    Kojima is a great designer and author but the game isnt fun at all its just a walkin simulator or sending packages sim

    im a hog for kojima games. this is no exception. many see the gameplay as a big downside and i understand that, but personally, I really liked the minimalist design and simply enjoying the environments while walking a massive expanse. not only that but the story is as goofy as youd expect from kojima.

    Simplemente una obra maestra que no muchos podrán apreciar, la forma increible en la que se narra la historia, el mundo genial e inmersivo y junto a las mecanicas casi perfectas, hacen de este juego una brutal experiencia

    The absolute best game I've played. I hike for my job and also have to carry equipment with me in remote areas and have to plan navigating the landscape in much the same way with equipment weight, safest paths or fastest routes, caution around bad weather, etc (minus the MulEs and BTs of course). I am therefore all about delivery games and this one blows your mind with the storyline,The absolute best game I've played.

I am therefore all about delivery games and this one blows your mind with the storyline, gameplay, and the characters. The atmosphere can be extremely stressful/suspenseful when it needs to be and also incredibly relaxing. The landscapes are beautiful. When you are hiking, the best part is getting a good view, listening to some good music and seeing a storm rolling in. That is this game.… Expand

    You can love or hate Kojima but he is a genius. I was playing this game like crazy for over 200 hours. The story is quite exceptional and intriguing, the graphics quality is great and the game mechanics are great.

    Бросил, так как есть ограничение на строительство зиплайнов. Без модов на отмену ограничения смысла играть не вижу

    An absolute embarassment. If you thought there was more about it than what was showed - there's not.

    A mesmerizing game, with layers of philosophical interpretation of politics and social interactions. I can't say in words what i feel playing it. Most important is the reaction of some people that understands the game and really try to do something out of it. Kojima did reinvent, even using some mechanics that kind exist. In general, this game can't be put in words. Sorry about those thatA mesmerizing game, with layers of philosophical interpretation of politics and social interactions.

    On one hand, the story is great, the characters are interesting, the soundtrack is amazing, and it definitely has that Kojima vibe. But if you expect a lot of combat, you not gonna get much of it here. You're mostly just gonna walk from one big area to another, and that might not be you're idea for fun. Non the less, this game ain't crap.

    Interesting game, I like how different it is. Very beautiful and has a nicely moody soundtrack and unique world. The downside is that around 90% of the characters are white men. Very little diversity. Very few women and those that do exist are pretty one-note (they all seem to be "mother" figures).

    Good game, way overhyped by some. It’s kind of boring but more-ish. It’s weird, it’s hard to put down but yet it really isn’t that interesting. Felt they could’ve used Norman Reedus a bit more vocally than they actually did.

    Overall a solid game. The acting was fantastic, but sometimes the cinematic cut scenes were overly long; whereas, long periods of the game were slow (which some may enjoy). The story however, came to a great ending.

    If I knew coming into the game that the majority of me painstakingly having to balance packages on my back as I travel a diverse world I would have just saved myself the money. World is beautiful and voice acting and cutscenes are good but that’s about it.

    recomendado para gente que esta estresada de tratar con mucha gente todos los días ya sea por la escuela o el trabajo y que solo quiere relajarse con un buen paisaje y una historia de 10. aunque la historia del pintor esta demas.

    Al inicio del juego no logré engancharme pero con el tiempo de jugarlo se convirtió en uno de mis juegos favoritos. La gente lo ve como un simulador de mensajería pero creo que la historia con el bebé es algo mágico. Un gran juego

    This game isn't for everyone. It is a bit slower-paced, and the movement can be difficult. However, the game world is so unique and beautiful that you can't stop playing. The soundtrack is phenomenal and fits the game world very well. All in all, it is a very unique game and I applaud Hideo Kojima for trying to think outside of the box.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Un juego que regalado es caro.

    El tiempo que tienes q invertir en el, para mi, simplemente no vale la pena, con el trabajo y las obligaciones que muchos tenemos, no se puede desperdiciar 40 o 50 horas un juego que de las más de 12 horas que llevo jugadas son de lo peor que he visto en mucho tiempo.

    Las mecánicas son horribles y están completamente rotas, el desafío es nulo, el juego es aburridísimo, el menú son lo peor, la historia es de lo que menos puedo hablar, aunque la amenaza es estar a la altura del resto ... muy mal.

    Lo que no se es bajo que autoridad Hideo Kojima se piensa q le puede tomar el pelo así a la gente, no solo el dinero y los 60 pavos q vale, que que ese es otro tema ...

    Sino las horas de tiempo que tienes q invertir en este juego, esta claro que por lo que él logró después, en el último tramo parece que mejora (aunque no pondría la mano en el fuego por ello).

    Si no os queda ningún otro juego importante de esta generación, os sobra tiempo, dinero, y ten mucha gente jugadlo, de lo contrario salid huyendo, podéis hacer cosas mucho mejores con vuestro tiempo que jugar al Death Stranding.

    Yo aquí lo dejo, cero interés en terminarlo y seguir perdiendo el tiempo.    … Expand

    A great post-apocalyptic world but the gameplay is so bad and boring. Completing the plot is enough. Don't try to get Platinum 100% walkthrough, it's a waste of time

    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.
