    Лучшая игра, в которую я играл в этом году! Тот момент, когда ждешь, а потом наслаждаешься. Сюжет держит, геймплей отличный. После него другие игры кажутся картонными и скучными. Кодзима гений, хейтеры просто дурачки

    NEED A DEMO! I wanted to read reviews before investing in such a different game.

I wanted to read reviews before investing in such a different game. I believe it is true that shooting games and sports games are best sellers because they require skill and practice. Any game must require the player to master their intended skills and therefore the feeling of becoming better and better is what makes people love gaming ( apart from story, graphics , soundtrack etc which are minimal entry requirements nowadays) i dare to say gameplay is the foundation of video games ( physical reflexes for punching buttons quickly or difficult puzzle solving is mainly what we love TODAY!) this game does not require being skilled at neither physical reflexes nor puzzle solving, therefore you don’t have a game right? This enters another category, the movie category maybe, death stranding is a 40 hours long real time movie filmed in one shot? Another category should be a new one called JOB SIMULATOR?, most people play games in order to escape the monotony of their lives and jobs , in a few words: to have a break! and the least thing most people want to do ( in occidental countries) is get a second job as a delivery guy on their free time, we mostly want to break things and throw shells to other go karts etc. BUT maybe there are some cultures who’s main life’s pillar is work ( like the Japanese ) and they might actually like to “EXPERIENCE ” another profession on their free time. Maybe I work as a dentist on real life and I would love to work as a delivery man in the middle of nature on my free time. Just saying this might be a sign of a future niche need out there ( one that we still don’t know we need)... not of “games” as we know them today but more as a mean to live a different virtual life, let’s say I am a mechanical engineer working at Toyota but I would like to experience life as a doctor, so I buy a doctor simulator game where I can experience being a doctor, and yes it might be monotonous but you get that’s the idea with any other job. Actual video games let you become pirates or cowboys in an already saturated market, FUTURE video games will let you become deliverymen, veterinarians , actors, etc. As for the experience of being this delivery man in death stranding I believe the itch behind Kojima’s game is to be able to scape your life and become a traveler, relax while you are delivering a package, the same way we all relax while we drive someplace ,take a hike, take a shower, assemble a lego set, these are opportunities for meditation and MAYBE that is the main purpose of this game, give the player a time to think about life etc. while he makes a delivery. THE ISSUE IS that if I am right and this is the main objetive behind the game , it was TERRIBLY MARKETED ( or was on purpose?) Since people don’t know how to judge this thing they compared it to Metal Gear or any other GOOD ACTUAL game they love and that is why it sucks for many people, they bought a job simulator thinking they where getting “something else” cooler, etc . On the other hand if they have marketed as the thing it is, this game would have sold 10% what it has sold on its release date because it would be a game for an actual relatively small niche that still don’t know they have an itch for these kind of experiences. It would be great if they launched this game with a DEMO! so we could all try it and know beforehand if this is the experience for us or not before spending 60 USD. In summary, I believe new experiences are coming to video games and we might someday be able to live other lives that don’t resume to violence against someone or competition as we know it in video games , I am talking about something more like being able to be a fireman on your free time, become a marketing advisor for a great firm, becoming an astronaut, Why not? Why not being a fireman this year and be a chef the next? Real life only allow most of us to have one profession in a lifetime . Let’s hope innovation comes sooner than later because we are getting bored of killing zombies or shooting something new year after year. Take for example Detroit : become human game, it is a job simulator as well , a negotiator detective job while facing the “west world dilema” of being a Droid. We need innovative experiences!… Expand

    I have to dock it 1 point due to the fact that this game is not for everyone. This game played differently than your average game. You play as a mail man in an attempt to rebuild America.

