    É difícil entender o que se passa na cabeça do grande gênio ''Hideo Kojima'', por isso muitos odiaram esse jogo, mas para eu foi uma experiência inovadora e extremamente diferente do que já vi em toda minha vida.

I took my time finishing the game, starting it in November 2019 and wrapped it up in August 2020. In a way, I went & played when I needed to feel better about our broken world.


    The game will test your patience and the first two episodes are the longest and hardest but then it rewards you as you build the world, it shows others like you and let you share the work via the connections you build. A story about anger, revenge, hope, love and life, portrayed beautifully through amazing voice acting, outstanding visuals and stellar music.


    If you feel the world of us is broken and you feel alone, play Death Stranding, you will love it so much.    … Expand

    THIS GAME IS BORING AS HELL ... You will hate the game at most if it's starting to rain or you crossing a GD terrain.

HUD, Map, World, Inventory is completely overloaded with garbage from other players, too much text and pop up's. The story could be good in a TV-series, nothing more. Hideo is too convinced of himself. My advice, save your money and watch a walkthrough instead, believe me, you want to regret it. Worst PS-exclusive so far!… Expand

    You want to know why Kojima is called a genius? That's because he managed to make walking fun and gave it so much depth that you will be confused. Beautiful, meaningful and relaxing game created with so much love that it's shocking on all levels.
    Don't buy if you need stealth.
    Don't buy if you want to shoot.
    Buy if you like puzzles.
    Buy if you want to be shocked.
    Buy if you want to cry.

    Recently played this game over at my bro's place and was mighty impressed. Ended up getting a copy for myself and my best buddy. Now' i'm looking forward to his impressions. Can't thank my brother enough for showing me this gem. Gonna hold onto this for as long as I can remember it—a soon-to-be classic.

    Bought the PS4 version first and loved it so much I got the PC port as well.
    Kojima Productions gained a new fan and that's a feat. To me, this game is definitely the best title for PS4 and is a must-have!

    Death stranding is a super game. It has a wonderful plot, each order becomes a small switch. Of course, at the beginning the game is so-so, but after a while when weapons and new buildings are opened it becomes one of the best games.

    Awesome game, very unique cast , actors did an amazing job though I wish there was more variety to game play at times the game can become a bit stale .. but overall the game is pretty decent .. no bugs , nothing like that .. the game starts to get pretty interesting once you get all your weapons and upgrades .. give a shot you may like it

Let it be "2001: space Oddysey" of Stanley Kubrik or "Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh, people at first expressed rejection towards these works of art. But as time passed, people recognized them as classics of their scope. And this game is exactly that, an experience that trascends the screen. It can be frustating at times, and yes various quality of life changes can be made to make the experience more enjoyable. But, right now, Death Stranding sits in my collection as one of my proudest platinums. I am extremely glad that i got to play and experience this game by myself, but I´m not sure if I want to play again any time soon. DS is like a Mountain you gotta climb, but after you do climb it, you just wanna look back at your achievement and let it rest on your memory. In conclusion, If you have the chance to buy this game, please do, at first it may an overwhelming experince, but once you climb this ferocious mountain you be will left with nothing but satisfaction, and gratitude.… Expand

    I don't know starting from when, the celebrity effect became a thing for games. I thought it was gonna be a super cool game with The Walking Dead character and an alien-like background. It turns out to be a super boring game I gave absolutely ZERO **** about. **** THIS GAME, ENOUGH SAID.

    De verdad puedo entender porque a mucha gente no le gusta, las primeras 4 o 5 horas son mas que nada cinemáticas y muy poco gameplay, sin embargo después de pasar eso para mi el juego se vuelve interesante y adictivo, literalmente eres un repartidor que tiene que reconectar el mundo con sus entregas en diferentes estaciones del mapa. Como ya dije a mucha gente no le gusta porque se esta acostumbrado a tener acción sin parar, balaceras, matanzas, etc, bueno pues si buscas eso este juego no es el caso, es mas, ni siquiera tienes como hacerle frente a los enemigos que aparecen por el camino, careces de armas y recursos para defenderte, en la mayoría de lo casos, si no es que en todos, tienes que usar el sigilo para pasar por la zona, si prefieres el sigilo en juegos que te ofrecen la opción de enfrentar a los enemigos o pasar desapercibido, si te gusta administrar recursos, si te gusta explorar, si te gusta recolectar cosas, si eres de esos que después de terminar un juego o durante la historia te gusta recorrer el mapa recolectando cosas, haciendo cosas secundarias, etc, te va a gustar, si prefieres la acción desenfrenada, olvídalo no lo compres. Otra cosa que me gustó fue la interacción con otros jugadores, si bien no es un juego en linea me parece excelente todo los que los demás hacen por ti o tu haces por ellos en tu mundo

    Le pongo 9 porque hay ciertos aspectos que no me gustaron de la jugabilidad y se podían mejorar, como el paso por terrenos difíciles en transporte o caminando o el escalar montañas, a veces es frustrante tratar de pasar por esos terrenos tratando de acortar camino , la armas que se proporcionan aunque no son letales me parecen curiosas y novedosas, sin embargo creo que se debió de ampliar la variedad de ellas y poner una letal mas pronto en el juego, ya que a veces las mulas son innevitables. Otra cosa que no me gusto fue el principio como dije antes, es muy lento, pierden mucho tiempo tratándote de explicar a detalle la historia y los acontecimientos que llevaron al mundo a esa situación, pudo haber sido mas corto.

    En conclusión es un buen juego para cierto sector, como en todo hay gustos, es un juego complicado sobretodo de entender, pero ya que le agarras el gusto no hay vuelta atrás, te sigues. Si vas a probarlo no vayas con la mentalidad de que eres un uber eats, déjate llevar y disfruta de los caminos y los enemigos, administrando tus cargas, analizando rutas y ayudando a otros jugadores, a estas alturas ya lo puedes encontrar a un precio mas accesible.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es un videojuego distinto a lo que usualmente uno acostumbra ver, la historia es innovadora e interesante. Sin embargo, puede considerarse muy larga y no es hasta el último tercio del juego que se entiende con claridad de qué se trata la historia. La jugabilidad es entretenida, pero lo principal que debes hacer es efectuar deliveries, lo que lo torna un tanto aburrido después de jugarlo unas horas. A pesar de ello, los gráficos y cinemáticas están muy bien hechas, lo que es fiel al estilo de Hideo Kojima como director de videojuegos. Recomiendo jugarlo, pero hazte el tiempo, ya que es bastante largo.… Expand

But other than that it's just a overall bad game. In its effort to be innovative it just failed miserably and if you're one of the rare people who loved this game then good for you. I'm genuinely glad you liked the game. I wouldn't be as angry at this game but I was one of the people who bought this at full price. And it was not worth it. The only reason the game's user review score isn't bad is because people don't really care about this game. Can't blame them.

    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.
