    This game shows EXACTLY how DEGRADATION looks like. No gameplay, just delivery simulator.
    I’m sad that pre-order via PSN can’t refund.

    Don’t buy this overpriced piece of nonsense.

    Okay soundtrack is cool and the story makes you think. But in a game, the most important part is the gameplay: This game is boring, easy, broken and presumptuous. Not only that, Kojima lied to us and marketing also cheated.

    El juego es una burla, para los jugadores y compañias de videojuegos que si se esfuerzan en sacar bueno juegos con mundos abiertos vivos, y completos. Death stranding es un juego vacio sin vida, aburrido, en lo tecnico no es nada del otro mundo, en lo jugable no hay nada peor que lo supere lo único que se puede rescatar es en lo sonoro y nada mas

    Another waaaay over hyped game pushed by Sony and released in an unfinished state to capitalize as much as possible on pre-orders and first month sales.
    When this will ever stop?

    Amazing visuals and a beautiful soundtrack can't save this game from what amounts to a project that tries too hard to be different and left field and is just trying to be too clever for itself. The result is a 40+ hour bore fest that relies too heavily on its "connecting people together" narrative and not delivering much excitement.

    A história: Ela como um todo é perfeitamente explicada e desenvolvida. A forma com que tudo evolui é muito interessante e te deixa surpreso(a) várias vezes. Entretanto, alguns temas e personagens do jogo poderiam ter sido mais explorados, mas isso é uma opinião minha.

    Sobre a gameplay: Eu gostei muito, ela é bem envolvente e te dá prazer em controlar o personagem. Algumas pessoas reclamaram dos veículos, pelo fato dos mesmos não passarem em qualquer terreno, o que é um absurdo, pois se os veículos passassem em lugares de difícil locomoção, o jogo perderia sua graça e dificuldade.

    O jogo como um todo é magnífico, e as vezes eu nem acreditava estar jogando algo com tamanha qualidade. Death Stranding trouxe um frescor pro mercado que está muito carente de jogos originais, criativos, e de uma boa qualidade.    … Expand

    I really wanted to love this game, I really did as someone who followed it closely from launch. Sadly what most people are saying is true, it's really just a walking simulator that was over hyped, created this massive false promise of expectations.

Sadly what most people are saying is true, it's really just a walking simulator that was over hyped, created this massive false promise of expectations.

    The world is beautiful but mostly devoid of worthwhile content. I found that the few areas I did find interesting were covered in BTs, the ghost-like enemies you have to sneak around. Not very challenging, more of a giant obstacle that goes from being cool to really annoying filler. There's also mules, which are just people "Addicted" to stealing cargo to deliver? I can't really say their background is compelling to me, and they're just as big of a pain too, impeding your progress with stealth that isn't MGS level, and combat that is just downright frustrating and outdated even by PS2 standards for mechanics.

    Aside from those, it's literally just a walking simulator from point A to point B. First 10 hours are alright, but after a while the monotony of doing the same task over and over through more annoying environments just starts to grate on you, you just want to deliver packages just to progress the story that's pretty barren past the opening cutscenes.

    This game wasn't what I was hoping, the story is mostly there, but the gameplay doesn't live up to that hype, or anything really... It's just bad without something more on the table, and downright frustrating. Wish Sony/Kojima would have been more straight forward with what kind of game this was, because the buildup and trailers mostly hide how boring this game truly is to play.

    5/10, the story being where the 5 came from, -5 for that awful gameplay.    … Expand

    One of the main focus point of any Hideo Kojima games would be the story. From my personal experience without spoiling any of the game story plot I would say that the story could be intriguing at times but the pacing of the story could be very slow for the most part where you would felt like there was no progression in the story at all.

    As for the gameplay if you're coming in with the expectation of it to being a heavy action pack game than you would most likely be disappointed. The gameplay in this game are usually fill with fetch quests where you would deliver a cargo from one location to another where it could get tedious after a while. As you progress in the story you would unlock more tools that could be craft to help you on your journey to deliver your cargo. There are some actions in the game as well where you would fight off the BT (the monsters in the game) in a boss fight sequence. Even though there are different types of BT in the games it get repetitive after a while as all their attack sequence are pretty much identical to each other.

