    Some people may like this game. Some will enjoy the walking and quiet moments. But to me, my opinion I bought it and it is very boring. Games are supposed to be fun

    An overrated game. Newly released games like Gears 5 have a lot more content, gameplay, better graphics. Here we play with a feedex postman.

Este juego esta catalogado en accion, aventura y sigilo, cosa que no es este juego ni de broma, que tenga partes de X no significa que lo sea, las secencias de accion son muy limitadas, por lo que este juego ya estaba mal colocado de primeras. Es un juego al que le ha pasado la factura del hype y la publicidad abusiva a un producto que no estaba debidamente etiquetado, si quieres una historia sobre lineas, tienes heavy rain que salio con 20 euros de lanzamiento dejando muy claro que es una pelicula interactiva, detroit become human valia 70 euros pero daba por sentado que era un juego sobre railes con sus toques de rejugabilidad e historia inmersiva. Pero volviendo con este juego, es básicamente de hacer de repartidor, con una historia sobre la vida y la muerte, en un mundo muy dañado. ¿Es divertido? No, que es precisamente el principal punto de que se consuman estos productos. La historia es realmente confusa y difícil de entender, aunque es atrayente, no lo voy a negar. Pero si un juego falla en su principal misión es que algo va mal. Ahora toquemos el apartado visual, los graficos y banda sonora; y son de lejos lo mejor que tiene este juego, logrando una muy buena inmersion, graficamente es muy bonito a la vista, y las animaciones y ambientacion estan cuidadas con mucho detalle. El mapa aunque enorme, está vacío, y a la hora de explorarlo se puede hacer muy monótono al tener que repetir el mismo concepto una y otra vez; que es ir del punto A al B y entregar la mercancía, ya está. Es básicamente un juego que no invita a ser jugado, y por 70 euros hay opciones mucho mejores en el mercado, que algo haya sido hecho por Hideo Kojima no significa que se una "obra maestra" como dicen en eurogamer. Es un "juego" con un transfondo e historia muy llamativos, pero fallando precisamente en su decepcionante jugabilidad. Tambien tengo que hablar de algunos problemas con el motor de colisiones, que resultan en un verdadero dolor de cabeza a la hora de moverte, sobre todo en vehículo, que al moverte te ralentiza atascandote en toda piedra que se cruce en tu camino, por pequeña que sea. Las misiones son tambien otro problema, y para no repetir, diré que hay un enorme número de encargos que son parte del hilo principal (no son secundarias) haciendo que la historia cueste mucho trabajo escucharla, y asimilarla. Ahora mismo, este juego lo tengo atrancado, y francamente esperaba algo mejor de este señor; dejar de endiosarlo y de venerar este juego por lo que no es, NO ayuda a esta industria en nada, y eso es así, punto.

    Opinión personal:
    Este producto es más una película interactiva que un juego propiamente dicho (y no, no me vale que el juego empiece a divertir a partir de la mitad del mismo) fallando en mantenerte pegando al mando e intentando ver mas. Para lo que trae, 70 euros son excesivos, estoy seguro de que no estaria recibiendo tantas hostias si se hubiera alejado del hype, la publicidad innecesaria, y las altas expectativas; todo ello a un précio más asequible. ¿Merece la pena probarlo? Me decanto por un NO rotundo, pero si te interesa, es mejor alquilarlo o pedirlo prestado, en un juego que a la semana solo servira para acumular polvo en tu estanteria.

    Conlusion: Es un juego excesivamente caro, y que no cumple con las altas expectativas forjadas, muy bonito a los ojos y al oido, pero fallando en tódo lo demás. Si quereis probar este juego, mejor alquilado antes de hacer la decision final, es lo mejor que podeis hacer. Y si eres fan de la saga Metal Gear Solid y querias ver algo de ese calibre, esto NO es para tí, esta demasiado alejado del sigilo y accion tan características de MGS.

    Mi nota: Un 4, ni un punto más.    … Expand

    I can't recommend this game... The map is huge but it's EMPTY, there is no life.
    The rewards for delivery packages are "likes" (wich they don't have any use, they are "unconditional love" as Kojima said). And then you get like "xp" that makes you better at delivering more packages....

    Even after spending 5 hours into the game i still feel cheated on, it's been so boring that i can barely keep myself from playing it anymore, Kojima should just stick to making movies now instead of trying to create this new genre of "games". You could just watch a youtube video about Death Stranding's cutscenes and you would get actually a better experience i swear

    O Jogo é chato monótono só andar pra um lado e para o outro quase não tem ação e as cutscenes são excessivamente longas que dão até sono, o único ponto positivo é que dá pra pular elas. Isso é uma "Obra de Arte" só na cabeça do Kojima mesmo.

