    Incredible game. There is some issues with cars and bikes, but that is absolutely invaluable. I played on hard and after completing story, I feel just good. Story is amazing. You see how story takes the swing and every twist is valuable. I don't know what to say. If you hadn't played it yet, you definitely should.

    This game is amazing in so many ways, with lots of creative ideas and a great story. but i found that playing it became a chore and i didn't end up finishing it. I think it could do with being shorter, to be honest. But its a unique game and well worth playing.

    Superb graphics, Great story and atmosphere, super boring gameplay, didn’t have the urge to finish the game as it was unbearably boring, forced myself to finish it but said that’s enough made though half of the game.

    Death Stranding is maybe the most polarizing game of this decade, truly being a love it or hate it work of art. I'm very happy to say I surprisingly fell on the side of loving it. I've always been one to complain about slow games, micromanagements or wasted time in games but somehow Kojima made it all appealing to me. I somehow just fell in love with the gameplay.

    The story is perhaps one of my favorites of any game I've ever played at the time of writing this and I found a very surprisingly fun game between the cutscenes. There's lots of walking and struggling but the game was almost never boring for me. I thought Resi 2 Remake was going to be my game of the year for 2019 until I played this. Death Stranding is not only my GOTY but I feel like it may go down as one of my favorite games of all time. I don't feel the need to write much more because I feel like I'll remember my experience with this game for a very long time.

    Technically superb: brilliant gameplay, gorgeous graphics.

    Story beyond stupid that ruins the game. I loved MGS series to the point of being my favorite, so I’m used to Kojima’s nonsense. But this goes too far, I wish it was a little bit more focused.

    I balked at this game at first, and heard it was a "delivery simulator". While it's not a shooter, it is a 3rd person horror drama game. There is shooty action if you want it. The fetch quest based gameplay though, is... actually completely addictive and plenty challenging.

    But really the reason to play this game is the STORY and the atmosphere. The game has an incredible story, along with wonderful lore and world building. The characters are memorable, the concepts are unique. Which should come as no surprise to anyone, since Kojima games are rly just love stories, dramas, family operas, and tragedies with a backdrop of action and espionage. No one actually plays the metal gear solid games because of the gunfights or the stealth action. It's the story and characters we love. The asynchronous multiplayer is perfect for people like me are all about single player games. It adds a nice touch to the world, and it's 98% helpful. Kojima found a way to basically take the rly helpful parts of Dark Souls asynchronous multiplayer, and made it better and without the potential side effect of dealing with mean people. Finally, yes there is a baby, yes you will fall in love with it.    … Expand

    I hate this game, I am annoyed by the constant stupid commercials of Hideo Kojima Productions and I have to wait a very long time for the game to load. The impression is that I installed the game not in order to play, but in order to watch **** commercials.

    Лучшая из лучших. Не все поймут смысл и не всем понравится. Бикоз если ты дашь варфейсеру поиграть, то через час он выключит. DS для интеллектуалов, у которых айкью не ниже 120. Кодзима гений - игра шедевр.

    So original and interesting in both gameplay and story that it's something everyone has to play at least once. You might like it, you might hate it but it's undeniably refreshingly original and out of this world.

    Edit: Antes de mais nada, o review a seguir vai mostrar minhas opiniões pessoais em relação ao jogo, aqui deixo apenas o que penso a respeito do hate que esse jogo levou, mais que injustiçado. De antemão o jogo não é um jogo perfeito, mas faz a maior das coisas que se propõe certas, e com certeza foi um marco para essa geração. Não adianta reclamar da saturação do jogos que copiam os estilos e não dar pelo menos uma chance quando alguém, principalmente do porte do Kojima oferece uma novidade, é preciso ter a mente mais aberta, eu também senti a mesma coisa que a maioria das pessoas que ficaram desconfiadas quanto ao jogo, mas eu esperei poder jogar para poder opinar realmente, e o jogo me surpreendeu positivamente, então vamos ao que importa.

    Resumo
    Death Stranding é o tipo de jogo que não dá para classificar em um estilo fixo, apesar de beber de uma fonte do estilo de jogos abertos, é inegável que até o momento (2021) ele é um jogo único, e que merece os seus méritos por pelo menos pensar fora da caixinha, o jogo vai agradar muita gente que achou que seria monótono, eu era um, mas as mecânicas que foram empregadas aqui influenciam e muito, e a diversão no meu ponto de vista foi nas possibilidades que o jogo te dá, junto com os recursos, depois de entender suas mecânicas, cada pessoa vai criar os seus "nós" do jeito que acha que deve com o jogo.

