    No lo quería creer hasta jugarlo pero resultó ser verdad y es que a pesar de su historia y sus gráficos el Death Stranding es un juego monótono y decepcionante, el control es malo, irónicamente el personaje a penas puede caminar de tanto que tropieza y para colmo hay una misión donde debes tener cuidado de no tropezar porque te explotará una bomba, me arrepiento de haberlo comprado, no loNo lo quería creer hasta jugarlo pero resultó ser verdad y es que a pesar de su historia y sus gráficos el Death Stranding es un juego monótono y decepcionante, el control es malo, irónicamente el personaje a penas puede caminar de tanto que tropieza y para colmo hay una misión donde debes tener cuidado de no tropezar porque te explotará una bomba, me arrepiento de haberlo comprado, no lo recomiendo en lo absoluto.… Expand

    I've played it for 7 hours and all i can say is that it gets tiresome very soon. I thought exploring will be comfy (like exploring while listening to podcasts and enjoying the views) but it gets boring and unrewarding very soon. Maybe the story will be the redeeming factor but i just can't imagine walking during 40 min through a void land just to see a cutscene, and then repeat and repeat.I've played it for 7 hours and all i can say is that it gets tiresome very soon.

    Most of the low rating incompetent reviewers before me clearly have not played the game for much longer than an hour which is when their tiny brains start to fade out.

If you had put an actual effort in and played a few more hours into this game after it has presented enough of the background story to you like any good game would, you start to unlock amazing tools, forms of transportation like a motorcycle, neat gear that changes your abilities and the story only gets thicker and better as time progresses. It takes a certain level and type of gamer to complete and comprehend a game of this magnitude and brilliance so to all you “0” raters don’t feel bad, I’m sure Disney or Sesame Street will put something out for you soon to rate 10 because you could count along and beat the game in an hour.… Expand

    People have the nerve to complain about EA and Ubisoft pumping the same **** out every year and then when a truly original game comes along and challenges its audience you all cry about it. Sad!

    Brilliant game. Anyone with a bit of patience will see the the quality gameplay and the long term rewards. The multiplayer/shared universe element is an added bonus. Beautiful and complex, Death Stranding is a Kojima game through and through with his trademark storytelling and humour. Loving it so far

    This is an ambitious game that is unique in almost all aspects. For this I applaud the developers. The story is wild and the gameplay is engrossing. While this game isn’t for everyone, it hits the mark for me.

    saying this is a walking simulator is overly simplified, it is more of a high risk delivery simulator. The game is polished and has amazing graphics, the story is fresh and unique from all games currently in the market, it's always cool to hate on something different but this game is needed to push the medium forward.

    It isn't your flashy game that grant you instant gratification like many other games do these days to attract more audience.

    Nor is it fitting within any catergory of games. Most of the time this game has its quiet moments and those moments are absolutely fantastic. While the surrounding and environment makes you truly feel like you're alone. Manifestation of other players can be seen or heard. This makes the game less lonely but yet it feels so desolate. The devs and directing did this absolutely brilliantly.

    The transition within this game is just outright fantastic. Including the acting and cutscenes. Its a very well polished game and very well excecuted. While situated in a serious environment, this game does not stop to show and express the absurdity of what gaming is. A good reflection on life how we shouldn't deny the absurdity of life.

    Ita unique to it's core and there is no other games like this. Which is good.
    Kojima is pushing for something here. And rest assure that in the upcoming near future, many games will apply and use elements of Death Stranding to into their own.

    10/10 give it a shot.    … Expand

    Excellent music, the main story is dense, pretentious, but it is admirable what happens to Hideo Kojima and his team, that should not be discredited.

    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.
