    please MT admins delete these obvious zeros from the trolls. Positive reviews have grown in recent days, but ratings have dropped from 7.1 to 6.4. This game doesn't deserve it. Thank you.

    Like I said I totally understand how this game might not be for a lot of people, but what I dont understand is their need to try and blast it as if it's the worst piece of trash ever conceived. Its visually stunning with a great soundtrack and a superb cinematic feel. Yes the story is convoluted clunky, but have you not played a kojima game? For me the game is almost therapeutic. The first time the camera pulled back as I was walking through the plains and one of the Low Roar songs faded in I knew exactly what this game was about and it hasn't disappointed since.    … Expand

    The most kojima game yet. Such a relaxing awe inspiring game with the usual kojima plot lines. I would never have expected it to have translated this well to gameplay but it does. You can truly get lost within this world and the time spent walking through it. Add on top of that a great soundtrack, cast and multiplayer cooperative feel and it's a total masterpiece.

    PERFEITO, uma história involvente que te prende do início ao fim. Não sei oq as pessoas tanto reclamam pq desde o início o Kojima já havia explicado como seria, oq não faz sentido reclamações como "Walking Simulator" as pessoas hoje em dia tem a cabeça muito perdida e criam expectativa falsas.

Human civilizations were constructed based on trade and building share infrastructure. As such one of the most important task humans would need to accomplish is rebuilding that network. Your character role may be a courier but the significant of his task is much greater. With the remaining pockets of humanity living in isolated areas your role is into being them into the communication network. The only way to ensure people want to join is to do them favors like bringing them the supplies they need to survive. This concept is deep on so many levels it makes me think of our ancestors who from their small villages were able to connect with other villages to create the first civilization and empires. Gameplay wise I believe it is awesome too, while many ppl dread the long walks of the start of the game, I found it enjoyable in the context of what is going on. Once all the tools begin to appear the gameplay really kicks off. The combat is decent if there was an area to improve I would say it would be this. Still there were many times when I felt very tense and excited. Overall I think this game is a 10 for me, not because it perfect, but because I truly am enjoying the game… Expand

It has a very satisfying game play loop, a great story that takes place in an intriguing world with a great cast of characters that are all very well thought out with their own goals and motivations. It truly delivers a different experience. Where we are all pitted against each other to get the most kills, this game encourages and rewards you for helping others, whether they are a player navigating their own world or reconnecting everyone throughout the course of the story.

    Even though I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this game I can see where some complaints can ring true. The opening chapters of the game are a little slow because you haven't gotten far enough to unlock most of the games advanced mechanics and going by the trophy statistics that's where most of the negative reviews stem from, which leads me to my final point.

    If you're not the type of person that can sit down and complete a game, which statistically is the majority of gamers, this title will fall flat for you. Its a complete experience that really needs to be completed to truly appreciate.

    I truly hope that if you read this review and are thinking about purchasing the game that you do so with the intention of giving it your full attention and completing the story. If you can do that, it will be an amazing experience.    … Expand

    I honestly do not understand the hatred this game has garnered. It is the most unique single player story game I have played in so long in a market saturated with AC and Uncharted-like action adventure titles. This is no "movie game" by any stretch, it is a fully realized masterpiece of a game that will, (I think) get it's recognition down the road for doing something so bold and rewarding

    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.
