    Прошел на ютубе, а че бомбить? я говорил что геймплей мне такой не заходит, сюжет норм рассказали, даже разжевали все. Косте, конечно же понравилась. Ему все такие "шедевры" нравятся.

    Premetto che non sono mai stato un fan di Kojima, non ho mai giocato un Metal Gear in tutta la mia vita e non me ne frega niente della sua presunta genialità.

    Fatta questa premessa potete star certi che ho guardato a questo gioco con assoluta imparzialità e privo di pregiudizi.

    La grande colpa di questo gioco è il fatto di non essere un action, molti lo giudicano come se solo un action potesse essere un buon gioco.

    Ciò vuol dire che chi l'ha valutato 0 è in malafede? Questo gioco non può essere rappresentato da uno 0? Tutt'altro. Questo gioco merita tutti gli 0 che ha ricevuto come tutti i 10 con cui è stato valutato.

    Questo perché fallisce quando si tratta di intrattenere una fascia di pubblico che fa della sfida, dell'azione e dell'immediatezza la priorità assoluta; mentre risulta perfettamente confezionato per chi può prendersi il tempo di godersi un viaggio, apprezzare il lato artistico, tuffarsi in un gameplay più intimo e meticoloso.

    Questo potrebbe essere il perfetto gioco di Schrödinger: vale sia 0 che 10, finché non lo provi e decidi effettivamente se è un gioco che fa per te oppure no.

    Era inevitabile che si creassero due fazioni, sarebbe bello che entrambi gli schieramenti riuscissero ad accettarsi ed a comprendere le rispettive motivazioni.    … Expand

    Superb.

    Requires your total dedication, and anything less will leave you not knowing what you're giving up on, and possibly having a negative view.

    Definitely not for the stupid because it's mentally demanding.

    The game itself is quite fun, don't believe people saying it has no gameplay. However, it suffers from overly complicated menus and UI in many parts of the game. Monotonous, repetitive, and slow gameplay at times makes the game a chore to work through. Some tweaks and polish could've turned this frustrating mediocre game into a masterpiece.

    Don't get me wrong, the music, environments, and (movie length) cutscenes are great, even outstanding at times. The story is strange and may be hard to follow, but it's the reason to play this game through. If you go in without expecting something perfect, you'll be much less disappointed with this flawed gem.    … Expand

La parte argumental puede llegar a interesar pero avanza a trompicones mientras debemos llevar a cabo misiones monotonas y repetitivas, logrando que jugar a veces sea una "tortura" que debemos pasar para avanzar en la historia que, según mi opinión, aunque puede tener algun giro interesante acaba siendo algo pretenciosa y con algun que otro cliché cinematográfico que desluce el conjunto. Yo al llegar al fnal del juego ya había perdido el interés y solo jugaba para terminar el juego.
    La jugabilidad lo peor. Los escenarios y su apartado artístico son preciosos y da gusto pasearse en ellos, hasta puede llegar a ser divertido estudiar como sortear cada accidente geográfico sin dañar la carga... Pero no hay nada mas, mundo inerte y vacío donde todas las misiones (principales y secundarias) tienen el mismo objetivo: Llevar una carga de un punto A a uno B. Un desproposito, otra vez, por parte de Kojima crear y brindarnos un basto mundo preciocista sin practicamente nada que hacer dentro de él... No hay ningun aliciente a la exploración mas allá de los chips de memoria, que nos aportan información extra, pero la gran mayoría de ella intrascendente (info sobre merchandasing de otros videojuegos y mecas, recomendación de films y bandas sonoras por parte de Kojima, info sobre modelos de motos del mercado en la vida real...) Por no haber no hay ni un ápice de fauna, parece que con el declive de la escena introductoria se extingue toda. En la misma linea, no tratamos en todonel juego con un NPC que no sea un holograma y no podemos entrar en las ciudades a ver como se desarrolla la vida post-apocalíptica. En relación a su argumento y vacíos argumentales hay que hacer un acto de fer para "aceptar" todas las incongruencias y vacíos argumentales con la esperanza de que al final se nos desbelará el porqué de todo (ciertas preguntas hallan respuesta y otras no)... Pero si queremos profundizar en ella no nos quedará mas remedio que leer parrafos y parrafos de teorías pseudociéntificas entremezcladas con bases profundamente teológicas.

    Resumen: Técnica y artísticamente espléndido, argumentalmente interesante pero confuso, hace falta una mente muy abierta y aceptar concesiones.... Jugablemente aburrido y un desproposito, llega a ser interseante plantearse rutas y como avanzar por el terreno, pero TODO el juego se basa en las mismas misiones. El combate tosco, incomodo y su inclusión anecdótica,

    A great game for Kojima fans but not for the casual gamer. If you're into story-driven games go for it but if you mainly play call of duty and madden stay away!

The story is extremely interesting but at the same time a little vague and incoherent. The gameplay is just OK: the walking/ driving mechanics seem unfinished and feel like a ps2 game but after a pretty steep learning curve you’ll get used to it. The combat isn't very fun and at times I wished it wasn't even a part of the game. Despite my criticism, I spent a lot of hours on this game and don't regret it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Death Stranding took me about 6 months to finish - not because of massive content but because it is so boring to play and feels like work. The graphics and the motion capturing are awesome - however you might ask yourself why USA now looks like Iceland. The basic plot idea about GD, BB, etc. is great and refreshing - however the story Hideo built from it is just not good. At multiple points in the game it spoils you that Amelie and Bridget are the same person, that Amelie is causing GDs to appear and that Clifford is Sam's dad. After you defeated Higgs it takes another 4 hours to finish the game - and there is no story in it. It's just used to stretch the game to at least 30 hours playtime. For example after you killed Higgs Fragile teleports everyone back except YOU - the only person who can stop Amelie and thus is important for humankind. So you have to walk all the way back to the beginning of the game. Why? Ask Hideo. There's just no logical reason to it. The gameplay is so repeating. If you start the game now, install all patches first so you can skip these damn animations of Sam getting in cars, Sam delivering crates, Sam looking at boring holograms, Sam looking at delivery drones walking away, Sam looking at bikes being delivered from your garage, Sam doing this, Sam doing that, ... It just makes you angry when you have to watch them over and over again. Oh and don't forget to get a cover for your X button - you will smash it so many times to go through all of the UIs to accept or finish a delivery. Death Stranding could have been a masterpiece - the gameplay and the story prevents that. So it's just a mediocre game you will play once, then deinstall and forget about.… Expand

    Oddly I find the game addicting. But I know it doesn’t seem to be all that intriguing when you’re trying to explain the game’s concept to someone. To be honest, it sounds boring; being a delivery man. But I’ve played it through twice now and I can’t get enough!

I have never played any Kojima games and this was my first and I honestly loved it.. though the idea is pretty simple that he’s a delivery porter,connecting the cities was the amazing part... I personally loved it and I cried at the end when we get to know that he too was a BB at one point... I would love to see what more content Kojima would add to this game and I loved the concept... good going Kojima!!… 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.
