    Wouldn’t trust the low score brigade, either haters or just really dumb consumers who didn’t research the game. It’s a more meditative experience yet they lust for Michael Bay set pieces. If you sound intrigued by a postal, mountaineering sim set in a sci-fi apocalypse, then give it a go.

The cutscene's are beautiful, beyond brilliant, ultra realistic and the amount of detail in them is astonishing, the pore's, crease's in the lip's, every detail in the eye's, the lifelike expression's on each character's face, when they cry, their expression's are heartbreaking. Little BB is adorable and the game create's that bond, that's so hard to make for the player, but kojima did it with all of BB's little gesture's, when BB cry's it's very upsetting and being so attached later in game to sam. Loving and caring for a virtual character, even one as small as BB, but with such huge importance to the entire game. This game isn't perfect, but it's got so much love put into it, and it really shine's through, death stranding is beautiful, i believe the entire ride is worth it.… Expand

    Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. I can describe this game with just one word - beautiful. It's 47.hours long movie full of great ideas and mesmerising scenery. I was really scared to play it from start after so much hate, but it really get's me and ending ... it was first game that make my eyes a little wet ... just a little bit ;). Thanks Kojima, thanks SONY. It's amazing.

    The game is simply a masterpiece with a lot of effort put into it. Currently 52 hours into it (according to my save file) but the only thing I did not feel was the time passing. Once you are in, you'll never get enough of it. Thank you Kojima.

    As much as I wanted to jump in to defend this game, I wanted to complete the story first. As only 10% of people online (as of writing this) have reached the penultimate level clear trophy, a vast amount of the reviewers here have unlikely completed it prior to slapping it with a 10 or a 0.

As only 10% of people online (as of writing this) have reached the penultimate level clear trophy, a vast amount of the reviewers here have unlikely completed it prior to slapping it with a 10 or a 0.

    DISCLAIMER: I am a big fan of Kojima's games (except for MGS5), but not so much a fan of the man's business practices.I enjoy his meta narrative-focused stories and Nolan-esque exposition dumps.In this case, bias did not dictate my enjoyment of Death Stranding.

    Firstly, I don't believe this game really needs an arbitrary score. The experience is not designed to entertain in the conventional sense, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the task of micro-managing cargo and trudging endlessly across unwelcoming terrain. Yes, there is a lot of walking, but most game genres can be distilled down to very basic fundamentals. "It's a walking simulator" could be the banalest statement that's been thrown at a title since people walked out of The Revenant stating "it was just Leo flopping about in the snow for two hours".

    Just chill with it and enjoy the journey. I gave it a 10 because it is an unforgettable experience that pushes the envelope of Sci-Fi much in the way Blade Runner and Metropolis did. If you have ever seen and liked a Tarkovsky film, this is the closest videogames have to that experience.

    Without spoiling, Death Stranding is Kojima's most self-contained and easily explainable story yet. Stick with it to the end and you will not be disappointed. The delivery and performance of the cast is the best you will see this console generation, easily besting Detroit: Become Human. The themes are heavy-handed in a way only Kojima could deliver without being totally cringe-worthy.

    If you're on the fence and want to try something different that will pay off over the long haul, I absolutely recommend this game. They'll be talking about it for years to come.    … Expand

Overall Death Stranding is a very slow paced and requires a lot of patience and time but in the end is very rewarding. I am only on chapter 3 and I’m at 31 hours, and I am absolutely loving this game, even though I am not on a story part and just delivering tons of cargo, I don’t mind. This game allows me to completely zone out from the real world, and into something more relaxing and stress free. I definitely would say this game was worth my money and if you really wish to buy this game, note that you will need patience and time, if you get bored easily then this game is not for you.… Expand

Si bien los gráficos son una maravilla y la banda sonora va con el ambiente del juego, son las mecánicas lo que entierra este titulo.

    - The plot was too vague to understand right away.
    - There was literally a chapter explaining the story to the gamer. This should not be needed if it was a better build story.
    - Main tasks became tedious later in the story
    - Disappointing ending

    This game is fun for people who like to turn every stone (collecting & completing) in open world games. Is it a new genre? I do not know yet. But it is was an unique and rare experience.    … Expand

    I gotta say, Kojima never fails to impress. I loved the meditative immersiveness of this game, and the unpredictability of the plot. When so many games are just me-too arena shooters or generic 3rd world parkour sandboxes, I give him enormous credit for trying something new and groundbreaking.

    Such a beautiful cast ! Del toro,Wright, nic Refn, 3 directors on 1 project just to be part of the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very strange game,but i liked it very much,very unique in every way,more like a movie with elements of gameplay. Like Kojima said,not many ppl gonna like it,but those who do will love it. I totally understand what he was trying to create and the more you progress the more stuff you get that will ease your journeys. Yes,the game has many problems,like OK physics and poor combat system,but the game didnt bored me at all because each time when i was about to get bored the game would just throw a new mechanic into my face and i would think how can i use it and where to test it. Elements of multiplayer,if you can even call it a multiplayer, are very good.
    A game that is different from anything we know so far,that's why people don't like it i guess.
    And no,a walking simulator becomes interesting with time when you get different difficulties on your way.
    Hats off to Kojima. Absolutely loved the game !    … 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

    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.

    O jogo tem um início arrastado, onde foca em contextualizar o jogador na história e na gameplay. Mas depois embala e se torna uma das maiores e mais surpreendentes experiências, em especial por conta da história. Os gráficos, trilha sonora e sonoplastia são impecáveis . Recomendo.

    The game also has quite a lot of fast and exciting action parts later in the game, it takes time to get there but when it does it's really exciting and breathtaking. at the beginning the game feels empty at first because of the story, and it gradually becomes more and more lively the more players cooperate and build the game world, the ideas that this game has like players all working together to rebuild everything is something i've never seen in any other game before it's just genius game design.

    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.
