    El juego es unico, la mecanica de entregar paquetes puede ser cuestionable, pero la gran historia y la gran jugabilidad lo hacen unico, lo acabo de terminar y me encanto, no es para todos, pero todos deberian probarlo al menos.

    Death Stranding is much better that it seems at first. It is a very special and unique videogame. After finishing it, you will look back and recognize Death Stranding like the masterpiece that it truly is.

    O game é diferente e extraordinário. Te faz querer jogar mais e mais.
    Game vicia. Você não quer parar de jogar até desvendar toda a história e sabe quando você vai conseguir isso? Só no final do game você consegue entender sem entender ao mesmo tempo, isso mesmo. Jogo é incrível.
    Jogo peca em alguns detalhes, principal na física.

    I can totally see why someone would hate this game, deem it obnoxious and full of itself, and just see it as a tiresome bore that's devoid of fun, but I also see why someone can call it a masterpiece. I get it. I really do. It's definitely not for everyone out there. It takes a certain level of patience to play. Not the kind of patience that everyone has.

I get it. I really do. It's definitely not for everyone out there. It takes a certain level of patience to play. Not the kind of patience that everyone has. There's no question that games SHOULD be fun, right? Otherwise what's the point. But this game is clearly trying to invoke a certain feeling from you, albeit frustration, anger, exhuastion, sadness, etc. and I think it's gonna resonate in various ways for all kinds of people who are open to try it. You still may not like it but if you're ever looking for a completely unique, original experience then look no further. But me? I love this game. I really do. Yes, you're delivering packages but there's much more to it than that and delivering these packages can be strangely addicting and satisfying. It's a strategy game in a lot of ways and the way it implements multiplayer is nothing short of brilliant. I found myself building structures to help not only myself but others, often having my structures overwhelmed with likes given to me by other people who encountered them. It invoked a great feeling and it was awesome when someone would leave a helpful thing for me, especially when I needed it at the time. To me, THAT was what I found fun. The passion put into the game is undeniable and it shows. It truly feels like a long journey and it's very immersive due to the sound design and visuals being top notch. The narritive, I think is well told, very intriguing and clearly has a message that it wants to convey, though expect it to be in a very "Kojima" manner, but nontheless, easy enough to understand within the rules that universe establishes. Cutscenes CAN get lengthy from time to time but I couldn't help but be mesmerized during each one. They're shot so expertly and well acted that I was hooked to every scene, which was also fantastically emphasised by the AMAZING soundtrack this game has. Both the Original score and the songs borrowed from other artists simply just works for this...That's all I can say. I'll be walking along, making a delivery and a certain feeling will be going through my head and this song will suddenly come on and it just fits that moment perfectly and helps reinforce the way I happen to be thinking and feeling at that particular point in the game, with the environment I'm trekking through. If you just play along and let it do it's thing, it makes for some really special moments on your journey. I've downloaded at least 10 songs from this game onto my phone. A mix of the OST and the borrowed songs. Music is just perfectly implemented every time and I've never seen anything quite like it with a game. It's special. I've been frustrated by the game at times, yes. It's not perfect at all and I can see why it's so polarizing amongst the community of people who have actually played it, but I couldn't help but be on the side that loves it a lot. I played a 110 hours by the time I was done attaining the Platinum trophy for it and I'm still thinking about the game long after it ended. So many things I truly loved about it. If you ever bring yourself to give this game a chance, go for it. It honestly might surprise you, as it did with me.… Expand

    It seems it is cool to hate things these days based on emotion, perception and ignorance. For all those ‘players’ who have left the game a 0 negative review, I bet that nearly all of them haven’t even played the game let alone spent the 40+ hours required to finish it.

    Nonetheless, the many hours I have spent with the game has been great. It’s gorgeous, the story is mysterious and the setting disturbing. Is it a game based on fast paced, adrenaline spiking action? No. Is it methodically paced, creepy and downright atmospheric? Yes. This game isn’t for those who are hooked receiving copious amounts of instant gratification nor those who simply want to tea bag other players online. You will require patience and the willingness to accept a perfect blend of story telling and gameplay. Basically, you’ll enjoy the game if you’re not a bland, bottom feeding meat head. But there are accusations of it being a ‘walking simulator’ and repetitive. I can’t argue too much here because there is lots of walking but this is evenly split up by the narrative and combat more than enough to keep the progression flowing. But the game is gorgeous and there’s plenty of challenges traversing the terrain where you almost always decide what route to take. I do however feel that the reports of ‘repetitive gameplay’ need to fall on deaf ears because it’s no where near as repetitive as sports sim games like Madden, Fifa, Football manager or shooters like Fortnite, CoD, Overwatch and numerous other games where you rinse and repeat the same maps, same game modes and same objectives. Hell, people have been performing the same old quests on WoW and other MMO’s for over a decade and racing around the same tracks in racing sims for just as long. Ultimately, I would compare this game to a great book that you’d invest your time in rather than a TV series you’ll binge watch in one day. It definitely hooks you in and has a very compelling backstory that you’ll be itching to uncover as you play. It’s not for everyone and it’s not meant to be but we do love in a culture where people want more, faster and to be rewarded for less effort. And you will need to put effort into this game. In the end, the haunting yet calming feeling of walking through the mountains alone becomes addictive in the best sense of the word. Combine that with indescribable creatures, perfectly blended horror tones throughout alongside a truly unique setting and aesthetic, then you’ve got yourself a masterpiece. My only gripe would be the desire to visit other climates but that is a minor concern on what is an overall fantastic game.    … Expand

