It has unique gameplay mechanics, great graphics & sound and an Original story that will keep you seated for a lot of time. The below 7 score is just too "trolly" for my taste and also ruins the creative attempt of the creator. PLEASE don't follow the negative hype that has been created. Many games if not the most part of gaming includes a specific pattern that regards gameplay. For example in games like Diablo you loot, then loot again, and again and again. You see, this for many other people can be as "boring" as just "walking around". So, I'm not going to use any of these stereotypes to make Death Stranding look good or bad.
    Let's start with simple things. First of all, good GAMEPLAY is something that truly works with the general idea of a game and that the latter benefits from all this. Guess what? Death Stranding works greatly with this type of gameplay mechanic. In this game, you have to think while walking. You'll have to think about the steps you're taking. Although this will not seem interesting enough and too minimal for some people, believe me, it creates a New World. You have to think about the road you're going to take, micro-manage every piece of cargo in a smart way and adding to these you have to think of the terrain and weather conditions... You see... you're a tiny Man in the middle of nowhere. The vast lands, edgy mountain rocks (that get very slippy when it's raining) are your enemies. There are more "natural" enemies too of course and especially the BT's will transform the game in a much scarier experience. The only thing that I would consider a problem are the controls that some times lack precision. But it's happening in a very minor proportion, so it's really not a huge issue. IF YOU LIKE to play a good written-unique-delicate game it's going to be a 10/10. Believe me, there's nothing else like this out in the market right now. I'm going with a 9.5 and that's because as I said there are some minor problems with the controls from time to time. MY FRIENDLY OPINION is that you should actually play this, give it time to grow in you. Don't get drawn by impulsive opinions.

    *I'M GOING TO COVER this definitely the next days with a User-Friendly Video Review.*

    It's fantastic! The best game of this generation, it's fresh, it's bold, its breathtaking visuals are simply out of this world, the story is really interesting and intelligent in all of its weirdness. For those sensitive and intellectual enough it is also a great existential statement about the current state of our world and scoeity. A must-play game!

    Maybe it’s me but I deadset don’t understand why so many people are not fans of the game.

    It’s cinematically beautiful, has an incredibly immersive storyline and is quintessentially Kojima!

    I’ll start by saying this.... If you love movies and games, Death Stranding is for you. It seems that the battle royale and FPS have really dragged down the expectations of what makes a good game. Seems too much impatience to be able to delve into an immersive game. To take breaks and enjoy the art. Enjoying a masterpiece story. The underlying message. Death Stranding does just that. ItI’ll start by saying this....

It sucks you in and holds on to you. After continuous 12 hour play I will say that I believe it was done purposefully for you to hone your skills with the controller. As the game progresses, there’s no rush to get it perfected. It’s like Kojima wanted you to grow with the game. Quite brilliant, actually.

    The voice acting is superb! The graphics stunning! I feel that Kojimas love of cinema and games played a HUGE factor in this creation. Looking forward to building more strands and building a community where everyone helps everyone. Not the later that has become today’s world.    … Expand

    Beautiful scenery amazing story and engaging gameplay. Whoever is not liking this game is because they were dumb enough to buy a game without knowing what the game was. It's like buying tetris and complaining that it isn't call of duty. Next time do some research on what you're buying before you do and don't criticize a game just because it's not the game you wanted to buy.

    This game is beautifully made and well done. For me, its exciting and a fresh new way to play. The pacing isgood for those who are PATIENT. And I am in love with the story. It is unusually reminiscient of Silent Hills with its twisty and almost horror like story! I hope people learn to recconect and not just review bomb a genuinely good game and a work of art.

    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.
