    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game made to be a movie, how can a game that everyone said would be so fanatic to have such a boring game play, the experts said it was a masterpiece, but not a lie! I hope for games with the quality of God of war and not this cinematic deception!… Expand

    Played for 10 hours. The task was too complicated and complicated. There weren’t too many changes. The battle was also very monotonous. The delivery process was too long and affected the game rhythm

    This isn't MGS and you need to go in realising that. This is something new and something groundbreaking. You feel isolated, alone, scared but also there's a sense of togetherness, hope and happiness.

    I wanted to love this game but unfortunately this is the most boring game I ever played . I did get it at GameStop so thank God I can return it. For those who love this game please seek help.

    This is a fascinating game. The opening is emaculet and the world is a marvel to behold. The gameplay is unconventional, yes but intentionally this way. Sam is no Nathan Drake, or Lara.

If you are the kind of person who loves to get lost in all kinds of thoughts when you're walking down a lonely path, If you love travelling for the sake of travelling this game is undoubtedly for you. It's definitely a masterpiece that I'm sure will become a classic many years from now.… Expand

    will set real score after playing. Right now it is just fix for 0 bombers who probably didn't play ( probably yes - but 0? 0 means it is unplayable permanent bug without music and sound and has terrible graphics).

    Скучно и долго. Все механики не работают как надо, гаджеты и машины не нужны от слова совсем. Открытый мир - обман, тут просто много коридоров разделённых непроходимыми горами.

    Ah the review bombers are here. I bought the most expensive edition digitally and so far I'm getting my moneys worth of it. I didn't have very high expectations for the game so maybe that's why I'm enjoying it so much. The horror/creep factor is indeed there and it's a interesting setting. Hoping the story is as good as the atmosphere.

    This is my early impressions of the game. The graphics are top notch and the UI is great, the game play could be better(Heard its all about making deliveries, which I won't mind but some people might) but something more interesting could of been there to keep players entertained. Haven't encountered my first fight yet so can't talk on that. Same with the multiplayer part which is what I'm most interested in. After all that said, the game is actually good for what it's trying to be and I think he accomplished that.    … Expand

    Loving this game so much! Very fresh and original. Been waiting a long time for something new to come along. I understand it’s not for the typical gamer who wants to gun things down. But it’s certainly for gamers who want to experience something unique that the industry is afraid to make.

    The game is absolutely beautiful with an incredible, if slightly pretentious story. It amazes me that so many gave this a 0, even with some of its problems. Yes, the controls aren’t intuitive and the gameplay isn’t a nonstop power trip like in other games, but the gameplay works (as far as I’ve played at least) very well to give you a sense of powerlessness in the huge open world.

Is it a 10? No. But is it truly a good game with a massive amount of polish and work into it, worth at least a 7 or 8? Absolutely, and even if it isn’t FOR everyone, does that mean that those people should get to say that the game is bad in general? I don’t think so, and I hope more people at least give it a fair amount of time before slamming the game with 1s or 0s.… Expand

    The game is unique. It blurs the lines between the stereotyped genres. Kojima San definitely pushed the envelope of what a stereotypical image of game is - through this game.
    Don't be influenced by IGN and Gamespot ratings, they're just filled with hopeless SJWs who don't seek the value of story-telling or gameplay, they're just looking for a political angle in every game.

    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.
