    Es una pena que unos gráficos tan sobresalientes y una historia abstracta tenga una jugabilidad tan sosa y poco interesante, es un video juego no lo olvidemos.

    Boring is the only word I could use to genuinely and honestly describe this game to the average consumer. Upon closing the game after about a 20-hour stent, I had to ask myself if I did gain any enjoyment from this game. I did, but not enough that I could call the game "fun".

    Fun is relative of course, but this is the perfect game to test exactly how far your limits on the concept go.

    Fun is relative of course, but this is the perfect game to test exactly how far your limits on the concept go. Are you truly willing to wade through 5 Hours of walking, delivering and walking again to find those moments where the action picks up and the game seems to begin? If not, this game is not for you.

    But when the music rises and the sprawling landscapes are laid bare in front of you, the game is pleasant, enjoyable but fun? That's the judgment that the individual must make and not simply read or watch online. I didn't talk much about gameplay here but that's mainly because the "game" very often forgets it too.

    Death Stranding is exactly what you expect from a Kojima game. It's confusing, beautiful and massive. But whether it is fun, is subjective, completely depending on taste and preference. For me, it was not an enjoyable experience, the limited fun I had didn't make it up for its large patches of boredom. Some will love it and some will hate it. Its a game to be experienced and talked about, not played.

What I will say is that watching these cutscenes was actually the best part of the experience and it was the part I was most worried about due to their reported length and yep some of them are long. However a fantastic cast and great acting kept me hooked, even if the script is a bit weak in parts, like seriously hire some writers Kojima.
    The game itself, for me, was really dull and tedious. Yes it had been warned about in countless reviews however experiencing it first hand is something else. It just wasn't for me and the complete lack of variety made it just too much for the length of game it is. I am roughly 15-20hrs in and it's becoming more of a case of feeling I HAVE to keep going for the story than WANTING to and for a video game that doesn't sit right. There are some fantastic ideas here and there are some fantastic elements such as the graphics and environment but it is encased in a solid shell of boredom and repetition.    … Expand

    The music at the beggining was intriguing then it became a boring fest. Just walk from A to B and balance your character all the time. There is no fun involved at all. I will return it for a trade in.

    I play games to have fun.. The delivery system type of game-play is just straight up exhausting, and doesn't compel me to want to do better and most importantly.. HAVE FUN OR HAVE A GOOD TIME.
    Despite Hideo Kojima's fantastic work on the MGS series, his idea are just too convoluted to make into a compelling and engaging game. He would be better off as just as a visual director for future titles.

    EUROGAMER devolvedme mi dinero, os hago directamente responsables a vosotros. ¿Qué ha salido bien exactamente?

    El juego es una paja de Kojima; no tiene sentido en términos de entretenimiento, su jugabilidad no la entiendo, ni los actores ni los diseñadores, no tiene diversión y la misma prensa que tacha a algunos juegos de repetitivos alaba esta mierda. Luego dicen que los medios especializados que suspenden el juego están buscando notoriedad y yo ahora me llevo las manos a la cabeza.

    Es unir el basto mundo de Zelda Breath of the Wild pero vaciándolo, es la lentitud de Red Read Redemption pero sin posibilidad de que ocurran cosas, es la exploración de los walking simulators pero mal ejecutada.

    Los gráficos son muy buenos y la historia pasable, cringe, una rareza y ya que te has gastado el dinero que mínimo que saber de que iba el asunto, pero ahí se acaba Death Stranding. Estoy seguro que Kojima ha hecho lo que ha podido y en su cabeza este juego era mucho mejor, pero ha salido mal el experimento.

    Pero es que luego están las cosas que no hay donde encajarlas en un juego ni con el guión en la mano: los likes, el mear, la publicidad grotesca, el bebé estresandose, Sam mirándote directamente...

    Como juego le doy un 3 y le sumo 0,5 por la extrañeza y 0,5 porque hay que tener los huevos muy gordos para haber sacado este proyecto adelante

    I wanted to love this game. It's been so hyped, but after playing most of the day today, launch day.

    PROS:
    - Beautiful visual
    - Great music
    - Innovative concepts

    CONS:
    - Slow
    - Repetitive
    - Not enough action

    You're basically a glorified delivery man. It's a walking simulator. It's "meh". Not my thing.

    Este videojuego a nivel argumental es muy interesante, te deja intrigado por saber que esta ocurriendo, saber porque lloran los personajes y saber que haces cargando con un feto dentro de una capsula durante todo el tiempo.