    Nunca he visto un juego con un apartado técnico tan pulido como Death Stranding, visualmente es exquisito y con pequeños detalles que muestran el amor de los desarrolladores por este juego. La banda sonora es memorable sin duda alguna y encaja perfecto para este título.
    El apartado del sonido del viento, hojas y efectos de agua, lluvia, pasos, entre otros le da vida a un mundo complejo y    Nunca he visto un juego con un apartado técnico tan pulido como Death Stranding, visualmente es exquisito y con pequeños detalles que muestran el amor de los desarrolladores por este juego. La banda sonora es memorable sin duda alguna y encaja perfecto para este título.
    El apartado del sonido del viento, hojas y efectos de agua, lluvia, pasos, entre otros le da vida a un mundo complejo y misterioso. Todo lo técnico en este juego es superior y acompaña a una historia muy profunda y reflexiva que es sin duda la parte central del juego.

    Sin embargo, el gameplay aunque complementa bien con la temática del juego, no es lo suficientemente variada, y muchas veces nos vemos obligados a realizar misiones repetitivas y monótonas con tal de revelar el misterio que ha caído en está América apocalíptica, para empeorarlo, el juego está lleno de mecánicas que podrían encontrar en juegos FPS, RPG, simulación, conducción, estrategia e incluso de survival terror, pero se sienten incompletas y no son aprovechadas al 100%. La historia brillante debería ser el complemento del gameplay bien pulido en un videojuego, no al revés, y esto es lo que convierte a Death Stranding en una pélicula interactiva.

    El género "Strand" que Hideo quiere implementar sin duda es algo interesante, muchas veces hemos visto al online o multiplayer en el principal enemigo de campañas en solitario o un jugador, él quiere incluir esto en su historia y también beneficia mucho a la historia. A diferencia del cooperativo, un segundo jugador no interviene directamente, como en una red social, comentando, guiando o dejando su marca en partes del mapa para varios jugadores que pueden apoyar (dar like) a sus acciones. No obstante, un juego no puedo construirse al rededor de esta idea y mas bien queda como una mecánica extra durante el viaje.
    Este juego a dividido a toda la comunidad de videojuegos y es algo positivo que la industria se atreva a realizar juegos diferentes, que innoven mecánicas y sobre todo incluyan contenido completo y de calidad como Kojima Productions ha hecho. Este juego muestra que no se debe comprar un juego por el "HYPE", debemos saber lo que compramos y no guiarnos solamente por la prensa que muchas veces es cómplice en alabar un título.

    Este juego no es para todos, lo narrativo y lo visual es la obra maestra, si buscas aventura y variedad pues no lo aconsejo. Mi nota es dividida, pero considero al juego un gran mensaje positivo para la industria actual de videojuegos.    … Expand

    Just finished it a couple days ago, and I loved the game honestly. I found it incredibly entertaining and couldn't put it down for really any of my 40 hours.
    The human combat I thought was really engaging, if not basic on the whole notwithstanding a handful of dramatic and dynamic boss fights, and the stealth around BTs was heart pounding from start to finish.

    The human combat I thought was really engaging, if not basic on the whole notwithstanding a handful of dramatic and dynamic boss fights, and the stealth around BTs was heart pounding from start to finish.
    There's flaws sure, it could've used a bit more polish, but the point of the game was to avoid combat not for stealth purposes like MGS, but for human purposes tied to the message Kojima's sending about bringing people together rather than tearing them apart.
    The toll combat takes on you in this game is massive, both in the cargo you have to carry to be "good" in a gunfight and in the damage you can take whether physically or to your precious deliveries. Also, engaging in potentially lethal scenarios runs the risk of triggering a void out that (in universe) could obliterate cities.
    So I liked how they go for engaging moment to moment gameplay of watching your surroundings and managing inventory instead, makes the themes and story punch way harder.
    I think overall the whole experience would've been tainted by going for the traditional route of having a ton of fights and standard gunplay, but the trade off was making a pretty divisive and potentially alienating system and game world that not everyone's gonna like.
    The music, environment, attention to detail, and stellar performances from the entire cast also deserve to be mentioned, as all of them were incredibly impressive.
    It's unfortunate how divisive this game turned out to be, but I think it's good that people can now either avoid the game by knowing it's not for them, or dive in and really get the purest experience possible if they're interested in what Kojima and his team are trying to do, hence why the in game community is as incredible as it is.
    Easily one of my favorite games of the decade, and one I don't think I'll stop thinking about and playing for a long time. I understand it's not for everyone, but it is also far from the "trash" many people will try to convince you it is. If you have the time and are interested in the story, definitely pick it up, if you think you'd get frustrated by the having to manually balance your cargo, you probably will and should just look up the story on YouTube instead. For those who do manage to immerse themselves in the game however you'll find nothing short of a masterpiece that rewards your determination in spades.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the worst game I've ever played and I've played a lot of games (more than your life on this planet). Now we got this out of the way, you might be wondering what's going on with this title and the problems behind it. I'll break it down, starting with the "gameplay"

