    definetly is boring. Awful character's movements. Too much markenting and advertinsing and the final product is sooo average. Not even in the top 20 of this year...

    Bad game design, money wasted. The truck is undriveable on snow. Game mechanics are poor. Boring walking simulator.

    A bad game from a bad game designer. Hideo was one of the most overrated person in game industry ever.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would place it at mediocre. It’s only original if your knowledge of games is The Last Of Us...and that’s it.
    Gameplay-wise, it boils down to a trekking simulator where weight, health, weather conditions, and enemies need to be monitored to successfully complete deliveries.    … Expand

    toma elementos prestados de juegos como BREATH OF THE WILD, SHADOW OF COLOSSUS, ICO, STAR HAWK, METAL GEAR SURVIVAL, etc... es una decepcion de un juego hecho por un hombre egocentrico de una sola saga, que logro grandes cosas con un buen equipo de trabajo esperemos que su proximo proyecto sea menos pretencioso y mejor trabajado en algunos meses el juego se parcha o pasa al olvido    … Expand

    BOOOOOORING GAME and Overhyped. This should be a movie instead of a Videogame. Nice looking game but thats about it. One of the worse games this generation. Save your money and time.

    This game alternates a movie with forced twists to a monotonous and unrewarding gameplay.

    The game presents various problems such as: absent difficulty (even opting for the hardest difficulty); flatness of the boss fight, without variety. Omnipresent and increasingly boring backtracking; painful artificial intelligence; Empty game environments to keep the graphic level high

    If you like walking around an empty boring and bland world this one is for you.
    it has to be the worst game every. I dont have a clue what they were thinking about - waste of money even if given away free.

    If you thing that does it worth to pay 60 bucks in a mailman simulator just go ahead. Otherwise, you better think twice. Kojima is a crazy dog and Sony forgot to tie him up.

    Jogo péssimo, você só fica andando e andando pra lá e pra cá catando lixo e não fazendo mais nada. Parece até um simulador do Correios. Não percam tempo com esse "jogo" horrível, se pode chamar isso de jogo... Pq parece mais um filme mal feito de tanta cutscenes.

    This game is a huge steaming pile of garbage. This isn't even a game, this is a movie. This "game" has too many cutscenes.

The developer who directed the cutscenes admitted he didn't fully understand his game. All I know is that you play as some pregnant man who delivers stuff to holograms.

    The gameplay is beyond horrible in this game. It doesn't even have that much gameplay. Walking in this game is such a chore. The missions are so boring and repetitive. The physics are horrendous. All you do in this game is walk, it is a walking simulator. There are motorbikes you can drive, but you have to go through so many boring hours of walking just to get that. Speaking of the motorcycle, the driving mechanics are complete garbage in this game. It is tedious to worry about the battery of the bike. There is barely any combat, not to mention that it is lazily designed.

    The open world in this game is by far the most boring garbage I ever seen. The world is empty and there is nothing to do. There is nothing worth exploring in this boring world. Most of the world is full of plants, trees, rocks, and dirt. That is so boring to explore. This game lacks so much content. It seems to me that the developers forgot that videogames are suppose to be fun. I don't know why developers these days are so obsessed with making movies. They should focus more on what makes this medium unique and that is gameplay.

    There is no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, this game will go back to the shelf and collect dust. Charging $60 for a game with no replay value is a cashgrab. The greedy developers are basically charging $60 for a movie ticket. I didn't even bother beating the story, because this walking simulator almost put me to sleep. The only good thing in this game is graphics, but the graphics sacrificed the content and the gameplay mechanics. I don't recommend this poor excuse of a game at all. This movie will eventually be free on PS Plus in the future, and I still don't think it would be worth the time to download this trash.    … Expand

    A pretty boring experience. All you do in this game is walk from point A to point B delivering packages and watching cutscenes. That's literally all you do. Don't forget to grab your pillow.

I like being able to come home from work, finish a couple deliveries, see some nice story progress and call it a day. The ease of play and the nice environments are a bonus. I also really like the asynchronous online gameplay, where the material collection is not the goal but using them to do stuff and help each other out is the goal. I like that rank based on level and other accomplishments is not the focus. It really made me look at the loot part of gameplay differently, and I found that not worrying about loot/quality of loot made me open my eyes to something new.
    I am finding that most of the criticisms people have are the reasons that I like this game.
    I guess the whole hyping, and keeping stuff mysterious led people to have crazy expectations and then they were let down.    … 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.
