    I'm not gonna spoil anything but once you stick through it, and I mean seriously stick through it, this is probably the most exceptional experience I've had with a game.

    Unusual for a blockbuster of the Central mechanics, amazing attention to detail, great soundtrack, interesting visual design. Kojima the best!

    Death Stranding was a game I was really looking foward to. But unfortunately, it's not what I expected.

    This game is "art", feel me? One of the emptiest open worlds ever conceived, mouthbreather world assets such as buildings, NPCs, wildlife, etc etc are a thing of the past, now they're replaced with little trigger points for you to "stumble" and run out of stamina, generators to charge vehicles the game is just not designed to accomodate, in a bland world devoid of    *Possible spoilers*

    This game is "art", feel me?
    One of the emptiest open worlds ever conceived, mouthbreather world assets such as buildings, NPCs, wildlife, etc etc are a thing of the past, now they're replaced with little trigger points for you to "stumble" and run out of stamina, generators to charge vehicles the game is just not designed to accomodate, in a bland world devoid of content.
    BUT, the lore justifies it. "It's art!"
    Gameplay is pathetic, it doesn't just figuratively spit in your face by making your endless slogs through the bland sandbox as irritating as possible, yet not deep and balanced enough to be engaging, but also has probably the most underwhelming, single-button masher, undercooked and unbalanced combat systems I've seen this generation.
    Oh and this time, "art" isn't there to convince the pseudo-intellectuals that it's simply meant to be this way.
    BTs and MULEs are so incapable of navigating their environments, of hurting the player or pose any kind of challenge that combat encounters are literally banal, WHILE the lore establishes these chickens as dangerous renegades and lovecraftian monstrosities.
    And you have a story that's convoluted, pseudo-intellectual, pretentious and dissonant beyond mortal belief.
    This is a game you watch a cutscene compliation of with your buddies to clown how bad everything about it is.
    The online element is at least somewhat refreshing, adds this sense of companionship and not being alone (and you need a LOT of that in this game).
    The graphics are nice and detailed, kind of a shame I stopped giving a **** about graphics after the PS3 era, that was probably the last time graphics were a "wow" factor for me, especially when the games supposed art direction is basically non-existent.    … Expand

    Одна из худших игр поколения и полное непонимание как создается геймплей. Сони могут нанять Кодзиме всех голливудских актеров,но они ни разу не сделают сам игровой процесс хоть сколько-нибудь интересным.

    После финальных титров Кодзима снова заставляет меня сидеть с открытым ртом. Стилистика, графика, музыка, герои - на наивысшем уровне! Одним из минусов лично для меня - это искусственная "затянутость" игры.

    Not recommended for battle type games player, but if you are up to rpgs or avgs or wants to have a unique experience unlike the mainstream aaa games, this game it is.    … Expand

    There is a lot of effort and a lack of sense of a good game. There are flaws that make you simply hate the game and honestly quite a few things simply to smooth the hate coming from ex Kojima's fanboys.

    Death Stranding is not a game. It is meant to be a movie, maybe a good one for some audience. Guys, just don't waste your time on it, it doesn't worth it at all.

    I loved the game and it was my first from kojima. I later played metal gear solid 1 and i loved that too. Death stranding is an amazing journey that will scare you, make you cry but also appreciate breathtaking landscame. The gameplay is a cool rpg but maybe the environment should have been upgraded with some animals

    El juego es raro y original, a mi al menos me gusto por esa parte, aunque se te puede hacer aburrido y se te hara aburrido recorrer el mapa como si fueras un repartidor, si te gustan las historias extrañas y originales es una muy buena compra

    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.
