    I don't really see why people are having so much problems with it's gameplay, maybe it's just me, but i enjoyed all the weight management, different terrain traversal and construction, and even more so because of all the incredible work they've put into animation, it's really enjoyable to find your way around the land

    This is a slow, methodical game about post-apocalyptic package deliver. Incredible visuals, bonkers (in a good way) story, and focused gameplay that starts basic, and gradually expands with options.

    Game has phenomenal music and graphics.
    Since I wasnt even looking for an Action packed game (was never advertised as one) I must day iz later on had a lot of Action actually... in a positive way since it didnt Interrupt or ruin the chill nature of the game and the brillant story

    One of the best games I've ever played. Tranquil, with enough tension to keep you going. Amazing voice acting, great cinematics and beautiful landscapes. A must for any narrative driven AAA gamer.

    Привет всем. Постараюсь написать самый объективный отзыв об игре. В игре много минусов и так же много плюсов. Каждый должен определить нравиться она ему или нет. Было бы проще это определить если бы были демо версии, без них сложно понять механики игры. Из плюсов можно отметить прекрасную музыку, которую нельзя слушать пока ты доставляешь заказы. Красивая графика, но очень пустынный мир.Привет всем. Постараюсь написать самый объективный отзыв об игре. В игре много минусов и так же много плюсов. Каждый должен определить нравиться она ему или нет. Было бы проще это определить если бы были демо версии, без них сложно понять механики игры. Из плюсов можно отметить прекрасную музыку, которую нельзя слушать пока ты доставляешь заказы. Красивая графика, но очень пустынный мир. Интересный сюжет, но он подается обрывками что сложно воспринимать растягивая прохождение на несколько дней по 3 - 4 часа . Минусы - это затянуться доставок. Убрать все ненужные доставки или заменить их доставками роботом, оставить только сюжетные миссии с экшоном, добавить миссии в аномальных зонах и базах сектантов (добыть у них груз, украсть транспорт). В целом игра не плохая дождитесь скидок и покупайте. Спасибо.

    This game is awesome but not for everyone.
    It's a story-driven game that works a lot like a movie adaptation.
    And like a movie, if you want to see a romance movie but it turns out it's a mystery/Scy-fy movie, you'll be disappointed, so don't go into it expecting something it's not. It's not MGS. I don't know if you'll like it, but my opinion is the following: The game made me think,    This game is awesome but not for everyone.

    I don't know if you'll like it, but my opinion is the following:
    The game made me think, it made me ask myself questions, it made me fight, and it made me feel.
    At the end of it all i had an answer to all my questions and a bunch of emotions and i wasn't quite sure what to think of it. I now think it's a masterpiece.
    In many aspects, it feels like a next gen title, with the obvious graphic quality and other mechanics that are subtle and quite polished.
    I played 40 hours and might play some more in the future, which is why i think it deserves a 9 out of ten.
    Not a ten because some things are tedious, and could be balanced a bit better.

    I'm glad i experienced it, and if you like mystery, adventure, story driven content, i think you could like it !    … Expand

    Astonishing game. This may be the greatest game of the decade. It has a colossal open world with amazing diversity in its lands, from mountainous grassy plains, desert and even tundra. It is deeply satisfying to trek the land with your cargo and other equipment and feel truly free. Though, the game is slow in the beginning, it very quickly pulls you into its immersive environment.

    I ended up hating this game the first few missions but now that I spent numerous hours I can't stop playing and building roads, zip lines and figuring out new paths. Also now have a large arsenal of equipment to deal with all kinds of situations.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Stunning, beautiful and interesting but definitely not for everyone. Death stranding is a game of patience, hard work and dedication that really won't resonatewith alot of gamers. But, through it all the star studded cast, polished graphics and unique story are something to be impressed by even if you don't enjoy the gameplay. Beating this game was really fulfilling. I'm not saying you need to like it, and it's perfectly fine with me if you don't. But that doesn't mean it's a 0/10. The reviews on here are excessive. If you don't think it looks fun just don't buy it.… Expand

    First I will start that this game is the most visually beautiful and photorealistic I have ever saw, the water and colour palette is amazing. Now on the game play, yes it’s based on delivering but that’s part of the brilliance of it, such a simple concept and yet so deep in it’s execution. The stealth is simply amazing when played on hard, with heart pumping sequences.

