    Death Stranding is the best game of the year and the most unusual game of all time. This game I liked very much, I recommend it to everyone. :)

Allmost every delivery or retrieval became it's own narative and I had to use some creative means getting places with the many tools provided and made preparing for the journey a real thing and such an immersive experience. At times the game has me on the tip of my chair in these intense BT encounters and the true sense of relaxing once you manage to get passed them and get greeted by graphicly gorgeous looking landscapes, living in iceland myself I can really recognise where Kojima got his inspirarion from and at times looks really close to the real thing. If you are the kind of player that likes immersion, desolation, and an end-of-time setting that isn't so much combat oriented and can take a moment to stand still and enjoy a view then this is a must buy!

    This 10 is a shame. Because ive yet to clear the game. I am in love with it at the moment and feeling I need to balance out people who have an agenda and are neg bombing this game quite clearly.

    Great Game, not for everyone sure. Kojima San reinvented wallk simulator. No one more game can make you happy just for the walking from spot A to spot B.

    Игра захватывает подачей сюжета и впечатляет художественностью. Размышления по поводу жизни и смерти переплетаются с монотонной курьерской деятельностью.

    Unique game. Setting and story keep you engaged and wanting to see what's next. The cast is top notch and believable. Trying to bring people together and why you deliver parcels is tied in the story and why you are doing this. Kojima branched out to try something different and to me this paid off, to take risks. This game isn't for everyone and that's ok.

    Just as in the game, where the "Death Stranding" divided humanity, here we are, divided in reviewing this masterpiece, victims to yet another kind of "death stranding".

In all likelihood, Kojima did predict this, which just further shows the genius inside the mind of the game's creator. "Death Stranding" is a new type of medium, which reflects its own reality into our own: a reality of being divided, "not connected". "Death Stranding" is probably the first game ever, and will maybe be the only one, to so efficiently spread its message by reproducing its catastrophe, the "Death Stranding", specifically in how we see this game, and, more "universally" speaking, to how we humans, as beings belonging to different cultures, often look in a hostile way to other men, or even worse, declare our culture superior, as history has already too many times proven. Kojima understood that, and made it his purpose to show us this everlasting flaw in mankind. "Death Stranding" dystopic future is already looming upon us: humanity as a whole is the only entity capable of rewriting our destiny. Expand

    Игра от Гения получилась достаточно гениальной , с первых минут мир DEATH STRANDING завораживает своей красотой . Геймплей удивляет на протяжении всей компании .
    Игру проходил на сложном уровне и не почувствовал некого дискомфорта , если изначально все продумать и не делать поспешных решений и действий , то играется очень приятно (даже на сложном уровне !)
    Музыка :10/10 ( всегда играет там

    Essas palavras resumem bem o jogo, pra se colocar uma nota a baixo de 8 tem que ser no mínimo mau caratismo.

Death Stranding isn’t just a game, it’s an experience, a journey, a marvel. A game that definitely requires patience but is more than rewarded in the long term. There are few minor gripes within the menus, not very clear and precise but minor gripes. This game is important coz it’s about connection, and we all need it. It’s a game of great importance and it’s now we need it. Expand

    It’s so interesting to stop.
    It's a delivery game, but it's also a stealth game or a mountaineering game.
    Moreover, this game still has weapons!
    Looking for a way on the rock wall, sitting on the top of the mountain and looking around, it is very satisfying.
    All kinds of indicators should be used well and come out of their own path. www

    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. [Issue#299]

    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.
