    Absolutely the best creation in a long time. Everything is refined and polished to maximum. Great story and very dark world. IMPRORTANT! GAME ONLY FOR HIGHER IQ. don't play it if you like call of duty or fortnite.

    The cinematography is superb for a game I mean they really nailed the 1rs.
    Such a beautiful cast ! Del toro,Wright, nic Refn, 3 directors on 1 project just to be part of the game.
    Gameplay wise this is everything I wanted an amazing round up of micromanagement of the likes of MGS V. I’m proud of you kojima!    … Expand

Yet it fails miserably practically in all of that and also commits the worst sin of video gaming - it is not fun but just tedious chore. Where it succeeded spectacularly is being the most pretentious and overly ambitious trash in the gaming history. Also it revealed a pitiful state of professional gaming criticism and I will give it one point for that. Many professional critics gave it absurdly high score even when they pointed out the obvious flaws. Only few had a courage to say openly that the emperor has no clothes.… Expand

It's hard to explain, but it feels fantastic setting up a ladder for somebody, or picking up lost cargo, it feels like we're all in this together. Even though you're alone. And seeing the stats after going through these missions, you end up wanting to do a good job. You feel important. That's what sets this game apart from other games that has fetch quests. The cut scenes are AMAZING and inspiring also. I heard critics call this a "walking simulator" and they couldn't be more wrong. Right before this game, I was running around with an SMG in the new Call of Duty.... And I'm having way more fun in this game… Expand

    Disappointing truly. Beautiful games. The decima engine is incredible. But the bland A to B missions and awful gameplay mechanics ruin the experience. He couldn't decide to make either a film or a game.

    Few hours into the game so far and loving it. Logged into Metacritic out of curiosity to see how it's reviewing. Literally giving it a 10 since so many trolls are rating 0/10 (which no game this well-made deserves, regardless of whether it's your thing or not), obviously coming here with the intent of skewering the vote.

    Kojima really knows how to write a great and meaningful story, if you're looking for a relaxing game with a compelling story that keeps you wanting more and more every time you encounter it, check out this game. It's like a book that you just can't put down.

    The game is not for everyone.I personally enjoy the slow pace of the game,but the truth is even if the story is great (which i have to say,as far as i have played it is),someone that cannot stand the slow pace,will not give much attention because of their frustation with the game play.Also the characters backstories are not that deep if you are into that thing.

The combat is a bit shallow and too far in between and during some side missions where the world seems empty, it REALLY feels like it. There's a **** of small details, there's no way i'll probably ever see them all.

    Currently playing on a regular PS4, digital version. Haven't ran into any crashes, weird bugs, or game breaking glitches. But im sure they are there. This game is too big NOT too have them.

Conveying some mystery to the players is good but throwing a bunch of different themes without any correlation makes this game feels like a mishmash that doesn't stand on any solid ground ... from the scenery that looks nothing like America, the babies from unknown mothers used as mere tools to detect BTs, the nonexistent population of America that you are trying to "reconnect" together? The ridiculously heavy cargo on a back of a human, and why didn't they thought about using machinery for delivering (e.g drones) instead of risking rare humans in such deadly environment?

    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.
