    Hmmm...sorry Mr. Kojima this game is boring and story is not deep and engaging like Metal Gear Solid is my favorite games beacuse Snake ,pure history, character, long dialogs that matter. This game for the industry has nothing revolutionary about it. 0/10

    The game is terrible, how can people play this thing. Most boring game ever made you just walk and deliver stuff. If you like this you're not even a gamer.

    Why does this movie have gameplay? What a strange thing. Kojima as always has been putting his name everywhere with an overrated videogame

    A boring video game. If you press and hold L + R throughout the game you will have no problems. You can escape from bosses so they don't represent a problem either. The world is empty, only the construction of the other players gives life to the scenarios but in turn removes all the elements of difficulty that it could have.

    В это нельзя играть, такой скучной и немного тупой игры я ещё не видел, создатели наверное думали что они просто невероятно крутые и нужно повторять по 10 раз одно и тоже вместо того что говорить про СЮЖЕТ, графика красивая, но геймплея просто нет, менеджмент ресурсов отбивает желание играть вообще.В это нельзя играть, такой скучной и немного тупой игры я ещё не видел, создатели наверное думали что они просто невероятно крутые и нужно повторять по 10 раз одно и тоже вместо того что говорить про СЮЖЕТ, графика красивая, но геймплея просто нет, менеджмент ресурсов отбивает желание играть вообще.

    I think this is the game that finally killed the Kojima hype.

When Kojima was left to his own devices, we got Death Stranding, an actual walking simulator with a story that tries to be pretentious but doesn't even succeed at that. Kojima actually thinking that the reason his game is getting poor reviews is because his game is too complicated for Americans, when his game is literally about America, was the final coffin in his career. He will probably go and try to make movies now.… Expand

    It is less of a game and more of a mental chore. The janky driving mechanics and weight carrying system makes the game frustrating. To top it all off the sense of the grim and mysterious environment leads to nothing as the story seems half baked. Only thing going for it is the graphics and soundtrack.

    I played the original game on PS4. Easily one of the worst games I've ever played for 8th Generation consoles and among the worst I've played in general. The story is absolutely horrible and impossible to follow, a problem shared with Metal Gear Solid 2, another Kojima product I don't like.

    Is a very monotonous game, it has great music and world detail, but no more. The story is compelling but not enough to compensate for the immense boredom

    No le veo la gracia a este juego por ninguna parte. Sin ninguna duda yo me compraría la play por un the last of us o por un god o war, pero por un juego así de aburrido en mi vida y además lento y cansino.

    When your mechanics hinge on something as mundane as walking, the most exciting part of your game is building a road, and you boast a melodramatic story of nonsensical characters you have Death Stranding and you have a boring game.

    Kojima is a complete hack, they were right in firing him. I bought the PS4 Pro bundle with Death Stranding thinking this was gonna be a masterpiece, what a disappointment! At least the PS4 pro looks good, but I wish I could remove the death stranding logo from the front part.

    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.
