    The Infamous Death Stranding, Oh my god! What do I say....The Game is definitely my game of this generation.

    It finally dared to do something greater and unique than most of the AAA games out there! I hope more games try to do something unique even if they don't turn out to be profitable.

    Simply a masterpiece by Hideo Kojima. I can’t stop playing this game. The story is amazing and the gameplay has a satisfying loop.

The gameplay largely consists of planning your trips through brutal terrain and then moving through it with a large amount of cargo, maintaining your balance and keeping the cargo safe. While others have called this ups simulator, it does not go far enough in describing the treacherous slog through the destroyed world. It is slow. It is, at times, boring. The story and the world of the game is simultaneously accessible and obtuse, but always enthralling, propped up by fantastic writing and performances. While this game is not fun, it is engaging. It beckons the player into it's world and forces them to experience the drain that it places on it's inhabitants. Much of the joy in this game comes through connecting the United States and interacting with the objects other players construct in the online portion. This is a game that thrives off of the users desire to be kind to others and lend a helping hand and the sense of warmth one recieves when helped. This game is bravely different that what we have come to expect from the AAA game industry. Your weapons are non-lethal. Most often you sneak places. This game is about connecting with others, not doing harm unto them. Much like other Kojima games, it is relentlessly dark but hopeful. It lacks much of Kojima's unhinged absurdity, delivering it's convoluted elements to the player slowly over time, often in disarming ways. Overall Death Stranding is a near perfect game with deep movement, an element that in most games is minimized and simplified, a strong inventory management system, an intriguing story and world and a UI and aesthetic direction that exerts the misery and struggle of these other elements even further onto the player. If one were to search for a complaint to have about this game, the menus are a bit obtuse and while most of this is to an effect, certain elements feel like oversights rather than design decisions. This is a game that respects your time and intelligence and offers you an experience. If you are patient, willing to accept that this medium does not need to be purely fun but rather can be introspective and search for greater meaning in the facts of our existances, you will find a lot to love here. It is a masterpiece. Based on the first 20 hours.… Expand

    The game is strange.. yet compelling. I find myself wanting to go back into the world, yet it's all about delivering packages and making connections. It's absolutely, strangely brilliant and I wouldn't change anything about it.

    Deeply haunting. Greatest gaming experience I've had in at least several years. Open-world games have never been better.

    Not subtle, yet so much is thrown at the player; This game tries to give the player more than incentive to finish the game. Rare that a game tries to teach ethics to the player, than just being blank-slate entertainment.    … Expand

    It's not for everyone. The gameplay is about how you're going to manage your inventory to cross the terrains for making your deliveries. The side quests can get tedious at certain points however the story did keep me hooked up for more. If you're open minded to try something new this is the game you've been wanting for.

    Kojima hizo lo que nadie ha hecho, crear un juego con excelentes graficos, un mapa extenso, PERO carente de contenido diverso, es el tipico lleva y trae encomiendas a distintos puntos repetitivos a mas no poder. Una historia incoherente con la jugabilidad del personaje, porque al final no dejas de ser un mensajero desde que inicias hasta que finalizas el juego.

    No existe diferencia    Kojima hizo lo que nadie ha hecho, crear un juego con excelentes graficos, un mapa extenso, PERO carente de contenido diverso, es el tipico lleva y trae encomiendas a distintos puntos repetitivos a mas no poder. Una historia incoherente con la jugabilidad del personaje, porque al final no dejas de ser un mensajero desde que inicias hasta que finalizas el juego.

    No existe diferencia entre las 2 modalidades de dificultad, simplemente porque no las tiene, los mismos fanaticos del juego lo mencionan: "es un gran juego pero que no va a gustar a todos", es como que te digan que vas a vivir mas que la mayoria pero que eres un enfermo incurable y que tarde o temprano dejaras este mundo....

    Son tan absurdos los "enemigos" que los que se consideran "dificiles" es tan facil ocultarse de ellos sin que te escuchen para continuar repartiendo paquetes, ni que decir de la enfermedad mental del desarrollador: un meon compulsivo al que en su mente retorcida le hace creer que crecen hongos con su aguita amarilla...

    Realmente no vale la pena mas alla de llenarle los bolsillos a las tiendas que distribuyen este juego y sobretodo pagarle las comisiones a ciertos fanaticos que titulan sus videos de forma sensacionalista para que incautos caigan y pasen por caja para luego decepcionarse del simulador de entregas.

    Ah y me olvidaba, te dicen que el mundo donde se desenvuelve es del tipo post apocaliptico y por eso te encuentras en un mundo vacio y que le falta conexion a lo largo y ancho del pais , sin embargo esta tan bien "conectado" por una red invisible que permite darte like por cada paquete entregado , es decir te dicen que necesitas interconectar puntos del mapa, y sin embargo descubre que existe una red de conexion (lo absurdo en su maxima expresion), solo es coherentes para jugadores enfermizos que confunden gastar compulsivamente    … Expand

    Went in with no expectations. Takes a few hours to get use to the bombardment of reading and understanding the dynamics of the menus and the story; even given the many cutscenes at the start, but once you catch your stride,requires a lot of patience and strategy.

    Death Stranding is an inspirational work of art that proves to raise the bar of video games as a creative medium. It is such a unique and breathtaking experience along with the characters and world coinciding.

    So far, the game has surprised me due to its fascinating (and quite bizarre) story. Today, I played around 6 hours and barely noticed that all that time I just delivered materials, cases and boxes to other communities which needed them; I also enjoyed the bridge mechanics, creating bonds with other players and the Community supporting each other with accurate signs and likes, as well as donating good weapons and undelivered materials.

    This game is addictive. Definitely not for everyone. It isn't an action game. It is more of a graphical novel with a complex storyline, mixed with resource mngt, tedious but rewarding 'walking' missions that are basic fetch quests to enhance your abilities and push the story forwards.

    It's not just a walking simulation.
    Good and bad can be divided, but this game is very attractive.
    Play another game if you don't like Kojima or want to have a direct fun.
    This game is not recommended.
    But this game is fun.

    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.
