    A visually stunning game with a very interesting concept that has its moments but is destroyed by very bad writing, terrible pacing and a weak realization of what is fun gameplay-wise.
    Kojima had the "Konami is messing with the game" excuse for MGS V being a sub par and unfinished game but now that he had complete creative control, it shows how much Konami actually "destroyed" mgs v.

    Kojima had the "Konami is messing with the game" excuse for MGS V being a sub par and unfinished game but now that he had complete creative control, it shows how much Konami actually "destroyed" mgs v.

    The truth is that judging by his last 2 games ( since I haven't played the rest) Kojima seems to not be up to the standard on most creative areas (aside from cinematography which is great). The writing is laughably exposition heavy, the "sad-moments" are completely unearned, the dialogue is facepalm-worthy at times, the pacing is a mess and the gameplay ,while unique, feels not well realized as evident by the terrible bossfights that simply can't be satisfying with the type of gameplay that Kojima and his team chose to go with.
    For god's shake you can't even pick up bullets that enemies drop, that is a cardinal gaming sin. I hope the next game by Kojima Production is better.

    Thankfully though this game is carried by its ending.    … Expand

    The game is simply a masterpiece with a lot of effort put into it. Currently 52 hours into it (according to my save file) but the only thing I did not feel was the time passing. Once you are in, you'll never get enough of it. Thank you Kojima.

You get the first vehicle pretty early on. And later you can steal vehicles from the bad guys. So much fun! In addition to delivering packages, you get to fight bad guys of various form. Your ability to detect bad guys changes at various moments in the game, adding for some interesting times, and forcing you to learn new mechanics and skills. And then there is the world building! You can build roads, and then things that are better than roads! And this is in collaboration with the others on your server, so, for example, the zipline network is made up of multiple players' towers. There is combat, and it is nicely done, with an interesting progression of weapons. Even after vehicles are acquired, there are missions that require climbing up a damned mountain: parts of the map that I assumed were off limits (and they would be in any other game) are places I had to go climb. And now we have ziplines over them!

    The cut-scenes are terribly repetitive. Who knew that there would be a game where taking a **** was a mechanic. Who knew that that mechanic would require skipping FOUR cut-scenes. *sigh*. I've pressed option-right-X so many times. And yet I'm still playing it and enjoying it.

    Perhaps, if the game is too frustrating, try it on Easy. I'm assuming that harder modes require more slog before getting things like a vehicle, or enough resources to build roads and bridges. The game is worth playing through, even if that means making it easier.    … Expand

    Una buena película para ver en familia pero pésimo como videojuego.

    El juego es aburrido como ningún otro, se basa únicamente en    Una buena película para ver en familia pero pésimo como videojuego.
    Si, es hermoso visualmente pero esto es gracias a la falta de vida del propio entorno. La banda sonora es hermosa y me gusto mucho los momentos en los que esta empieza a sonar. Pero desgraciadamente esto es todo lo bueno que puedo decir sobre este juego.

    El juego es aburrido como ningún otro, se basa únicamente en llevar encargos de punto A a punto B, contando con algunos obstáculos que no presentan reto alguno, estos encargos son OBLIGATORIOS para poder avanzar en el juego. Cuando por fin enfrentas a enemigos y crees que habrá algo de acción llega la enorme decepción, ya que la IA es muy idiota, dejando irrelevante la mecánica de sigilo, ni siquiera en los combates contra Bosses el juego resulta divertido, basta esquivar y esperar a que aparezca un fantasma que te ayuda lanzándote munición o simplemente salir del perímetro del boss si ya estas harto de tan mala programación.

    El uso de escaleras y cuerdas no tiene sentido, simplemente con dejar apretados los gatillos pues pasar cualquier terreno corriendo sin caerte.

    La publicidad descarada de series y bebidas es descarada, y con la misma animación una y otra vez.

    Las misiones secundarias son lo mismo que las primarias, solo cambia el contenido de los paquetes, de drogas a un pizza o tonterías así.

    Death Stranding es muy repetitivo, tedioso, y aburrido al punto de que irónicamente vas a pedir a gritos una cinemática para pasar de una monotonía de juego (caminar, caminar y caminar presionando 2 botones para no caerte) a una monotonía visual (cinemáticas tras cinemática), y viceversa.

    Espero sinceramente que con este review pueda salvar tu cartera de una mala inversión. Besos y mucha suerte!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Comenzare primero por los puntos, que a mi parecer, son los buenos del juego para luego terminar con los flojos. Todas las criticas dadas a continuación fueron experimentadas en dificultad máxima del juego.

    Pros.
    - El juego gráficamente es muy bueno, uno de los mas exigentes del año.
    - Hay muchos pequeños detalles en el mundo que son interesantes como el desnivel, profundidad del agua, la reacción de la flora a la lluvia y como crece y se marchita, etc.
    - La banda sonora me parece acorde al juego y esta muy bien realizada.
    - Cinemáticas espectaculares.
    - El sistema de construcción en cooperativo online me parece una mecánica bastante interesante y me parece que esta bien.

