    Unlike anything that I ever tried! Graphic is mind blowing and gameplay looks challenging.

    Only Kojima could have made this game. Take that how you will. Game on my friends!

    En lo que llevo de juego es una gran historia y si, me parece un simulador de caminar pero es asombroso como es que hicieron que una actividad como caminar sea mas entretenida que juegos de guerra y acción y lo que falta...

    It's sad to say, but people this days become so stupid that it's actually scary. Almost all negative comments repeats each other. "Where is gameplay? I dont know what to do in this game!"

    This game will not be for everyone, I think the negative feedback is from people not looking to try something new but the same cookie cutter type game as every other developer. I'm 12 hours in and love it. If you're after an experience then it's the right game for you.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Утверждать, что Кодзима ГЕНИЙ, пока не стану, т.к. не прошёл сюжет полностью, но наиграв не малое кол-во часов уже могу сказать о плюсах и минусах игры(имхо).
    Плюсы:
    -интригующий сюжет
    -классный визуал
    -музыкальное сопровождение
    -действительно новый геймплей
    Минусы(вернее один но очень ВАЖНЫЙ):
    -игра может оттолкнуть своей медитативностью. Она слишком медлительна и монотонна. ВЫХОД СМЕРТИ(боже) отнимет у вас кучу времени и сил, если вы не любите подобные проекты. Но если вам нравится куча мелких геймплейных механик, вы любите досконально изучать миры и вы наслаждаетесь от вдумчивого сюжета, то это ваша игра

    Stunning and engaging. I imagine people who find it boring should probably stick to fortnite and COD.

    The games cut scenes are like movie levels.
    Game play has a learning curve, but after unlocking more items and getting a hang of the mechanics, it opens up tons of ways to play it.
    And you would really appreciate a ladder or rope put by others when you are on a steep slope and carting a heavy cargo.
    This is the type of game i was looking for!

    Facilmente o melhor jogo deste ano. Não joguei outros jogos do Hideo Kojima, por isso não estou habituado à maneira como ele idealiza seus projetos, porém, fiquei encantado desde o primeiro trailer do jogo, exatamente como estou agora ao jogá-lo!

Não joguei outros jogos do Hideo Kojima, por isso não estou habituado à maneira como ele idealiza seus projetos, porém, fiquei encantado desde o primeiro trailer do jogo, exatamente como estou agora ao jogá-lo! A ideia de reconectar o país através de algo simples como entregas é uma ideia incrível e inovadora, não me sinto jogando apenas mais um jogo mata-mata ou que eu tenha que cavalgar, dar uns tiros e fugir da polícia. Como ainda estou bem no começo, não posso opinar sobre a história, entretanto, a tensão, a exploração, ritmo dos acontecimentos, beleza dos cenários e interações com o mapa e com o próprio jogo já me fizeram vê-lo como algo melhor do que qualquer outro jogo lançado até o momento neste ano.

    A marvelous “thing” , as it is more than just a game. The script is of oscar value, directing , story, photography as well. It is not a game for everyone , meaning that one should value detail to value a game such as death stranding, so strange at first glance yet so true. Is one of those rare games that makes you play again like a teen , 6-7 hours a day. Wonderful experience, everythingA marvelous “thing” , as it is more than just a game.

    I don't think anyone can explain how good this game is, haven't gotten frustrated at this game at all yet, and Kojima still makes very good stories and characters.

    Beautiful looking game, beautiful landscapes and overall a relaxing, intuitive and low pacing experience. The soundtrack and story are amazing and it's perfect for those who love the Kojima games and low paced games. Not for Call of Duty hardcore fans.

    I loved every menial task in Red Dead Redemption 2, cooking, hunting, shopping whatever, the slow paced moments really helped me absorb the feel of the game and get lost in the world.
    It’s the same for this game. Death Stranding isn’t supposed to be Destiny, a mindless shooter. It’s a thoughtful experience that you get out of what you put in, plain and simple. Some will love it, others

    I'm 15 hours in and I can't get enough of this game. It's not for everyone - it's different, and it takes its sweet time. What you'll find here though is a game that's at times deeply calming and meditative, at other times horrifying and adrenaline pumping, but is at all times a deeply touching statement on the community humans can create when they're forced to come together.

    I find myself addicted to the process of delivering packages - every moment requires focus, as the terrain itself is your adversary. That deep requirement of attention allows me to forget, for once, much of the other stress on my mind, whereas traveling in other games is often meaningless and completely uninvolved.

    I love this game. I love what this game means for the industry. If you're going to pick it up, make sure to give it an honest chance.

    Single handedly the best game of this generation. Kojima has mastered his craft with an unfiltered look into a post apocalyptic America. It's dark haunting and beautifully crafted. Don't let the review bombing scare you away from this uniquely genre defining game. Highly Recommended

    Death Stranding is a beautiful game in all ways.
    It’s fresh it’s something new it’s letting the player think for once about other instead of pushing them away.
    Great acting beautiful music for me this is a masterpiece!

    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.
