    Bom, eu de fato gostei muito do jogo death stranding. Mas tenho que dizer que algumas partes na gameplay são cansativas. Me fazendo cansar e me deixando ficar longe do ds por um tempo. Entretanto acabei zerando e achei a historia extremamente maravilhosa e complexa. Gostei muito das musicas que usaram no jogo, deixaram o clima excelente.

    a atmosfera é única, a campanha é pessoal e se desenvolve bem, apesar do Hideo Kojima esse jogo é uma obra de arte.

    If you like walking around an empty boring and bland world this one is for you.
    it has to be the worst game every. I dont have a clue what they were thinking about - waste of money even if given away free.

    Gameplay certainly very heavy and therefore not appreciable by everyone ... But it is definitely worth a try.

    I like this game. First of all, the plot of the game and the unusual game play. Slow, not rushed - I like it.

    The game is very unusual, unlike other games, this is its plus. Kojima is a genius. The music is just as wonderful as the gameplay. The plot is super and very complex. After the game, I watched a review of the plot that lasted 3 hours. A masterpiece

    Le meilleur jeu de 2019 incontestablement. Le jeu est une pure merveille de simulation. Ne plaira pas à tout le monde. Ceux qui cherchent une expérience à nulle autre pareil foncez.

    Pretty unique, interesting plot, but extremely boring and time consuming. I prefered to watch people play it, for me it was just too slow.

    This game is polarizing for some...but do not believe the "shallow walking simulator" complaints. It is a game about deliveries from point A to point B, yes...but the gameplay is refined and the decisions made while going from point A to point B...what you are carrying, how to approach an objective, inventory management, and smooth controls make this game one of my favorites of all time!

    The story itself is interesting, featuring unexpected twists. However, the gameplay process is extremely boring. The open world is lacking in depth. After playing for 20 hours, I decided to delete it.

    I've being avoiding Death Stranding since its release due to its mild reception. I'm playing it now and near the end, and I'm having such a great time with it. It's definetely meant for a niche audience, but that's okay.

    Another trash from Kojima. Most of products from this guy are mid quality with bad gameplay design. The only thing he's doing great is cutscenes because 85% of his games are cutscenes and QTE.

The way Sam interacts with the environment is very satisfying and the way they introducte new tools to transverse the map also helped to maintain a bit of freshness + the soundtrack also made a considerable mark on me, to say the least ... yet it stills fails to provide a game in which I could actually be fully entertained most of the time because of its story's pacing.

    The plot, which even if somewhat convoluted, was very intriguing, thought provoking and emotional, but most of its actual content is literally dumped onto us in the last 2 to 3 hours of the game.

    Either you will like it or you won't. Very unusual game. I had a lot of fun managing my cargo and making deliveries. I liked that it's a very story driven game. There are no "wrong choices" and the bosses are not hard. I found the dialogue between the characters very weak at times. The first three chapters are very long but then the pace picks up and you feel like your finally making some headway.

    um otimo jogo. só que o jogo fica bem enjoativo e repetitivo depois de terminar as missões principais, o combate com armas de fogo não é tão divertido. más passar numa área de EP's pra coletar entregas sem arma nenhuma enquanto vê a sombra deles é de deixar qualquer um em desespero.

    I went into it knowing only the name and the hype/reputation it generated. I regret playing it. It’s boring, weird, garbage. It’s unlike any game I’ve ever played before. Typically, being different would be a positive thing as it could mean new and exciting concepts that are challenging, stimulating, or just very interesting.

In the case of Death Stranding, I’d say it’s different because other game developers wouldn’t have bothered to make a game this stupid.

    A lot of people are saying it’s a walking simulator. It’s not. I enjoy walking simulators. I do not enjoy this. Playing this is a chore, and not in a good way. I’d also enjoy a good chore simulator. This is not that. It’s more like a nightmare, but not the kind you’d like to play a simulator of. It’s wholly unpleasant.

    The story is akin to getting your five year old to describe what they think a scary movie should be like, then running that through ChatGPT, then running that back through your five year old and getting getting them to write it as a summary, and then sending that summary to someone on fiverr who’s only charging $3 to write a script for a feature length movie.