    This game mentions the concept of Chiral and there are masked characters like Hardman and Higgs. Both serve as a metaphor for how we often differ in and out of the realm of internet, specifically social media and how we construct our persona. People can talk harsh and condescending to each other with seemingly free of consequences, something that they might not do in real life.

People can talk harsh and condescending to each other with seemingly free of consequences, something that they might not do in real life.

    I find it ironic and hypocritical. The cultist pawns of Kojima are quick to defend whoever brave enough to voice their less favorable opinions about the game with derogatory terms like 'unintellect' or 'having a poor taste'. Did they get the holy message? Funny they do the very sin Godjima tells them not to. Also, in recent news article Kojima said that he never intended to invent a new genre of a game. He prefered people to name it their own. His statement conflicted his own he made on his twitter a few months back. He clearly said the game is going to be a Strand genre. So what gives? Is it because things didn't turn out to be like he envisioned with the mixed reviews and such?

    He also compared Death Stranding to his early work of Metal Gear in which he stated it was the first stealth game ever made which clearly it wasn't. He said the gaming folks can't appreciate Death Stranding right now because they are not ready for something new.

    Oh boy. Name one thing Stranding is not. Paperboy, Truck Sim, Flappy Birds, Soul series, Shadow of Colossus, Zelda, any recent open world titles. Not to mention the gameplay loop was bland, tedious and uninspiring. It can't decide whether it wants to be a movie or a video game, a movie about human connection/death/science-fiction/social commentary/politic/nonsensical mess, a video game about delivering package or combating hostile enemies. Sadly all of the options just do not work in this game.

    I am offended by Kojima's antics and the very existence of this game.    … Expand

    I've played for 28 hours and decided I can't take it anymore. For those of you who think you have to finish a whole of something to get the overall impression of it you're wrong. Even more so when you know what the thing is all about from start to finish. You don't have to eat a whole plate of dish just to know whether you like it or not, do you?

    I'm a fan of MGS 1-3 and P.T. or    I've played for 28 hours and decided I can't take it anymore. For those of you who think you have to finish a whole of something to get the overall impression of it you're wrong. Even more so when you know what the thing is all about from start to finish. You don't have to eat a whole plate of dish just to know whether you like it or not, do you?

    I'm a fan of MGS 1-3 and P.T. or intricate and messy movies but I don't like this game. I don't like how it plays. I don't get invested with the characters and the story. I don't like the guy who created it. It's just over the top and God awful silly.

    This is a review from a guy who disappointed with what I get in this game. A sore loser you may call. I had a high hope that this game would bring something totally new and refreshing given that Kojima has a reputable record and big budget for this project. It turned out to be, at least for me, a complete mess.

    Higgs breaks the fourth wall saying that the boss battle is what the player wants after all the tedious walk. Hell no. I don't want another generic combat even more so with easy to beat enemies and overall uninspiring combat gameplay I have done before in other games. I don't want any action. A deeper thought on the delivering package, the "connecting people" mechanic, to make it less obvious, simplistic, repetitive, pretentious, boring, rather than inclusion of combat at all could be better. If Kojima intented to show players the mundanity and meaninglessness of Sam's actions amidst the world he live in and the plot progressing, he could have at least cut it short or make it more creative. The game seems self-aware of these issues and it feels rather insulting.

    The music is extraordinary. The graphic is beautiful but then the world is empty unlike other populated open-world games. It costs less resource to render all the mossy rocks and draw distance sceneries. Sam animation and the physics could have been better. Sometimes he moves silly like from ps2 era.

    I also don't like how this game received so much praise from critics. It's not a bad game per se but not a great one either. They seem to hestitant being honest with the game. The politics of running a gaming media I guess. Death Stranding is published by Sony anyway. Also, Kojima has a lot of white knights, fame, power, sponsored products, and a bunch of Youtubers he can send exclusive ps4 to help selling his game. A more objective assesment for DS as it is, as a video game, as a product marketed for the masses with its appeal of mainstream tv stars, an evaluation of its merits without conflicting interests, is what I want to hear.

    This is the gaming industry today. This is just sad and infuriating at the same time. I want Kojima to stop and contemplate for just a second. Stop pushing his own agenda, stop being pompous for no reason. Start caring for gamers as a whole not just his inflated ego and his blind loyalists.

    Very repetitive, the gameplay is boring and there is too many cutscenes which ruin the game entirely.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Endless Walking in an unpopulated, drab world, I don't care if I can see individual blades of grass - Prettied-up rubbish is still rubbish.

    Enemies pose no risk whatsoever: kill the MULEs, no voidouts happen; get dragged into a Catcher fight, just run away for 30 seconds, the BT "threat" disappears entirely. To think Kojima even bothered putting in a Very Easy Mode...

    Strand Game is nothing new, it's worse actually: to connect with others you leave behind bits and vehicles? I'll do you one better, couch co-op. There's better environment diversity and traversal in Minecraft. But there's the Story to look forward to! About that...

