    This not a game, at best an interactive app, because there is nothing fun to play. The world is inconsitent and lack of coherence. The only thing good, is the acting but it doesn't make a game.

    Definitely a waste of $. Good graphics and odd cinematic, but everything else is boring and stupidly over complex. You'll spend more time managing inventory and traversing overly detailed, poorly explained menus than you will actually doing something other than hold R2

    No es mas que una película disfrazada de juego. Las mecánicas son repetitivas a un punto artante, se pierde el interés a las pocas horas de jugarlo.

    Un desastre de juego, primero hicieron la historia-cinematicas y al final metieron el gameplay, un asco la jugabilidad y todas las misiones repetidas

    Simplemente no a sido dirigido para ser un juego, si fuese una película no estaría mal. Pero el juego esta tan lleno de "relleno" que no es ni disfrutable su única característica positiva "la narrativa"

    An overrated, monotonous game, which according to their trailers sell the idea of ​​a game full of new and amazing things. total disappointment. decent graphics although with flat and sterile environments.

    Juego aburrido, que espera hasta el final para tirarte toda la información restante (que no es poca), que faltaba de la historia, mundo vacío, "acción" decepcionante, un walking simulator en toda regla que tiene como mecánica principal el de ser un trabajador de federal Express. Yo sinceramente, le tenía esperanza al juego, pero, termino siendo muy decepcionante al final. Muchas gracias.

    As a movie, it works very good, it haves all what a movie needs, script, photography , charisma in characters... but as a video GAME doesnt give enything new, repetitive, monotonous... i think the only point in favour is the music, because of the timing but i think you better buy the ost, unless you want to walk in a game from point A to point B forever, or in 40 hrs...

    Death Stranding excels as a movie.... but as a game, it falls flat. The gameplay is BORING, repetitive and linear, there's NO actual risk, no AI, the game can be easily cheesed by holding the 2 triggers simultaneously as you walk into a barren, empty wasteland.

    Overcoming the torture of a gameplay it has for it's story is not for everyone. Not for me definitiviely.

    The game has good graphics, animations (mostly). Voice perfomance, and some good tracks.
    But there is nothing more, no good gameplay, not live enviroment, nothing. And the worst, the uggly publicitary campaign.    … Expand

    The worst walking simulator. Enemies are far way to useless, the bosses are boring, and the game has absolutely 0 fun until the 20 ours and then u pass from 0 fun to 0,1. A real waste of money.

    Garbage game. Boring and too overrated. All you do is walk and walk and deliver packages. The graphics are good, the music is good but that's pretty much it. This gets nominated for Goty but not DMC5??! are you kidding me??

    Lo peor de cualquier juego, las misiones de recadero, aqui son la trama central de la jugabilidad, comprenlo si buscan pasar las 40 hs mas aguadas y aburridas de su vida. La jugabilidad y la historia del juego se sientes completamente desconectadas. La musica es buena.

    Juego aburrido y sin sentido. Si quiero repartir paquetes lo hago por dinero, y si quiero ver una peli voy al cine. Paisajes sin árboles y vegetación plana... Una gran vendida de humojima.

    Demasiado aburrido para mi gusto, de verdad no se recomiendo a nadie, la historia es una justificacion porque no tiene nada que ofrecer, graficamente es genial pues no se duda de esto siendo el motor grafico de guerrilla studios, un gran desperdicio de recursos en un solo titulo,

    Es increible la forma de tirar todo el potencial con una jugabilidad adurrida.

    i played for a about 10 hours and realized there simply is no fun to be had. the first couple of introductory hours kinda drew me in and the first delivery missions and stealing from a Mule post wasnt to bad, seemed like a chill game but then a few hours later you realize that this game is an unfun pain in the ass to continue. its a about as fun as an actual long ass walk in the rain. alsoi played for a about 10 hours and realized there simply is no fun to be had. the first couple of introductory hours kinda drew me in and the first delivery missions and stealing from a Mule post wasnt to bad, seemed like a chill game but then a few hours later you realize that this game is an unfun pain in the ass to continue. its a about as fun as an actual long ass walk in the rain. also the Sam character could care less about anything he does in the game. what a boring character… Expand

    The infamous walking simulator. Why Kojima?

    + great music and graphics
    + world looks beautiful
    - boring, pointless walking, no actual "game"play, which is the most important part of a game.

    Game realmente muito cansativo e que deveria se chamar walking simulator. Tá para filme do que um game. Muito chato ter que ficar assistindo!

    un walking simulator caro e inflado por parte de kojima productions,sony y los fans de playstation.
    Espero que esto sea el retiro de los videojuegos por parte de kojima,porque no se quien va a darle dinero para hacer un videojuego a raiz de la estafa que fue death stranding.

    I've been an avid gamer for 15 years. This is, without a doubt, the worst game I have ever played. It is also the first game I haven't finished. A few key failings;

    - The character movement is awfully clunky, especially when riding the reverse trike. This is a very fundamental failing for a game in which you spend 99% of your time walking or driving around. - The controls are clunky,    I've been an avid gamer for 15 years.

    - The character movement is awfully clunky, especially when riding the reverse trike. This is a very fundamental failing for a game in which you spend 99% of your time walking or driving around.

    - The controls are clunky, unintuitive and poorly explained.

    - The crying baby is immensely irritating.

    - This is the least compelling open-world game I've played. The world feels hollow and empty, and it isn't truly open - you regularly get funneled into areas with unavoidable hazards which is an incredibly artificial way to engineer a confrontation. Timefall also repeatedly occurs in the same places.

    - The game is plagued with cutscenes, prepare to sit through hours of them. Or skip them, many are essentially meaningless.

    - The game is also extremely linear and repetitive. It is essentially a giant fetch quest.

    One redeeming feature of the game is that it has a very unusual story, but this doesn't make it unique. Spend your money on the Witcher 3 or HZD, or literally anything else and save yourself the disappointment that is this game.    … Expand

    The cult of Kojima will throw out 10s no matter what he does. But for anyone evaluating this on its own merits, it's a pretentious game about not-Daryl throwing his turds at ghosts and chugging Monster Energy.

    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.