Hasta aquí todo bien, pero la trama se complica cuando te das cuenta que la mayor parte del tiempo es pura y dura cinemática y la jugabilidad escasea mucho.
    Al principio, controlar a Sam (Norman Reedus) se hace algo divertido viendo como se cae cargando los paquetes y tropezando con las rocas que hay por todo un paisaje lleno de montañas, acantilados y ríos sin vida. Pero una vez que llevas más de 10 horas dando tumbos, todo se vuelve muy repetitivo entregando paquetes de un lado a otro en un mundo inexistente de vida, con 5 enemigos que aparecen de la nada cada cierto tiempo (a saber) y que tienen una I.A. muy vacía, más, con algún que otro bug añadido es cuando te llega el gran bajón.
    Te preguntas ¿que clase de videojuego es este? te sientes engañado y así es como me he sentido.
    No hay acción, ni nada que haga sentir que tu tiempo y esfuerzos sirven para algo, ni tan siquiera el interactuar online entre otros jugadores dando 'likes' llega a ser tan divertido.
    Para dar 'likes' ya tengo las redes sociales y para largas caminatas ya tengo los bosques en la vida real.
    Esto no es un 'A Hideo Kojima game' es un 'A Hideo Kojima movie' y aquel que no lo quiera reconocer es porque 'no es inteligente o es tan fan de Kojima que no lo quiere ver'. Muy lamentable todo.
    Un juego que será prácticamente olvidable cuando llegue el año 2020.
    Prefiero rejugar mil veces el Horizon Zero Dawn, que también es repetitivo sí, pero al menos sigue habiendo algo de vida y la acción sigue persistiendo cada 10 minutos tumbando a cientos de máquinas.

    Solamente lo recomiendo una vez que este a mitad de precio o lo pilléis de segunda mano, su precio de salida no compensa la escasa jugabilidad que contiene. Estáis avisados.    … Expand

But unfortunately in this game, for me there were more minuses than pluses. The gameplay in the game is quite boring, an empty world, maybe it should have been filled with buildings of other players, but there are not enough of them. Too many accents on Norman himself, and his inguinal part. The vehicles in the game are terrible. Also, the movement of Norman himself leaves much to be desired, sometimes he easily rolls and climbs up stones that are high, despite the fact that you have a heavy load behind you, and sometimes he falls where you shouldn't, although you have nothing behind.Stumbles out of nowhere.This review turned out to be too long, and I will say lastly that the game has many more minuses, which upset me. But I'm glad that I did not have to buy this game, I was able to play with the help of my friend. Because I would prefer to return the money for it, but after 13 hours of the game, nobody will return them to you.… Expand

    Ya sabes lo que te esperas si eres seguidor de Kojima: Humor japones infantil, giros de guión absurdos, conversaciones metafisicas insustaciales, referencias a otras obras de cine/literatura etc que orbitan en el plagio etc etc.
    En cuanto a las mecánicas jugables el juego sorprende en un inicio para después transformarse en la apoteosis del tedio. El juego abusa y recontrabusa de mecánicas repetitivas donde la estrella es....andar . Su online es testimonial.

    When you see a enemy(no EV) you can kill al the enemies easy with only 3 punches, and i finished the game in hard! Is this a joke? The game is really easy!

    To preface this, just like this game does for hours on end, I've been a fan of Hideo Kojima's work at Konami ever since I was a teenager.

MGS has always managed to blow me away with its innovative gameplay, magnificent story telling and great characters. And it all peaked with MGS5 The Phantom Pain, which took the idea of an open world stealth sandbox and absolutely surpassed any expectations. I put hundreds of hours into that magnificent game. But Mr Kojima's latest endeavour has left me quite disappointed. I preordered it after being intrigued by the cryptic nature of the trailers, the ambitious idea of the "Death Stranding" and the promising gameplay mechanics. But they didn't do much more than promise I'm afraid. When I ask myself what is the thing that bores me the most about games, I certainly think of fetch quests and lengthy cutscenes. Which is unfortunately most of what this game has to offer. I have already been playing for 10 hours and I am afraid I have been driven to a point of absolute boredom where not even the intriguing story will manage to get me back from. After countless quests involving delivering cargo from point A to point B under the guise of "connecting the US", I simply lack the willpower to continue playing the post-apocalyptic Fed Ex errand boy simulator that this game has turned out to be. It is not often that I feel like taking an indefinite brake from a game, especially a newly released one, but alas, I feel like there is nothing more to this game than this cycle of running around, putting down ladders and ropes, sneaking around BT's and delivering items. Also, let's not forget the story which is told through seemingly endless cutscenes that showcase Sam's lack of personality and his little "touch allergy". All in all, This game's greatest issue is the fact it often forgets it's supposed to be a game first and foremost. With a lack of meaningful and interesting gameplay, a severely lackluster MC and an abundance of lengthy cutscenes, this game makes me feel betrayed by the game director I used to adore so much. I must however give some credit for the beautiful visuals, both in and out of the cutscenes, as well as the soothing and atmospheric soundtrack, courtesy of LOW ROAR and Chvrches. However, I bought a game, rather than a movie or a music album, so I must unfortunately give this failed masterpiece a negative rating.… Expand

