    A totally different approach from Kojima Productions in todays gaming industry. Mechanics and the concept is not for everyone. But if you are someone who likes micromanagement, interesting storytelling and patience-reward systems in general, you will love it.

    Death stranding is the most forward thinking game I have played in years. While it disguises itself as a open world sandbox it is very much a new genre all of itself.

This is a game that centers itself around delivering packages from point a to point b this might sound boring but if you are open minded you will find the gameplay is unlike anygame before it and is extremely rewarding. I suspect dispite the hundreds of warnings allot of people will buy this expecting a new action based hit, this is not what death stranding is, this is a game that is wrapped in mystery and builds on it's themes using symbolism and emotion . It's not going to be for everyone but those of us who have a deeper understanding of kojima outside mgs this might be his best work.… Expand

    I am absolutely enthralled by this game. I am sick of the twitch shooter and battle royals genre and thos game is the antidote. Make sure you get chapter 3 before scoring this game. Super excited to see how the strand system works out.

    Being honest, the game is incredible ... the story, the technical section and especially the characters so Kojima, it was a total triumph, but well said Kojima, IT IS NOT A GAME FOR EVERYONE, it is something new and it did unbelievable

    Apparently most of the players forgot that the game is not just running and shooting like crazy. The game can be art, an interactive kin, telling its story. Especially from such a creator as Kojima. Unjustified attacks.

    Las cinemáticas son impresionantes, pero el desarrollo es aburrido, los combates flojos y los enfrentamientos con los jefes son anodinos. Una pena, esperaba mucho más.

Stellar production values throughout make this one of the top tier AAA games of this generation. Outstanding acting, music & visuals, art design, world lore, game mechanics, all blend into an amazing spectacle that will keep your jaw on the floor and your hands locked on your DualShock for hours. Exploring this strange, weird alternate universe is essential if you love serious sci-fi and existentialist themes. The gameplay is a mix of immersive sim, open world quests and action RPG to create a unique style of fetch/delivery mechanic that feels fresh & compelling. New gameplay elements appear as you get further into the game and as its initially slow paced to teach you the essentials, it really ramps up the pacing the further you progress. Superb game that’s become one of my favourite titles of the PS4 generation.… Expand

    The game has nice graphics, but terrible bugs, the character falls all the time, gets stucked in little rocks. if you go against the big rocks, you can go through them like a hologram. Mini bosses are harmless, if you keep stand in the same place they will go eventually. Basicaly the AI SUCKS. Veeeeeery large cinematics. MONSTER ENERGY had to pay a lot of

    He intentado ser lo mas positivo posible con este juego, pero era de lo mas esperable que este juego traiga varias decepciones. Cabe destacar algunas cosas de este juego, como los gráficos y... Pues eso mismo. Después, todo lo que lleva el juego, ya sea jugabilidad, banda sonora, físicas e historia. Todos estos apartados son los que me obligan a poner esta nota.

    Of course, there are also disadvantages, but they do not interfere with the gameplay. The soundtrack is very beautiful! This game is very difficult to distinguish from the movie.

    Después de unas 60 horas en Acceso anticipado, solo puedo decir una cosa, Obra de Arte, juegazo de autor, profunda jugabilidad, historia de cine, pero no de cine de por la tarde, si no de cine de 5estrellas, tiene un inicio difícil, demasiado difícil, pero tras unas horas muy sufridas todo tiene una gran recompensa, juegazo de 10!

    There are going to be people that hate this game because it's different than the mainstream, there's going to be people that love it for the same reasons. This is NOT a game that can be rightfully critiqued in a written review. It really is an experience that you need to sit down and immerse yourself in to ultimately know if it's something for you as an individual.

    Bueno, me parece más una película con descansos de caminata para despejar la mente que un videojuego. Espero q con las horas mejore. Lo q mas me gusta es su banda sonora.

    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.
