    Solo lo jugué las 2 primeras horas y me pareció un juego muy aburrido, repetitivo, lleno de cinemática, iré a la tienda a buscar un reembolso

    Gameplay bem feita, sem bugs visíveis e uma história absurdamente bacana e bem contada. Só não vi grandes diferenças do que poderia vir a ser um novo gênero... No mais, quero muito uma continuação, pois a história é cabulosa!

    Death Stranding is one of the most "Hideo Kojima" games ever created. It mixes all the strange and weird found in the MGS franchise with deep and elaborate hiking/traversing mechanics.

    The world has suffered the "Death Stranding", a worldwide event that caused the rules of life and death to no longer apply. The result? The souls of the dead now roam the realm of the living, voidouts    Death Stranding is one of the most "Hideo Kojima" games ever created. It mixes all the strange and weird found in the MGS franchise with deep and elaborate hiking/traversing mechanics.

    The world has suffered the "Death Stranding", a worldwide event that caused the rules of life and death to no longer apply. The result? The souls of the dead now roam the realm of the living, voidouts (huge explosions that cause craters) happening when BTs (creatures from the realm of the dead, BT stands for Beached Thing) get in contact with live humans, rain called "timefall" that basically rapidly ages anything it comes in contact with and humanity just giving up on all hope and living in underground bunkers.

    However, a company called BRIDGES aims to revert this catastrophe by installing key structures all over the USA, these structures would allow americans to reconstruct what was lost one day at a time by using a very advanced 3D printing technique. The thing is, when these structures were being created, the key item for linking all stations was still in development. This is your job in Death Stranding, unite America by linking all stations with the "Qpid" (the key to connect stations).

    The game loop basically consists of you (Sam Porter Bridges) carrying deliveries in different quantities and sizes from point A to point B, but it is not easy, the terrain is the most difficult enemy in the game, with big mountains, cliffs, rocky terrain that make any kind of vehicle basically useless. Cargo is fragile so you need to take good care of it as badly damaged cargo may result in a GAME OVER or a bad review from the recipient. Not to mention the enemies you may encounter, we have MULEs (porters who basically went mad), Terrorists (these guys do not like the idea of a unified America, and will do what they can to stop you) and BTs (the supernatural ghosts)

    You will be very lonely in Death Stranding, but that is part of the experience, you really feel like the future of American depends on your efforts only, it felt amazing to me how Sam is so fragile, he can slip on slippery terrain and won't be able to carry a lot of weight without mechanical help, even a river is sometimes very dangerous for him. You see his suffering, he is a normal human fighting against all odd, even supernatural ones, and when you finally reach your destination, you feel like you made the difference.

    Death Stranding may not be for everyone though, you will be walking quite a bit on very tough terrain and enemies will always try to make your life harder, but for those looking for something different, something that makes you think and feel an unique experience (believe me, the feeling of getting something to someone who needs that against all odds is a very interesting one) will find DS to be one of the best games released this year.    … Expand

    Death Stranding is travesty of a game, slow boring , and way to long. This is a love it or hate it kinda of game only thing i liked was the graphics. It gets a 5 out of 10 from me , its deff not for everyone and has no right being voted for game of the year. Stay away from DS

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Par où commencer? Je vais suivre le déroulement du jeu. Au début le gameplay est plutôt intéressant, vous découvrez l'échelle et la corde vous traversez le terrain avec ça et ça fonctionne plutôt bien. A ce point du jeu c'est plutôt les cinématiques, Sam et sa propension vouloir nous faire croire qu'il ne veut pas réaliser la quête principale alors que c'est exactement ce pour quoi vous avez acheté le jeu qui vous rend dingue. On a l'impression que ça dure trois plombe. Une fois tout cela passé c'est le gameplay et son évolution dans le monde ouvert qui vous fait tenir. L'histoire est inintéressante à ce point précis. Vous allez découvrir les véhicules, la moto qui n'est pas utile du tout si ce n'est pour jouer sur celle de walking dead puis le camion tout terrain. Forcément quand le but des quêtes c'est d'accepter un maximum de quêtes, donc de kilos, et de les transporter d'un point A à un point B, C puis D. Le camion tout terrain fait sens. Après le terrain se complique, les échoués, des ennemis inutiles là pour vous empêcher d'utiliser des véhicules concrètement. Vous poussera à revenir au gameplay de base, vos boots. Vous poussez le joystick et vous tapoter sur R2/L2 de temps en temps. Vous allez rapidement découvrir les tyroliennes, ça vous fait voyager de 300 mètres en appuyant sur un bouton unique. Super! Le gameplay devient inexistant à ce moment du jeu. L'histoire s'emballe un peu vous persévérez, vous avez envie de finir cette quête inutile jusqu'au bout, d'affronter le grand méchant, de retrouver votre copine/sœur ou demie sœur on sait pas trop et sincèrement on s'en contrefout. L'affrontement est nul, le gameplay n'est tout simplement pas assez profond pour qu'il en soit autrement... Vous allez vous faire des cargaisons d'armes, des quadruples bazooka et de tirer sur un mob géant jusqu'à ce que sa barre de vie soit vide... Le pire dans tout cela c'est qu'il y a une deuxième phase dans l'affrontement ou vous balancer des colis qui ne devraient pas être la sur la tête du grand méchant puis enchaîner des attaques au corps à corps jusqu'à ce que le jeu vous délivre de cette tâche ultra chiante. Vous lache une cinématique ou vous êtes heureux comme dans une série b petite course sur la plage tout sourire main dans la main, vraiment??? Puis ça repart on vous demande de repartir au tout début du jeu après 30 minutes de cinématique...
    Un subterfuge pour voir l'évolution du monde en ligne...
    Ce jeu est une blague, il n'en est même pas un en vérité. Kojima n'arrive pas à se défaire de ses héros qui parle à peine, légendaire et solo. C'est d'un agacement d'avoir un FedEx Snake entre les mains, a croire qu'il ne sait pas faire autre chose...Le gameplay est très proche de celui de MGS 5 au final, il n'a pas réussi son pari je retrouve les armes, l'infiltration ...    … Expand

    This game isn't for everyone but if you stick with it, the story will slowly unravel itself and build into one of the most amazing adventures you'll have within a video game. The mechanics are different and the world is strange but by the end, you'll be left with a connection to this game that is like no other.

    The gameplay mechanics are pretty good, but the game lacks variety and the story is nonsense. Greater diversity to the terrain would have done a lot to help. There are lots of extraneous weapons, items, and structures that are introduced and then never needed again.

    Hi world,
    Im Nahuel, from Argentina. I will say... Death Stranding, it may not be the best game ever.
    But it is the game I most loved. But why? First of all, this is art. The story is made up with a perfect mixture of everything you can find in our existence. Our mind, emotions, but also our routine existence and our struggles. The graphics are the best in the history of videogames,    Hi world,

    The gameplay is HUGE. It has everything. Adventure, Stealth, Combat, Shooter, Construction, Resources Managing, Racing, Horror. And a lot of minigames.

    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.
