    THIS GAME IS MORE THEN A MASTERPIECE AND I GUESS PEOPLE CANT SEE THAT. Yeah it's slow but it's not boring and for the people who didn't get past 20 hours I really fell bad for you because your missing out. It's way better then a 6.3 and that score just pisses me off.

    From the begining I realized that this game not for everyone. There's no shooting, action and some kind of activity gameplay. All you need to do - go through rivers, climbing up mountains, enjoy landscape and listen wonderful music. Sometimes you meet enemies who pose no threat even on high difficulty. But specifically for me it's not a problem, I adore games like this. A lot of cutscenesFrom the begining I realized that this game not for everyone.

Sometimes you meet enemies who pose no threat even on high difficulty. But specifically for me it's not a problem, I adore games like this. A lot of cutscenes with interesting story and characters. I think this game has only one minus - Sam, Each f_king dialogue begins with an appeal to you by name. - SAM! Sam... Sam... SAM! "Stop it pls, what are you want from me, just shut the f_k up and start talking about my next mission, I know what I'am Sam, there's no one here but me" :D Anyway, everyone should to try play this game, worth it.… Expand

    Es mucho mejor de lo que esperaba, sin duda. Pero obviamente no es para casuals.

    Si eres casual, le pondrás mala nota a este juego, o si tu nicho son los FIFA, por muy bueno que sea el God of War, no te va a gustar. Esto es la misma historia de siempre.

    No me gusta nada FIFA, y no voy a ponerle un 1, por que simplemente no me guste.

    Thank Kojima
    The game is very atmospheric!
    It is a pity that so few people value something good, unique! There would be more games like this. I advise everyone who loves the meaning of the games, story, idea. Thanks to Kojima for this game, we are still waiting for such work! This is art, the game is adult and smart. It is worth considering what do you play, bad that masterpiece passes    Thank Kojima

    This game isn't for everyone. I understand the complaints people have about it. But after investing some 80+ hours into it, I have to agree it's a very unusual experience worth the journey.

    CallofDutyboyz are disappointed.

    Both gameplay and story are extremly addictive. Sure, it strongly depends on what kind of man you are, but for me personally (as well as for my wife) the game is an absolute masterpiece. The only possible reason for your potential disappointment are wrong expectations.

    There is a lot that can be said about this game but boring is not one of them. Kojima is a great mind and he shows once again his crazy way of thinking.

    The game goes full meta on so many things it's nearly impossible to follow it perfectly clear. If there is one flow in this monumental digital art, it is the meta factor going a little over the top. It demands the player to be thinking way out of the box to cope with the ingame reality and "living"he in it.
    It's a movie itself in a variety of genres and the " actors" are doing their part phenomenally.
    If you don't give it a solid chance from the start you can easily be pushed away and that will probably be the case with a lot of people, simply because their expectations are way off the concept of this form of digital art. I've read some of the reviews and can easily say that most of the so called jurnos didn't even finish the game before giving the game a mediocre score, based clearly on some of the game's more irritating gameplay feats. Dont mind them!
    If you are up for something new, something different, something that will make you lose an hour simply trekking a mountain carrying a box of sperm samples and pizza just to get a tiny piece of the story and the right to manufacture a levitating cargo holder that can be used as a skateboard - then this one of a kind art game is for you.    … Expand

Beautiful graphics, animations and world overall. mind blowing story, fantastic music, varied characters. overall well composed masterpiece. Whoever calls it a "walking sim" obviously didn't play the game and did not engage. Good job Kojima! (i'm not a fan boy)

    Everything i hoped for and more! I've been a fan of this game since it was announced. The gameplay is the perfect mixture of complex and yet simple. This game is for a certain type players its not your average action game and its not your average fetch quest game either. Its the new genre strand.

    A game for mature players that dont have to shoot something every 10 seconds to enjoy a videogame.

Excellent in almost every way and is just let down by lack of depth to mission requirements and no skill tree or way to spend xp(likes) so getting xp is pointless. That said the gameplay is a excellent mix of exploration, inventory management strategy and a risk vs reward terrain traversal game loop. Also dark souls style hint sharing with ability to share building and items adds a community feel to the game. Only gripes about it are that it becomes a bit repetitive in the last half of the game and its difficulty curve is weird. It starts off really difficult and then gets easier as it goes on in large sections of the game and you dont really have a need for your cool new toys by the last half of the game except for some excellent mountain missions. Also no replay value because once you have explored the map there is no point playing anymore, i found myself only doing story missions and no side ones as I just wanted to go to the next area. 8.5/10 but on here a ten to counteract the zero bombs. Deserves a quick playthrough by all serious gamers as its very unique and the world is very immersive.… Expand

    Good game. I'm pretty sure most 0s or 1s or whatever didn't even play it. You can dislike the game. But to say anything is fundamentally wrong or broken with it is a straight up lie, or again they didn't play it. Everything works as it's supposed to. It's never felt "wonky" to me.

It's never felt "wonky" to me. In fact Sam's movement is incredibly intuitive and responsive. The gameplay loop is not one everyone will love. But it is certainly one that I do. The terrain is your "enemy" every single time you rebalance yourself, climb a mountain, cross a dangerous river, it feels like it's own little victory. The segments with BTs are tense and its genuinely scary when you mess up and one starts following you around. No, you probably wont sir in this game. But the punishment for death is huge. The real punishment of messing up anyway, is not your health reaching 0, it's your cargo getting damaged, or you having to go back to pick up cargo that got dropped in whatever accident you had. The game is an absolute gem. And I love every second of it. No, it's not a walking simulator and anyone who says it is, is an absolute hack… Expand

It’s beautiful and the time spent in the world, where you see scattered traces of other players who have left bridges, protection and warnings along the way to guide you through the elements is a spellbinding experience. This is what happens when one person is given complete oversight over something as expansive as this: yeah, there's clumsy metaphors, corny dialogue and some bizarre mechanics but it's *complete* in a way that almost no other release is. Its themes, messaging and gameplay continuity are so constantly with you, and you're consistently being reminded of them without it getting old.

    I'd just say: don’t impulse-buy this because it’s a Kojima title and you're looking for MGS, you’ll be disappointed like so many on this website. Look into it properly and buy it for the game that it is.    … 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.