    Contras.
    - El juego es extremandamente lento, sus mecanicas no varian en todo el desarrollo del mismo, siempre es resolver misiones de llevar paquetes del punto A al B y cuando terminas esa mision ya te aparece otra con un nuevo encargo. Siempre es igual creando una monotonia en el juego que llega hasta querer no jugarlo mas.
    - El sistema de pelea (inclusive en su maxima dificultad) es muy sencillo, con solo hacer un contra ataque con la cuerda a las mulas ya los noqueas, ni hablar cuando podes desactivar sus radares que podes pasar caminando como si no existieran.
    - Tranquilamente en el juego se puede evadir siempre con mucha facilidad a los EV y en el caso de ser capturado, comicamente no es necesario pelear contra ellos uno puede correr y salir del area de batalla que el mini boss desaparecerá como si se hubiese cansado de perseguirte y eso es todo. Resuelto.
    - Las cinematicas si bien son de una calidad excelente son eternas, Muy largas. Inclusive el juego no lo termina resolviendo uno sino que se resuelve con una cinematica de... ATENCION 2:30hs.
    - El juego tiene muchos cortes de cinematicas largas como dije antes y eso hace perderse al jugador.
    - La IA del juego es MUY mala, los EV en dificultad maxima nunca pudieron hacerme daño, algunos enemigos disparan a cualquier lado estando en frente de sus narices y mas errores.

    Es probable que me este olvidando de alguna contra mas pero en general, es un juego que yo creo que primero se realizo todas las cinematicas contando la historia como si fuese un filme (O casualidad Kojima se esta acercando al mundo cinematogrifco en estos tiempo) y luego se adapto el juego en funcion a las cinematicas y no al reves dejando lisiada la parte jugable pero muy bien la parte visual y sonora del juego.

    El juego, como juego nunca me atrapo, nunca me divirtió y nunca me entretubo, Lo senti mas como un walking simulator que como un juego de accion, aventura como esta catalogado.    … Expand

I played the game for 3 hours every day for 4 days it brought nothing but frustration.. came home from work every day tired , and starting this game made me feel like going on second shift. So let my comment go this time they took my 60$ and at least i want my right to vote. In short the game was boring instead of making the bikes reliable and go through rough terrain they made them feel like they hit a wall but it's a 10cm rock in front. Point A to point B is basically work day for me. Let me have a vote they took my money now my rights lol savages.… Expand

    I wanted to like this and I really tried. I knew there wouldn't be much game-play, but the culmination of environment, premise, and storyteller all seemed perfect. It's not. The story is simultaneously excruciatingly obvious and confusing. Exposition is frequently dumped with painstaking details, symbolism is smashed into your face until you beg mercy, and then the process repeats.I wanted to like this and I really tried.

Exposition is frequently dumped with painstaking details, symbolism is smashed into your face until you beg mercy, and then the process repeats. Plot elements are delivered in fragments, in what I guess is an attempt to make the plot appear deep, but it's really just a shallow mud puddle.

    The game-play is unforgivable. I don't know why this medium was chosen; the story isn't good, but it would have been served better in another format. You can interact in the form of pressing forward, scanning menus, and eventually pushing forward some more to re-tread maps you've already played. It's not fun, it's insulting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Si bien, el apartado artístico está muy bien, así como también el musical. Este juego que según el creador iba de conectar, dispone de un gameplay y una historia disconexa. El juego en si es un walking simulator con muchos obstáculos para no poder utilizar las herramientas que el mismo juego te da.
    Los enemigos también son obstáculos pero realmente terminan siendo nada con el avance del mismo.
    Demaciadas horas de juego son requeridas, para comenzar a tener una simple fluidez. Mientras que durante todo este trayecto la unica recompensa viable es las cinematicas disconexas completamente de lo que acabamos, y vamos a hacer.
    Los personajes son planos hasta el final del juego, el giro argumental es totalmente esperable.
    En definitiva, la historia esta bien, el apartado gráfico y el sonido también. Pero como videojuego es malisimo, sobre todo por olvidar esa parte importante llamada juego.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Every review/rating that calls this game a walking simulator has not played past the 5-8 hour mark.
    FACT
    After that time you rarely walk and when you do, your walking is enhanced by various different tools. Also, the game is as polished as God of War was when it released. You'll have a hard time finding a game that runs this smooth without any hiccups, crashes, glitches and so on.

    The menus feel a little overwhelming when you first start out, but as you get to know and navigate them, everything makes sense.

    This game creates a level of immersion that I haven't felt in a video game before. Even though the game is in 3rd person, you feel like you are Sam Porter Bridges.

    Another thing I really like is the attention to detail when it comes to weapons, gimmicks l, quality of life improvements and vehicles. You get so much cool stuff, you'll have a hard time picking the tools you want to use.

    The style is the best part. If you liked the metal gear series, it is most likely because you like the way Kojima makes his creations look on screen. The characters and the vehicles all look so cool. I wasn't going to review the game, but seeing it sitting at 5.9 user score is beyond ridiculous. It is above a 9.5/10 easy. I'm so glad I get to play this awesome game and seeing it being downvoted by, I don't know what to call these people, is just sad.
    It's disrespectful towards a free and creative mind like Kojima. This dude is a blessing for the gaming community.

    Don't let anybody fool you. If you like open world,
    If you like post apocalypse,
    If you like single player games,
    If you like Kojima's style,

    This game is an absolute must have in anybody's collection.
    Among the top 10 of this generation, hands down.

    The only gripes i have are the exposition dumps and the clunky shooting mechanics.

    Most of the time, you'll be listening to a character explain something. There was no effort made to make it dramatic and engaging. Although there is great cinematic at the end of the game, it was a bit late for me to feel much about it.

    As for the shooting mechanics, the controls were designed for the main traversal gameplay. It didnt work well with chapters involving shooting... although chapters with gun battles were few.

    Overall the game is great! Im glad I played it. In a AAA industry dominated by looter shooters, battle royales, microtransactions, game passes etc... death stranding is a breath of fresh air    … 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.