    As for the graphic in this game it is phenomenal, the one thing that stood out to me the most is how the weather changes in the game and how the world environment reacts to it. The soundtrack in the game is pretty good as well as they manage to get license to some really good music from certain music bands.

    Overall the games have it moments but fall short in some departments such as inconsistent story pacing and really repetitive gameplay where they should have added many more elements into it to make the game more interesting.    … Expand

    Once you realise that you're not THAT easy to trip over, you begin caring less, and it loses its luster.

    Same goes for the BTs, once you get the hang of how your tracker works, you can blast through any zones without caring too much.

    All in all, the walking/stumbling delivery system could've been a great system as a PART of a game but not enough to make it a whole game by itself.

    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

    If you are the type of gamer looking for gameplay in a video game, this game is not what you are looking for. Because a large part of the game is basically a continuous recycling of the boring delivery missions with bad gameplay. And they are not stimulating at all to complete, they are only frustrating. What remains are good graphics and a very redundant plot.

    It is less of a game and more of a mental chore. The janky driving mechanics and weight carrying system makes the game frustrating. To top it all off the sense of the grim and mysterious environment leads to nothing as the story seems half baked. Only thing going for it is the graphics and soundtrack.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A Slow Burn That Eventually Cooks Up Something Delicious.

    There are many things in gaming that have given me trouble over the years. Grinding towards a seemingly unattainable item, getting inexplicably lost, or trying to beat a boss on the hardest difficulty before inevitably realizing that I suck and have to go back to casual.

    One thing that has never been on that list until Death Stranding: Walking. Few things make you appreciate the art of staying upright like falling over for the 20th time and watching your cargo break and scatter.

    From the beginning, the game starts off slowly and painfully. You don’t know what’s going on, you can barely navigate the map without tumbling down a hillside, and there are ghost-like “BTs” roaming the map which you are defenseless against, and they’re ready to f**k your day up and ruin some poor SOBs pizza delivery.

    A few hours in though, the game finally starts to turn a corner. Things that were once dreadfully tedious and painful suddenly become easier as you slowly acquire new gear to help you along your way. And just when you think you’ve gotten all the gear you could possibly get, a new item shows up at the exact moment when you were getting fed up with something. And then that happens 10 more times. Each time adding layer upon layer to the experience, slowly building what felt like an empty experience and gameplay into a deep, rich, nuanced journey.

    And throughout this journey, the narrative of Sam the Delivery Man and the “Death Stranding” world he inhabits envelopes you and draws you into its many, many layers of mystery. Although there are perhaps a few holes, the overall narrative of Death Stranding is incredibly deep and complex. It’s a story that keeps on giving. And giving. And giving. So much so that when I thought I was close to the end of the game, it turns out there were still 10 hours left to go.

    The ending did feel a little bit drawn out (almost two hours of cut scenes!!!!). It might have been nice for some parts of the plot to wrap up earlier as the story progressed. But there was understandably a lot of narrative to unpack.

    Other than that, the fighting and gunplay left a little bit to be desired, but this wasn’t the focus of the game and there are so so many other FPS titles you could play if that’s what you’re looking for.

    Death Stranding is shallow and empty (by design), until it isn’t. In the end, the overwhelming amount of satisfaction you will feel as you finally start to conquer the empty, cruel world that you inhabit is worth the effort. Oh yeah and then there’s that test tube baby strapped to your chest the whole time.    … Expand

    Death Stranding is a divisive game, and to be honest, I don't see why it's so divisive. Whatever way I look at this, it's a self-indulgent, tedious and inane mess of a game. Allow me to explain.

    The graphics of this game are where they really missed a beat. You can tell from character models that the power and resolution is there, but they dropped the ball massively with the    Death Stranding is a divisive game, and to be honest, I don't see why it's so divisive. Whatever way I look at this, it's a self-indulgent, tedious and inane mess of a game. Allow me to explain.

    The graphics of this game are where they really missed a beat. You can tell from character models that the power and resolution is there, but they dropped the ball massively with the environments. You're plunged into the game into a brown and green mushy and rocky hillside. You're expected to traverse this over the coming hours of the game on foot. Aside from that you have bland grey buildings where you drop off your cargo and rest. These look futuristic but also incredibly bland and empty. Perhaps later in the game more beautiful and glimmering environments emerge, but I got sick of the game long before that if so. Kojima clearly wanted to make the environments seem atmospheric and emotive, but this fell flat with tedium and emptiness instead.

