    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 atmosphere, music, and story this game contains is top notch. The gameplay loop is addicting and fun. I have nothing bad to say about this game, the only nit pick I could possibly say is that some characters dialog can be a bit annoying but I don't think that takes anything away from the experience overall. 10/10.

    Despite It's a single player game, but more like an co-op game than an other typical co-op game. Paving the way with other players is never been experienced in other games. Even just walking makes a path for others.

    This game is a masterpiece, incredibly immersive, touching and, at last, fresh air for the videogame industry. Take your time to discover its secrets, enjoy this one of a kind experience and don’t expect a game for everyone. It's exactly what the videogame industry needed.

    I'm not a huge fan of Hideo Kojima games by any means and read the reviews of this which made me sceptical, but decided to try for myself regardless...and glad I did! Absolutely loved it!

I genuinely enjoyed the story and characters and the twists kept me guessing throughout. It's all just so clever, you really have to plan and think things through, it's not just a simple delivery game as I was led to believe, if you not fighting harsh weather and terrain it's stealth avoiding the BTS or fighting of the mules. Combat when it occurs is great. Also I love how killing people has consequences. Just as I thought it was getting tedious , something new would spur me on , new equipment to make things easier, a story twist a new vehicle. Also I love that other players structures and equipment appear in your game a real sense of working together...and really help you out in tricky situations. I could go on but all in all an unforgettable experience and something truly different!… Expand

    It has a been years since the last time I played a meaningful game, the kind of game that makes you question your actions, feel responsible for them and keeps you thinking about it even when you're not playing.

    Death stranding is not about immediate gratification, it takes time to build up, and the more time you spend playing it the more you grow into it. The characters are not meaningless avatars, I always wanted to find out more about their history, and the more I found out, the more genuine feelings I got towards each of them.
    The visuals are stunning, the characters obviously look realistic, the landscapes I believe to be based on real ones and the gameplay, while the game is really a walking simulator, it's the best one I've experienced and actually works really well within the games context, I mean, we're playing as a delivery guy, so who else could make a masterpiece of game out of that??
    Another important key feature I want to mention is the sense of community while you're playing the game, even though you don't see the other Sam's around, you never feel alone, someone is sharing a ladder to make your life easier, a rope, motorcycle or putting up signs giving precious hints about the terrain ahead of you, it's marvelous in itself, really nicely done.
    I'll never forget the experience I had with death stranding. I'd like to thank to kojima and his team for creating such a GAME! I'm looking forward to see what's next.    … Expand

    A work of art, moving and beautiful, heart wrenching and devastating. It's unlike any game I've ever played before it. Even the few cornball moments were like an adorable nudge from Kojima. This is in my top 5 games and I've been playing for 24 years

    Un juego diferente a lo que nos han vendido últimamente, la historia perfecta con su belleza visual y sonora el gameplay muy realista y tal vez ahí es donde peca pero se acopla bien a lo que quiere demostrar Kojima que es una sociedad que ayuda a los demás. Le doy un 10/10 por eso, por ser diferente a lo de siempre.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Потрясающая игра! Могу понять тех, кому не понравилась, но я просто в восторге! От самого начала и до самого конца сложно было оторваться! Дизайн локаций, музыка, уникальные механики и сюжет здесь сделаны с исключительным трепетом! Очень глубокая проработка деталей, одних только анимаций столько, что даже после прохождения, будете находить новые. Я ставлю 10/10, но это моё личное мнение. Просто эту игру сложно судить, объективно. У каждого игрока будет свой уникальный опыт прохождения, кто-то сумеет погрузиться и сопереживать персонажам, стараться всё делать очень аккуратно, а кто-то постарается, как можно скорее проскочить локацию и будет идти на риск, ввязываясь в различные ситуации. И тот и другой вариант в игре приветствуется! И разнообразие гаджетов позволяет проходить игру так, как хочется вам! Даже, если вы посмотрели на Ютубе и вам не понравилось, это не страшно, т.к. смотреть это действительно утомительно, но если у вас есть возможность попробовать поиграть самому, то вам обязательно нужно это сделать! Ощущения от управления персонажем на каком-то нереальном уровне! Ты чувствуешь каждый лишний киллограмм, ощущаешь все неровности рельефа, ну и плюс мультиплеерная составляющая. Это действительно работает. На определенном этапе прохождения ты начинаешь понимать, что вместо продвижения по сюжету, ты занимаешься застройкой, и делаешь ты это лишь для того, чтобы облегчить жизнь другим игрокам. И это всё абсолютно безвозмездно. Действительно чувствуешь себя первопроходцем! Но, что ещё круче, так это ощущение невероятного облегчения, когда ты , проделав огромный путь с тяжёлым грузом, где-то в горах, среди снега находишь постройку другого игрока, которая просто спасает тебе жизнь! И ты искренне засыпаешь его лайками! Не потому что тебе принесет это выгоду (лайки в игре это просто выражение благодарности), а потому, что ты действительно искренне благодарен! Такое в играх не часто встретишь! Ощущения невероятные! Смешиваются, с одной стороны, чувство одиночества, а с другой ощущение единства с другими игроками. Это не передать словами, это нужно пережить самому! И спасибо Хидео Кодзиме, что не боится создавать такие игры, не смотря на то, что его могут не понять, и затраты могут не окупиться. Это очень смело и заслуживает уважения!… 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.