    The graphics are pretty great.    … Expand

São poucos os jogos que conseguem ter toda essa bagagem com maestria e mais uma vez o gênio visionário Hideo Kojima superou as expectativas. Obviamente por ser algo novo assustou muita gente, em especial os mais preguiçosos e pessoas com baixo nível intelectual. É aí que se separam os meninos dos homens, as meninas das mulheres. Jogos de nicho para isso são feitos: Agradar a um público seleto, aqueles que realmente têm a acrescentar no mundo. É um jogo que mudou minha vida, reacendendo minha paixão por videogames. Aguardo uma sequência com toda a felicidade. É isso. Paro por aqui pois 5000 caracteres são poucos para expressar minha satisfação com esse game que é mais do que uma experiência inesquecível.

    Death Stranding is without a doubt one of the weirdest games I've ever had the privilege of playing which I suppose is to be expected from one gaming's greatest icon's himself.

I can understand where people are coming from when they say this game isn't for everyone because the way I see it, most people think of fun video games as primarily just mindless hack and slashing, shooting others, and innovative gameplay but not delivering packages or complex stories but to be completely honest with you, after putting more than 100 hours into this game for the platinum, I personally believe the people who are giving this game a 0 didn't even bother playing this because this game is so much more than just a lifeless open world delivery game. The main thing to understand what I mean is that I wouldn't describe this world as "lifeless" since there's plenty of lost cargo along the path meaning you can decide to stop and quickly pick it up making sure it's a mindless point A to B path with nothing to look at since the lost cargo all over the place will make sure you keep a careful eye all over the place. It's not even like there's nothing to look at even without the lost cargo since the graphics are PHENOMENAL even for a base PS4 to complement the atmosphere to ensure it's both relaxing which I can imagine is what a lot of people play games for and it stays in your head on what a post apocalyptic world would look like and it also helps the performance is excellent since the frame stays LOCKED to 30 FPS which is especially impressive for a world this detailed even for a PS4 Pro. The way how the gameplay is more fun than it looks since your cargo is heavy and the world is also a challenge with terrain potentially posing a danger to cargo making you plan out and experiment on how to get past the challenge and it's always satisfying when you do it. I'm not kidding when I say the sandbox a big strength of this game since you could overcome a challenge or reach a destination however you want; for example, I decided to try and kill all the human enemies and cremate their bodies to see what would happen and sure enough, their bodies NEVER came back making me feel rewarded I tried an experiment. The "emptiness" is intended since you can build any types of structures you want but there's also other structures other players made and when you use them/make structures, you're helping other people out and they're helping you to make you and others understand that in order to save America (or let's face it as gamers, probably just get the platinum trophy), we need to work together and unite as one which now that I think about it, must've been Kojima's plan all along. Whoever made this soundtrack should get a raise because there's not a whole lot of music but then when it does come up, it shows up when you're about to finish a difficult delivery and it genuinely feels like a massive burden is lifted off your shoulders and you feel so relived thanks to the soothing music. Finally, the story is frankly complex and convoluted and that in return is what makes it incredible but it's really the characters surrounding the story that makes it something special because without them, this story would've fallen flat on it's face since a good story is completely around it's characters to tell it. HOWEVER, I don't think this game is perfect and even though Kojima is quite an icon in the gaming industry, even he isn't immune from criticism and I've seen plenty of people say these flaws are his "style" but to be clear, just because it's his style doesn't make it good. Like even though the physics are amazing, they're not perfect since Sam could slip and act like he hit a wall even when a rock the size of his knee caps is in the way and it's extra annoying when you feel your cargo shouldn't have gotten damaged like this. The performances are great for the most part, but there was this one character who was just downright HORRIBLE especially considering this is a AAA game. Finally, what I believed created of the initial negative first impressions, nothing happens in the first 4 chapters. To be frank, it's not the players job to continue on throughout the game to see what happens, the developers need to get the players engaged from the very beginning otherwise players are gonna think this is how the game is gonna be for the rest of the game which is clearly not true. Overall, despite it's flaws, Death Stranding is one of the most unique games I've ever played and I'm so happy I played it since I haven't felt both this relaxed and lost in a video game for quite and a while and if you can get past the first 4 chapters, I can happily recommend this game and I can't wait to see what Kojima has to offer for the sequel.
    EDIT: Actually, scratch what I said, the human enemies I killed DID come back but that wasn't for a LOT longer than if I knocked them out    … Expand

    Kojima is probably the only man in the world that can make walking simulator a game of the year. Magnificent.

    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.