    PONTOS POSITIVOS

    - O que realmente brilhou aqui é a história, aqui temos toda a doidera de Hideo Kojima, mas que fez desse mundo algo rico com personagens memoráveis, que começa com o protagonista, e vai até parte de seus NPCs que encontramos, o enredo é rico, cheio de reviravoltas justificáveis, tudo nessa narrativa me leva a crer que Death Stranding seria um excelente série da HBO fácil fácil.

    - A mecânica social de Death Stranding é algo que realmente me surpreendeu, os elos socias das estruturas que o jogo possui, me fez, uma pessoa que odeia multiplayer, querer estar mais lincado com pessoas que jogam o game

    - Death Stranding é um jogo que tem bastante coisa para fazer, de forma errada se fala que é um jogo com missões de ir do ponto A, para o ponto B, mas o que você pode fazer para facilitar suas missões é algo que me prendeu realmente nesse Jogo;

    - Os gráficos desse jogos estão muito bem feitos, é fácil ficar preso olhando para os cenários do Título, eles tem uma beleza peculiar que faz o jogo ser relaxante, ao mesmo tempo que se percorre a sua história

    - Por ultimo, a trilha sonora do Jogo é memorável, e merece um tópico exclusivo por aqui.

    PONTOS NEGATIVOS

    - A Física de alguns veículos são completamente frustrantes em alguns casos, quase todos os equipamentos de Sam são aprimoráveis de forma a se tornarem as entregas mais fáceis durante a progressão do jogo, mas os veículos as vezes são totalmente sem resposta, alguns exemplos são um rocha mínima é capaz de fazer o veículo travar, outra é que até a ré parece que tem um delay enorme no jogo para entender que é para o veículo andar para trás, ao meu ver os aprimoramentos dos veículos poderiam incluir o aumento da tração dos mesmos, tenho certeza que não iria influenciar na proposta do jogo;

    - Sem dúvidas o jogo tem uma histórica que beira o inpecável, mas no terceiro ato do game, senti que ficou arrastado algumas partes que já davam para ser entendidas sem uma cutscene de 2 **** horas, adicional a isso a parte chata é que uma parte legal da história está em entrevistas, e eu até entendo que tem coisas que simplesmente não da para jogar diretamente na história, mas particularmente em um jogo que tem potencial para se ter mais de 100 horas de jogo, sou a favor das coisas serem mais simplificadas;

    - A mecânica de gerenciamento de carga poderia ser mais otimizada, as vezes para fazer uma ação eu tive que percorrer 3 itens do menu, acho que se a proposta do jogo gira em torno disso, poderia se encurtar as escolhas nesses menus, um exemplo disso é que não da para pegar uma carga do chão e colocar diretamente no veículo que vc está usando, vc tem que colocar na suas costas abrir o menu de cargas, e se o veículo estiver bem próximo é que se pode fazer essa transferência, no inicio nem da para reclamar, mas depois de 50 horas de jogo fica massante.

    Em suma, Death Stranding pode não ter sido o que todo mundo esperava, mas me deu algo novo para entender que se eu quero algo novo eu tenho que estar disposto a experimentar algo novo, não to dizendo aqui que você é obrigado a gostar do Título, mas que uma atitude foi tomada, e posso concordar que vai ser um entretenimento divertido para todo mundo, mas sou a favor de incentivar essas ideias, Hideo Kojima saiu vitorioso no meu conceito entregando um marco, divisivo, mas ainda assim, um marco.

    História: 9,0
    Gameplay: 8.5

    This game is very controversial. Some mechanics and parts of story are very strange, but it changed me. Hideo is a crazy genius. I'm happy to see guys like Hideo or Naughty Dog creating great stories, not games. I like games like Death Stranding, it makes you think, unlike assassin's creed, call of duty, or spiderman. It's not a game for everyone, it's a game for the elite.

It is really going from point A to point B going trough a difficult terrain and avoiding enemies which are pretty dumb and easy to cope with. The story is weird, like really weird.

    The game is absolutely not interesting. Locations look the same, npc’s movements look the same, dialogues are boring and senseless, the world is empty. All quests are super boring - go there, deliver something. Game mechanics is not anything genius, just few scripted moves. Spend more than 30 hours in game, stuck in the 3rd chapter and deleted it.

    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.
