Its mechanics are horrible and its Gameplay is unplayable Norman Reedus seems drunk the whole game because of the way he walks (and I have no doubt that I would be if I had to film or do all that nonsense in front of a camera) the story is not bad but it is not good either, it seems more like shooting scriptwriters running after a check and copying how much nonsense Kojima released through his mouth, than a thought-out and structured script, I was a fan of Kojima but now I understand that Konami was right and that someone explain to me that It has happened with the press release, it has been given a note that is not consistent with reality or they have not played it or I don't know, but the note is not really that from the beginning, I hope this is worth so that nobody thinks about buying This is my advice to hope that this game is PS + meat and it has cost me a lot to upload this to metacritic, I have closed my session 3 times and I hope this explanation makes you see that it is not review bombing that I know they are going to come out there and if you don't believe me playing the game there is no better teacher than pain.… Expand

Cinematicas interminables, a ratos invasivas que no dejan a Norman Reedus ni mear tranquilo y eso que es una de las pocas acciones donde cogeremos el mando. Puedes dejar el DualShock encima de la mesa que el juego va avanzando solo. Las fisicas son horribles, la jugabilidad mala y los bosses que aparecen dan risa, el mundo abierto es un pasto verde sin ninguna ambientación, lleno de piedras y agua, ninguna estructura, ningún ser vivo, ninguna planta ni ninguna forma de vida más allá de los BT (entes que aparecen en el juego y que forman grupos de 3 ó 4 personajes que intentaran quitarte la carga) sin embargos estos los liquidarás simplemente pulsando reiteradamente un solo botón en el mando. En cuando a la misión principal del juego y el cometido de Sam (el nuestro) es andar y ENTREGAR PAQUETES, tambien puedes optar por usar la moto, pero funciona peor que en Scite Bike, es lenta y con cualquier piedrecita se atasca.

    The game IS pretty but looks nothing like the US and the animations seem... Odd. A more accurate title for the game would be "Inventory Manager: UPS post-apocolypse" but that likely wouldnt sell as many units    … Expand

    This game is bad. It's tedious, boring and filled with bad writing. It is basically a packet delivery walking simulator. That's it. You deliver packets. Pick up packets and deliver them. Boring and tedious. Like a annoying job. From beginning to end. Hour after hour. There's nothing interesting in the game world. It's empty.

    What about the story? You can read here some people claiming    This game is bad. It's tedious, boring and filled with bad writing. It is basically a packet delivery walking simulator. That's it. You deliver packets. Pick up packets and deliver them. Boring and tedious. Like a annoying job. From beginning to end. Hour after hour. There's nothing interesting in the game world. It's empty.

    What about the story? You can read here some people claiming that it's profound, intelligent, a brilliant masterpiece, etc. That if you don't see how genius it is, you're not smart enough. I have to only assume, that the people who claim something this ridiculous are totally blinded by the hype and/or actually not that smart themselves, because nobody who has reached the age of reason and gotten critical thinking skills will find the story profound, intelligent or brilliant. In reality it's just pretentious nonsense and silly religious mumbo jumbo. And all that is delivered through cringy dialogue. Oh and the cut scenes, which are basically just collection of endlessly talking heads, take something like 9 hours. So on top of tedious gameplay, you have to endure 9 hours of cringy writing.

    The only reason this game has gotten high scores, is because of the name Kojima. Had this game been exactly the same, but made by some unknown developer, the reviews would have trashed it. But because Kojima is worshipped as a god, it gets a pass and then some. If Kojima pooped on a silver plate, served it to the fanboys and let them review it, here's what they would say: "A manifestation of heaven, the embodiment of beauty combined with technical perfection. A meal you shouldn't miss. 10/10 - DELICIOUS!"

    Walking simulator 2019. You can't just make a game like a movie. Wherever I go, there's a cutscene or else, just walking. Graphics are decent but there's no action at all. And boss fights are like throwing grenades only. So it's not a kind of game for those who like action and adventure games

    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.
