    I don't understand these low ratings. This game is great but it does take several hours to open up and become something quite special. Have a little patience and you will be rewarded.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Confusing story with a satisfying end. The core gameplay mechanic of delivery rarely felt stale to me, but after completing this game, I felt the urge to go out and continue deliveries and setting up more structures to help other players. The theme of connections played out well, even if it felt hamfisted at times. Graphics, gameplay, and implementation are all 10/10 for me. Give it a shot.… Expand

    The first 2 hours made me feel uneasy because I just didn't understand it and the gameplay loop seemed shallow, but I decided to push on and persevere and I'm glad I did because eventually something just clicked and I was having fun. I was running from one place to another, cramming as much in my backpack as possible, taking out the occasional package thief and avoiding the mysterious BTs.The first 2 hours made me feel uneasy because I just didn't understand it and the gameplay loop seemed shallow, but I decided to push on and persevere and I'm glad I did because eventually something just clicked and I was having fun.

    I've always found Kojima led games hit or miss, for example I wasn't big into MGSV, but Death Stranding is an interesting take, it's a slow burn so if your more into short games then this ain't for you

    Game is like a fresh breath in age of tolerance, social network mania and games that are done by same template over and over. I like to feel NEW experience. And this game at least introduce new mechanic of social co-working. I wonder how starting location will look like when I get back after finishing the game...

    This game is a masterpiece the way the story is told the way it about the long haul not a five minute run and gun the game is about connecting with the world of loneliness and making it whole again it not about me or you it about us

    He leído gente que ha valorado el juego con un 0 y ha dicho que esperará a que cueste 5 o 10 euros para comprarlo y jugarlo. ¿cómo se puede valorar un juego tan rotundamente sin ni siquiera tenerlo? ¿qué problema tiene la gente con su vida que necesita hundir aquello que no entiende o no comparte?

    No voy a hablar de los gráficos, ni de la historia, pues creo que no necesita presentación y creo que estaréis conmigo que te atrapará desde el principio, sino del gameplay.

    En las pocas horas que llevo de juego puedo que Death Stranding es un juego acerca del camino. Acerca de cada paso que das. Puedes pensar que quizá "no pasa nada" porque en juegos de mundo abierto lo normal es que hagas muchas cosas, muchas tareas y pegues muchos disparos, pero seamos realistas: lo normal es no dejar de darle a la x o al R2 dependiendo del vehículo, llegar a un destino, disparar, y volver a darle a la X o R2 de vuelta. Si, pueden pasar muchas cosas pero la acción del jugador, el uso del cerebro se suele reducir a esto. En Death Stranding algo que antes resultaba tan simple como cruzar un río, subir una colina o andar por piedras exige pensar. Exige ser cuidadoso. Exige estar al tanto y no poner el cerebro en piloto automático.

    Los enfrentamientos con el enemigo no los vas a resolver tampoco simplemente disparando a lo loco. Bajar de una montaña con carga hasta arriba tampoco. Elegir los encargos tampoco. Ayudar a otros jugadores se convierte en una motivación. Empezar un nuevo encargo es tener la incertidumbre de no saber qué te vas a encontrar, e ir bien equipado para hacer frente a los enemigos es menos importante que saber por donde ir.

    Pero Death Stranding también sabe sacarte de ese momento de tensión regalándote momentos mágicos, donde de repente el camino se vuelve llano, sale el sol, y empieza una música maravillosa. Una vez más, Death Stranding es acerca del camino, tanto para los momentos tensos como los momentos de paz.

    Sinceramente, le he otorgado un 10 sin terminarlo porque me veo en la obligación de equilibrar la balanza ante tanta persona que ha venido a destruir un acercamiento diferente a los videojuegos. Un visión más propia de un artista que de un hombre de negocios. Death Stranding no es para todo el mundo, pero eso no quiere decir que no sea un juego increíble: independientemente de que te guste o no tanto, Death Stranding es el recordatorio de que los videojuegos son arte, son visiones de creadores inquietos, el trabajo de personas que aman lo que hacen, y por eso, con tanta IP repetida y reciclada, DLCs y Pay to win, es algo que merece la pena aplaudir.    … Expand

    This is a type of game that shows you that video games can be a art form. If you can appreciate the small details like the environment, atmosphere, attention to detail, ETC and you aren’t a modern day game who expects instant gratification then this game will deliver in time (see what I did there!?).

    DEATH STRANDING é sem dúvidas uma experiência inesquecível e inesperada.
    Claramente não é um jogo para todos,mas para quem tem paciência para apreciar uma obra sem pressa com seus mínimos detalhes é perfeito...

This is not for everyone, there are points where you want to give up, it's hard, it's tough, it's Hideo Kojima's latest atmospheric masterpiece and perhaps his most cinematic game to date, it's touching, brutal, at times funny, scary and has the best soundtrack of any game this decade. A fine addition among Kojima's work. No sequel required.… 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.