    Just watch the 11 hours of Cinematic Cutscenes on YouTube for free, the $60 you would've spent would go better to a real game that's actually a game, or fun. As a Sci-Fi and Sword-&-Planet junkie, I can smell a Soft-Magic Deus Ex Machina a mile away and when it's being passed off as a Hard-Science plot device. More like plot hole. Kojima deliberately places the event of the story during a period of Cryptic Mystery of the nature of the Death Stranding, so there's plenty of opportunities to leeway when certain Sci-Fi Junk doesn't seem convenient. Like how Fragile didn't wither to death under TimeFall, or how Lady Strand's Ka and Ha (I by chance alone knew enough Egyptian Fable to know the terms, good luck trying to get an explanation of these concepts from the Game) somehow can survive as independent entities, and don't anybody try to defend it as Extinction Entity Magic. Really, all those millions spent on hiring a celebrity cast could have been better spent on real writers rather than Hideo's own subpar Fanfic scribbles, or getting debut actors their shot earning rave renown from skill alone and not namedrops. At least make for more visual storytelling by doing more showing and less telling. All the human interaction in the Cutscenes can be done entirely live rather than in MoCap. All the MoCap render are them standing and talking, a wasted production value.

    I really had high hopes for Death Stranding along with many other people, I bought into the hype when Kojima showed the gameplay but I thought that there was more to the game besides the monotonous walking around, interact occasionally with x in the evironment.

    After spending 11 hours with the game i feel like i don't want to continue anymore to see if it will get any better. I should have listened to the reviews, i thought this game was getting review bombed but it turns out is every bit as boring and tedious as people are describing it to be. What a disappointment.

    Walking simulator 2019. You can't just make a game like a movie. Wherever I go, there's a cutscene or else, just walking. Graphics are decent but there's no action at all. And boss fights are like throwing grenades only. So it's not a kind of game for those who like action and adventure games

    That being said, the game is pretty daring and it pays off in some aspects. Keyword: Some
    There is a reason Fast Travel is a popular option in many open-world games, even ones that are filled to the brim with content around their worlds and with interesting ways to traverse them. The intricacies in the gameplay while making deliveries does make it more engaging than the "walking simulator" many are accusing DS to be. Still, these vaguely aspects involved in the traversal simply aren't interesting enough to justify sitting through a mediocre and unskippable 8 hour passion project, film student-esque movie made by the ego-inflated hack that is Kojima. DS fails to cater to any specific audience by trying to implement way too little of way too much.

    To those who are holding out hope and believe they will enjoy it because they want a "comfy uwu" game should most certainly reconsider their definition of comfy.    … Expand

Everyone seems to like the story and the acting but I thought Norman Reedus and couple others were decent.

    Kojima is just one crazy SOB, I dont like this game but I'm glade he finally got to make the game he wanted and I'm glad some people are enjoying it.. I work all day and I come home and feel like this game is work.

    The gameplay is also a thing I hate and love at the same time.. mostly hate it though.. I really think the point A and then point B thing was lazy. Seemed to me he focused more on making an art piece instead of a video game that is fun.. This game does have flashes of brillances here and there which make me very interested, once I do get interested Kojima pulls the rug from underneath me.. I want there to be a Death Stranding 2 because I think it's interesting but I would prefer less overly dramatic try hard cut scenes and fun gameplay.. Maybe make Death Stranding a theme name like Finally Fantasy and have a different story each time.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Kojima and his team were very ambitious with Death Stranding. The ambitiousness of this game is the only reason why I haven't given this a 0/10. Unfortunately unique concepts and my innate desire to support passion projects don't outweigh my value of time, this game completely disregards any semblance of value for their players' time. Death Stranding is said to be more than 50 hours long and according to many it does improve over time . . . But I am only 5 hours in and will not be continuing. The gameplay is grindy, repetitive and slow, it is like being stuck in an infinite fetch quest. And this may get better over time when other players add structures and resources but for me, it was exceedingly frustrating. The combat is basic and repetitive, it's a simplistic button mash followed by running once overwhelmed cycle. The dialogue reads like a 13 year old's HP fanfic (I watched a scene later on which has Mads say 'There's rain falling from my eyes', really?!). The vehicles are janky and at times difficult to control. To those that argue that the reviewers have not given it a fair chance because we simply have not played enough, if it takes more than 10 hours for a game to become bearable then that game has ultimately failed.

    The opening of this game is arguably the second biggest obstacle for players after the blatant disrespect of our time. The amount of cutscenes could never be justified in the first place but ultimately, and I think this will be extremely apparent to people who regularly consume arts and media that are narrative-focused, Death Stranding uses so many words to say exceedingly little.    … Expand

    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.
