    This game is definitely not for everyone, though I liked it a lot. If you don't enjoy particularly long cutscenes than don't play this game.

    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.

    Just make a movie already! I made it about 2 hours into this before I realized I've only actually been in control about 20mins.

Journalists will condescendingly tell you "you just don't get it", but at the end of the day this game really is a package delivery sim that plays like a failed art film. It' also exists purely as an ego stroke for Kojima, who inserts his name in the credits at the beginning and end of every scene. Dude we get it, this is your game. I'd rather see the name of the character artists at the beginning and end of each scene because they're the real MVP's. They did such an awesome job at recreating what these actors actually look like that it's stunning, which is why I score it 4 out of 10. This game is also incredibly derivative of the Tom Cruise film Oblivion. From basic aesthetic, to some of the plot and character design. Kojima shouldn't be so proud of stealing. The rest is Kojima fluff wrap in a Prime delivery sim. Expand

    Es un buen juego pero no una obra maestra que cambio la industria, aunque claro si cambio algo al ser un indie con presupuesto alto.
    Es un juego que no ha muchos les va a gustar y es entendible por lo monótono que se vuelve en ocasiones o el nulo acceso de armas durante parte del inicio del juego.
    La historia es lo que engancha al espectador para seguir adelante y continuar jugando.

    Kojimas masterful storytelling aside I understand the gameplay may not be for everyone but by the time the credits rolled I was thoroughly converted. The gameplay mechanics are strangely addictive and I have had hours of fun. The story is beautiful and bought me to tears and I recommend putting the time in.

    I didn't like this game at first because I thought it was just a delivery simulator with ghosts. But after coming back to it, I fell in love with the story and got addicted to the deliveries. In chapter 3 you get to use a vehicle and it makes a huge difference!!! Give this game a chance, this game will grow on you!!

It is from this point on that you get to know the unique and magical lore of this game that involves a simple concept to an incredible conclusion that answers all your questions in a journey full of emotions, incredible characters and difficulties to be overcome. I can't go into details because spoilers would ruin the experience.

    gameplay: No, it is not a walking simulator. The game largely focuses on crossing terrains, there are numerous ways and as the game progresses you gain new and useful technologies to customize your map making your life easier and helping other players. There are also several action sessions where you can use firearms and other weapons you use ... well, other things like projectiles. Enemies range from humanoid soldiers to giant creatures that look like they came out of a Japanese movie. There is a lot of variation in what you can do, from basic needs to leaving various fun interactions for other players while you find the ones they left for you.

    art: While the game has a more realistic footprint, it is interesting to note that several designs and scenarios are extremely more beautiful and more interesting than real landscapes. The characters also have an unusual design that is very well done.

    soundtrack: Imagine Bloodborne meets Cyberpunk, boss fights have this type of synthwave music in epic proportions, the songs from other points in history can vary well between drama and the wonder of discovering new mysteries and places. ALSO, we have Hideo Kojima's playlist that brings us unique experiences with real bands in reflective moments in the game that you will never forget.

    The story is in true Kohima fashion - mysterious and extremely unique. As a completionist, I felt at times disconnected from the complex story. If I had stuck to the main objectives in closer succession to one another I would have been fully engaged. (I believe this is a problem in all open world games, not just Death Stranding. The story is unparalleled and is a must for those who love psi-fi and horror-esq material.

    I got the platinum for this game. If you had asked me my score up one completion it would have been a 10/10. However, after sitting on it for some time I have realized that this is not a game for everyone. You can not pick this up like you can an Assassins Creed, Call of Duty, Mario Kart, or Spider-Man and love it. It takes patience, appreciation for a story, and time (something that professional game critics do not have, in my opinion). I spent 200 hours in this game.

    This game deserves a good score for its beauty, unique story, and attempt to do what others have not done before - and for doing it decently.

