    The game is truly awesome. Kojima-san made a game, that he dreamed about and promised us about. I don't have same feelings as other users have, i personally think, that his is a masterpiece here.
    Thank you, Kojima-san, truly a genius.
    От всех твоих российских фанатов.

    I’m so glad i did not listen to the reviews of this game.

    What a great journey, diverse gameplay elements and unique concept. I truly enjoyed every single minute of this masterpiece.

    The Story, Music and Atmosphere all delivered.

    A must play!

    I fell asleep playing, and I'm serious!
    Long cutscenes!
    Walking for hours to talk to holograms is not my style.

    Este juego merece un 100, la jugabilidad es buena y entera en este ámbito se trata de ir de un punto a otro en misiones no repetitivas
    Las cinemáticas al comienzo del juego son perfectas.
    La historia es buena y es sublime esta al nivel de profundidad de otros grandes exclusivos de ps4.

    This is the most boring game I have ever played in my life. waste of money. I really wanted to love this game but to try to convince myself otherwise would be putting me in an abusive relationship with this game. I shouldn't try to have fun in a game. The game should be trying for my attention, not the other way around.

    For someone to call this game just a "walking simulator" is a clear indicator that they haven't either played the game at all or at the very least haven't played the game for more than an hour.

This game is breathtaking and complex in gameplay, world size, and plot. Straight from the get go there is a ton of words and language thrown at the player that are deep in complexity and aren't necessarily explained or defined from the start, but as the player continues playing more plot elements are added and explained. As for gameplay, it's much more complicated than "just walking". There are a ton of weapons, gear, towers, bridges, and much more to build and create both to help yourself and other players online. Every time you build something the game tells you when another player uses it. As you get better at the game you'll discover easier paths to travel and faster ways to deliver packages (the first vehicle unlocked is a god-send). And to top it all off, the score is absolutely amazing.… Expand

    This is a beautiful masterpiece. While I love games like Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and Call of Duty, it is refreshing to play a game where combat isn't a focus. Where connecting, encouraging, and helping other players is a major focus. The soundtrack is phenomenal and the visuals are stunning. I actively look forward coming home after work and playing as much as I can.

    Simply amazing. A breath of fresh air in to a game community. This game does not deserve all this 0. Even Fallout 76 or Anthem is not a 0.

    Sin duda es un juego totalmente diferente a lo que estamos acostumbrados, debemos tener en cuenta de que aunque Kojima es el creador del juego, éste no se trata de un "sucesor espiritual" de metal gear, eso deben tenerlo claro, no siempre hará los mismos tipos de juego; esta entrega es diferente y fascinante que obviamente no es para todos y menos para los acostumbrados a situacionesSin duda es un juego totalmente diferente a lo que estamos acostumbrados, debemos tener en cuenta de que aunque Kojima es el creador del juego, éste no se trata de un "sucesor espiritual" de metal gear, eso deben tenerlo claro, no siempre hará los mismos tipos de juego; esta entrega es diferente y fascinante que obviamente no es para todos y menos para los acostumbrados a situaciones frenéticas de acción, el objetivo (a mi parecer) fue transmitir emociones y creo que lo ha logrado, a pesar que el juego es reciente y las "ayudas" de otros jugadores son pocas en el futuro habrá más y varios lugares y rutas serán más accesibles y eso dará mas dinamismo para aquellos jugadores impacientes. Para finalizar recomiendo el juego si lo que buscas es algo diferente y una historia aún más profunda de lo que se ha visto, el juego mejorará a corto plazo cuando más jugadores lo completen y puedas encontrar más ayudas, mi calificación para este juego es 8.5, sería más alto de no ser por ese tipo de interactividad "online" que propone Kojima que la verdad no estamos acostumbrados y que complica un poco la experiencia para los que lo jueguen offline.… Expand

El juego es increíble, el sistema online es único y hay que recalcar que este juego es muy diferente de lo que algunos piensan respecto a la jugabilidad, que se esperaban un shooter a lo Metal Gear, se dejo bien en claro que este juego tira para otro lado, este juego hace énfasis en lo duro que es su entorno, por lo que hay que ir mas pausado, y la música siendo muy buena, me hubiese gustado que sea mas variada; pero con lo demás es increíble… Expand

    Here is some thing from someone who actually PLAYED the game. There is a gameplay mechanic and micromanagement you CANNOT see in a streaming videos. It is addicting if you understand it.

    I can say it was the worst game design in triple AAA game ever. Everything Kojima did in this game is bad, he was responsible for the direction of the game, basically he was the game designer, and that's the game problem.
    Graphics are good but it has nothing to do with Kojima,

    Dont believe all these 0-3, many of these reviews come fron toxic fanboys. For example, many of them come from the fans of the spanish youtuber Saselandia, a rabid anti-Sony, toxic youber, who has been rallying agains the game from years, and his equally toxic fans arre swarming many spanish forums and metacritic reviews in order to give the game a bad rep.

    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.