    The Gameplay:
    The gameplay boils down to this, take packages and go from point A to Point B, sometimes a Point C in between. You traverse through a misleading map that is claimed to be as big as the USA but is actually smaller than most open world games (blame the lies from Sony and KJP's marketing). It uses draw distance as a means to distract the player in grasping the environment. While the environment is graphically impressive, graphics will be the least of your worries here. As you deliver packages, Kojima claims you can do stealth or guns a blazing, except there's two big problems with this. Going Rambo on everything forces you to die and go to the underworld, which is composed of a trash linear TPS segment that makes PS1 shooters look like works of art. To save you from the pain of playing this, it throws you immediately back to the real world right before you collect your missing items. You'd have more fun buying a water blaster toy or a nerf gun than this, hell you'd have more fun playing cops and robbers as an adult than this segment. What about the stealth? It's non-existent as well. While you do crouch and walk like previous MGS games, it's not a stealth game. BTs can sense you if you move too much and then it just becomes a game of "walk away and hope he doesn't notice me, wait he does" because the AI is programmed to notice you regardless if you hold your breath so the only option is to leave the area. Encounters with the occasional highlighter hazmat suit enemies is pure trash, carjacking is a cutscenes and takedowns are a cutscenes. It interrupts the flow of a very tedious cycle of sloppily punching enemies.

    So yes, all you do is walk, like any other game. Delivering packages not only becomes a tedious chore but more of an escourt mission, that is making sure the packages don't get lost. If it gets lost, tough luck; that women won't get her semen and that dude won't get his pizza. Does the story change significantly? No, it doesn't change at all; and neither does the gameplay. What about the boss battles? Well, goo monsters are recycled in different forms (lion, whale, etc) with no brainpower required; just press the button and it'll be dead. Bosses are completely unimaginative from an artistic point of view. What about Higgs? It turns into the most poorly made and thought of boss fight; it's a glorified rockem sockem robot fight, but worse. The animations are not only janky during that boss fight, but throughout the game like sliding down a cliff or picking up packages.

    The Story: Incoherent garbage psychobabble mixed with content ripped off from popular literary books like "The Time Wanderers" and "Hard Boiled Egg." Nothing makes sense and not in the good mysterious way. A child would be able to concoct a better story than this failed auteur of a director. The game wastes your time with HOURS UPON HOURS OF CUTSCENES, but thankfully you can skip them since it doesn't mean anything at the end of the day. Whats the plot twist? Lindsay Wagner is the big bad of the game (you defeat her by pushing two buttons to hug her) and Mads is actually the good guy. Nothing is resolved with the flying figures, Refn never finds his family, and the rest is just stupid.