Es en ocasiones, un ejercicio meditativo, en soledad, donde llegar a la meta es un camino arduo y exhausto, aunque también tiene su planificación entre tanta lucha desesperada contra fuerzas antagónicas que escapan de nuestro control.

    Kojima habla de mucho en este juego. Me sobra algo de metraje y ciertos monólogos cargados de exposición se me hacen excesivos y redundantes, su villano me resulta plano y creo que el tutorial está mal estructurado con la trama (los capítulos 2 y 3 son imperdonablemente largos) pero a pesar de todo, termino Death Stranding emocionado y tremendamente satisfecho ante lo que me parece un triunfo de un gran creador.    … Expand

    This is not an action game, most people who bought the game went into it thinking it would be, but it's not. It's a slow paced progression game, and if you're into that I'd highly recommend it.

    So I just finished the game and felt like I had to leave a review to counter a bit of the hate on here.
    It took me about 49 hours to complete all the chapters, doing quite a number of side missions, but not nearly all of them.
    And I just have to say that this has been one of the most unique game experiences I've had in a long time. And last time I felt so immersed in a game was last    So I just finished the game and felt like I had to leave a review to counter a bit of the hate on here.
    It took me about 49 hours to complete all the chapters, doing quite a number of side missions, but not nearly all of them.

    And I just have to say that this has been one of the most unique game experiences I've had in a long time. And last time I felt so immersed in a game was last year with read dead. And contrary to what has been going around on the internet, I’ve had fun with the game from the moment I started it.
    The gameplay is very strategic, deals with a lot of management and is downright addicting and thrilling. Having to move a **** ton of cargo through a challenging terrain, planning your route, planning the trip, dealing with all the obstacles and challenges along the way. Also the passing in which the map and upgrades are revealed and implemented is amazing, changing up the core gameplay with crazy bosses and other mini gameplay elements that we come to know from Kojima.
    Also the online element is really cool and refreshing. Had so much fun seeing other peoples structures and signs, helping me out and making my travels easter.
    The story is fun and interesting. It’s a bit mystical and has many fantasy elements. But it also deals with some more philosophical and more current subjects. Some that our friends from the US might take a bit too personal, especially coming from a non-american. And I feel like some journalists and internet media kinda showed how toxic they can be, when creators don’t show America in the fantastic light, leading the world and propagating how great of a country it is.
    So I think a lot of the hate also comes from this. And the fact that they take what Kojima said about Americans liking shooters more, being taken too personal. And If you rate this game 0 because of that… Pretty pathetic I must say.

    All and all, I feel like we had these sort of weird experiences a lot more in the PS2 and GameCube era. I guess gamers were a little different back then. And I don’t understand all the fuss. It’s a really, really good game. Sure, silly at times, maybe even a bit cringy. But that’s Ok. It’s unapologetically itself. And I’m pretty sure that this game will reveal itself to be a pretty big cult classic and all the downvotes in the world isn’t going to change that. Why? You might ask? Because, again, It’s really that good. You just need to give it time to breathe and don’t rush to finish it in under forty hours. And to top it all off: 1) No microtransactions 2) a completely new and super creative IP from great talents in gaming and film. 3) A story that ends and doesn’t build up to a shared universe!

    I recommend this to anyone who likes strategy, the best item management since RE4, creative story, amazing environments and taking their time. Be patient and be open to what this game wants to give, and you’ll probably be as addicted and fascinated with this game as I am.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Diante de tantas opiniões divergentes, comprei o jogo (na oferta) para ter a minha própria opinião. O jogo é muito bom! Não é apenas "ficar andando de um lado para o outro." Você tem que ter planejamento das ações, avaliar o melhor caminho a seguir, ter uma ordem racional e eficaz de entregas, saber utilizar os inúmeros recursos que o jogo dispõe para facilitar a jornada (veículos, roupas especiais, trator flutuante), saber lidar com as condições temporais e com o desgaste natural dos objetos. Realmente, não é "divertido" em um senso comum, e além disso é um jogo lento e contemplativo. Ao mesmo tempo é bastante viciante. Entendo quem acha o jogo ruim, as vezes o jogo cria dificuldades desnecessárias, como aquela falha geológica gigante no solo.

