    Death Stranding reinvents how video game design can work. It takes you through an experience you didn’t expect, doesn’t hold back with its design intentions and execution, and takes the gamer through a journey like no other. This is a masterpiece that only Kojima could pull off.

    The game contains extremely hard but simple gameplay and very strong philosophy in the same time.The game gives you time in your travels to think. It's like when you stop reading a book for a moment to think harder about it's main point, but it gives you some simple and physically hard gameplay which is not interrupting your thinking process. Not for everybody. For me - excellent.

    This was an absolutely incredible and mind blowing experience. Death stranding is unlike any other game out there so it's a bit unfair to judge it based the standards of most games. Kojima productions has created such an interesting world with a complex, emotional and captivating story that never siezes to amaze you. It also has graphics beyond any other game that is currently available.This was an absolutely incredible and mind blowing experience.

It also has graphics beyond any other game that is currently available. The game does start a bit slow but after a few hours it adds a lot of new and interesting mechanics such as the social strand system and the epic battles with giant creatures. Death Stranding is truly a unique experience and hopefully there will be more games like it in the future .… Expand

    Not every game have to be a Battle Royale or COD. Exploring different ideas and game type can be tough. Open your mind and discover a new world. You will not regret it.

    Kojima and his team, made a true masterpiece. He said that he created a new genre, and I can see that. He made what gamers don't like, a major gameplay part. I see on YouTube non gamer people being excited to play this, being confused and curious, and that encourage them to play more and more. This game can give you a head scratch, but it can reward you with everything you'll witness. YourKojima and his team, made a true masterpiece. He said that he created a new genre, and I can see that.

    This game is about grinding progress through a complex story which requires time, and attention, and empathy with the characters to really experience the game at its best form.

    Most people that downvoted this game is because they're just not used to these kind of games, and don't like to inmerse in a game that requires time to understand the story. People that downvoted are usually the ones that expected a fast paced online action shooter with a mediocre story easy to understand with no background or extra work to do to fully understand it.

    Its admirable that Kojima risked everything for this project and definetly this game is not what everyone expected, but its for sure something different. And i liked it.

    Philosophy, human nature, are some stuff that we rarely see in videogames, and EMPATHY is one of the best qualities you must have to understand the story and really enjoy it.    … Expand

    Death stranding é um jogo no qual a história prende você até o fim, a trilha sonora é incrível e os gráficos estão insanos. Recomendo fortemente esse game, muitas pessoas que estão dando críticas negativas nem se quer jogaram o jogo, alguns estão dando críticas negativas só porque o jogo vai sair para PC. Recomendo muito o game!

    The game is not for everyone, but it does not stop to contain a deep meaning. The mechanics of movement are very thoughtful and well-developed. Kojima made the most unusual AAA project.

    A slow paced epic! I loved this game from begging to middle to end, although the first hours are pretty slow, whenever it picks up it's pace it gets incredibly interesting and addicting. And the story... Oh God did I cried.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Мне просто нравятся такие игры и все. Поэтому десять. Шикарный саундрек (великолепный, невероятный, восхитительный!! Честно, ни в одной игре Вы такого саундтрека не услышите! Ни в одной!), хорошая постановка кат-сцен и любопытный сюжет (довольно интригующий, я уже наиграла часов десять, разобралась со всеми терминами, как и что там происходит, но черт возьми ничего не понятно, обычно в играх сначала объясняют в самом начале от чего произошла катастрофа и бросают игрока все исправлять, в этой же похоже все наоборот, сначала исправь, а потом суть катастрофы и объяснят, но мне это интересно! Феномен просто!). В общем, если вы любитель медленного медитативного геймплея, довольно однообразного, но под хорошую музыку, с запутанным сюжетом, вам нравится помогать людям в онлайне, и видеть результаты труда других людей, которые 100% Вам помогут, то вполне вероятно эта игра Вам понравится.

    Hay que ser objetivo y reconocer que tanto la música, la gráfica y la historia son un 10/10, respecto a la jugabilidad es innovadora, es dinámica y divertida.

Muchos dicen "pero si es ir del punto A al punto B" pero en Death Stranding no importa ni el punto A ni el punto B, sino, lo que hay entre ambos puntos... puedes hacer el recorrido de muchas formas distintas (faciles o dificiles) y realmente el sistema online potencia la travesía de una muy buena forma. Si se analiza este juego podría caer dentro de la categoría simulador (si..walking simulator, aunque trekking simulator es mas apropiado) y como todo simulador requiere paciencia, tranquilidad, estudio, preparación y práctica para lograr mejorar. Finalmente cuando logras entregar la carga de la misión y todas las cargas que te atreviste a recoger durante el trayecto te sientes realizado y mas aún cuando sabes que hay mas jugadores haciendo lo mismo y de alguna u otra forma hiciste su trayecto un poco mas fácil dejandoles una ayudita.

    Brillante y Hermoso.

    PD: Les recuerdo que en juegos como League of Legends, Fornite, Call Of duty, FIFA, etc haces siempre lo mismo una y otra vez... no muy alejado de ir de un punto A a un punto B 20 veces.    … Expand

    If you cant sit down for around 10 hours and truly give it time, don't buy it.

If you play this like a one player game without figuring out and taking advantage of the online features you will hate it. It's not meant to be played off line or single player.

    That being said, its the best game I've ever played. I say this as someone having gone from not really playing games anymore to at one point playing for 12 hours straight. Give it time and itll reward you. Play smart and it will reward you. If you wanna just check out and get happy feelings of accomplishment from the very start immediately try something else. If you want to truly enjoy this game theres a lot to like once you keep playing. Spoilers, very light: it is NOT what you get at the start. Its insane. I can see why general public vs game reviewers are so contrasting, though. People that dont need to push on might stop, which is a shame. Once it ramps up it ramps up. And once you're invested you're in it. I cant blame anyone for not wanting to continue, but I will say: you're seriously missing out not completing this.    … 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.
