    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Creo que ningún juego es un 10, pero con todos los absurdos 0-4 que le están dando los haters, o gente que no entiende el juego, tendré que ponerlo como un 10 para combatir contra todos esos “mente cerradas”.

    Solo llevo como 4 o quizás más horas jugando al juego, estoy en el episodio 2, y la verdad es que estoy sorprendido con las historia que te empiezan a contar al principio, los gráficos, los bellos paisajes, y como no... el gameplay el cual hasta donde voy actualmente en el juego, es relajante gracias a los buenos soundtracks que empiezan a sonar durante un viaje, satisfactorio gracias a las mecánicas y animaciones complejas que tiene el juego, y mientras más te sumerges en la historia, más entretenido se te hace el gameplay y el juego, porque los npc que encuentras las paradas te cuentan su historia y te dicen que más gente te necesita, además de lo que te cuentan en la historia principal y etc. Pero si no tienes paciencia o simplemente eres de los que te gusta ir directamente a la acción como los juegos shooters online, rpgs, etc. Este juego quizá no te interese mucho... es más para la gente que tenga una mente abierta a la hora de jugar videos juegos, y que no solo se enfoquen en los mismo de siempre como lo acabo de mencionar.

    Todavía no puedo contar mucho, pero con el tiempo que llevo jugando, el juego me esta encantado, no puedo parar de jugarlo, es una obra única y inmensa que quizá nunca habíamos visto antes, (y eso que el juego apenas me llegó hoy), pero al parecer hay gente que no ve eso y simplemente le dan de 4 a 0 por que si (la mayoría haters), este juego es mínimo de un 8 a 9. Los que si lo están disfrutando, me alegro... y jugar todo lo que podamos!    … Expand

    I understand why this game is so divisive. It definitely isn't for everyone but just because someone doesn't like it, it doesn't mean "they don't get it". It just means they don't like it.

Speaking from personal experience though, I think Death Stranding offers an unparalleled level of cinematic immersion. I'm not a Kojima fan - I've never played Metal Gear Solid (or any of his previous games for that matter). So my 10/10 rating is based purely on my experience of this as a standalone game. I think the development team has managed to create a truly unique environment for the gamers to explore and throughout my time of play, I genuinely felt like I was Sam - traversing through this chaotic world of Post-apocalyptic America. If you're sitting on the fence because of the mixed review this game has received, my recommendation would be that (if this option is available to you) you rent it first and if you like it as I do, then buy it.… Expand

    I'm in awe. This is everything I wished for, amazing adventure and incredibly fresh story. I finally got something fresh, completely new and different from gears of war and call of duty mindless shooter chewing gum kind of games. This year was amazing for single player games and this is a main title to crown them all. Must have title.

Definitly this game is not for players whose looking for frenetic, brainless action game. No this is not COD, Fortnite etc. This game is much more. No micro transactions and more than 50 hours of play time. Ohhh my lord this is back to future and it is real.… Expand

    I’m playing video games since the 80s, grew up with sonic, played super mario 64 like crazy and was hooked with my first PlayStation and the first Tomb Raider, Resident Evil and Silent Hill.

Video games, like music and movies, have always been an important part in my life. But with almost everything in life nothing lasts forever, and years ago I reached a point where nothing felt worth it anymore to play. It’s not that I didn’t felt the urge to play, but there was nothing satisfying out there. And then came Dark Souls and Bloodborne. It was all I’ve ever wanted but never could have imagined such a concept and gameplay. Well, with death stranding I’m feeling very much like when I discovered the soulsborne games. It’s just one step ahead in every matter. Of course the graphics are pretty awesome, but what really flashed me was the gameplay. In all those years I’ve never got anything even close to that experience. It’s only my opinion, but this game has next level mechanics, incredibly precise, you just feel every step and move. That’s why it’s so entertaining to just get with your cargo through an area and you piss yourself when the BTs or Mules are coming. Because it’s not just running away like in every other game. It’s like running away irl, where you have to consider every obstacle. It’s **** goosebumps when the enemy is literally flying above you and you have to press R1 to hold your breath, move slowly forwards but consider the balance of your cargo, take care of your BB and think where is a good point to inhale again. And please quick, because the TimeFall is ruining your equipment. There is no other game like this, that’s why so many people don’t get it because they’re just watching it on YouTube and don’t get what it means to bring Sam through all this. A rare 10/10 for me, in a row with Resident Evil 2 and 4, Bloodborne, Dark Souls and Horizon Zero Dawn.… Expand

    I normally like Kojima's style and i appreciate the work he has done but holy hell this has to be one of the worst games i've ever played in my life. Kojima's ego got the best of him and this dumpster fire was the finished product. Packing the cast with famous actors doesn't make a good game.

    Really enjoying it, not for everyone, but I do believe that Metacritic should verify purchases by having people accounts linked by a simple Trophy check system as some people that are giving Zeros don’t own the game, but it’s looks amazing the audio / music is brilliant, and the story is Amazing to, but it not for everyone,

    I have played over 4 hours and it's like no other game I have ever played. It's slow methodical but so gorgeous. I think we should embrace games that try something new instead of your cods and gtas. Regurgitating the same old formula but with a new shine. Praise be hideo kojima the saviour of video games..

    A well crafted game that managed to make traversal enjoyable and engaging. Intense gameplay, and a thought prevoking story. Nothing like anything else I've played. Im totally memorized and see myself sinking dozens upon dozens of hours into this beautiful world.

    Kojima has done it again. not only is this his first game post leaving konami and moving on from silent hills and metal gear solid but this game is balls to the walls increible and is a must play to any fan of kojimas work on the critically famed Metal Gear Solid frachise must play.

    Technological marvel. By far the most amazing game graphically when it comes to realism. Compelling story so far with a message of hope.
    Death Stranding seems to have a focus on the journey and having time to think. It is very interesting to see an essentially empty world that shows more and more signs of life the longer one plays. Some are calling it boring, but any open world game is    Technological marvel.

    I like my games with a good unique story, some eye candy, emotional engagement , something thought provoking and a good challenge. Death Stranding is a win in my opinion.

    I went into death stranding with very high expectations, with it being a kojima game and was left disappointed with the tedious and boring gameplay loop of deliver item X to point A to point B.The world was beautiful and detailed and the story was interesting. It's ok.

The game has you delivering cargo and gives you the tools to do so. But gives you the freedom to do it however you want. It's a true RPG in the sense that you role play as the character. You really feel the weight of each package you carry. Going from point a to point b may sound boring at first. But it's very engaging when you allow the game to put you in the shoes of the main character. I find it really cool how the meta game and multiplayer has everyone helping each other. Not to mention the story is really engaging and interesting. I think if you give it a chance you might be surprised at how much you enjoy 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.
