    Do not play this "videogame". You'll regret. Story is not bad at all but you spend most of the time walking from point A to point B (more than 40 hours like that).

    El juego es una poronga, las primeras dos horas son cinemática con un tutorial camuflado, después cuando por fin podes jugar, tenés que repartir mierdas sobre el mapa que es enorme y no tienes nada más para hacer, andar en moto? Para que ? Si puedo andar en la vida real.

    So many unfulfilled promises, so many hypes, so much time, investment, marketing and especially originality that seemed to emerge from this game all that why? For a delivery game that never transcends that has only its "originality" for him without bringing interesting gameplay mechanics, without bringing a significant story, without bringing interactions with the environment. A game that does not develop its universe and that is content to create a new generic open-world that allows itself the luxury of being constantly annoying.

    A masterpiece ? Certainly not he or no finesse, no nuance. The message of the game jumps in the eyes of the first 3 minutes of kinematics as it is conformist and hollow.

    In short I could have spent a lot of other things but it is better for my sanity that I stop there and I digest my biggest disappointment in my life as a gamer ...    … Expand

    I had a hard time evaluating Metal Gear Solid 5, possibly the best feeling and most enjoyable third-person shooter I've ever played, a game held back by a weak and hollow story.

Despite it's flaws, I can look back and comfortably say I enjoyed my time. Death stranding has not been enjoyable at any point. The themes, world, seem incredible, but the game is absolutely monotonous and no world building can save the game for me; that's like saying well made game trailers can make a bad game good. This is death stranding to me, awesome ideas and themes baked into trailers for an absolutely nothing game.

    i would not waste my life on this game. Kojima should get into movie directing and I'm not saying that to dismiss him, I just think that movie making would fulfill what he wants more than games given the game he came out with independent of Konami.    … Expand

    It really sucks how Kojima is always seeking the approval from people that are disconnected from the gaming industry. That includes Hollywood actors and directors (George Miller, JJ Abrams), but even those outside of the Hollywood industry like musicians, fashion models(???), etc. Why do these people matter?

He even cast Mala Moran, a model completely incapable of acting, as a slightly-important side character (look up the chiral artist, and you will explode with cringe). Whyyyyy???
    Kojima is just super disconnected from the game industry, and is also disconnected from the common gamers (rise up) who actually matter. Instead of just bashing Americans, he needs to listen the criticisms and use them to his advantage. But I guess he'd rather have "yes men" surrounding him, leaving his ego unchecked. Always retweeting people who "like the view" of the game, or "are touched by the story", are you kidding me?
    We want Tomokazu Fukushima back. Or if not that, then at least better recognition of the legend himself.    … Expand

    Play something different once in a while! Forget Kojima. Forget the hype. It's a different game. That's it. It's been a few hours and you guys throw out 0 reviews like you were expecting to fall off a flying bus and kill mobs. I played for 4 hours slept and when I think about the bond you develop with the BB in the first few hours I smile. Relax, sit back and enjoy it.

Un juego en el que la historia y la narrativa son sus puntos fuertes , así y todo la historia y la manera de contarla no me parecen la gran cosa, un gameplay aburrido y repetitivo, por lo que en su apartado jugable es malo.Lo unico que resalto son sus gráficos foto realistas para los paisajes y la elección de buenos artistas para la música pero sacando eso el juego me parece mediocre. Kojima se quiso hacer el raro por hacerse el diferente y quedar como genio incomprendido. En mi opinión este juego como película es pasable de un 7.5 o cercano, como juego es mediocre.… Expand

    Ya aviso Kojima con MGS V y ahora con Death stranding ha terminado de perpetrar la mayor estafa del mundo de los videojuegos. Gameplay insufrible,nada satisfactorio. Repetitivo hasta la nausea. Argumento pretencioso y grandilocuente. Aun no lo he terminado y ni me preocupa. Me arrepiento de haber caido en la trampa.

    Beautiful game, but very boring gameplay, story was OK but overall the game was a overhyped walking sim, yes it has vehicles and combat but that is a small part of the game and the Cobat was the worst I have seen In a game.
    You can get a job delivering pizzas and experience this but actually get paid for it rather than paying for it.

    Terrible, monotonous, confusing and pretentious, this is not a game, It's a movie, Kojima isn't the man to make games, he's the man to make movies, groundbreaking movies.
    But when you let him do whatever he wants, this is the result: A walking simulator that comes with a movie, a movie that can't show It's full potential because IT'S NOT A MOVIE, It's cutscenes.

    Not even 24hrs after buying it, I will be trading it in. What a boring, overhyped mess of a game, you really don't feel any sense of being rewarded throughout play apart from being gifted cut-scenes. The gameplay and story are both extremely tedious and nonsensical, and overall extremely boring and repetitive.

    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.
