    It's a boring walking/delivery simulator and that's basically all there is to it. Tries and fails too hard to make "inventorial management" fun.

    This is definitively not a 10/10 game... What's wrong with the critics!? The game is just boring!!! 5 hours of just walking and walking... And nothing changes... I'm done, asking for a refund!

    Extremely boring game with mediocre story and characters. Walking simulator that is hyped up to unimaginable levels.

    El juego visualmente se ve muy bien y sus cinemáticas están bastante bien, el aspecto negativo es que como videojuego no convence y lo que se está vendiendo es un videojuego no una experiencia ni la visión de un director ególatra, el juego es repetitivo.

    En pocas palabras no es mejor que muchos juegos indies, no es algo con que se pueda divertir.

    This game shows Kojima was never that good of a dev. Walking simulator that is the result of pure feature creep. Play this game only if you like being bored for hours.

    This is THE most pretentious, vain, piece of trash yet to be published on the PS4. Kojima is in dire need of a handler, someone to tell him “no” at ever decision. Gameplay is boring, period.

    This is probably the worst video game I’ve personally ever played. Gameplay is not fun at any time and everything you do is delivering packages. The story makes NO sense at all and it keeps getting worse till the end.

    Should’ve maybe made a TV show out of it...

    The game is as bad as everyone says. *list here all the negative things that've been said over again*
    Kojima tries to be so philosophical, intelligent, deep, know-it-all, ingenious and create to 'something different', but he God-honest fails miserably. I can say this since I got the game 1 day earlier and have been playing it non-stop (with some sleep of course).

    It just annoys me how highly he think of himself and try so badly to be highly respected film maker. Well, at least he got now some pocket money to start doing movies he so much have passion to. Yes, do that and leave games to others, seemingly you can't make them any longer. No wonder this game was made so quickly since it contains so little. Everything in Death Stranding is just... empty.    … Expand

It was a drag. I cannot recommend it to anyone.

    Even the social building in this game is hilarious - if you do not build it yourself nobody will... I have encountered so many useless stuff around the world. Anything meaningful was build by me. And I didn't even receive any likes for the most useful stuff.

    To me this game is 0, because even the building and social aspect of the game is not good    … Expand

    Mr. Kojima has made a boring movie(eternal cinematics), with a psychedelic story with spectral detecting fetuses, with boring and repetitive gameplay mechanics, but which is technically wonderful.

    Its a pretty dull game that's lackluster in enjoyable moments. Primarily, gameplay involves simply walking all across the map doing repetitive fetch quests.

    Kojima is the Quentin Tarantino of video games, absolute trash. Egotistical and narcissistic. This game is a waste of your money and your time. Boring and pretentious. Monotonous and lame. Do not buy.

    Intentaras evitar morir, no por la perdida de experiencia u objetos, que no lo hay, ya que al morir aparecerás exactamente en el sitio donde lo hiciste, lo que no querrás perder al morir, es ese tiempo de tu vida, viendo una y otra vez las mismas cinemáticas del BB.    … Expand

    Le puse un par de horas al juego, su apartado técnico es muy bueno pero su entorno está vacío y no hay nada que hacer. Las misiones son las mismas siempre ir de un punto A a B y después de B a C todo el tiempo. El juego es tedioso y muy aburrido se le ha hecho mucha publicidad nada mas. No vale nada

    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.