    Do not buy this game unless you're a:
    1) Blind fanboy 2) Want to burn money for the sake of it

    Don't be fooled into nice graphics, they don't help you here. As for having a new genre? That was a lie. Kojima doesn't play games and doesn't know what to call this mess. Sony advertises this as a adventure game, but it's a whole less adventure and a whole lot more walking and chores. Any game is better than this. Play Journey, it actually emphasizes connections. Play any simulator game like train sim, it's more fun and well thought out. Play heavy rain or any PlayStation exclusive, it's a lot more engaging and coherent than this steaming pile of feces. Play paperboy, it's a lot better mailman game than this. Play any point and click game like monkey island, it's a lot better of an adventure than this.

    This entire game's development and hype is revolved around lies and paid reviews. I'm ashamed to being a PlayStation owner among many other consoles. Do a favor for your wallet and avoid this game like the plague. It's just not worth it. Still dying to play it? Rent a copy for $10, its worth less than that. Or, you can watch a full play through for free on YouTube since this game is such a mess. Verdict: This game is the E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial game of today. Except all the critics are paid off and fanboys mad. Don't believe me? Look at the near/perfect scores & see what they actually write to find out for yourself. What a shame    … Expand

    The asynchronous multiplayer does it for me, as it brings to the game something that has not yet been done ever before.
    For people who think this is just one big fetch quest, you could not be more wrong.
    Once you get over the sea, there is a much larger area which opens up for you. It really starts being difficult to get around - BTs, terrorists everywhere, rough terrain, a lot of deep rivers with strong current. Basically, the world becomes your enemy, anywhere you go. Every step is a challenge that you need to plan ahead for and think about. Every second you need to be on your toes.
    It really took cooperation what needed to be dozens of players to find materials and build roads, safe houses, generators, etc. along the supply line. The feeling when we completed road going through the entire area was just priceless. What was a wasteland full of deadly traps became an area where you could drive your e-bike freely and safely.
    And that's what I guess does it for me. This unprecedented system of players cooperating together, finally, not to kill a bunch of enemies, but in a positive way, helping each other to stay alive and to make life easier. The sheer positivity of providing others means to scale mountains or cross rivers more easily, and the satisfaction of knowing how many people used the road that YOU built.
    That's where Kojima really nailed it IMO.    … Expand

The world built by Kojima is among the most interesting and astonishing ever seen thanks to its unique lore and a stunning art direction coadiuvated by the best graphics ever seen in a console game. All of this gets even more immersive thanks to an emotional and transcendent soundtrack.
    The narrative is captivating and the plot is very complex but most of the cryptic elements are explained by the end of the story. Some of the characters are just unforgettable and the acting quality is overall amazing.
    Gameplay could result boring and monotonous if you are the kind of player who is looking for a traditional gaming experience filled with action and dynamism. It has this indie-like attitude that is very far from triple A games standard. The main mechanic is walking, so most of the engagement is given by losing yourself in the incredible atmosphere of the surroundings you got to explore and feeling that sense of travelling which Kojima has managed to recreate almost perfectly.
    It's actually true that the game loop is extremely repetitive, all the quests are going from A to B but the amazing thing is that even if I was aware of this, I never felt like I was wasting time because I was so completely absorbed. Furthermore, there's the asynchronous multiplayer and the like system which I found to be a great idea because having the chance of helping other players and be thanked for it is very rewarding. There is also some action but combat and shooting system feels a bit too simplified and not that fun, in fact during my playthrough I always preferred to avoid fights while I enjoyed stealth phases. The worst thing is the boss fight design, which is the only issue I can't forgive. Most of them are banal and too similar one to each other and even the most important ones are just disappointing. They totally lack of the cleverness that MGS boss fights had and it looks like Kojima just got lazy. Death Stranding is like a poetry or a painting but in the shape of a videogame, not everyone will appreciate it or even understand it, but it's undeniable that this is the kind of work which videogames as a medium need to be considered more than just digital entertainment. It's the kind of game that raise videogames from mere diversion to art.    … Expand

    I hate to write this because I had high hopes for Kojima's first SONY game, but he's blown it. The next game should be great if SONY has someone overseeing Kojima so as to keep him on task with making a great video game and not just an artistic video game.

