    After years of nonsense trailers leaving us with more questions than answers it was time to figure out just what the heck was this game?? After you play a few hours in the actual game you are left once again with what the heck is this game and do I care enough to continue playing it?

It's mostly a fetch-quest simulator that forces you watch repeated cgi cutscenes to transport between areas of this large map of wilderness that never truly feels like it's an actual place in Earth like it is stated to be. This could the new bigger overhyped game since No Man's Shy… Expand

    I can't believe this game is actually nothing more than a glorified FedEx delivery man simulator, Kojima played us I want a refund

    I kid you not this game is hours of cutscenes, and the gameplay is just walk to deliver something with horrible controls. Rinse and repeat. Where is this game? Where is the fun? This is the worst game Kojima has released, which makes me wonder if he really was behind the success of MGS or if he was surrounded by talented people to reign his crazy ass in.

    Walk simulator. The lack of content in this game is unbelievable. This is an insult to the consumers.

    No gameplay, no immersion. It’s Not a AAA, is just a commercial game.

    This game offers to buy a $ 10 patch that will unlock 60 FPS. I don't approve of that!

    Lo unico bueno de este juego es el apartado tecnico. Aburridisimo,repetitivo, historia confusa e infumable, ia patetica, mapa vacio, personajes olvidables. Llegue hasta el final solo por ver la conclusion la cual es tan tediosa como el resto del juego. Ya habia subido mi analisis y metacritic me lo elimino. Deberia darles verguenza

    El juego es divertido cuando lo terminas porque dejas de sufrir, jugar a este juego es algo que no se lo doy a nadie.. monótono hasta mas no poder dando la sensación de que literalmente haz tirado tu tiempo a la basura.

    This Is by far the must boring AAA game I've ever played.
    Wired story with forced political views and extremely bad gameplay.
    I'm totally regret playing this garbage.

    O jogo é horrível, não passa de um "correio simulator", gráficos ok e jogabilidade estressante. Se pretende finalizar o jogo, recomendo que tenham paciência e muita força de vontade.

    Y le doy un 2 por la inclusión de Guillermo del Toro. Todo el juego es un desastre, el peor dinero gastado del año.

    Considero que es una pelicula más que un juego. Muy buenos gráficos y pauperrima jugabilidad. Viendo los trailer recuerdo que se vendió como una obra maestra de Hideo Kojima pues mejor que se dedique al cine. Sinceramente es un presupuesto tirado a la basura...

    To be honest I have always like kojima games but this one is different there is so much walking to do, the world feels empty, its like doing secondary missions all the time the story is a mess also, I am really dissapointed at this game as a fan of Hideo Kojima. In the end its a really boring game.

    It feels really slow, the plot is fine but nothing original, there's ads everywhere and overall is not fun at all. Probably my fault for having high spectations for this game but at the end it feels like konami was doing a good job restricting kojima

    Je regrette de l'avoir acheter day one. J'aurais due attendre de voir plus de videos sur youtube. Le jeux est réellement ennuyant. C'est tellement mou! On es trés trés trés loin d'un Horizon zero down ou d'un God of war. Absolument pas fanboy de Hideo Kojima pour le coup.

    Imagine you pack your Boy Scout backpack up to the extreme and then decide to walk 20 hrs to a movie theater and watch a movie. Now imagine hiking back another 20 hrs to get back to your home.

This game is exactly what it is being claimed to be: A cinematic stroll that will bore your cat’s mind as they stare at a human walking...in a video game while they sit lifeless in a chair!

    This is not a game, it’s not even a walking simulator, it’s just a idiots way to pass time, wastefully pushing and mashing buttons on a controller unnecessarily. If you kill yourself on purpose you just sit through another short film that makes you want to poke your eyes out. Don’t even bother to build anything, others have literally put the dumbest stuff in your way, and by others I mean other players, who have also wasted their time. Hopefully they figured out they should warn their friends not to waste their money or time.

    I forced myself to finish this game hoping I saw what the hype was about and was extremely disappointed. Those claiming this to be anything but a boring stroll delivering god knows what to god knows where is either brain dead, damaged, or just simply a fanboy who probably didn’t even play the game. This is not a game of the year anything, this is nothing more than a “irredeemable piece of garbage“ as critic review has already stated!    … Expand

    This game is the testament of why even the most revered creatives of the video game industry need supervision, the game is ambitious and has high production values, but it lacks on gameplay and in general is a mediocre videogame experience.

Kojima should've been the creative consultant in this game and nothing more, he needed a competent director to put some boundaries to his ideas and shape them as a more enjoyable experience.

    This game is a chore, I don't like the idea of coming back from work only to do more work and menial tasks that can be even more tedious than my actual job.

    Gameplay is important and this game should be a reminder of that, the story is good... and that's it, it's a ups simulator, the monster sponsorship is way too heavy and the celebrity cameos, specially Doritos and Mountain spam bot Dew Geoff Keighley can be really annoying.

    I think it still deserves to be experienced, but wait for a huge price drop, don't pay full price for it.    … 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.
