    Ótimo games bem original e com mecânicas bem inovadoras algo diferente de tudo que eu já vi gráficos impecáveis e ótima atuação da parte dos atores

    Masterpiece. Just not for people who are 12 or dumb adults who listen to Maroon 5 while playing Call of Duty.

    Melhor jogo da geração, inovador em vários aspectos, me arisco a dizer até revolucionário.
    É sim um Walking Simulator mas não só isso, andar é apenas UMA das coisas que esse jogo faz, e vale dizer que faz muito bem feito. Masterpiece.

    Если коротко, по геймплею игра не самая шикарная. Как-то практически все одинаково. Сюжет шедевральный, стоит пройти до конца. Управление и интерфейс удобны, игра здесь заставляет думать, расчитывать все наперёд и т.п.(но боёвка говно). Атмосфера здесь реально отличается от очень многих игр. Ты прямо чувствуешь ее всегда.

    Местами спорное, но невероятно затягивающее сюжетное приключение. Великолепно проработанный мир со своим лором, до мурашек пробирающий саундтрек и неплохая графическая часть - всё на высшем уровне.

Но, несмотря на всё вышесказанное, эксперимент Кодзимы я лично считаю удавшимся. Death Stranding - однозначно лучшее, во что я играл на PS4. Expand

    Ignore these 0 ratings guys it's a troll of alot of IGN and Konami employees here with the 0 rate score you don't need to be a Kojima fan to see this game is great (if you actually have play it) if my local neighbor had made this game he would have get the same 10/10 score.

    So now since I've finished the game I want to say that those people who are saying that this game is boring or it's garbage or not any good — are just complete brain-damaged retards. Those are fifa, cod and data players. Don't let those morons fool you.

    at first i found this game boring with all the deliveries to make, to go from point A to point B rince and repeat.
    But after finishing the game, i get why the progression had to be this way. I'm on my 2nd playthrough and this game possibilities becomes more and more infinite.
    This game is awesome, what i was expecting from the Metal Gear Saga creator.

    This game is an absolute 10/10. In the end, this game is just what it pretends to be. Graphics are breathtaking. The gameplay is unique, and, against what the most may think, it resulted extremely entertaining for me. I just felt like I was playing something that I hadn't played ever before. The story is stunning, and at certain point on it you just can't stop playing.

    Kojima delivers in every way imaginable in his first game by him and his new studio Kojima Productions, whilst you may think delivering packages isn't fun it strangely is, as well as being very addictive. The story really ramps up towards the second half and everything in concluded rather well. Please don't listen to the negative reviews, play the game then judge it for yourself.

    I find the game play fun and addicting. Just a wonderful world to be in and the story is done so good. I have been dreaming about the game when I go to sleep, and before this game I can't remember the last time I had a dream.

    A warning: this game is an exceptional piece of digital art, but it's not for everyone. Here are some of the things you should probably be a fan of, if you're planning to get Death Stranding:

    - A rich, plot heavy story - An original setting that meshes sci-fi and lovecraftian horror - A gameplay that's not heavily combat focused; that rewards patience and planning ahead; that focuses

    More interactive world experience than a game. I can see why opinions are so split but I loved my time in the world. It can be slow at times but even then the camera will pull back and an amazing soundtrack will begin playing so you can just relax between the more tense sections. Maybe not an overall 10 but definitely not the 0s people are trying to give.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What its like to be an USPS delivery guy in an apocalypse essentially. I see a lot of people saying its boring. I also see those reviews saying there is a lot walking. My response is "I'm like why are u walking?" People with those reviews obviously didn't play the game. I've played more than 3 months and poured more than 1000+ hours and I'm still stuck in the central region trying to get 5 stars on all the shelters. I strive for perfection and this game sometimes rewards you for that with cool custom gadgets. My favorite gadget or equipment right now is zip lining. I have connected all shelters in the east region and nearly all in the central region. I can make record time on all deliveries except those with massive amount of cargo. Even so, i can still make 2 trips and still make record time. I regret building all the roads, only some needs to be built for convenience reasons. And i also see those complaining about the combat mechanics. I g2 say this game is really easy even on hard difficulty and very forgiving. In combat, All u have to do to survive - for human targets - is to get a bola gun and aim at their head and with BTs...JUST KILL them! Stop sneaking past them. Combat is very small part of the game like seasoning on ur pizza. My last boss fight was with a giant tiger bt, it was soooo easy. which is what wanted because i have a human delivery which i didn't want damaged. All i did was stand there right outside of the shelter and chuck all my hematic grenades i have in my pouch and if i ran out, i walk back in the shelter to make more. I believe this is a 10/10 game, it reminded me of horizon zero dawn alot. This game is for those who wish to be the best virtual hero class UPS delivery guy. Expand

    The game is simply great. It is certainly not for all types of players, but for those who enjoy a great atmosphere, good music and interesting characters with unusual dialogues. Yes, it is not perfect, and sometimes it feels repetitive, but it is compensated by the great development of the story and the great performances of the protagonists.

    Wow... I don’t know where to start. The game is definitely weird. That may be an understatement. However it’s so rich. It has style, depth, an intriguing story, great graphics, and fantastic voice acting. And a message! While I can see why some may say it drags, I never felt like I was wandering around aimlessly.

    Excellent video game, playing it is more interesting than gameplays. the story is something totally unique and away from certain commercial action games of covering and running crouching

    The story is amazing, graphics and performance are good. But the gameplay is different from other games as more fetch quest, but what is between the quest the terrain that makes it something different and challenging, it more then a walking simulator.

    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.