    The gameplay is another disappointing aspect of the game. The early hours of the game sees you wandering around on foot from pillar to post as you deliver cargo. People have lauded the simplicity of this but that is misleading. It is not simple to constantly tap buttons just to maintain your balance during what is essentially an overhyped fetch-quest. When it comes to the menus, things are far from simplistic. Simply arranging and offloading your cargo is a convoluted mess, with varying sizes of fonts that become microscopic in some menus. There is further self-indulgent rubbish in how you're expected to navigate a restroom by telling your character to shower and poop as if you're babysitting him. I ended up trapped in this room because the game didn't make it clear I HAD to take a shower to proceed. Plus, when you fall over out on the field you risk your cargo becoming dislodged too, with one hilarious and infuriating experience I had of falling over in a river and observing my cargo being washed away as I floated after it. Kojima seemed to forget he was making a game and not a movie or walking simulator.

    The story rivals the gameplay for the most ridiculous display of self-indulgence by Kojima. I was very excited that the first mission had you carrying your mother's corpse (who was also POTUS) across a mountain to be incinerated. However, after this it emerges you will be traversing across more mountains to activate a series of devices - essentially fetch quests. Shortly after this I lost all interest as many other negative reviews such as Jim Sterling lamented the same issues I had noticed, meaning I could expect the rest of the game to be similar and therefore not to my tastes.

    One thing that Jim Sterling pointed out that I also loved were the moments when you're traversing the landscape and a soundtrack begins to play. This is where some emotion was added to my experience and I felt some enjoyment for the game. This only happened once or twice in the hours that I played it, however.

    Overall, Kojima appears to have been given free-reign and a blank cheque to make this game, and what a mess of it he has made. The story is less coherent than Metal Gear Solid 4 and the cutscenes are painfully drawn out and over-acted. The gameplay manages to make the simple act of walking convoluted and even more inane than walking should be, and the graphics are far too one-dimensional. Kojima had a fantastic opportunity to show Konami what they have lost and he botched it massively. If he releases another game with mixed reviews I will be steering well clear and I'd advise others to do the same. If this wasn't so overhyped it might not have been such a disappointment, but it is a bad game overall.    … Expand

The storytelling in Death Stranding is mind-blowing, with Kojima-style odd cinematography makes the presentation of the story looks awesome and very few games can achieve the cinematic visual and feel of this game has created. IMO, the experience Death Stranding provided is very unique compared to what usually people expecting a game to be. No intense gun fight, no fancy fighting moveset. Just listen to nice song or music when you feel bored while doing your jobs or travelling from point A to point B in the game. In conclusion, the developers has created a game not to be fun, but feels very related to our daily lives.… Expand

    It is a different game from what you are used to, I do not understand why they say that the story is not understandable, since the begining in the scenes they explain everything. It is definitely a long game, so are all RPGs, to enjoy it you must level up the facilities. The story despite being rare is good. I recommend playing this game and don't let the hate influence you.

    stupid dialogues, stupid characters exept clifford , delivering for 35hrs.
    ===== Good game but not for long.
    My personal advise for those who didnt play it yet: play it its worth it. But play it online and just the story.
    If you dont. You are just going to torture urself.

    This game is boring and half-finished. But dare to be different and that’s what I’m looking for in games today. Thank you Kojima!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finally finished chapter 14. It took me more than half a year to finish this game. Unlike many players give up in Chapter 2 or 3, I took a long stop by the end of Chapter 9. I simply lost motive to continue after finishing more than 85% of the requests but knowing not too much about the truth behind. After I finally got time to finish the rest of game at once, I found myself watching CG for about half of the gameplay of the last few chapters. Player can do nothing to participant in the game except watching CG which I think is a little bit long for the last few chapters of a game. But generally I enjoy this game and like the idea of “connection” especially during COVID-19. The plot is great and I really appreciate some of my favorite actors/actresses are in this game. What I like most about the whole storytelling is the way Kojima used to explain why Sam can sometimes see Cliff when he connected to BB. I can find some clues even from the very first hour of the gameplay but the whole truth is so well hidden that I can only know the whole thing by the very end of the game (also thx to some misleading messages). I also like how Kojima use the idea of “rope” and “stick” in this game. Good game experience in a nutshell, looking forward to his new game.… 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.