    UPDATE: I've seen far too many make excuses for Kojima's Death Stranding. This is not a good video game. It scores high in every area you would expect for a video game except for game play loop which is critical to a video games success. Death Stranding would have been better as a multi-chapter highly interactive exclusive play-station movie then a video game. There’s a reason its highly rated by the official critics but not with the audience and that’s because critics are either Kojima worshipers and will declare as a masterpiece anything the guy puts out or they are so burnt out on gaming that anything that’s not like a typical video game that is also not buggy is good in their eyes. Had any other studio made this game it would not have scored near as high.

    A video game NEEDS a good game play loop and that’s something that Death Stranding is seriously lacking and that’s why its an excessively long and painful slog thru a beautiful world with damn near perfect characters and story.    … Expand

    But it is the game I most loved. But why? First of all, this is art. The story is made up with a perfect mixture of everything you can find in our existence. Our mind, emotions, but also our routine existence and our struggles. The graphics are the best in the history of videogames,    Hi world,

    First of all, this is art. The story is made up with a perfect mixture of everything you can find in our existence. Our mind, emotions, but also our routine existence and our struggles.
    The graphics are the best in the history of videogames, ultrarealistism but also surrealism moments.
    Anyway, you could say what about gameplay.
    The gameplay is HUGE. It has everything. Adventure, Stealth, Combat, Shooter, Construction, Resources Managing, Racing, Horror. And a lot of minigames.
    Thank You Kojima. This is the best game i ever played.    … Expand

    30+ hours in...This game is a piece of dog$h!t. Back and forth...and back and forth...garbage. The only redemption is completely stripping the game down and offering a dlc with entirely different ways to play in the existing environments.

    Kojima should've stayed with konami. The game is beautiful but you can clearly tell that konami carried the metal gear series. Pointless cut scenes and very very lack luster gameplay. Metal gear survive was 10 times more fun than this. Don't waste 60 bucks in this. You'd be better off paying 10 bucks.

    This game is just like a fallout without NPCs!
    It is so innovative and unbelievable that ordinary people can not enjoy.

    Debo decir que este juego decepciono bastante lo único bueno que tiene este juego son las mecánicas que tiene, el mapa es extraordinario y los gráficos sobresalen de los demás juegos, pero el juego a pasar los minutos de jugados se vuelve extremadamente repetitivo de lo único que trata el juego es transportar paquetes de un lado a otro y si quieres agarrar 1% mas de diversión puedesDebo decir que este juego decepciono bastante lo único bueno que tiene este juego son las mecánicas que tiene, el mapa es extraordinario y los gráficos sobresalen de los demás juegos, pero el juego a pasar los minutos de jugados se vuelve extremadamente repetitivo de lo único que trata el juego es transportar paquetes de un lado a otro y si quieres agarrar 1% mas de diversión puedes acercarte a los ev para poder luchar contra ellos.
    Debo creer que la gente que le da buena calificación a este juego le gusta los simuladores por que de esto va el juego algo así de Walking Simulation

    PD: no le crea a las reseñas de las paginas ni una es creíble    … Expand

    Not a disaster but not the masterpiece many credit it as. Visually gorgeous, it's very clear that the team has put in a lot of hard work creating this world and ensuring that the system holds up for it. It's just a shame the story and gameplay can't live up to it.

    Have you ever worked for a delivery service like Amazon or Fedex? No? Perfect game for you to relive the job you never had and never wanted.

