    Многие обзорщик это окрестили симулятором ходьбы и бу бу бу 20ч ходьбы до сюжета это ни разу не правда и для меня было удивление что доставлять грузу довольно интересная задача. Есть конечно еще те индивиды которые упорно говорят что сюжет сложный и поэтому игра помойка, ну в принципе таким как они место на помойке) В итоге это лучшая игра за 2019 точно в которые реально приятно поигратьМногие обзорщик это окрестили симулятором ходьбы и бу бу бу 20ч ходьбы до сюжета это ни разу не правда и для меня было удивление что доставлять грузу довольно интересная задача.

    This game, Is by far, the most interesting game I have played in a long time. All games shouldn't be about who can kill the most or nonstop insane action, and anyone who has ever played on of Kojima's games, know he tells a story and makes a game around that, the exception being MGS5, greatest game never finished. I found myself wanting to complete every area fully before I would move one,This game, Is by far, the most interesting game I have played in a long time. All games shouldn't be about who can kill the most or nonstop insane action, and anyone who has ever played on of Kojima's games, know he tells a story and makes a game around that, the exception being MGS5, greatest game never finished. I found myself wanting to complete every area fully before I would move one, I wanted to explore this world his team made. I loved how the game slowly explained this crazy world you found yourself in, yet treated your character like he knew the info, because he already has been living there, making you put together what everything was little by little. Is this game for everyone? Not at all, But for gamers who like to lose themselves every now and again in a story that would make an amazing novel, or visuals that would even make an exciting and dramatic movie, then you have to try it , and see how the Death Stranding can connect us all.

    Este jogo é o que promete, sinto muito por aqueles que esperavam um novo "metal gear", mas a promessa não foi essa.
    Comprei em pré e não me arrependo em nada.
    Estou muito feliz com o jogo.

Эта игра представляет собой те 5% игр которые делают ради творчества и развития игровой индустрии, а не для того чтобы нажиться на игроках. В игре прекрасно все, актерская игра выше всяких похвал, графическая составляющая для заката поколения консолей просто идеальна, минимальное количество технических проблем на релизе (Да, сейчас это важно, вспомните все ААА проекты вышедшие в этом году). Сюжет который действительно можно назвать сюжетом, игра в которую хочется вернуться, отдельное слово можно сказать о шедеврально подобранном саундтреке. Поколению фортнайт и майнкрафта не понять этого.

    What about death stranding? This is one of those not many projects in our time that are made with the soul and full dedication of consumers for us. This game represents those 5% of games that are made for the sake of creativity and development of the gaming industry, and not in order to profit from the players. Everything is perfect in the game, the acting is beyond praise, the graphic component for the sunset generation of consoles is just perfect, the minimum number of technical problems on the release (Yes, now it is important, remember all AAA projects released this year). A plot that really can be called a plot, a game you want to return to, a separate word can be said about a masterfully selected soundtrack. The generation of Fortnight and Minecraft do not understand this.

    Death Stranding is one of the most "Hideo Kojima" games ever created. It mixes all the strange and weird found in the MGS franchise with deep and elaborate hiking/traversing mechanics.

    The world has suffered the "Death Stranding", a worldwide event that caused the rules of life and death to no longer apply. The result? The souls of the dead now roam the realm of the living, voidouts
    Death Stranding is one of the most "Hideo Kojima" games ever created. It mixes all the strange and weird found in the MGS franchise with deep and elaborate hiking/traversing mechanics.

    The world has suffered the "Death Stranding", a worldwide event that caused the rules of life and death to no longer apply. The result? The souls of the dead now roam the realm of the living, voidouts (huge explosions that cause craters) happening when BTs (creatures from the realm of the dead, BT stands for Beached Thing) get in contact with live humans, rain called "timefall" that basically rapidly ages anything it comes in contact with and humanity just giving up on all hope and living in underground bunkers.

    However, a company called BRIDGES aims to revert this catastrophe by installing key structures all over the USA, these structures would allow americans to reconstruct what was lost one day at a time by using a very advanced 3D printing technique. The thing is, when these structures were being created, the key item for linking all stations was still in development. This is your job in Death Stranding, unite America by linking all stations with the "Qpid" (the key to connect stations).

    The game loop basically consists of you (Sam Porter Bridges) carrying deliveries in different quantities and sizes from point A to point B, but it is not easy, the terrain is the most difficult enemy in the game, with big mountains, cliffs, rocky terrain that make any kind of vehicle basically useless. Cargo is fragile so you need to take good care of it as badly damaged cargo may result in a GAME OVER or a bad review from the recipient. Not to mention the enemies you may encounter, we have MULEs (porters who basically went mad), Terrorists (these guys do not like the idea of a unified America, and will do what they can to stop you) and BTs (the supernatural ghosts)

    You will be very lonely in Death Stranding, but that is part of the experience, you really feel like the future of American depends on your efforts only, it felt amazing to me how Sam is so fragile, he can slip on slippery terrain and won't be able to carry a lot of weight without mechanical help, even a river is sometimes very dangerous for him. You see his suffering, he is a normal human fighting against all odd, even supernatural ones, and when you finally reach your destination, you feel like you made the difference.

    Death Stranding may not be for everyone though, you will be walking quite a bit on very tough terrain and enemies will always try to make your life harder, but for those looking for something different, something that makes you think and feel an unique experience (believe me, the feeling of getting something to someone who needs that against all odds is a very interesting one) will find DS to be one of the best games released this year.

    I love it. I reached Chapter 3 and it's so amazing. I love to deliver more and more to receive more items and more Gifts. The People who gave this Game a 0 are Xbox Players or trolls and there are saying there already beat the Game. Yeah. A Game you have to play over 50 Hours to complete it.

    Awesome game and one of unique that I've ever played!
    Inside of game you will found many many mechanics like road connection i would and help another couriers to their deliver cargos, vehicles, weapons, crafting system and many others great things. Sometimes game like immersive sim another time it's like horror or third person shooter. Thanks to Kojima Productions for the great experience.

    Особисто я поставив би грі 9 балів з 10 але накину ще 1 за реально неадекватні оцінки від гравців які в гру, мабуть і не грали.
    Гра затягує. В неї хочеться зайти. Навіть просто подивитись хто що побудував за час твоєї відсутності.
    Гра дарує емоції а це дуже важливо. Сюжет - це окрема історія, адже він настільки лихо закручений що голова йде обертом. Гра яка однозначно варта уваги і гра

Seja você Caixista ou Sonysta de uma chance para o jogo não vá pelas reviews ou notas, Days Gone foi um grande exemplo disso, nota baixa, mas também é um ótimo jogo, não crie expectativa nem fique recioso de compra-lo assim como fiquei, de uma chance e aproveite essa master piece!!

    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. [Issue#299]

    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.
