    Death Stranding создает новый игровой жанр и, следовательно, прокладывает свой собственный путь к более интерактивным играм

Hideo Kojima created a vision of what storytelling go beyond including games as a whole, not everyone accepts this but things will be better. Thank you Kojima for letting us join this ambitious journey… Expand

    One of my favorite games if all time! It’s a game with an engaging story that put me to tears by the time it came to a close with gameplay that is both fun and relaxing all at the same time!

Calling it a delivery simulator or Amazon simulator does not reflect the nuance and intelligence of the core game mechanic and overarching narrative. The world is stunning, and I particularly enjoyed the asynchronous multiplayer element. I am not a massive multiplayer person so wasn't expecting to really engage with that aspect, but it added an interesting and meaningful dimension and I found myself going out of my way to leave tools that could help other players. Definitely worth playing, and delivers something very different.… Expand

    Absolutely not a game for everyone, and really not meant to be. But once you're in, you're in for 60+ hours of fun.

    The pacing is an issue, with many moments when you wish the cutscene will end. Furthermore, the pacing towards the end is not great, especially the last 2-3 hours.

    The voice acting and Hollywood actors which participated in this project are great and thoroughly enjoyable.

    Make sure this game is for you before playing to avoid disappointment.    … Expand

But it's not the fault of the game if you buy a game whose setting and gameplay you do not like. If you like Jazz and buy a Metal album, you cannot criticize the artists that you do not like the music. The reviews on the internet give a clear picture what the game is. Imo the game is a masterpiece. One of the few games which are brave enough to try something new and I loved it. The story is just great!… Expand

    Si revisan las criticas positivas se darán cuenta que lo mejor de Death Stranding, a lo que le dan más importancia, es tanto a la historia y a la calidad grafica. Esto es muy cierto.

Esto es muy cierto. La historia te atrapa desde el principio, de lanza un cliffhanger tras otro para que te quede la duda de que significa o que representa tal cosa. Hasta ahí, no hay nada más. El mundo y su diseño es increible, pero si la PS4 levanta todo eso es por la simple razón de que se encuentra completamente vacío, no hay nada más que rocas, unos cuantos arboles y algun que otro enemigo en zonas contadas. De ahi en fuera no hay fauna, no hay nada, el mundo no se siente vivo... En el caso de los enemigos, al principio te impresionan y te causan cierto impacto, pero una vez que aprendes a derrotarlos, algo que es muy al inicio del juego, el combate se vuelve algo sumamente tedioso que solo está puesto ahi para ralentizarte y alargar la vida del juego, mucho más de lo que de por si ya te lo alarga, mandandote de un lado para otro entregando cosas, por que si, el juego va de entregar cosas, de ser un mensajero, no haces nada más. Te dan lo tuyo y vas y lo dejas, y donde lo dejas te dan mas cosas para entregar de donde venias, y así una y otra vez. No es un juego divertido ni entretenido, es un juego que te mantiene enganchado a una historia que quieres conocer, pero el gameplay es tedioso, aburrido y extremadamente repetitivo. Yo le tenía unas grandes expectativas, lo esperé desde que lo anunciaron, Hideo Kojima tiene grandes ideas, pero al parecer se le ha ido la holla. Lamentablemente a la prensa experimentada ya se le compra con cualquier cosa, y solo porque es Kojima le inflaron la nota de manera increible. Si este juego fuese de cualquier otra desarrolladora, sería la decepción del año, peor que No Mans Sky, cosa que para muchos de nosotros, si lo es.… Expand

    Resumen;
    Ir de un punto A al punto B
    Su dificultad máxima es ultra fácil
    Pura cinemática y la ambientación son puras rocas.
    Solo tienes que caminar y entregar paquetes.
    Inteligencia artificial muy malo.
    Lo que rescato son los gráficos. Pero como digo la prensa mintió con sus notas, ya la otra semana veremos como la gente de vuelve el vídeo juego

Unfortunately, it is art that is better suited to being an animated film than a video game.

    I wanted to like this game, but poor design choices prevented me from playing beyond the prologue/tutorial--and judging by what I've seen as I tried to research what I might have been doing wrong, I'm not the only one suffering the problem of the game being literally unplayable because there is no option to leave your private quarters, even after examining every item in the room, Sam points to the door repeatedly (and shakes his head when you tell him to do anything other than exit the room), but there's no way to actually get to the door and leave the room. This renders the game literally unplayable (unless you want to stare at CGI/mocap Norman Reedus but not actually do anything besides that) for a lot of people with this issue. To me, that's a broken game at best, a-hole design at worst.

    It's visually stunning and might have an interesting story; I don't know, because I can't actually play it beyond the prologue portion to find out. It definitely makes the case that video games are indeed art... but Kojima might have wanted to keep in mind that video games are interactive art, and if you cannot interact with things and advance the story, then it's not a video game.

    I'm giving the game a 2 for the visuals/graphics and audio that I've seen in the roughly 60-90 minutes that I was able to play, before terrible design left me stuck in a room with no way out and no way to continue the game.    … Expand

    It feels like Kojima really wanted to make was a film rather than a game. Hence he solely focused on graphics, and a host of quirky (but not fun) game mechanics to try and immerse the player with emotions the characters would feel roaming that world.

It's really just a walking simulator, but one that just turns the ''walking'' into a hardship for the player. Saying that, some players will enjoy that sort of 'hardship' making it feel more tactile whilst wandering through an incredibly well rendered world. Ultimately though, this is really a very niche game (probably great if you fall under that niche gamer category). The idea and lore created would have made for a great film, but doesn't translate well into a game where it feels like it was shoehorned in.… Expand

    I'm really surprised at how much this game drew me in.

    It starts out as quite a slog but as the game adds new options and abilities the game play switches from struggle to optimizing.

    The world is cool, the story was interesting, abstract but understandable.

Gameplay is really boring and nothing to write home about. Story is not very compelling to say the least, it's on pair with Sci-fi books you found with a great cut in price in every books shop, i even would say it's on level with mediocre sci-fi tv series. Music was actually pretty good it was one of redeeming qualities of this game for me. Graphics look really well especially on great TV. Overall it was not a revolution in terms of gameplay or anything else in particular as Hideo-san was promising with "stick and rope" interviews he gave, many times before the release. I hope that this game sales well and find it's fans, so that Hideo-san could keep on making more games. But as of know this is not the masterpiece or genre defying game, it's a definition of word "mediocre" that's all.… 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.
