    The ending wasn’t the best thing in the world, but the time I spent playing the game gave me a lot of joy, warmth and unity I never thought I’d get and feel from strangers who helped me with their constructions and signs in the game.

Fin dai primi passi si può percepire che questo titolo potrai amarlo od odiarlo a seconda di come lo si gioca. Hideo Kojima ci ha sempre stupiti a livello di qualità e story telling, una trama che a questo giro risulta essere estremamente attuale. Il Decima Engine viene spremuto fino al midollo permettendo di goderci alcuni dei panorami videoludici più incredibili mai visti prima d'ora. Impersoneremo Sam Porter Bridges, un corriere che deve viaggiare vesto Ovest consegnando pacchi contenenti viver, equipaggiamento e quant'altro. Il gameplay risulta fin da subito lento, lentissimo. Avremo poche risorse ed i primi capitoli potrebbero risultare davvero snervanti. Appena riusciremo a prendere dimestichezza con il nostro corriere acquisendo con il passare del tempo più equipaggiamenti per facilitarci il viaggio, il gioco esplode letteralmente diventando una vera e propria droga. La Lore del gioco può essere imparata attraverso dei file estremamente riusciti, la trama risulta essere vera e fuori di cervello. Death Stranding non è assolutamente perfetto, le missioni secondarie risultano alle volte stressanti e poco divertenti. il suo stile non piacerà a molti e con molta probabilità verrà bocciato dalla maggior parte dei videogiocatori di tutto il mondo ma c'è da dire che Kojima è riuscito ancora una volta a creare qualcosa di unico nel mondo del gaming moderno… Expand

    Loved this game and the graphics were stunning. My only complaint is that the combat is off. It doesn't flow naturally. However, I found myself invested in the story and the gameplay otherwise was good.

It has a complex story with new and creative ideas which touches upon humanity and life and death itself.

    The only downside about this game is that it gets a little repetitive with some fetching quests and travelling from one location to another many times which could be made exciting by using traversal mechanics and tools/structures the game offers you.    … Expand

In terms of gameplay, it does not look entertaining, but once you give it a chance you become invested in the story, its characters and the world they live in. You know this game is good when you suddenly have the desire to take on the time-consuming and laborious task of delivering packages across the various regions, going through snowy mountains and enemy-occupied areas simply to rebuild this fictional post-apocalyptic world and reclaim its loss of humanity. As you start to reach out to more and more settlements and rebuild the links between them, violence and despair are gradually replaced, as a sense of belonging starts to emerge and we are reminded of the importance of caring for one another, and especially so in the post-apocalyptic and broken world of Death Stranding. The game challenges you, forces you to find meaning in the otherwise meaningless and toilsome Sisyphean task of delivering packages between people, and encourages you to care about a world that you might otherwise pay no attention to.

    The gameplay, with its amazing graphics and sound, is a solid 8,5/10

    - players can help each other

    Cons:
    - gameplay is repetitive and boring
    - BTs aren't challenging even on hardest difficulty

The mechanics of the game are not on the "kojima standard" and this is the main reason behind the 9/10. Shooting is ok, but you always reconsider your choice to do it, of course when not needed. In general, you get what you were promised, an existential question from kojima, a story that explores the untold fears and the darkest corners of the human brain, a tale of the excistence itself, the destruction that we may bring with our careless behaviour against any form of life. So yes, it is a controversial game, and yes it sometimes gets you to think of the walking simulator joke, but nonetheless, it is, most of all, an experience. You dive in and it stays with you forever, the feeling, the questions.… Expand

    Being interested in Kojima's separate career from Konami I followed with eager the development and periodical announcements of this game. Of course, as most of us, the story and gameplay intrigued me. I could not play the game after six months of its release and at the time I realized that there were divided opinions.

You deliver, and deliver,    Being interested in Kojima's separate career from Konami I followed with eager the development and periodical announcements of this game. Of course, as most of us, the story and gameplay intrigued me. I could not play the game after six months of its release and at the time I realized that there were divided opinions.
    At first, the game is routine and repetitive. You deliver, and deliver, and deliver. Yes, the landscape in which you traverse each mission is comparable to any Icelandic landscape you see in documentaries, so every delivery is an eyegasm. This part of the game is critical. If you decide that you are not into a delivery simulation gameplay you will throw away one of the most immersive and scientifically satisfying stories you can get in a video game (a remark: I'm not saying scientifically accurate).
    After a quarter to a third of the game-run, the routine starts to entangle the complexity of each mission and their relationship with the story of your character and the entire world. Each time you think you are getting the hang of the missions you get surprised by the increasing menaces (and weight) that's expecting you around the corner. Each time you think you understand the explaining behind the whole setting of Death Stranding you are amazed by each data you collect and the NPC share with you, changing your previous understanding (and perhaps, if you are open-minded, your idea of the real-life itself).
    If you are expecting a game based in action, stealth, and character customization (such as previous Hideo Kojima's MGS videogame saga) you will not find it in Death Stranding. Whereas if you are trying to find a revealing game, a "gamechanger", a "different" game, Death Stranding it is (a remark: the previous statement does not mean that the game lacks in action and stealth, it's just that it is not filled with them).
    In conclusion, nowadays there are tons of action-filled games (and good games, such as Horizon, Zelda BoTW, God of War, TLoU), Death Stranding is not one of them. Complex stories, the ones that leave you thinking over and over in the toilet and shower (such as Christopher Nolan's film Interstellar) are the ones we are lacking today, and not everyone are ready for it, less they are ready to play that story in a videogame. And Death Stranding is one of the latter.    … Expand

Sin embargo, puede considerarse muy larga y no es hasta el último tercio del juego que se entiende con claridad de qué se trata la historia. La jugabilidad es entretenida, pero lo principal que debes hacer es efectuar deliveries, lo que lo torna un tanto aburrido después de jugarlo unas horas. A pesar de ello, los gráficos y cinemáticas están muy bien hechas, lo que es fiel al estilo de Hideo Kojima como director de videojuegos. Recomiendo jugarlo, pero hazte el tiempo, ya que es bastante largo.… 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.
