    You either GET IT or you just DON"T GET IT...period. For me, this game was an extremely introspective and philosophical experience that made me question the meaning of existence and human interaction. The narrative TRULY made my head swirl, philosophizing and theorizing the meaning of it all.

    The purpose of Death Stranding was NEVER an exciting and addicting traditional "gameplay" experience. In fact, Hideo Kojima was purposely poking fun at gaming/social media culture and satirizing with social commentary at every turn. It cracks me up to read all the comments about Death Stranding boiling down to a glorified FedEx simulator...those people just DON'T GET IT. Hate to say it, but I just don't think the majority of people playing video games in this day and age have the attention span and mental capacity to truly appreciate an experience like this. Truly unique, and memorable.    … Expand

    Death Stranding es una obra que si bien no es para todos los públicos, es capaz de engancharte si sabes abrir tu mente y dejarte llevar por ella.

    Absolute boring **** More cutscenes than actual gameplay, and the gameplay is boring, walking simulator is to say a lot of this game, is more a long ass movie with 2 seconds of doing **** nothing in a huge empty world

    Probably one of the worst games of the decade. A big disappointment. The game bores and tires equally. It's basically walking all the time in an empty world. Where is the fun in that?

And lets not forget about how beautiful the open world is. Wow, its huge and its beautiful, well built, it wants you to explore it, and good thing you always have a reason to do so with the orders and deliveries you need to make to connect the world.

    With all this said and done, the game is not for everyone. And thats why I got it myself, because I wanted to see if it was for me, and evidently it is. Because im havibg fun with it..    … Expand

    Death Stranding is one of those epic games where you reach the ending after many, many hours and you have the sense that you played something unique, fresh and a game that could be a comparative point for other games to come.

    I only played this for a couple of hours because a friend of mine borrowed it to me. I am glad I did that because I would feel very bad if I had spent a dime on that. This walking simulator is not worth buying.

    Il nulla mascherato da qualcosa. Un gioco vuoto, fatto di niente, che si carica di un nome e di una "regia" altisonante. Un gioco così fatto da un altro publisher e non da Kojima avrebbe mietuto recensioni agghiaccianti.

    Da evitare

    Estou para finalizar o jogo.
    E jogo mostra a evolução do personagem principal, uma história que te deixa mais curioso a cada capítulo, mecânicas do jogo muito boas de acordo com o local e o sistema online ajuda bastante.
    Vale muito a pena esse jogo.

    Para mi este juego es un insulto a los jugadores,hay gente de la prensa que le ha puesto nota como juego perfecto sin habérselo pasado y analizado profundamente,es un juego muy aburrido y que recomienden un juego simplemente por ser de Hideo Kojima me parece una vergüenza .

    No lo recomiendo

    Se vende como un juego de acción y lo último que tiene es acción. Juego aburrido, con un mundo abierto vacío con el que no se puede interactuar. Las misiones principales consisten en llevar un paquete de un lugar a otro, sin más. Ni divierte, ni entretiene, es decir, que no tiene nada de videojuego.

    GamePlay:

However, if you do as the game encourages, and spend time planning routs, choosing the judging what tools are worth hulling, and pick the right means or travel (bike, truck, or feet), then the you may have a lot of fun. I say “may” because this game is slow!

    A secondary and almost completely over looked game play mechanic is helping other players. I think this might be the part of the game I like the most. You can deliver cargo the found but where unable to deliver themselves, you can build bridges and roads to help the get around, and after you have built something or even just helped them finish building something, then you get to see when other people use your buildings.

    Menu Screen Hell – One thing this game really messed up is the menu screens. I will not get into explaining why they suck as a lot of people have already done that much better than I can.

    Story:

    It is not easy to separate story from game play in Death Stranding because so much of the game play tells the story. Your character, Sam, is a loner who is establishing connection between other people and then eventually becomes connected to these people as you (the player) become connected to other players.
    Sam follow in the foot steps of other characters helping finish the work they started while you the player do the same thing with other players.    … Expand

    the game is amazing. Of course you have to wait for the best part of the game to come out but the time you spend doing all the deliveries immerse yourself in the game and helps you to understand better the amazing plot of Death Stranding

    Awesome gameplay, awesome story, and a great world realized by a master author. This game made me happy, sad, mad, melancholic, cry and had me realize to stop being so isolated and try and build some connections to the ones around you. There are some glitches and the vehicles control weird/bad, but those small complains do not hamper this, for me, 200 hour game of the year cannidate.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really love this game. When you get into Chapter 4 is when it really takes off. You finally get weapons and it starts to feel more like MGS. I bought the standard version and I just ordered the PS4 4 Death Stranding limited edition because I want to see it in 4k. I am only in Chapter 9, but I am already hooked. Definitely the game of the year.… Expand

    Best experience i ever had with a game. It's unique with it's own way and is fun to play. When you deliver a package to it's destination you get the feeling of completion, just like in a souls game after you beat a hard boss....I heavily recommend to all the gamers out there to give it a try and have there minds blown.

    Through compelling story telling medium, Kojima delivered the idea that video games have the potential to be so much more than just entertaining. Dull game play mechanics, but amazing story line and visuals. If you beat the game, you will most likely change your negative reviews about this game. Slow build up and lack of interesting combat mechanics are the only downsides of this game.

    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.
