    Nice graphics but this is a standard most games reach nowadays. Terrible gameplay just delivering items from A to B. Really bad when you fall over like a QWOP simulator. Much better games out there like outer worlds and even ac odyssey is better than this.

    DEATH STRANDING is one of the best games i have ever played.You get the same rewarding experience that you get from playing games like Dark Souls and other kojima titles. Production values of this game are amazing. Best graphics, great story telling and a lot of Sci- FI. There's also a lot of combat in the game and stealth in a very kojima way. One of my favorite games ever!

    I know this game isn't for everybody but I personally love it. I would say it is more of an experience than a game and I'm totally fine with that. The story is gripping, the graphics are some of the best I have ever seen on a console and the mechanics are great. I am wholeheartedly onboard!

    This Game probably deserves a [ 3/10 ], for taking risks and innovating, But I give it ZERO because of how INSANELY OVERRATED it is. It's NOT OK to say a game doesn't have to be Fun.

    Guys, It's OK if you were overly hyped, lets be honest; You don't actually like this game, you are forcing yourself to like it because i's hard to accept that your GENIUS gave you THIS!
    I respect Kojima AND especially SONY for taking risks and following a unique vision, But in this case, THE VISION IS NOT GOOD. Just because something is Weird, DOES NOT MEAN it's interesting. Just because something is convoluted, DOES NOT MEAN it's genius. if a game is just an art and an interactive movie, THEN SHOULD NOT PRESENT ITSELF AS HOURS AND HOURS OF UN-ENTERTAINING GAMEPLAY.
    This game might not be game of the year but it may have spawned the JOKE of the century by being called a Masterpiece by people who do not mean it sarcastically.    … Expand

    I'm in the just beginning. What I've seen I liked, so far. I'd give a 10 grade for the one who take the chance, get out of monotony. We must have the guts to take part in a game like that.

The fact there is reviews for this game the same day it comes out is complete BS. It’s a 30-40 hour game so what is happening is people are too dumb and impatient to give it a chance. This is what is happening to our generation. People need instant gradification in the form of mindless shoot em ups. Look based on the score, Art, ambition and acting alone gives this game a 7/10 so anyone rating below that is LYING and or has the mental compacity of a peanut. Now the gameplay if you actually take it in and give it a chance if f’ing brilliant on many fronts, Kojima not only just created a new genre but he also took every risk possible instead of crapping out a money grab of a game. It makes me sick to see this is what gamers have be come, short sighted, brainless involets with no imagination or appreciation for what video games actually are which is interactive art. Yes some will not like the gameplay loop
    If they have this instant gratification mentality and it’s fare to say, you know what beautiful game, I admire the risk and effort but it’s not for me but the insults and put downs of this game amaze me. I read one review that said the graphics are crap, obviously this piece of crap didn’t even look at the game because it’s a freaking fact it’s the best looking game ever made hands down on any console, there may be a PC tech demo out there that can rival it but unless your playing the game with composite cables and a boob tube if you think this game looks anything but completely out of this world stunning you need your GD eyes checked. I read many reviews of death stranding and the obvious Hideo Kojima jealousy and PS4, always making the best games, hate is thick as butter. I honestly think half the user reviews are by pissed of Xbox players who haven’t seen a half decent exclusive since freaking halo 2 Then we have the mainstream “game journalist” reviews which some granted actually played the game and gave it a fair score even if it wasn’t there thing, but then you have complete and obvious bumbling idiots hating on the game because it didn’t stroke there tiny brain, battle royale playing, call of duty shooting, SJW worshiping nonsense.



    Videogames to me is a combination of all the greatest art forms in our world, drawing, music, story, animation, acting. Over the years we have seen great games the combine these talents to create impactful works of art that river art histories greatest pieces. When I played Heavy Rain the first time it was like starring in the eyes of the Mona Lisa. Video games are the renaissance of the modern times. Don’t get me wrong either I totally play Call of Duty and really enjoy just plugging in and blasting my way to victory in a 10 min match, howeve it still took a team of multitalented artist and dedication to create even that simple experience.

    What’s my point? My point is every game in the past the pushed the boundaries of what had come before it, in the graphics, gameplay, music and story telling has carried video games from being laughed at by parents as a stupid toy to being inducted into art museums and treated as really art. This is what Death Stranding is, it’s the next level in video games pushing the boundary of artistic expression and imagination and combining all the forms of art to make an experience that will remembered as the catalyst that changed the way we look at video games. That to me makes this game deserve a 20/10 but at least a 10/10 Anyone who rates this game beneath that doesn’t not understand what this actually means. Look I am loving the gameplay, graphics, story, acting, music it’s all groundbreaking next level stuff but even besides that this is a declaration that video games do not need boundaries or rules, like art. If every game developer was as brave as PlayStation and Hideo Kojima we would have more great games then ever and some bad ones yes but at least they would be putting there true heart and soul into there work, not just trying to get in to our wallets. This is what death stranding is, it’s the Mona Lisa, it’s the Sistine Chapel, the pyramids of our time. I know that sounds really crazy but take a moment and think about it. I am no Kojima fan boy either, I have always respected him has a visionary artist but never really played Metal Gear. I loved what he helped do with Castlevania Lords of Shadow but that really it so this isn’t coming from a fan boy bias. What I will say is give it a real chance it is absolutely worth your money because we should support this in the industry. Ask yourself what you want from gaming? Do you want cash grab bull crap, loot crates, micro transactions and stale re skinned duplicates every year? Or do you want groundbreaking experiences that push the limit of the human imagination which will pave the way for more creation of great art.    … 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.