Este juego esta catalogado en accion, aventura y sigilo, cosa que no es este juego ni de broma, que tenga partes de X no significa que lo sea, las secencias de accion son muy limitadas, por lo que este juego ya estaba mal colocado de primeras. Es un juego al que le ha pasado la factura del hype y la publicidad abusiva a un producto que no estaba debidamente etiquetado, si quieres una historia sobre lineas, tienes heavy rain que salio con 20 euros de lanzamiento dejando muy claro que es una pelicula interactiva, detroit become human valia 70 euros pero daba por sentado que era un juego sobre railes con sus toques de rejugabilidad e historia inmersiva. Pero volviendo con este juego, es básicamente de hacer de repartidor, con una historia sobre la vida y la muerte, en un mundo muy dañado. ¿Es divertido? No, que es precisamente el principal punto de que se consuman estos productos. La historia es realmente confusa y difícil de entender, aunque es atrayente, no lo voy a negar. Pero si un juego falla en su principal misión es que algo va mal. Ahora toquemos el apartado visual, los graficos y banda sonora; y son de lejos lo mejor que tiene este juego, logrando una muy buena inmersion, graficamente es muy bonito a la vista, y las animaciones y ambientacion estan cuidadas con mucho detalle. El mapa aunque enorme, está vacío, y a la hora de explorarlo se puede hacer muy monótono al tener que repetir el mismo concepto una y otra vez; que es ir del punto A al B y entregar la mercancía, ya está. Es básicamente un juego que no invita a ser jugado, y por 70 euros hay opciones mucho mejores en el mercado, que algo haya sido hecho por Hideo Kojima no significa que se una "obra maestra" como dicen en eurogamer. Es un "juego" con un transfondo e historia muy llamativos, pero fallando precisamente en su decepcionante jugabilidad. Tambien tengo que hablar de algunos problemas con el motor de colisiones, que resultan en un verdadero dolor de cabeza a la hora de moverte, sobre todo en vehículo, que al moverte te ralentiza atascandote en toda piedra que se cruce en tu camino, por pequeña que sea. Las misiones son tambien otro problema, y para no repetir, diré que hay un enorme número de encargos que son parte del hilo principal (no son secundarias) haciendo que la historia cueste mucho trabajo escucharla, y asimilarla. Ahora mismo, este juego lo tengo atrancado, y francamente esperaba algo mejor de este señor; dejar de endiosarlo y de venerar este juego por lo que no es, NO ayuda a esta industria en nada, y eso es así, punto.

    Opinión personal:
    Este producto es más una película interactiva que un juego propiamente dicho (y no, no me vale que el juego empiece a divertir a partir de la mitad del mismo) fallando en mantenerte pegando al mando e intentando ver mas. Para lo que trae, 70 euros son excesivos, estoy seguro de que no estaria recibiendo tantas hostias si se hubiera alejado del hype, la publicidad innecesaria, y las altas expectativas; todo ello a un précio más asequible. ¿Merece la pena probarlo? Me decanto por un NO rotundo, pero si te interesa, es mejor alquilarlo o pedirlo prestado, en un juego que a la semana solo servira para acumular polvo en tu estanteria.

    Conlusion: Es un juego excesivamente caro, y que no cumple con las altas expectativas forjadas, muy bonito a los ojos y al oido, pero fallando en tódo lo demás. Si quereis probar este juego, mejor alquilado antes de hacer la decision final, es lo mejor que podeis hacer. Y si eres fan de la saga Metal Gear Solid y querias ver algo de ese calibre, esto NO es para tí, esta demasiado alejado del sigilo y accion tan características de MGS.

El mayor desastre de Kojima, el tipo ya venia dando tumbos con el desastrozo metal gear solid v, donde kojima demuestra no tener ni idea de como hacer un mundo abierto y con este walking simulator lo reafirma. Un mundo abierto donde tu unica tarea es llevar paquetes de aca para alla, en donde los bugs te hacen romper el juego y saltarte todas las aburridas mecanicas que Kojima quiere obligarte a jugar. Una historia ridicula y pretenciosa que solo una persona con un nivel intelectual muy bajo llegaria a admirar, las peores fisicas que se pueden ver en esta generación junto a otros juegos y sin lugar a dudas el juego mas inflado por parte de la prensa y los horrendos fanboys de la diva Kojima. No le doy un 0 porque hay gente detras de Kojima que trabjaaron duro en esta porqueria.

Kojima's biggest disaster, the guy was already stumbling with the disastrous metal gear solid v, where kojima demonstrates having no idea how to make an open world and with this walking simulator he reaffirms it. An open world where your only task is to take packages from here to there, where the bugs make you break the game and skip all the boring mechanics that Kojima wants to force you to play. A ridiculous and pretentious story that only a person with a very low intellectual level would come to admire, the worst physics that can be seen in this generation along with other games and without a doubt the most inflated game by the press and the horrendous Diva Kojima fanboys.

    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.
