    Um dos melhores jogos que já joguei. Gráficos muito bons e a história sem duvida é absolutamente interessante. A trilha sonora é muito boa e combina muito com a estética do jogo. Parabéns kojima pela obra de arte.

    I have never seen a more innovative and ingenious game than this. the highlight is the absolutely complex but still incredible story. The gameplay is something new never seen before and when you start playing another game you notice that you lack the fantastic game mechanics and features that make this art innovative.

    Лучшая игра после Red dead redemption 2. Не жалею что прошёл её. Платина гарантирована. Концовка заставит заплакать даже самого сдержанного.

    Most negative reviews come from the current way the west and other areas interpret both games and art itself while most people thought that this was going to be an action-packed game.

I think this game should've had a demo to prevent people from thinking it was going to be an traditional experience or like Call of Duty. The game takes an abstract approach to story telling and uses experience, time, and struggle as a basis for the theme of connection that is present in the game. You also connect with other players and can use their buildings and they can use yours. It's all about thinking HOW other players INDIRECTLY (as opposed with directly in other games) help us and how we can do the same by connecting with them. There's other messages to be found in the game, but that's the simplified main theme of the game. Overall, the game is beautiful and has an amazing message. I would buy it, even if it means waiting for sale if you feel hesitation. Expand

    It starts slow but after you start to get the system, it becomes more fun, nice graphics, original gameplay and mechanics and very interesting original story, and the most important the more you play the more you understand what Kojima was trying to do, it is a game about collaboration and community and sharing and collaboration to make it through, I love it

    I almost stopped playing this game after a few days as I thought it was dull, but HOW WRONG I WAS!

    I played and completed this game OFFLINE and solo, building all of the roads, sourcing all of the metals and ceramics etc. It ended up being a lonely existence! Sourcing materials & maintaining roads is hard when playing solo, fighting BTs, mules and terrorists is the easy part really.

    However, then I went online and wow, absolutely phenomenal! I gained 150K likes and all of a sudden a whole new world opened up to me! It highlighted just how much easier things are when you collaborate.

    This is the most addictive game I've ever played, which, considering what you do in the game is simply amazing! The graphics are second to none, and the hiking gameplay is almost realistic - its almost exhausting at times walking over mountains - awesome experience! Plus the storyline and cutscenes are superb. I loved it, such depth!

    Excellent open world game that I've played for over 200 hours...I am the great deliverer!

    UPDATE: I came back to this game after 2 years and played online from the start on difficult level. Not only is it so much easier online than offline, but its so much more fun, and the storyline is so much more engaging and understandable. For me this is one of the best storylines of any game and the acting is awesome. Fighting Cliff in WW1 and WW2 and fighting Higgs are tricky, but well worth the effort. An AWESOME GAME.

    Игра шикарная, одна из не многих которая заставляет задуматьтся после прохождения, шутки про симулятор доставщика все-таки про эту игру, но что-то в этом есть раздавать заказы под шикарные сандтреки игры идтя по равнинам и скалам. Но не многим это понравится.

    To Hideo Kojima: Stick to your guns!

    I made a game inspired by Death Stranding. Looks like there are some negative reviews but it's a good game :) most of all, it's not violent

    I'll start telling to you this game it's not for everyone! But... There's no technical mistakes, the game is perfect in this point. A excellent soundtrack follow you in the map. The construction of the NPC's and their history and background is explained with details along the gameplay and it surprise you at all time. The gameplay is simple and a little repetitive. Your mission is reconectI'll start telling to you this game it's not for everyone! But... There's no technical mistakes, the game is perfect in this point. A excellent soundtrack follow you in the map. The construction of the NPC's and their history and background is explained with details along the gameplay and it surprise you at all time. The gameplay is simple and a little repetitive. Your mission is reconect the America doing deliverys bettween the cities, so you just have to take packages from point A and deliver to point B. In this process, sometimes you'll fight against PT's (ghosts) and human enemies or just pass over ther in stelth mode (it's your choice). When you high your relation with a NPC will be able to improve your equipments to make your journey more easy or faster. The great point of the game in my opinion, is the community support. Everywhere has a bridge, rope, stairs, vehicles or items constructed by the community. When you build a road or somenthing that's will help another player, you feel a good felling. It's a great game, one of the best games of PS4. You must play until chapter 4 or 5 to understand a little bit. Expand

    This game is a masterpiece, I had so much fun playing it, the OSTs are nothing short than amazing. I feel sorry for the people who didn't liked it, but I understand why, one of the big reasons is that the game is so slow until the end of chapter 3.

    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.
