    Being interested in Kojima's separate career from Konami I followed with eager the development and periodical announcements of this game. Of course, as most of us, the story and gameplay intrigued me. I could not play the game after six months of its release and at the time I realized that there were divided opinions.

Of course, as most of us, the story and gameplay intrigued me. I could not play the game after six months of its release and at the time I realized that there were divided opinions.
    At first, the game is routine and repetitive. You deliver, and deliver, and deliver. Yes, the landscape in which you traverse each mission is comparable to any Icelandic landscape you see in documentaries, so every delivery is an eyegasm. This part of the game is critical. If you decide that you are not into a delivery simulation gameplay you will throw away one of the most immersive and scientifically satisfying stories you can get in a video game (a remark: I'm not saying scientifically accurate).
    After a quarter to a third of the game-run, the routine starts to entangle the complexity of each mission and their relationship with the story of your character and the entire world. Each time you think you are getting the hang of the missions you get surprised by the increasing menaces (and weight) that's expecting you around the corner. Each time you think you understand the explaining behind the whole setting of Death Stranding you are amazed by each data you collect and the NPC share with you, changing your previous understanding (and perhaps, if you are open-minded, your idea of the real-life itself).
    If you are expecting a game based in action, stealth, and character customization (such as previous Hideo Kojima's MGS videogame saga) you will not find it in Death Stranding. Whereas if you are trying to find a revealing game, a "gamechanger", a "different" game, Death Stranding it is (a remark: the previous statement does not mean that the game lacks in action and stealth, it's just that it is not filled with them).
    In conclusion, nowadays there are tons of action-filled games (and good games, such as Horizon, Zelda BoTW, God of War, TLoU), Death Stranding is not one of them. Complex stories, the ones that leave you thinking over and over in the toilet and shower (such as Christopher Nolan's film Interstellar) are the ones we are lacking today, and not everyone are ready for it, less they are ready to play that story in a videogame. And Death Stranding is one of the latter.    … Expand

    This game deserves a better rate. If a trash game like The Last of Us Part 2 can score 10/10, then this game deserves 20/10, since TLOU2 is a rubbish filled political agenda. Kudos to Kojima!!!

    Одно слово. Сюжет, сюжет и ещё раз сюжет. Актёрский состав, режиссёрская работа. Это не игра, а кино.

    Muito bom e inovador, as mecânicas são bem originais onde você te a possibilidade de controlar até o equilíbrio dos personagens, sem contar as milhares de referências! A história é um pouco a parte muito bem desenvolvida e envolvente.

    Exquisite it's the adjective I' ll apply to describe this unique and amazing game, I remember my first impact on the landscape, "Omg this is so beautiful", we have all in this experience, terror, drama, adventure, "the power of the porters community" only a few know what I'm talking about, and the path to the unknown, the soundtrack is also amazing. Its a must try/play game.

    I was never so excited when waiting for game release like for Death Stranding. I think I also had the most immersive experience of any games. Pre-ordered it for PS4 and then again on PC. Totally my GOTY.

    Ratings with 0 or 1 should be all deleted, because some people are just ungrateful and expect every game to be fun and easy to consume.

Я такой блять пздц и иду без них, пздц сложно качается башенка туда сюда, я себе чуть пальцы не сломал пока эту хуйню контролировал еще и гейпад лагает. В итоге иду такой блять уже весь потный, осталось 500 метров и у меняя блять ломаются ботинки. Я превращаюсь в улитку и двигаюсь со скоростью 2км в час, уже думаю похуй главное донести. Ребенок этот на груди кричит из за того, что я каждые две минуты об землю ебусь. В итоге дохожу уже до базы, уже метров 30 до пункта назначения И ЗНАЕТЕ ЧТО?

    Es muy difícil describir este juego. La historia es una maravilla, los gráficos de lo mejor que se ha hecho hasta ahora y la banda sonora impresionante. Si te han dicho que trata sobre repartir paquetes en plan glovo, no les creas. Dale una oportunidad porque es una pasada.

    The game is hard to get in to but once you get the grasp of it the game will be amazing. I don't need to talk about the graphics, it's unlike any other game. The story is kinda confusing in the beginning but it is not hard to understand, fighting is pretty fun and you will get a good sense of progression.

Not everyone will like this game of course, everyone has their own taste, but the game is definitely worth playing, even with the AAA price, you are getting much more content than most AAA games for the same price. And the amount of little details really amazed me. In conclusion: Death Stranding is an amazing game with an interesting and straightforward story. It is 100% worth trying at least, if it is not your taste, refund it.… Expand

    I spent an hour climbing a mountain only to fall back down to the bottom, breaking all my gear in the process. I decided to take a break and crush a Monster energy drink. Truly, this game is art.

    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.
