    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best and most original games out there. Try it out for yourself.

    Its not your typical game where you feel instant gratification for just pushing the buttons in the right order. It can be boring, it can be tedious. But a mew type of videogame experience, and in my opinion, similar to watching an indi movie, or reading a good book. Hard to argue with the split reviews, you will either like it or you wont. And watching it is a good way to tell.

    The studio was formed 3 years ago. And in less time that many other fully formed studios, this company has put out a AAA title that has a way of playing not seen anywhere else. Ignore the Kojima cult, but also ignore the haters. Make up your own mind. I loved it. Hope you try it.    … Expand

    This game is not for everyone. Complaining about this game being repetitious doesn't make sense to me because technical all games are. If you're looking for intense action, go play COD/etc. You do walk a lot, but everything you do has a purpose. This is my first Kojima game and I can say that it's definitely an unique experience.

    This game revolutionized gaming with the help of Monster Energy and the Ceo of UPS. My main gripes with the game is there was too many sections in the movie where you have to deliver mail.

    Worst game ever made. Buy days gone instead. The creator is so overrated. People praising him are just members of his cult. Simple as that.

    The game is fantastic. I played it on my friend's ps4 pro, so far awesome experience. Unique! I will buy it whet it will release on PC. But combat system could be better. But never mind still a great game!

    This game provides excellent gameplay, provided a slow burn, in the beginning, to set you in the mood. You have to start with this to understand what kind of setting to understand the game. After 2 hours(a short time) the game provides a myriad of mechanics and items to stretch yourself across the map. Death Stranding is one of the best games I have played ALL year of I hope you buy this game.

    I wanted to play death stranding since they announced it. The main issue with the game is that it’s just way too boring. I understand there are some deeper issues that kojima was going for but this game just isn’t fun. There are way too many cutscenes which make the game hard to pay attention to.

    The game -although definitely divisive- is fun in it's own unique ways. It's a fascinating slow-burn masterpiece that's keeping me hooked. After 12 straight hours of playing I took the liberty of writing a review. The only thing that bugs me is the clunky menus. I was pleasantly surprised after reading many of the horrid things others had to say about it.

    I do not enjoy the gameplay, nor do I enjoy or understand any of the plot, it literally drags onward way too slow to grasp me.

    Kojima, please make real movies and stop trying to create videogame genres. This is Paperboy NES+Horror elements evolved, not a new genre at all. The model for Amelie is a technical marvel, based entirely off of a photo of Lindsay Wagner 40+ years ago, and    I do not enjoy the gameplay, nor do I enjoy or understand any of the plot, it literally drags onward way too slow to grasp me.

    Lastly, you can slam monster energy drinks like no tomorrow with no health repercussions, and shake babies with no penalty (ie: the motion control sensor is too sensitive and can shake the baby rather than cradle it), these two things I disagree with fundamentally.    … Expand

    It's a very different kind of videogame : But IT IS GOOD. Level design is incredible, graphics are one of the best i've seen on a regular ps4. Gameplay is weird but very fresh, stealth parts are great and happen more often than I thought so. Cutscenes and storywise, it's going to keep you hooked.

It is definitely a game you haven´t seen before.

    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.
