    I appreciate death stranding being unique. But I think people just don’t have the time for something such as a walking simulator. That’s exactly what this game is unfortunately.

    Increíblemente aburrido, definitivamente no es un juego para divertir, en realidad no se ni que intención tiene, todo vacío, caminar, caminar, caminar, vídeo largo, caminar, caminar........

    The best part of these game was the development. It was a mystery. And now, we have all lies on a surrface. Every feature that we were promised, works only in cut scenes. Every MGS had a lot of problems< but they had a gameplay. and now we only have a problems. #KonamiGenius ****

    It is strange that a genius did not understand that in the open world there should be a bandage to study it, the world should not be empty and there must be exciting gameplay otherwise boredom and walking, and I can watch videos in YouTube, well, it’s clearly not worth the money !! !

    We should have never doubted Konami. This **** hack burned through countless millions making an unfinished game that was MGSV and now has delivered a literal 80 hour fetch quest

    Эта игра заслуживает своей десятки. Всем она хороша, но в купе образует настоящий венец искусства. Больше всего поражают долбаебы, которые ставят игре нули. Вам обещали медленную и медитативную игру еще два года назад. Она вышла и теперь вы ноете, что это симулятор хоть бы? Нахуй вы вообще живете?Эта игра заслуживает своей десятки.

    Thank god someone tried to make a different game. This industry is getting real predictable and this is what we need right now. Thank you kojima and crew for having balls enough to do so.

    This game is an ego driven project thats left unchecked, who actually play tested this and not find it extremely repetitive and boring? The only glue holding this game are the story and graphics and not much else. I love Kojima, but he's due for a dud and this game is it, save your money on something else or heck replay TPP you'll have a better time than going through this slog of a game.

    Just as in the game, where the "Death Stranding" divided humanity, here we are, divided in reviewing this masterpiece, victims to yet another kind of "death stranding".

"Death Stranding" is a new type of medium, which reflects its own reality into our own: a reality of being divided, "not connected". "Death Stranding" is probably the first game ever, and will maybe be the only one, to so efficiently spread its message by reproducing its catastrophe, the "Death Stranding", specifically in how we see this game, and, more "universally" speaking, to how we humans, as beings belonging to different cultures, often look in a hostile way to other men, or even worse, declare our culture superior, as history has already too many times proven. Kojima understood that, and made it his purpose to show us this everlasting flaw in mankind. "Death Stranding" dystopic future is already looming upon us: humanity as a whole is the only entity capable of rewriting our destiny.… Expand

What if this game was made by a small group of people that nobody has heard of. Bet most of the reviews would be positive. The game would be praised by most of the same people here giving the game a bad score. The very same people would also praise the developers for trying something completely new that hasn't ever been done before. All in all, this is a really great game. It requires lots of planning before embarking on a new mission and patience. The game's mechanics are really solid. It's just an overall brilliant game to play.… Expand

Everything is just super smooth and I would say I consider this is a technical achievement.

    I can sense that this game will be re-visited by many people years later just to discover how ahead of it's time this game really is. I am finally glad that someone took a risk in the AAA industry to make something mysterious and exciting.

    I am not saying this because I am a Kojima fan or anything, it's just that I genuinely had a blast playing this game and it definitely will be remembered by me for a long time!    … 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.
