Асинхронный мультиплеер даёт возможность почувствовать онлайн составляющую по новому, где основная идея палок и верёвок раскрывается через игровой процесс и временами выручает в трудных ситуациях. Большую часть игры вашим главным врагом будет природа, она не зло и не добро, у неё свои условия и вам так или иначе прийдется под неё подстраиваться, именно в таком ключе онлайн взаимодействие идёт не против друг друга, а «ЗА».

    Take your time, prepare for an excellent story, relaxing atmosphere. Otherwise, go play CoD and come back when you will grow up.

The game loop is absolutely compelling, I can't put it down. I've contributed to online, shared road systems, watch towers, mountaineering networks, bridges & connected stranded people to the future Internet after a world wide disaster, all while being a simple delivery guy who, so far has never killed a single person but feels a reluctant obligation to help rebuild a broken world by doing his job. This has all the sensibilities of the deep & unique experience that usually only exists in the indie game arena because big publishers won't touch it. Kojima's unique financial status had brought a triple 'A' budget & production to a completely different gaming concept while creating a beautiful, believable, online open world coupled with perfectly tweaked, complex RPG systems. Some of the lore & narrative is cringe worthy, appearing deliberately obtuse for weirdness sake. His humour is often unsubtle & crude at times but in essence, this is an incredible, brave & totally original game & as a designer he should be applauded for its beauty, tion to detail & the previously unparalleled sense of cooperation it achieves for an online game. Up there with his greatest achievements now no longer shackled by MGS or Konami.… Expand

    This game came out exactly when I needed it. It's not for everyone, but got me it was just what I was looking for. In the midst of a cross-country move. Feeling alone, afraid, and full of anxiety. While this game mirrors the feelings I am having, it shows me that I am never alone.

    I just finished Death Stranding after about 120 hours of playing, and it was an amazing experience. The story was absolutely mindblowing, told with superb acting and motion capture, in perfect looking cut scenes. The gameplay was absolutely immersive and fun, I loved just walking around and taking in the scenery, meeting NPCs along the way, listening to music, even the horror-like scenes when I came to close to BTs (truly scary).
    I find no flaws with this game, other than it's "hater-base".    … Expand

    One of the best games I played in years!
    I love the idea of "chill gameplay" where you walk around stunning landscapes transporting cargo, listening to great music by Low Roar... it was absolutely delightful!
    The relaxing aspect switches out regularly for a more stressful and frightening one when you must travel through BT or enemy territory, or cross over especially dangerous terrain.    One of the best games I played in years!

    The relaxing aspect switches out regularly for a more stressful and frightening one when you must travel through BT or enemy territory, or cross over especially dangerous terrain. It's very well balanced.
    The story was BREATHTAKING! I absolutely loved it so much! It was the best video game story I played in ages... I can't even compare it to anything! If you like dark supernatural stuff, you'll love this!
    Also, great acting especially by Norman Reedus and Tommie Earl Jenkins - the mo cap is unreal!
    I believe that there are people who will find the gameplay rather boring, but if you are someone who can put a bit of thought into your games and like hidden gems like Shadow of the Colossus, then try Death Stranding and you won't be disappointed!    … Expand

    Without spoilers. I'm 60hrs plus into this game and with each lodgement of 10hr blocks this game just keeps getting better and better. The trailers really show nothing of endgame content. A true masterclass in sound , visuals and story telling. I can say after watching all the trailers they don't even scratch the surface of how axing thus game is.

    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.
