a Long stretch you feel the satisfaction if you played it well.
    Yes sometimes the gameplay gets repetitive but you will find peace in it and that repetitive ness will never stop you from playing it. Death stranding is a masterful creation where it stands on its own starting a gateway to new genre and stays with you for years to come!    … Expand

A type of game where I turn on a podcast and just go about my missions. The combat is a bit shallow and too far in between and during some side missions where the world seems empty, it REALLY feels like it. There's a **** of small details, there's no way i'll probably ever see them all.

    Currently playing on a regular PS4, digital version. Haven't ran into any crashes, weird bugs, or game breaking glitches. But im sure they are there. This game is too big NOT too have them.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Every review/rating that calls this game a walking simulator has not played past the 5-8 hour mark.
    FACT
    After that time you rarely walk and when you do, your walking is enhanced by various different tools. Also, the game is as polished as God of War was when it released. You'll have a hard time finding a game that runs this smooth without any hiccups, crashes, glitches and so on.

    The menus feel a little overwhelming when you first start out, but as you get to know and navigate them, everything makes sense.

    This game creates a level of immersion that I haven't felt in a video game before. Even though the game is in 3rd person, you feel like you are Sam Porter Bridges.

    Another thing I really like is the attention to detail when it comes to weapons, gimmicks l, quality of life improvements and vehicles. You get so much cool stuff, you'll have a hard time picking the tools you want to use.

    The style is the best part. If you liked the metal gear series, it is most likely because you like the way Kojima makes his creations look on screen. The characters and the vehicles all look so cool. I wasn't going to review the game, but seeing it sitting at 5.9 user score is beyond ridiculous. It is above a 9.5/10 easy. I'm so glad I get to play this awesome game and seeing it being downvoted by, I don't know what to call these people, is just sad.
    It's disrespectful towards a free and creative mind like Kojima. This dude is a blessing for the gaming community.

    Don't let anybody fool you. If you like open world,
    If you like post apocalypse,
    If you like single player games,
    If you like Kojima's style,

    This game is an absolute must have in anybody's collection.
    Among the top 10 of this generation, hands down.

    P.s. I've played some more and am in the montains now. This game is just too cool    … Expand

    (ATENCIÓN, ANÁLISIS EN PROCESO) No puedo decir que el juego sea de 10 sin terminarlo, pero mis impresiones por ahora son de 10, dicho esto, al asunto que vamos.

    Lo que veo es demasiada gente echándole pestes a un juego por no tener combates, por no tener la suficiente acción, etc. Pero creo que a estas críticas no deberías de hacerle mucho caso, y te explico porqué: ESTE JUEGO NO ES PARA TODO EL MUNDO, Y TAMPOCO PRETENDE SER UN JUEGO DE ACCIÓN.
    El ritmo lento y la "monotonia" es la tónica del juego, pero que esto no te engañe como un punto negativo, aunque habrá gente que así lo vea (Porque repito, no es un juego de acción ni para todo pichi) Aquí realmente está la miga del juego y donde realmente es fresco, y no encontrarás nada igual en cuanto a gameplay. El juego transmite tranquilidad por cada uno de los poros, si eres el tipo de jugador que se jugó Journey y le encantó la experiencia, Death Stranding te va a enamorar, si eres el tipo de jugador que le gusta probar y experimentar con nuevas mecánicas, te va a gustar, y si eres una persona que sólo juega a Shooters y juegos en los que se transmite la sensación de recompensa rápida, lo vas a odiar con todas tus fuerzas. Yo no me canso de andar y observar unos paisajes dignos de un portento gráfico apabullante, de conectar con otras personas y ayudarnos unos a otros a completar este viaje y no, no me resulta repetitivo en absoluto y sólo por una razón: Lo disfruto. Es un juego que desde mi punto de vista es inviable que te parezca divertido al verlo en Streaming, pero que una vez coges los mandos te transporta directamente a su mundo y te hace pensar y meditar sobre el mismo. No te creas lo que digan los análisis negativos, ni tampoco los positivos como el mío, sólo quien lo prueba y realmente entiende que es una experiencia nueva puede dar su opinión, ya sea negativa o positiva, ambas totalmente respetables. Por ahora, me toca continuar mi viaje y al final de este volveré por aquí a dar mi veredicto final.    … Expand

    رائعة وشيء مختلف عن عن ما تعودنا عليه .. تذكرني بصناعة الألعاب في زمن البلايستيشن الأول عندما كان التوجه التجاري أقل من الآن وكانت الألعاب تختلف عن بعضها كثيراً وكانت كل فئة من فئات الألعاب لها جمهورها الخاص بها ، ثم أتى السُّعار التجاري ودخل الآكشن بكل الألعاب وأصبحت كل الألعاب تشبه بعضها.

    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.
