    A good game. Requires an adult player, a cultured person, no ok for kids or simple people.

    I can only fell sorry for Kojima. He made one of the best games ever. Those fools that gave it a low grade couldn't understand one bit cause they are used to Battlefield or CoD filled with fights and deaths or maybe they are just haters.
    This game is relaxing, has mistery and most important: a great story. A really new and unique experience.

    I feel that it is a spectacular game although the start is slow soon after you start to appreciate the landscapes and have fun to be able to explore the map at the moment of distributing something I feel that it is one of the games that I liked most of this year 2019

    Pathetic **** "Anti-The Witcher 3". While in “The Witcher 3” a very good attempt was made to turn the gameplay into a constant need to make choices and influence the world of the game, then all Death Stranding is the “bring / take” gameplay brought to the point of absurdity.

    A lot of these people seem to have no idea what makes this game special.

Also I wouldn't be motivated to do the side quests because in the end, yes, you are mostly delivering stuff, but walking around the world with BTs and MULEs at every corner, connecting with people all over the world as well as with the characters in the game is really a special experience and I would recommend everyone to try this game, it might not be for everyone, but there is deeper meaning behind everything in the game and the fact that Kojima and his team put so much thought and love into this game should be appreciated. It's definitely a GOTY candidate for me. If you can't handle a good story or unique gameplay and expected something that isn't down to earth and Kojima-style game then you haven't paid attention. It really starts getting more intense the more you get on with it and the once rather annoying game mechanics get eased a lot by a lot of gadgets you obtain during the story. If you take a look at these negative reviews, most of them seem to have no idea what this game is all about, don't listen to them, if you think this game looks intriguing try it out, I found the first few hours a bit slow but I got hooked right after and played 4-5 days straight until I got to the end. Think about what Kojima wanted to tell us with these parallels to our own fractured society and the metaphors within the game and you might find yourself enjoying the game as much as I did… Expand

    Después de días de jugarlo solo tengo que decir que fue gratificante, al ver los gameplays debo decir que no me llamaba la atención pero al jugarlo me di cuenta de lo equivocado que estaba. Es diferente y un respiro a los mismos juegos de siempre con diferente titulo.

    The game brought many innovations in the game, a change of scenery is something never seen in a game and a story is a very interesting and high point of this work. Grade 10.

    How much money did all those critics got payed ? How many bots did they use for lifting the user score ? Disgusting use of Metacritic just for lies. Is the game a beautiful masterpiece ? Yes. But Is also the most boring one you will ever play.

    Juego aburrido, mecánicas de juego regulares. En fin, creo que el fin de un videojuego es divertir, y este juego no lo hace. Debió haber hecho una película en vez de un juego.

    Unlike any other game I've experienced before, Death Stranding reminds me of my favorite quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, that "The earth teaches us more about ourselves than all the books in the world. Because it resists us."

The first few hours are too heavy on the cut-scenes, although I found the story and    Unlike any other game I've experienced before, Death Stranding reminds me of my favorite quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, that "The earth teaches us more about ourselves than all the books in the world.

    Death Stranding is video game poetry. As such, it is not for everyone. The first few hours are too heavy on the cut-scenes, although I found the story and execution fantastic. After that, you will find an expansive, meditative game, with landscape as obstacle, puzzle, and challenge. Also worth noting, the conceptual design, from the vastness of the territory, to the architecture, to the smallest objects and gadgets, is extraordinary.
    This is a game that may have been wrongfully marketed for the mainstream audience, and it won't appeal to much of it. Hey, some people even find Red Dead Redemption 2 boring, so go figure. But make no mistake, this is a monument of a game. It is bold, over-the-top brilliant and beautiful.    … Expand

    Despues de decir todo esto y siendo alguien que le encanta los JRPG yo si lo jugaria pero por todos esos GRANDES detalles no se acerca a un juego sobre 5 de 10 o inclusive menos, tiene muchos pero muchos detalles horribles, falta mucho por pulir...    … 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.
