    I gave this game another chance after my 5/10 review. I put the difficulty down to very easy which has made the game a much more enjoyable experience since it basically negates all the durability systems and seems to make traversal easier. Basically hold L2/R2 to win. No matter what terrain I am on, if I hold the buttons I never fall. Graphics are still great.

Basically hold L2/R2 to win. No matter what terrain I am on, if I hold the buttons I never fall. Graphics are still great. Story is interesting so far, but jeez the cutscenes are too long. It is dumb that the music player is only available in the private room...seems like a huge oversight that you can't play the game's tracks while walking, but I guess that is what my phone is for. The real star of the game though the community involvement. There is something fun about leaving ladders and ropes behind knowing you're probably making someone else's life a little easier. Reminds of Dark Souls a little bit. I like that you can drop lost cargo at any delivery station and entrust it to another player if the intended destination is out of your way. I also enjoy delivering other people's cargo for them. The system of walking trails appearing on routes that are frequently walked is cool too. Basically this game is saved by the asynchronous multiplayer. If it didn't have this my review would probably still be at a 5. Overall after giving it a second chance and dropping the difficulty I am enjoying it a lot more because durability and traversal are basically non-issues now.… Expand

But many of the gamers out there won't even know. Why? Because this game takes effort, takes some dedication, the gamer must endure like it's main protagonist endure in the post-apocalyptic desolate wasteland of America. It takes at least a dozen hours for the story to show some skin, for the characters and the world to get into motion and it demands hours of close attention to be paid from the gamer itself, because the complexity of this Hollywood influenced undeniably japanese vision. And it will not get that amount of attention from most of said gamers. We live in those days, days like we set off in our cars to drive the kids to school, rush to the office, or take on the mall for some groceries, we consume news and human relations in quick instant portions ... where in the world of Death Stranding we won't even have our rig to ride on for starters, we have to lay down the foundations of roads from hard gathered materials for ourselves and for others, for the community, for people. Yes, it can be daunting sometimes, called like 'courier simulator', 'sherpa' or 'delivery game', 9gagged with DHL boxes and FedEx logos, but under the surface the hard strolling mean some deeper things the developer aimed at: you connect the few people who live scattered in their shelters, you discover through mud and snow and make relations, you make yourself famous and liked (here you go facebook addicts!), you solve problems, you learn, you build bridges both metaphorically and literally. And in the meantime you put together the puzzle pieces of a 30 hour long bitter-sweet sci-fi story about a cataclysm and afterlife, flesh and soul, about love and human relations, about the universe and thoughts about religion or our mere existence. And if you can't wait for it, you wil miss it. This is why Death Stranding is not for everyone and why I said many gamers won't even recognize it's values. But people should really stop burning down bridges these days and stop trolling with others who would be up for this package.

    Hear me out porters, trust me when I tell you: this game Delivers!

    Good graphics and soundtrack but the story is overly pretentious and the overly long slow cutscenes take away control from the player too often and for too long. I have been playing for 15 hours trying to rush to Ch. 3 but it's just too boring and buggy

    Me esperaba mas del maestro Kojima, el juego en si es increíblemente aburrido. Apenas llevo 15 horas de juego y el 50% es de cinemáticas algunas muy entretenidas y otras de relleno, pero el objetivo central de juego es tedioso a niveles del sopor. Es mi crítica inicinicial, espero con el paso de las horas mejore.

    Great story (if a bit cheesy), interesting world building; but a good game Death stranding is not. Gameplay MUST come first in a video GAME, and the activities here are simply B O R I N G. I don't care how good your story is, how many star-studded actors you hired. If the game's not fun, WHY BOTHER?

    Si tienes poco tiempo en tu día para jugar (menos de 2 horas) no lo recomiendo.