Perfect game for you to relive the job you never had and never wanted. Literally a game about being a delivery boy in a post apocalyptic world. The enemies range from ghost like creatures, to humans to the real final boss... Anything that is larger than a blade of grass that you will trip over every 5 seconds if you don't mash the shoulder buttons. The gameplay is extremely dull, tedious and frustrating filled with only fetch quests and backtracking. On the plus side the game is beautiful and the environments are well crafted, the story is mildly interesting but the characters are bland only held together by the interesting actors that play them.... But it is all held back by gameplay that is HORRIBLE! Honestly, save yourself the money and just wait for someone to post all the cutscenes together on Youtube to enjoy the story without having to experience the awful gameplay yourself.… Expand

    This should have been a 10 but I can't. I have only owned the playstation brand of consoles since the Xbox 360, my pc can't run much so maybe that makes me a playstation fanboy idk. (Getting a switch for Christmas, finally, BOTW here I come)

    This walking simulator, fetch quest game which it is in essence reguardless of what you say shouts everything that I dislike about game's. But I read    This should have been a 10 but I can't.

    This walking simulator, fetch quest game which it is in essence reguardless of what you say shouts everything that I dislike about game's. But I read you gotta play it for yourself, make up your own mind. So I did and got hooked on everything I'm ment to hate.

    As a world builder I honestly think kojima is up at the top, and with his world's and stories he can realize those visions in his games. Unfortunately even with an amazing cast the delivery of these ideas fall way short. Kojima is a director, he needs writers to put his ideas in context. I understood the story he was telling, it and the conclusion was wonderful but some scene's where pure kojima and it made me angry. This is awesome dude why are you ruining it!?. Is it a lost In translation thing I don't know but it's what docks a point for me.

    I got hooked on the gameplay loop, it's addictive. Some people are alcoholics, some people can restrain that addiction. I couldn't and that's why outside of the story stuff I mentioned above this is my game of the year.

    When I wasn't playing it I was thinking about it. I get lots of games. Play them on release and some grab me some don't. But it's been 2 years since I started playing a game and I had 30 hours clocked in 3 days. I'm a busy dad I don't do that. If you didn't get hooked, addicted, sure you hate this game. It's **** everyone is sucking his *expletive*. But for the people that it did click with its brilliant. You know their are actually people out there that play 5 hours of fallout 76 every night, why, because it clicked. And if a game can click for a buggy mess why can't alot of people click with a new type of gameplay loop in a bug free beautiful landscape. He made an addictive game out of the stuff we all hate.

    It must be noted the games slow start is too slow for some. And that's fair. That 10-15hr slog at the start is a hard sell and even though the **** this **** it's ment to make you feel gets rewarded later in the game. Alot of people won't hang that long or it just doesn't *click* before then. I loved the early game and that love grew through the game so I was always going to be the perfect person for this game. Even if I don't like fetch quests and walking Sims. Who knew!

    Boss fights are epic, but not that challenging. I think he would rather have went full on postal simulator and less action part's. But maybe he felt his metal gear solid expectations ment he needed to include that style of gameplay. Mules where fun but not challenging. I just wanted to deliver stuff. BTs in the early game are intense, scary as hell but that feeling couldn't last the whole game and became a slight annoyance. But the zip line I created over the windfarm is amazing and I give them BTs the middle finger as I zoom over them with 250kg of cargo.

    The online component is genius. It's like a social site that you can only like their content. No comments, no dislike, no trolling (no review bomb). In death stranding the guy that tells me he shags my mum is liking my bridge over that river with the red markers. And I even liked his rope. Reconnect America, in this game at least he sort of is.

    Sounds great, graphics are amazing. Bug free for me on a 3 year old base PS4. Some janky animation at times but I was hitting a lot of rocks so lol.

    In conclusion I do seem to have many issues or grips with the game like many reviews had but my experience with the game was addictive, morish, I will remember my play through in 10 years time. And I'm back on it going for 100%.

    Best walking simulator ever. Keep on keeping on    … Expand

    I was skeptical with all the trailers and gameplay. When I played it, I was pleasantly surprised. Great visuals, sound design is amazing.

    Possibly one of the greatest games ever made, beautiful graphics, great story telling and an awesome gameplay loops which improves with every successful delivery. Not only do you feel like a courier on an epic journey but also like you are liberating America from its previous mistakes. 10/10 all the way !

    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.
