    这是我至今为止玩过最棒的游戏！史无前例的游戏机制，超赞的剧情，行走在山间突然响起的异常应景的音乐，交付订单时的满足感，建筑被其他玩家点赞时的成就感，这一切简直太棒了！

    One of the most refreshing games I’ve ever played, started playing the moment it released at midnight last night & have played all day. It completely evokes the current cultural zeitgeist and has made me think about things in a different way.

    People have the nerve to complain about EA and Ubisoft pumping the same **** out every year and then when a truly original game comes along and challenges its audience you all cry about it. Sad!

    One of the best games that I have played. I prefer games that are more story focused. Some people may complain about the gameplay, but I personally don't mind it. The game handles very well in my opinion and the slow pace of it is very immersive to me. If you're looking for a story focused game with amazing graphics, characters, world, and soundtrack, I couldn't recommend this game more.One of the best games that I have played.

    If you're someone who loves using your brain and thinking like someone with intellect, then this game is probably for you. If not, then you're probably a casual gamer who likes to shoot stuff. Blah blah blah, you get the point.

    Death Stranding is a game that is, and always will be polarising. The 0 reviews are justified, unhelpful, but justified. There is very little combat, long cutscenes, and almost the entire game revolves around making arduous somewhat monotonous journeys to deliver parcels.

    There's no other game like it, both good and bad. Whether you'll like it has a lot to do with if you just enjoy doing things and challenging yourself to do it. Honestly I give it a 10 but can see why it's divisive. For me, though, it's the game I've wanted for a while.

    This game is one of the most polarizing experiences of this generation, but looking at the user score critics here I can tell none of them have actually finished the entire game. This is Kojima's best work to date.

    Fantastic and brave. What could have been simply a Fedex simulator is lush due to the "strand" factor that makes the world feel like it's expanding a bit more with every advancement and every delivery. What I found most surprising was not the level of details that Kojima infuses into his games (what you can pick up, animations and interactions) but more the cooperative factor from otherFantastic and brave.

What I found most surprising was not the level of details that Kojima infuses into his games (what you can pick up, animations and interactions) but more the cooperative factor from other gamers (Dark Souls). Placing helpful signs, cheering people on, leaving gifts...Seeing a new bridge pop up or pitching in materials to finish up a structure is fun and keeps giving you reasons to grab just one...more...delivery. The genius of the game is the zen like moments it creates (should you choose to embrace the atmosphere) and then the hard shifts when you're spotted by MULES or stumble upon BT territory and the ante goes up.

    Again, kudos to Kojima. It's not a "perfect" game. It's a brave game in a world that is ever tempted to give into producing the same old rehashed shooters and open world games that try to throw so much at you but never really make it feel like it mattered. Akin to popcorn Summer blockbusters. They're fun and necessary. But so are art house films that make you feel something deeper or remind you of why you love cinema (gaming in this case).

    You'll probably know if this game is for you by now. If you're just starting, get to Chapter 3. Echoing what other outlets are saying, things probably hit their stride there for most people though I found the early two chapters nowhere near as monotonous as people were saying early on. I hope to see more risks taken like this from developers in the future. This is the first game in the nearly 35 years I've been playing them since the early Nintendo days that reminded me that brave ideas make for the most memorable experiences.

    It's a very different kind of videogame : But IT IS GOOD. Level design is incredible, graphics are one of the best i've seen on a regular ps4. Gameplay is weird but very fresh, stealth parts are great and happen more often than I thought so. Cutscenes and storywise, it's going to keep you hooked.

    This game is intertwined with the film. When you watch a cut scene, sometimes you get inspired by the speech of the heroes. The game in my opinion turned out to be ideal

    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.