This game looked like it could be a masterpiece but as gameplay goes, it's far from being a masterpiece. I don't have a PS4 so I just watch someone else play it on YouTube, it looks interesting and I was on board with it but there was something in the game that keep me from watching it. The more I watch, the more I feel like I'm torturing myself to the point where I skipped to the end of the game and it was almost 2 hours from being over. I love the characters, the story, the graphics, and setting but gosh...how the game was played is annoying. It's a point A to point B game. I was really hoping this would be Game of the Year worthy, but it really doesn't look the case.… Expand

A jogabilidade é muito fluida, e responde muito bem aos comandos, com a ressalva de quando se utiliza automóveis, que parecem não desenvolverem muito bem nos terrenos mais acidentados, reagindo de uma forma um quanto estranha e até mesmo irritante, principalmente, quando se trata da moto, que muitas vezes em um insignificante desnível sofre muito para superar o “inimigo” do terreno acidentado. Já que estamos falando se terreno acidentado, se abre o gancho para falar dos cenários do jogo, simplesmente deslumbrantes e com um nível de cuidado diferenciado, a combinação dos cenários com o gráfico maravilhoso que já tinha sido visto no jogo Horizon Zero Dawn, irmãos de engine (motor gráfico) só que dessa vez ainda melhor, construíram cenários além de lindos, muito diversificados, passando de terrenos planos, para rochedos, florestas, ruínas, todos com um tom dark e pós-apocalíptico que o jogo se prepõe, e cenários que ainda conseguem ficar melhores se por ventura uma EP te pegar, tudo na volta fica totalmente diferente, parecendo até um lugar bem longe, mas tudo volta ao normal fugindo ao horizonte ou derrotando a entidade, e todos esses lugares ficam sensacionais com a adição das músicas colocadas nos momentos certos e que combinam muito bem com o tom tranquilo e lento. Lento como é o desenvolvimento do jogo, no começo é até mesmo um pouco entediante, já que o jogador tem de fazer longas caminhadas a pé, e sem muito equipamentos que impulsionem e deixem as coisas mais rápidas, porém, não muito mais tarde são introduzidos caminhonetes, motos e exoesqueletos que deixa menos complicado, porém a lentidão narrativa se estende por todo o jogo, e só acelera da metade para o fim, o que para mim não foi um incomodo, pois apesar de lenta, a trama é de excelente qualidade, e complexa com muitos plot-twists mas que em momento nenhum fica forçado ou sem sentido, mas algo que realmente me deixou surpreso foi a falta de mistério sobre o que era o jogo realmente, isso nunca passou do marketing do jogo, na verdade é tudo mastigadinho até demais, parece que o Kojima duvidava que todos iriam entender a complexidade, mas isso se torna um detalhe, que incomoda, mas não tanto.
    É um jogo excepcional com problemas que para mim foram mínimos, é claro que isso varia de quem está jogando, já que essa lentidão pode se tornar insuportável para alguns, eu recomendo, mas com essas ressalvas.    … Expand

    Un juego con un presupuesto monetario y marketing descomunal con un nivel de estafa que ofrece metacritic para poder comer del bacalao (por mucho que nos borreis los comentarios, la mierda seguira siendo una mierda aunque la pinteis de rosa, y eso se refleja en las ventas del juego que no han vendido mas que el God of War en su 4 semana)

    Diciendo lo anterior, este juego es un insulto a    Un juego con un presupuesto monetario y marketing descomunal con un nivel de estafa que ofrece metacritic para poder comer del bacalao (por mucho que nos borreis los comentarios, la mierda seguira siendo una mierda aunque la pinteis de rosa, y eso se refleja en las ventas del juego que no han vendido mas que el God of War en su 4 semana)

    Diciendo lo anterior, este juego es un insulto a la industria del videojuego, tanto por los premios entregados (que parecian los oscars de cine) como la manera de vender el juego incluso a dia de hoy por la prensa.

    El juego en si es terriblemente aburrido, cargada de una historia profunda en el sentido que tu quieras darle, por que a mi ver "unir a las personas" es simplemente juntarlas para luchar contra un mal que les perjudica (a esto se le llama "hacer huelga" en mi pais, en resumen manifestarse).

    Enviar a un repartidor de un lado a otro con varias cajas a la espalda no fomenta la unificación. La humanidad saldria fuera a enfrentarla en vez de vivir como ratas en los bunkeres que tienen por hologramas. Ese es el concepto basico de supervivencia que hemos vivido durante los albores de nuestra creación. Morir o Matar en resumidas cuentas.

