    Эта вдыхает новую жизнь в старые механики, она затягивает постепенно и не спешит делиться всем своим богатством. Помимо затягивающего геймплея, здесь есть сюжет, достойный изучения не как просто сюжет игры, а как целостное произведение.

    Ok I've been playing the game for like 6 hours and I must say that this game is mindblowing Each area except for the bridge building looks different and unique
    Game mechanics is really something else
    Yes it is kinda walking simulator but the mechanics made it interesting to travel across the UCA. The game will change when BT comes into screen. The thrill will make you understand the game.

    Yes it is kinda walking simulator but the mechanics made it interesting to travel across the UCA. The game will change when BT comes into screen. The thrill will make you understand the game. The hardships required to bring people together is tough and it is shown brilliantly by Hideo. The story is mysterious to keep you on hook. I know this game was not received well by gaming community. But as gamer if you don't want to buy the game it's fine at least rent it .
    And you will know why this is one of the best game ever made.

    Thank you guys Peace    … Expand

    The direction seemed immediately top-notch, as well as the characterization of the characters. Even the music looks beautiful. The initial part of the plot looks very "crazy" and it is very intriguing, it pushes you to play it to find out more.
    Regarding gameplay, it's not for everyone, but I think it makes fun of what is boring in all other games: walking (or rather, running).

    Death stranding se trata de un juego que rompe los moldes en la actualidad y eso puede provocar una recepción complicada, como así está siendo aunque eso no quita para que haya gente que se haya dedicado a "machacar" el juego a base de puntuarlo con ceros por ser una obra de Kojima y un exclusivo de ps4 (hasta su salida en PC).

Llevamos tiempo quejándonos de que salen juegos clónicos al mercado, que siempre ofrecen lo mismo salvo algunas joyas tanto en el panorama indie como en el del AA y AAA y cuando llega un señor que quiere hacer algo diferente, guste más o menos, se le quiere echar mierda a su obra cuando puede ser un punto de inflexión en cuanto a la creación de juegos diferentes para siguientes generaciones.

    Particularmente me está gustando mucho y aunque se que es un juego de nicho, el juego me está ofreciendo algo muy innovador, fresco pero no solo eso, sino que tiene un apartado audio visual propio de la mejor película de hollywood , con actores que hacen un papel increíble, una historia que te hace pensar mucho, con mucha carga conceptual, onírica pero que poco a poco se va contando realmente genial. Destacar la puesta en escena en esa maravillosa Intro y el prólogo, y eso, un cuidado general muy sobresaliente. Mi nota la justifico por lo siguiente y es que si en las 5 horas que llevo, que se supone dicen es la parte menos buena del juego (según se dice a partir del capítulo 3 o 4 se vuelve aún mejor) ya me está pareciendo sobresaliente alto, entiendo que mi valoración final será la misma, al finalizar el juego.

    Desde aquí animo a los no fans o que tengan dudas, a probar el juego por sí mismos antes de meterse aquí y bombardear el juego con 0, 1.. o incluso una nota suspensa. Entiendo que no pueda gustar a todos como recalco más arriba pero al igual que a mi hay juegos que no me gustan, admiro el trabajo que se hace con ellos y entiendo el por que de su fama y repercusión.    … Expand

    Very unique, but also feels like home to Kojima fans in some regards. The presentation, storytelling, lengthy but epic cutscenes are all traits we've come to know and (some of us) love from Kojima. Don't let the negative review-bombers hold you back though, as it becomes painfully obvious that they have not spent enough time with this game to properly know what it is about.

Don't let the negative review-bombers hold you back though, as it becomes painfully obvious that they have not spent enough time with this game to properly know what it is about. There actually is a lot more to it than just the act of "delivering", which in itself is a rewarding and challenging gameplay loop. You'll find yourself struggling to find a balance between accepting as much orders as possible, without overencumbering Sam too much and making him more challenging to control. The progression is also very nice, being able to carry more without issues, getting new helpful gear, and the Social Strand system is very interesting. Working towards something like building a road as a community feels really cool, and receiving an update on people liking equipment you left behind gives you a good feeling.

    It's sad that this game is getting review-bombed, but do understand that this game is not for everyone. Just don't expect to play this game and be able to sit back, and be entertained. This game tries to convey something, make you feel something instead of showing cool explosion number 34962.

    Ходьбы в игре не так уж много, на втором эпизоде дали байк.

    Недостатки. Приходится крафтить оружие и таскать ящики с оружиями, почему то не сделали возможность крафтить боеприпасы к винтовкам.
    Анимация, их много, надоедает. Нокаутирование, убийства, сбор, обнаружение тварей с анимацией в слоу. Я бы отключил это. Слишком много кат сцен. Пользование услугами фреджайл, подъем/спуск в убежище, утилизация, то как кладёт груз в грузовик.

    Death Stranding is an unique game that mix the gameplay elements with the narrative in a way only Kojima does.
    Is a game of walk, but when you play you realize that make delivers is a big challenge and is quite fun sometimes. Story is beautiful and Full of plot twist that reminds me of mgs2. I'm Glad this game exists in a vast ocean of generic games that put sale in front of quality.

    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.