I can appreciate expositions dumps as much as the next guy but at least give it to us in an interesting way rather than have some guy in a hologram talk for way too long

    The gameplay is literally go from point A to point B and if you're unlucky some of the **** muck people will grab you and drag you 200 meters away from your cargo. A lot of people will tell you there are guns and grenades that surely would make the game fun but they don't. They still manage to make shooting boring. The only good thing about this game is the performances done by the amazing actors who deserved to be in a better game

    Anyway, if you really want to try this game then get it when it's on sale (at least 60% off) or rent it

If you like simple yet rewarding game systems where you are rewarded for preparing equipment beforehand and careful planning that can pay off sometimes hours down the line then this is for you. If that sounds kind of boring then STAY AWAY!.

    The Good: Rewarding game
    I completely get why people don't like this game, its a niche experience and it just so happens to really appeal to me. If you like simple yet rewarding game systems where you are rewarded for preparing equipment beforehand and careful planning that can pay off sometimes hours down the line then this is for you. If that sounds kind of boring then STAY AWAY!.

    The Good:
    Rewarding game systems for thinking ahead and knowing your surroundings

    Beautiful world and music, seriously these are some of the best looking environments and designs I have seen in the game.

    Every piece of equipment has its place and feels like a genuine upgrade every time you get something new. Who knew building infrastructure could be so fun?

    The struggle and dangers of the world are actually a threat (play on hard), makes completing runs feel all the more satisfying

    Actor performances across the board are great and when the story is focusing on any character beside Amelie its great stuff. One of the biggest character payoffs is just a simple hug, good job Kojima.

    The story is a mixed bag but I found it to be a ultimately positive experience that just overstays its welcome. It also works a lot better the second time around when you know what the characters are talking about and what happens so like I said, a mixed bag.

    Themes of the game, not one person is an island angle is perfect for this kind of experience. Game play reinforces the themes perfectly and Multiplayer is purely cooperative and adds to this as well.

    Its really refreshing to play an apocalyptic game where its ultimately a very human and hopeful experience, would have been the easy option just to go full nihilistic but their is nothing easy about this game.

    The Bad:
    The story, especially in the later parts almost fall apart due to pacing issues. There are too many monologues that ultimately don't matter and the game ends up over explaining itself, especially towards the end. The story focus on how and why things happened far too much when the heart of the game is how characters deal with the problems rather then how they happened in the first place.

    Almost everything to do with Amelie is not terrible but is the source of my issues with the games story.

    Holograms, you will see what I mean

    Getting through the first area game play wise is the worst part of the whole game, very unfortunately as the first level of any game are very important. After that the game improves drastically.

    Too many little animations may seem like a small inconvenience but in the long run it really starts to waste a lot of time, a skip option for the BT alert would be a great start.

    Second time around you really feel those first 10 hours drag due to the lack of equipment. Some sort of NG+ would have worked here where you start with way more then the first time around.

    Conclusion:
    This is a bold game, and a completely unique experience that alone should be applauded even if its not for you. I love this game but I am not blind to its short comings and its far from perfect . Story over explains itself to put it mildly but the characters and game play are the real story tellers here and how they inform the story and themes is the best part of the game.

    You are meant to fall, you are meant to feel frustration and despair but you cannot quit because humanity is worth it. The people you meet, the bridges you build the other players who help you along this long and dangerous road, that is the heart of Death Stranding.

    8/10 Kojima and his team have made something special here but the next time maybe rennin Kojima a little.