    Dicho esto hablando de los graficos y banda sonora = nada que haya visto distinto de otros juegos y aunque me pongan una musica triste si no entiendo el por que de tal tristesa en el momento que me la ponen deja de ser un sin sentido. Los graficos compuestos de testuras verdes y negras no ofrecen nada mas que no nos haya enseñado un no man sky en su fase alfa.
    Una cantidad de cinematicas que son la recompensa de dar paseos de izquierda a derecha repartiendo cajas con pizzas, muñecos y skines.

    Tecnicamente vas a disfrutar mas jugando a Track Simulator que a este juego, por que hay mas obstaculos reales como las señales de trafico o otros vehiculos.

    Resumiendo un mundo muerto con un ciervo de intro el cual no volveras a ver durante todo tu trayecto. Si puedes pillalo de segunda mano y bajate del tren antes de que se estrelle, por que mas de un tarugo ha comprado este producto pensando que seria un Metal Gear VI y acabado vendiendolo en el wallapop por 70 euros con feto incluido.

    PD: si usaramos en estos game awards la misma bara de medir de death stranding con cyberpunk a cyberpunk le deberian dar un camion de premios.

    Death stranding premios:
    -Mejor actor
    -Mejor banda sonora
    -Mejor dirección (que terriblemente han confundido con director)
    ---. Aspectos que no definen lo bueno que es un juego, mas bien definen lo bueno que es una pelicula.---

    Cyberpunk 2077:
    -*Mejor actor: Keanu Revees
    -*Mejor banda sonora: Las 6 o 7 bandas compuestas por musicos profesionales de verdad los cuales son conocidos por escala mundial
    -*Mejor dirección (en que apartado?, producción por ejemplo): Hasta el punto de contratar ingenieros automovilisticos reales para desarrollar el videojuego y darle vida al mismo... mejor producción que esa...
    -Mejor juego del año
    -Mejor juego de acción

    One of the emptiest open worlds ever conceived, mouthbreather world assets such as buildings, NPCs, wildlife, etc etc are a thing of the past, now they're replaced with little trigger points for you to "stumble" and run out of stamina, generators to charge vehicles the game is just not designed to accomodate, in a bland world devoid of content.
    BUT, the lore justifies it. "It's art!"
    Gameplay is pathetic, it doesn't just figuratively spit in your face by making your endless slogs through the bland sandbox as irritating as possible, yet not deep and balanced enough to be engaging, but also has probably the most underwhelming, single-button masher, undercooked and unbalanced combat systems I've seen this generation.
    Oh and this time, "art" isn't there to convince the pseudo-intellectuals that it's simply meant to be this way.
    BTs and MULEs are so incapable of navigating their environments, of hurting the player or pose any kind of challenge that combat encounters are literally banal, WHILE the lore establishes these chickens as dangerous renegades and lovecraftian monstrosities.
    And you have a story that's convoluted, pseudo-intellectual, pretentious and dissonant beyond mortal belief.
    This is a game you watch a cutscene compliation of with your buddies to clown how bad everything about it is.
    The online element is at least somewhat refreshing, adds this sense of companionship and not being alone (and you need a LOT of that in this game).
    The graphics are nice and detailed, kind of a shame I stopped giving a **** about graphics after the PS3 era, that was probably the last time graphics were a "wow" factor for me, especially when the games supposed art direction is basically non-existent.    … Expand

    The atmosphere, music, and story this game contains is top notch. The gameplay loop is addicting and fun. I have nothing bad to say about this game, the only nit pick I could possibly say is that some characters dialog can be a bit annoying but I don't think that takes anything away from the experience overall. 10/10.

A game that asks you to travel from A----B to deliver parcels and then throws invisible ghosts and random terrorist at you because it knows that the gameplay cannot hold your interest alone and the story, you are fed hours and hours of exposition that makes no sense and doesn't move the story along in any way, there are entire chapters devoted to side characters that you don't care about and the villain wants to destroy the world because well why not, this writing is laughable, but it was the gameplay decisions that truly made me hate the experience, "oh you walked 16 hours to get here, thanks so much, would you mind walking all the way back now that you have arrived, oh and you cant fast travel because i just don't want you to".