O jogo te coloca em um estado de alerta total onde cada fragmento pode ser uma parte importante da história, somente a mente brilhante de Hideo Kojima poderia tramar algo de tamanha complexidade, não é apenas um jogo, é uma experiência complexa e profunda, apenas estou feliz de presenciar o nascimento de um novo estilo de jogo, obrigado!

    I understand that the game would not be for most people but it's absolutely for me. I think it's unfair that the game is a 0/10. There are way worse and unpolished games out there. Just because a game isn't for you doesn't make it terrible. An amazing and immersive experience.

    After 50 hours, I've finished Death Stranding and am rewriting my review. My score isn't changing, to me it's still a high 9/10, I just wanted to revisit this with the context of the entire game.

    I'll start off by saying that even though I loved this game, it's very hard to recommend to people. A friend came to my apartment day 1 to watch the game and decide if he wanted it. In the end,    After 50 hours, I've finished Death Stranding and am rewriting my review. My score isn't changing, to me it's still a high 9/10, I just wanted to revisit this with the context of the entire game.

    I'll start off by saying that even though I loved this game, it's very hard to recommend to people. A friend came to my apartment day 1 to watch the game and decide if he wanted it. In the end, he didn't and I completely understand, especially seeing the portion of the game I played.

    Your enjoyment of this game will probably rely on how far you're willing to put up with a slog to get to the other side, which sounds like a bad thing but the rush of being able to fly past a spot that gave you so much trouble appeals to me very much. I spent a lot of time building structures to help myself and others along the way, and seeing likes from other players who I helped made me feel like it was all worth it.

    This game slow drips mechanics almost the entire time you're playing, to the point where you're well armed partway into chapter 3 and near the end of the game you have an entire arsenal of equipment that you can really tailor the game to the way you want to play. The slow drip is needed, if you look at the tips section at the end of the game, it's overwhelming just how many systems and mechanics they've crammed into this game, and they all work very well.

    Combat does indeed exist in this game, and you'd be surprised at how good it can feel. When I first learned about using cargo as weapons I didn't think I'd use it because I wouldn't want to hurt my packages, but I learned that when you knock out a MULE their cargo can be caught in mid-air which can then be thrown at another of your assailants. It made me feel like I was in an action movie and it was an awesome blend of the delivery and combat mechanics. As you move into the game you and your human enemies will grow your arsenal of weaponry to the point where they're just as formidable as you are, and they never felt like pushovers.

    Of all the things in Death Stranding, its main focus is the story, which ends up being way less enigmatic than it first appears once you have all the pieces. I felt it was very engaging and I was happily going through with deliveries just to see where the story would go next. I do have one issue and there's a very loaded exposition scene right at the end which could have been handled better, but aside from that - and some weird writing/character moments at points - it felt very well crafted.

    Presentation is, of course, top notch. This is the best photo-realism of any game this generation hands down, environments are beautiful and characters are detailed down to the pores on their skin. The actors all give great performances, bringing life and depth to their characters. The music, though sparse, is all fantastic and punctuates your journey in a way that makes you appreciate how far you've come.

    Slight hiccups caused a little aggravation along the way. At times I wished there were just an easier way to skip the small cutscenes in your room and in the terminals. Every action is accompanied with a short scene, and they can be skipped but the process of skipping multiple tiny scenes in a row can feel tiring. The physics can get a little wonky at times, Sam doesn't handle like you feel he should sometimes and I took a couple spills because he slipped slightly unnaturally or what looked like a hill suddenly felt like a drop. Also take the trike and jump while doing a wheelie, you float in a weird triangle-like arc.

    I'm interested in seeing all the things I missed and working towards platinum, but I don't know if I'd play from the beginning to see the story again. At the end of it all, these inconveniences were never enough to sour my experience and I'm very happy I put the time in to see it to the end. Absolutely rent it and try it out, if you bounce hard in the first couple chapters it's probably not for you. But if you find yourself enjoying those first hours of the game, you're absolutely in for a treat.    … 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.
