    Thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Even the gameplay. It was odd at first and I thought I wouldn't enjoy it, but it was actually pretty enjoyable after a while. Also the story and music was top notch. The ending also made me cry. Not everyone's cup of tea but it sure was mine.

    Самый последний забег позволяет пустить скупую слезу,но уже не хиральную,а добытую по естественной причине.
    Никогда бы не подумал что игра,где основная цель-это доставка грузов может быть интересной.    … Expand

    Frustrating, but also very satisfying. It's strange how this game can cause both emotions to co-exist. It's also quite reassuring to know (and see through structures) that you're not playing alone. The landscape is chilling and terrifying, and the long stretches you have to traverse by foot really make your adrenaline pump when you encounter BTs.

    Game was something new for me, loved the environment, story was different. But I still enjoyed it.
    I like to just take my time with certain games, and this game did it for me.

    But I wont play it again.

    Game is a bit boring, but it's like meditation, u need to feel it.

    everything is great regarding tech part, story is long, and that's okay.

    Visually this is stunning. The story is unique and unlike anything I've played before. It's a bit of a walk simulator and a bit confusing at times, but I like it.

    One of the best games which I've ever played. Completely new gameplay and experience. I spend around 50 hours on this game. This game not for all, but it is perfectly much with my needs.

    Очень необычная игра, мне очень понравилась. Классный сюжет который трогает за душу, музыка, геймплей хороший, хотелось бы увидеть такой геймплей в сеттинге изучения других планет. Есть моменты которые не нравятся, (физика транспорта, продолжительность можно было смело 40% игры убрать больше прямых участков и получился бы шедевр.)Очень необычная игра, мне очень понравилась.

    Un juegazo me a gustado mucho recomiendo probar este juego porque es toda una experiencia, los gráficos de 10 fotorealismo, la música escogida por Kojima es excelente, los detalles y cero bugs han hecho que disfrute de este juego por mas de 80 horas, ahora bien lo mas criticable es el gameplay que es ir de un sitio a otro entregando paquetes que se hace pesado después de muchas entregasUn juegazo me a gustado mucho recomiendo probar este juego porque es toda una experiencia, los gráficos de 10 fotorealismo, la música escogida por Kojima es excelente, los detalles y cero bugs han hecho que disfrute de este juego por mas de 80 horas, ahora bien lo mas criticable es el gameplay que es ir de un sitio a otro entregando paquetes que se hace pesado después de muchas entregas pero gratificante cuando te dan nuevos objetos que facilitan tu andar incluso en las misiones segundarías logre encontrar motivación; este juego es distinto y por la experiencia que te da agradezco a Kojima !!!… Expand

    a lot of long cutscenes, Kojima tried in earnest, sometimes it is boring and drawn out, but all the same, I think it deserves 10/10

    Well... what i can say? If you looking for amazing shooter game, this game is not for you.

It is one of those games that people will either hate or like. This game in any case needs you to be patient and go slow. You play as Sam, who transports and delivers orders from city to city and for the most part he does it on foot. I have seen that many people described this game as a walking simulator and it is something like that, in a way. You will have to take care about the way you carry packages, how many of them you carry… You will have to think about necessary equipment such as ladders, ropes and other things that will be helpful while climbing high mountains; the terrain won't be too friendly for a walker and the game can be quite tricky occasionally. If you are not very careful you can fall easily and brake your cargo.

    Now, walking won't be the only thing you do in this open world game. Later in the game you will be able to use vehicles and transport bigger amounts of cargo but still, you won't be able to go everywhere by a car. If you dedicate yourself and look for materials and other supplies, you will be able to rebuild roads in this post-apocalyptic world, which will make your driving much faster easier. However, there will still be destinations and locations that will be reachable only on foot.

    This is something that the game does very well, it challenges you and makes you constantly fight with the nature and terrain. What the games does not too well is the combat. It is not horrible, it is rather… not the best I have experienced in video games. Direct conflicts with guns were always quite hard, especially the aiming. The good thing is that the shooting is for the most part only an optional way to go. You can do almost everything in stealth mode and you can completely avoid most of the enemies. I think that the stealth mode is much better done than the actual combat with fire weapons.

    Visually, this game looks good. The nature of the world looks maybe too similar but still, I do not see this as an issue. You will walk through sort of green valleys, burnt valleys, climb rock mountains and later in the game see mountains covered in snow. Since it is a post-apocalyptic world hit by a huge disaster it is not really expectable to see colourful beautiful landscapes.

    The story is pretty weird and I cannot really say much about it without spoiling it. Roughly, it is a post-apocalyptic setting in the almost completely empty world where a strange sort of rain and snowfall called the Timefall, which causes fast aging to everything it touches. The story is fairly interesting but I think it is far from a masterwork.    … Expand

    i cant universally recommend this game because it isnt entitely a game the phrase walking simulator comes to mind.. there have been a lot of games i nthe last decade that are more narrative driven than play driven and this is one of them. however if you like that sort of thing the visuals and concepts are superb and the actors are great. it might be too esoteric if its the one thing youi cant universally recommend this game because it isnt entitely a game the phrase walking simulator comes to mind.. there have been a lot of games i nthe last decade that are more narrative driven than play driven and this is one of them. however if you like that sort of thing the visuals and concepts are superb and the actors are great. it might be too esoteric if its the one thing you get to play which is why i skipped it at launch but recently with extra time on my hands i decided to give it a try and im glad i did… 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.