    I do not get people who say this game is not fun. Because Death Stranding is one of the funniest games I've played this gen. Genuinely amusing and entertaining at every turn.
    On top of that, the game is full of fresh new ideas and concepts, and the story is fresh too. And the sad fact that 99% of games today are just tired rehashes of old ideas, makes the freshness and uniqueness of Death Stranding stand out even more in a positive way.
    One of the greatest joys of this game was learning. I went in blind, and learned to master the environs and the tools the hard way. It took a VERY long time to really 'get' everything, but once I did, I genuinely felt like the master of the battlefield, able to take any order and deliver it with style. And this was great because in most games today, you can learn the ropes in five minutes, so to have something genuinely challenging to play is AWESOME.
    So, if the game is so brill, why I gave it mere 9 and not 10?
    Well, its because of the game world. The world in Death Stranding is extremely barren, and there really is nothing whatsoever to see in it, except for half dozen tiny ruins. Now, some say its because timefall has eroded all away, but if this is so, how come there are certain ruins, unprotected from timefall, that still stand almost intact?
    No, I suspect that the game world was left barren because Kojima intended it to be rebuild full of life by players in the online game. But when the game got such bad reception, Kojima dropped the whole idea and left it as is. Well, whatever the reason, the barrenness of the game world really eats you away, and that's from someone who is used to playing JRPGs that have painfully barren maps...
    Other issue is that there is no real PS4Pro enhancement here. I first played thru the game on regular PS4 when it came out. And now I replayed thru it on PS4Pro. And was shocked to see no difference between the two 'versions'. No real visual enhancement, just bit better framerate, is all that Pro gives me. Disappointing. So, hence 9/10
    Still this game is genuine masterpiece, and one everyone should play thru. Even if it hurts. And if Kojima was ever to see this review, well, thank you for giving us the most unique, and one of the best, game of the generation. If all devs had such vision and ability, our gaming lives would be so much more fascinating and fulfilling.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I bought this game with the special addition ps4 pro and even though it took me quite a while to beat it , I throughly enjoyed it. Calling it a walking simulator is true at times but I honestly enjoyed putting in the effort to find the best ways to make deliveries and finding ways to make it easier for myself and others that were connected to the same server as I was. The story is spoon fed to you which I did find just a little annoying but after every cutscene it just made me want to continue to see how the story unfolded. I did get max with all facilities in the game just because that is the type of player that I am and I feel if I did not do that I would have completed the game much sooner but there is a sense of accomplishment from doing that and getting the trophy that says only 4% of players actually did it. The ending of the game did a nice job explaining most things about the story and the final cutscene of the main story with Sam and Lou walking away from the incinerator was one of the most touching things I have ever seen from a video game . Couple that with the amazing song choice for the ending cutscene and I could not help but shed some tears at the ending . You truly get attached to your BB. This game is not for everyone, if all you want is action and combat , look elsewhere. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If it wasn't for the pandemic, I would give the game a 6.5/10. But thanks to the immense boredom of self-quarantine, I invested enough time into the game to actually understand the story. But once I did, I absolutely loved the game!!! I'll be honest, the fun doesn't really start until you're at the middle of the game. And the game mechanics are more-or-less based on reality, so action sequences don't have the best gaming dynamics. However, if they really chose to go the "reality" way, I don't get how a person could possibly carry upwards of 100kgs of cargo on their back and manage to travel uphill.

    But boy, it gets to you towards the end... pretty deep stuff. I even shed a tear when the game got over. The final stretch of the game is when you really learn more stuff about the characters and how they became what they are.
    I just feel like the action sequences could use better combat mechanics, especially during boss fights where Sam (protagonist) gets knocked down and gets eaten before even getting a chance to get up and move.

    My advice to a first time player: yes, its mostly deliveries, but each delivery has new and interesting challenges. If you put enough time into the game, you won't be disappointed. Its certainly not a combat-first game, but it doesn't disappoint.

The game takes an abstract approach to story telling and uses experience, time, and struggle as a basis for the theme of connection that is present in the game. You also connect with other players and can use their buildings and they can use yours. It's all about thinking HOW other players INDIRECTLY (as opposed with directly in other games) help us and how we can do the same by connecting with them. There's other messages to be found in the game, but that's the simplified main theme of the game. Overall, the game is beautiful and has an amazing message.

    engaging and calming core gameplay loop.

    Almost everything else in the game is subpar, though. The biggest offenders are the driving sections. You don't have to do anything during those sections. Nothing is happening, and nothing will ever happen. There is no threat, no rules to follow, nothing. It's repetitive, boring and I wish they just weren't part of the game.

    Setting up zip-lines to skip bits of walking was a very satisfying experience, but they break the game.
    I'm amazed how much the game lets you skip through zip-lines.

    The story and characters were a bit of a letdown. The game has been shrouded in this air of intrigue and mystery, but it turns out that despite everything, Death Stranding is a pretty conventional game.
    Please don't go in expecting any great writing or characters or anything.

    I'd recommend the game if any of what I said sounds interesting to you. Keep in mind that the walking is quite repetitive, and if lots and lots of walking doesn't sound very fun, I don't think you should play it.

    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.
