    Many will not agree but this is my GOTY,
    If you enjoy Metal Gear Solid and a Animal Crossing (weird mix I know), you will love this game

    Best game i've ever played. There's a strong message of how our society is evolving, how we can help each others and how is important for the human kind to be connected in peace. So it's a game with a real soul, a game for those who don't just want to run and shoot.

    For me this is the second best game on PS4, directly after Horizon Zero Dawn. I really enjoyed playing it and couldn't wait to see how it ends.

    Of course the story is sometimes confusing, but it is a Kojima game, it must be confusing :) It is of course not a game for fans of straight forward Shooters like Call of Duty or Battlefield where you know after 3 minutes what you will do the

    It is of course not a game for fans of straight forward Shooters like Call of Duty or Battlefield where you know after 3 minutes what you will do the next 40 hours, hide behind a box, kill next enemy, hide behind a box ...

    I played enough of this sort of games and get bored of always the same kind of gameplay. So it is good to see that some Designers try different approach.

    The hate surrounding Death stranding is fake, false, and is nothing but a bunch of idiots there complain about a game being the same every year but when death stranding which is a game that is very original very new and is very different comes out they complain about it. Death stranding is one of the most unique experiences I have ever played the best game of 2019

    Несмотря на некоторую размеренность игрового процесса, это все-таки лучшее, во что довелось играть за этот год.

    Kojima é um gênio dos vídeos games!! Seu nome será lembrado para sempre. Free Fire não chega nem perto desse jogo.

    Lo que no entiendo, por que la gente de queja tanto de que el juego es malo.... el juego esta hecho para no pelea, para no matar.. solo detener a los enemigos y ya

    Bold, comforting, simple and compelling. Those are the 4 words that defined my Death Stranding experience as a player.

The message it carries and all its positivity in a death surrounded world are remarkably one of the most original setting I've seen in this generation. Kojima has yet again outdone himself. The entire cast felt convincing, the world, despite its emptiness and loneliness, feels comfortable, like lying under a blanket in a rainy day. I don't know if the game needed to exist or if it will create a genre but that's how art goes and as far as playing, I've experienced a 100% bug-free gameplay, with incredible animations, smooth and addicting gameplay and memorable set-pieces. For me Death Stranding is a 10/10 and my Game of the Year for 2019 Expand

    Una gran obra maestra en todos los sentidos. Gran historia, elementos y mecánicas muy interesantes, música excepcional, diseño gráfico espectacular, mundo abierto y entorno con dificultad.
    El poder interactuar con BB, con Sam, y con el medio es alucinante. Realmente estoy muy complacido con este juego. Es una pena que haya gente que lo critique tan duramente, pues no es para catalogarlo
    Una gran obra maestra en todos los sentidos. Gran historia, elementos y mecánicas muy interesantes, música excepcional, diseño gráfico espectacular, mundo abierto y entorno con dificultad.
    El poder interactuar con BB, con Sam, y con el medio es alucinante. Realmente estoy muy complacido con este juego. Es una pena que haya gente que lo critique tan duramente, pues no es para catalogarlo de tal manera. He jugado unas 405 horas, y me imagino que continuaré. Entiendo que haya gente que no les guste el juego, pero de ahí a insultarlo, odiarlo y hacer campaña para que no se lleve ningún premio es pasarse. Hoy día el público es tan crítico y tan ignorante, que no vería una obra maestra aunque lo tuvieran delante de la cara.
    Se ha llevado más de 90 premios a mejor juego del año, y espero que siga así.

    No sé si esta reseña valdrá para alguien, pero espero que el público de esta industria tan maravillosa que tenemos, dé una oportunidad no solo a juegos triples AAA sino también a Indies. Ya que si no fuera por estos juegos tan innovadores, no tendríamos obras tan ilustres y especiales como tenemos hoy día.

    There are only two types of people that do not love this game: Those who have not completed the story and those who have no creativity. This game is art. To the “gamers” who solely love adrenaline giving games, do not rate this... it may just go over your head. For the rest of you, play this game. Appreciate the art and be inspired by it’s uniqueness. Rarely do games come out like this.

    A word to the wise is sufficient:

    The game is dope!

    I'm really enjoying everything about it.
    I'm so glad I didn't listen to the bad reviews or critics and bought this game. You have to try it yourself otherwise you'll never know, that is all I can say.

    Many thanks to Mr. kojima and Mr. Reedus and thanks to all the crew that made this game possible

    Muy buen juego, inentendible para fanáticos de COD y cabezas cuadradas. Es evidente que el autor despierta mucha envidia y bronca pero eso no quita que el juego sea excelente. Prácticamente un nuevo género.

    Кодзима смог придумать действительно нечно новое в игровой индустрии. "Симулятор курьера" шутили игроки. Но ведь так и есть, игру надо расценивать как очень качественный симулятор: планирование маршрута, распределение груза, качественная симуляция ходьбы, особенно по пересеченной местности, взаимодействие с другими игроками посредством построек и лайков - вот в чем главная фишка игры.

Всё это приправлено прекрасным сюжетом в стиле Кодзимы, кинематографичными кат-сценами, великолепными саундтреками, и в целом ощущения спокойствия, медитативности (не всегда конечно, но в большей части времени). Из минусов я отмечу: физику транспорта, хоть иногда "залезать" на мотоцикле на скалы было и весело и необходимо; тупой ИИ МУЛов и террористов, хотя скрыться от них тяжело; несколько моментов игры, где надо было "играть в шутер", а стрельба не очень удобная, да и 30 фпс.
    Понимаю, почему многим не зашел геймплей, и он для них стал дико скучным, но это же не повод ставить очень низкие оценки. Игра ведь сделана очень качественно, лично меня она очень затянула именно своим необычным геймплеем, и я планирую выбить платину

    I registered specifically here for this game. No it's not for everyone, but yes it's a masterpiece. Though it's not an action game, the immersion is awesome. I'm fascinated by it. Play online and you'll get surprises that I won't tell, but it's one of the best games I played. Kojima is a genius, period. Note that it takes few hours to start feeling rewarded, but yes it's worth playing it.

    Love this game ! Such an awesome opening ! The game is really a beautiful piece of art, incredible game design with such amazing music! Yes, you will have to walk many and many miles but the story is such epic! Don't hesitate and play on this treasure! Video games aren't only like Cal of duty and others like that... Appreciate it!

    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.
