    Su audaz propuesta jugable - ser un repartidor en un mundo devastado tras una catástrofe - me resulta adictiva y entretenida a su manera. Es en ocasiones, un ejercicio meditativo, en soledad, donde llegar a la meta es un camino arduo y exhausto, aunque también tiene su planificación entre tanta lucha desesperada contra fuerzas antagónicas que escapan de nuestro control.

    Kojima habla de mucho en este juego. Me sobra algo de metraje y ciertos monólogos cargados de exposición se me hacen excesivos y redundantes, su villano me resulta plano y creo que el tutorial está mal estructurado con la trama (los capítulos 2 y 3 son imperdonablemente largos) pero a pesar de todo, termino Death Stranding emocionado y tremendamente satisfecho ante lo que me parece un triunfo de un gran creador.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Diante de tantas opiniões divergentes, comprei o jogo (na oferta) para ter a minha própria opinião. O jogo é muito bom! Não é apenas "ficar andando de um lado para o outro." Você tem que ter planejamento das ações, avaliar o melhor caminho a seguir, ter uma ordem racional e eficaz de entregas, saber utilizar os inúmeros recursos que o jogo dispõe para facilitar a jornada (veículos, roupas especiais, trator flutuante), saber lidar com as condições temporais e com o desgaste natural dos objetos. Realmente, não é "divertido" em um senso comum, e além disso é um jogo lento e contemplativo. Ao mesmo tempo é bastante viciante. Entendo quem acha o jogo ruim, as vezes o jogo cria dificuldades desnecessárias, como aquela falha geológica gigante no solo.
    O jogo lembra muito STATE OF DECAY 2 do Xbox One. Um terceiro jogo que misturasse as duas coisas boas desses dois jogos seria perfeito!    … Expand

    Death Stranding é o jogo mais original, diferente e emblemático que joguei até hoje. Ou você ama ou odeia, eu amei. Independente de alguns problemas no ritmo de jogo, nunca imaginei que fazer entregas fosse tão prazeroso e divertido. Realmente é um jogo que polariza muito as opiniões, quem não faz o mínimo de esforço pra entender todo o conceito irá detestá-lo, o que é uma pena.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s a shame that some people get put off the the slow gameplay at the start as this is such a great game! Once the story kicks off towards the end of chapter 3 it becomes much less of a walking simulator and d quite a deep heartfelt story about connection in a fragmented world. The ending is very emotional and it’ll definitely take me a while to get over this game.… Expand

    Кодзима смог придумать действительно нечно новое в игровой индустрии. "Симулятор курьера" шутили игроки. Но ведь так и есть, игру надо расценивать как очень качественный симулятор: планирование маршрута, распределение груза, качественная симуляция ходьбы, особенно по пересеченной местности, взаимодействие с другими игроками посредством построек и лайков - вот в чем главная фишка игры.

Всё это приправлено прекрасным сюжетом в стиле Кодзимы, кинематографичными кат-сценами, великолепными саундтреками, и в целом ощущения спокойствия, медитативности (не всегда конечно, но в большей части времени). Из минусов я отмечу: физику транспорта, хоть иногда "залезать" на мотоцикле на скалы было и весело и необходимо; тупой ИИ МУЛов и террористов, хотя скрыться от них тяжело; несколько моментов игры, где надо было "играть в шутер", а стрельба не очень удобная, да и 30 фпс.
    Понимаю, почему многим не зашел геймплей, и он для них стал дико скучным, но это же не повод ставить очень низкие оценки. Игра ведь сделана очень качественно, лично меня она очень затянула именно своим необычным геймплеем, и я планирую выбить платину    … Expand

    It's understandable why Death Stranding is not for many people, given its gameplay concept of delivering cargo to places.

I actually enjoyed the act of playing this gameIt's understandable why Death Stranding is not for many people, given its gameplay concept of delivering cargo to places. But if one can buy into it, like I did, then it will be a most memorable experience. The presentation of the game is phenomenal, it shows that Kojima is still at his usual form for crafting unique and cinematic games. I actually enjoyed the act of playing this game because of how unique it is. It was almost relaxing to walk across the rough terrain as Sam Porter Bridges. The mechanics are simple and effective for the most part. Managing the cargo can be a pain at times, but if the game and its world make that connection with you it will be merely an aspect of the gameplay and not a flaw. The game definitely isn't perfect technically, it could use some tidying up in areas, such as organizationally in accessing materials and obtaining vehicles. So the cargo management in this sense has its flaws. The combat is pretty fun, though it is quite easy and one-dimensional at times. For instance, using stealth in 'Mule' sections never really presented itself as an option to me. I almost always had to fight them directly, so that became sort of tedious and monotonous. But aside from the problems, the real emphasis of the game anyway is in its mysterious and thought-provoking story and world. The characters you meet are highly realized and have interesting back stories that you uncover. The atmosphere of the world is incredible, with great sound and visuals. The 'BT' encounters are eerie and intense. The whole game forms into an impressive work of art. If you can find the time to stick with it, as it will draw on and on (though it never gets dull), the final chapters of the game might be the greatest part of the game. It is worth playing to the end because of how satisfyingly the game ties itself up. This is probably one of the most under appreciated games I've played. But again, this statement only has validity to those who don't abhor the gameplay. It requires a different mindset to play than your typical shooting game. It challenged me and made me think in a way that no other game has. It's not for everyone and at times I didn't really love it, but its original style and feel made me appreciate the experience.… Expand

Сколько всего было придумано для игры, словами не передать, нужно играть.

    Сюжет интересный и подается дозировано и в целом понятно, время от времени игровой процесс прерывается на десятки минут и ты сидишь и смотришь кино, потому что графика на очень высоком уровне.

    Социальная сторона тоже очень кайфово сделана, все эти ништяки, созданные другими игроками очень облегчают прохождение, и приходятся очень кстати, сколько сотен часов будет прохождение игры без этой помощи даже представить страшно.

    Я большой фанат игр от Quantic Dream, там тоже огромное место отводится сюжету, и меня
    DEATH STRANDING очень впечатлил.

    Геймплей тоже в порядке, на первый взгляд - ходи туда-сюда, доставляй грузы, но это не так просто. Геймплей меняется, и он не становится сложнее, так как появляются новые возможности, та же дорога с автомобилями, это было прям кайфово, ее отстроить )

    В общем, если вы любите игры, где нужно думать, где есть интересный сюжет и некий элемент чилла, потому как пересечь гору на своих двух по колено в снегу... это требует выдержки. Игра отличная, даже несмотря на мелочи, вроде бесконечных катсцен сдачи и взятия груза, включение визора тварей... все это нисколько не портит ощущение от игры.    … 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.