    Death Stranding no es el juego a la que la industria nos tiene acostumbrados. Kojima ha creado algo críptico, un título que en mi experiencia tras jugarlo unas horas aún me tiene con varias dudas, pero a la expectativa de lo que viene.

Kojima ha creado algo críptico, un título que en mi experiencia tras jugarlo unas horas aún me tiene con varias dudas, pero a la expectativa de lo que viene.

    El título nos habla sobre la gran profundidad de la vida y la muerte, su unión y nexo del ser humano con sus virtudes y sus defectos con el mundo que lo rodea, lo ético, lo moral, en una visión dónde la ciencia, la tecnología, la filosofía incluso la física cuántica tienen una fuerte conexión a pesar de no tener la misma ideología.

    ¿Es un mundo abierto? Sin duda, con diferentes posibilidades y aunque parezca muerto tiene muchas cosas interesantes que te darán horas de entretenimiento, que van desde la gestión de tus recursos para atravesar el Estados Unidos post Apocalíptico, optar entre el sigilo o la acción cuando nos encontramos con las personas que no quieren que el mundo vuelva a ser lo de antes.

    Tendremos que elegir entre matar o no matar ya que en algunos casos esto tendrá graves consecuencias.La interfaz del juego presenta algunas carencias pero que se notan poco por las diferentes herramientas que dispondremos que nos ayudarán en nuestros viajes y que como toda interfaz compleja se va tener que ir aprendiendo poco a poco, ya que aprender bien todo el abanico del que disponemos se le debe de dar un buen tiempo.

    El motor de Guerrilla Games, el Décima Engine, fue muy bien utilizado, dándonos una joya gráfica, algo sobresaliente en las texturas, brillos y los componentes técnicos.
    El OST del título está magistralmente implementado donde cada pista tiene conexión con lo que estamos viviendo dentro del título.

    Habrá un objeto importante y vital en el juego y una empresa que trata de reconectar al mundo para volver a empezar de cero.

    Todas las zonas de acción están bien implementadas y que interactúa muy bien con el terreno que ocupa, además de que el clima será parte importante a la hora de gestionar nuestro equipamiento e incluso la parte del equilibrio del equipaje. Todo en el juego encaja perfectamente y no hay nada que sobre. No nos podemos olvidar de las armas no letales que serán de vital importancia en el combate, salvo que nos encontremos con unos entes invisibles que no nos lo pondrán nada fácil.

    Un punto muy interesante en el título Death Stranding es su participación Online, el cual nos conectará en ciertos puntos donde podemos interactuar y no sólo usar lo que otros usuarios han podido crear espacios para que nuestro viaje sea más ameno, si no que también nos invita a ser parte de esta comunidad dando varias mejoras desde exoesqueletos, estaciones de recarga, refugios y estructuras complejas para cada material. Por supuesto, el crafteo será una constante en la aventura y no solamente tendremos historia y misiones secundarias, sino otras posibilidades y varias sorpresas.

    Los Likes y las personas con las cuales conectamos, e incluso aquellas que nos siguen o seguimos, hacen de éste, un sistema complejo pero muy útil en el desarrollo del título.

    Muchos creen que el título va de ir del punto A al punto B, un grave error, ya que más allá de hacer las misiones de la historia, cada cosa, objeto, acción, cada personaje, tiene una influencia al azar en cada usuario, debo enfatizar el Azar. Un modo de juego varía el desarrollo de toda la trama de un usuario a otro, eso sí, el argumento principal, tiene cosas intocables y muy profundas como bien comentábamos, pero también tendremos plena libertad para enfocar cada situación de manera diferente.

    El sistema de combate es muy simple y esto se puede deber a que realmente casi no lo usaremos, salvo cuando entremos a ciertos campamentos o nos topemos con los entes llamados EV's, lo cierto es que habrá grandes consecuencias si llegamos a fallar, sin duda alguno que otro fallará, Death Stranding no es un MGS en cuestión de lucha, flojea en ese aspecto pero porque su fortaleza esta en los otros aspectos, por ejemplo el de Crafteo.

    Otro punto fuerte del juego y es algo a lo que ya nos tiene acostumbrados Hideo Kojima es su historia, a pesar de tener cinemáticas largas, todo es espectacular, como dije al principio, tal vez no entiendas ni jota, pero conforme avanzas y descubres de que va, te va dejando con ganas de ir sabiendo más y más.

    Algunas zonas, amplios, vastos y numerosos terrenos o parajes, se hacen un poco tediosos si no estamos preparados, y otros parajes recónditos, vacíos de vida, que es lo normal, pero todo está bien balanceado.

    La jugabilidad es exuberante y es fluida, pero todo, y vuelvo a repetir, todo, absolutamente todo, importa en el juego, hasta el peso, la naturaleza, el clima, la persona, etcétera...

    El mensaje está claro y el EQUILIBRIO, la SOCIEDAD y el DESTINO DE LA HUMANIDAD, depende de nosotros principalmente ¿O QUIZÁS NO ES ASÍ?    … 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.