    Death Stranding (DS) is the evidence that kojima just dosnt want to make games, he wants to make movies and he probably could do great movies if he was paired with a good editor, DS have a superb history and the cinematics and CGI for the characters are epic, but thats all the gameplay feels lazy and boring theres no challange you can literally just walk up to the next cutscene, whichDeath Stranding (DS) is the evidence that kojima just dosnt want to make games, he wants to make movies and he probably could do great movies if he was paired with a good editor, DS have a superb history and the cinematics and CGI for the characters are epic, but thats all the gameplay feels lazy and boring theres no challange you can literally just walk up to the next cutscene, which feels a little egoistic from kojima, he should have asked someone to do the gameplay direction to have a real game.

    is a shame, looks like Kojima didnt care about the gameplay, is the other extreme of MGSV which had superb gameplay but no history.

    At the end we are buying a game, not a movie so, next time kojima, please make a movie or find someone to help you out with the gameplay.

    Superb History
    Character CGI are awesome.

Whereas “regular” games needs to throw obstacles into you face, this game does the oppersite.

    Standing makes you enjoy the scenery, the loneliness that fills ud by a appreciative and helpfull connection to other players, with generosity helps to explore the world even better. Judgmentally, the game is truly appreciated by knowing the philosophical reasons, and sociological paradigme this game lays its fundation on.

    That being said:

    PROS:
    -The gameplay is addictive, and no it's not because the "like" system, it really encourages cooperation and empathy when you find useful tools put by other people in your way, you end doing the same and feeling good about it. From sharing tools to rebuild the roads, you can see how it affects other people's gameplay.
    -Graphics are top-notch
    -The story is interesting, tho this is subjective, but at least animations and character models are really well done.

    CONS:
    -The gameplay mechanics are very specific, it means variety is not the key, like popular games do (where you have a variety of mechanics or either simple mechanics), so it won't appeal a very big audience, while the mechanics themselves vary through the game, but if you don't enjoy games like JOURNEY or TRUCK SIMULATOR (with a bit of fight and stealth) and the traversals on RDR2, you might not like this game at all.

    Without spoilers. I'm 60hrs plus into this game and with each lodgement of 10hr blocks this game just keeps getting better and better. The trailers really show nothing of endgame content. A true masterclass in sound , visuals and story telling. I can say after watching all the trailers they don't even scratch the surface of how axing thus game is.

    Death Stranding its a breath of fresh air in an industry full of the same.
    Its a change of pace, delivering an incredible gameplay, that maybe could not be suited for everyone, but its no reason enough to make it a bad game. Yes, the game its about walking and delivering packages, but its not as simple as just going from A to B; Kojima and his team manages to make the world alive, the    Death Stranding its a breath of fresh air in an industry full of the same.
    Its a change of pace, delivering an incredible gameplay, that maybe could not be suited for everyone, but its no reason enough to make it a bad game. Yes, the game its about walking and delivering packages, but its not as simple as just going from A to B; Kojima and his team manages to make the world alive, the primary enemy, but at the same time, our companion.
    Little by little, the game evolves, change; giving you tools to make traversing easier but putting new obstacles in your way; never remaining the same. It is a master class on game design, and the best showcase of Kojima's abilities in this regard. Probably most people will not like this kind fo freedom, its requires time, thinking, and that is something that modern society lacks.
    But it is a rewarding system thanks to the message that the director wants to convey: we are nothing if we are alone.
    This is where the "Social Strand System" comes into play. The world is "empty" and the terrain will be a formidable foe without the necessary tools, putting a ladder in our world will make it appear in other player gameplay, and maybe that ladder will be of use to him/her. Creating and constructing things, not for the sake of ourselves, but to help other players that could make use of these things.
    It takes on the modern social network practices, and transform the negative part of it into a postive view, a world where we help others, forgetting about vanity and self indulgence; where there is no gaining in helping someone, but a like from that person.
    Hideo Kojima is an amazing director, mixing whats best from all forms of art; this work its a showcase of amazing cinematic story telling, impressive and detailed gameplay, overwhelming art direction and beautiful soundtrack.
    This is the vision, not only of a man, but all his team; a vision where we can be better persons, to destroy the walls that surrounds us, to be free, and embrace that freedom.
    Its not perfect, thats one thing for sure; but this is clearly the path that new games should take.    … 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.
