    Siate lungimiranti! Questo è forse il primo vero tentativo di "gioco d'autore" con una copertura mediatica così importante. Apprezzate che qualcuno abbia qualcosa da dire, ogni tanto.

    Easily one of the best games of this generation. Don’t listen to the naysayers (they clearly are either just listening to the review bombers or haven’t played past the first area). It’s a different type of game. It’s not COD. It’s not Fornite. It’s not a goddamned walking simulator. What it is is an awesome gaming experience unlike anything you’ve played.

    Absolutely amazing. The slow burn is just what I wanted in a game. The setting, environments, story , music and unique gameplay are absolutely great. And the gameplay is surprisingly fun. Probably my favorite open world game to date. This is not for people who only like action filled repetitive shooters. This game is for the open-minded thoughtful players

    Ignore all the trolls who say this is a walking simulator, they clearly haven’t bothered to you know, play the game and get to chapter 3. There are bikes, jeeps trucks to help you get around plus loads of other things to help speed up Sam. Great game, fantastic to chill out too. Buy it and ignore the trolls trying to be cool.

    Translation: it is not Metal Gear, the trailers fooled me.

    So, apparently, some people don't know that youtube reviews are a thing or have come from the eighties, when we bought games without really knowing.

    This game isn't divisive. The larger portion of players have US culture shoved up so far up their asses they don't recognize the smell of feces in it anymore. When something different appears they think it's bad because it doesn't conform to the typical narrative and gameplay style. If this game was made with their mindset, Sam would be building bridges and uniting people by killing and blowing up stuff.

    instead of the actual repetitive gameplay people accuse this game of, Kojima is telling a story that uses Sam's job as courier as a framing device, while preaching about union and interdependence. No wonder the game would be 'divisive'... People from the US have convinced themselves that they are too independent and modern isolationist culture doesn't help, where people changed interrelationship with social media. Ironic, considering the game's mechanics and constant use of holography. Probably intentional.

    Complaining that the game is repetitive is akin to complaining that all you do in any game is push buttons on a controller or saying that people keep shooting each other in FPS games. Curious how this BS only surfaces when people don't like the game. It's about practical problem-solving in relation to plotting routes and getting cargo where it needs to be, while facing threats and ensuring that stuff isn't delivered damaged.

    Story-wise, it is a Kojima-brand delight.

    The graphical quality is not the best, but it is enough with the style of games Kojima has always made. There is no room to complain, with well used effects and well crafted maps and locations.

    The soundtrack shines as bright as the story.

    The only real bad thing is the asinine criticism and the fact that it is an exclusive.

Death Stranding to me is an absolute masterpiece and one of my favorite video games I've ever played. Its so freaking unique and I love it! Its such a nice of breath air from my years of shooters I've played. A common description you could see is "Death Stranding is boring" or "Death Stranding is a walking simulator". Before the game even came out even I was worried I would be too bored of the gameplay but I ended up actually loving the gameplay! To me it is fun, challenging, engaging and quite frankly addicting. I absolutely love the Social Strand System where the players structures show up in others worlds! It is such an innovative and awesome idea to me. Reaching my destination is so satisfying especially when it includes a piece of the game's amazing soundtrack. One of the best soundtracks I've ever heard! Also an underrated part of all games is the sound design, which Death Stranding also has one of the best I've ever heard. Sound design is so hard to nail down and Kojima Productions has incredible audio design and incredible artwork. At some points in the game, it is the best looking game I've ever seen. The story I also love, especially the ending. It is absolutely mind blowing to me how much effort was put in to make this world feel real. So much detail in the history and descriptions.

    I really don't have any negative aspects I can even think of. I kinda wish some of the characters were more interesting and more complex but Sam Porter Bridges and Clifford Unger, especially Cliff, make up for them. I totally understand why people don't like this game because they don't like the game play or the story is too slow or confusing for them.

    Death Stranding no es el juego a la que la industria nos tiene acostumbrados. Kojima ha creado algo críptico, un título que en mi experiencia tras jugarlo unas horas aún me tiene con varias dudas, pero a la expectativa de lo que viene.

    El título nos habla sobre la gran profundidad de la vida y la muerte, su unión y nexo del ser humano con sus virtudes y sus defectos con el mundo que lo rodea, lo ético, lo moral, en una visión dónde la ciencia, la tecnología, la filosofía incluso la física cuántica tienen una fuerte conexión a pesar de no tener la misma ideología.

    ¿Es un mundo abierto? Sin duda, con diferentes posibilidades y aunque parezca muerto tiene muchas cosas interesantes que te darán horas de entretenimiento, que van desde la gestión de tus recursos para atravesar el Estados Unidos post Apocalíptico, optar entre el sigilo o la acción cuando nos encontramos con las personas que no quieren que el mundo vuelva a ser lo de antes.

    Tendremos que elegir entre matar o no matar ya que en algunos casos esto tendrá graves consecuencias.La interfaz del juego presenta algunas carencias pero que se notan poco por las diferentes herramientas que dispondremos que nos ayudarán en nuestros viajes y que como toda interfaz compleja se va tener que ir aprendiendo poco a poco, ya que aprender bien todo el abanico del que disponemos se le debe de dar un buen tiempo.

    El motor de Guerrilla Games, el Décima Engine, fue muy bien utilizado, dándonos una joya gráfica, algo sobresaliente en las texturas, brillos y los componentes técnicos.
    El OST del título está magistralmente implementado donde cada pista tiene conexión con lo que estamos viviendo dentro del título.

    Habrá un objeto importante y vital en el juego y una empresa que trata de reconectar al mundo para volver a empezar de cero.

    Todas las zonas de acción están bien implementadas y que interactúa muy bien con el terreno que ocupa, además de que el clima será parte importante a la hora de gestionar nuestro equipamiento e incluso la parte del equilibrio del equipaje. Todo en el juego encaja perfectamente y no hay nada que sobre. No nos podemos olvidar de las armas no letales que serán de vital importancia en el combate, salvo que nos encontremos con unos entes invisibles que no nos lo pondrán nada fácil.

    Un punto muy interesante en el título Death Stranding es su participación Online, el cual nos conectará en ciertos puntos donde podemos interactuar y no sólo usar lo que otros usuarios han podido crear espacios para que nuestro viaje sea más ameno, si no que también nos invita a ser parte de esta comunidad dando varias mejoras desde exoesqueletos, estaciones de recarga, refugios y estructuras complejas para cada material. Por supuesto, el crafteo será una constante en la aventura y no solamente tendremos historia y misiones secundarias, sino otras posibilidades y varias sorpresas.

    Los Likes y las personas con las cuales conectamos, e incluso aquellas que nos siguen o seguimos, hacen de éste, un sistema complejo pero muy útil en el desarrollo del título.

    Muchos creen que el título va de ir del punto A al punto B, un grave error, ya que más allá de hacer las misiones de la historia, cada cosa, objeto, acción, cada personaje, tiene una influencia al azar en cada usuario, debo enfatizar el Azar. Un modo de juego varía el desarrollo de toda la trama de un usuario a otro, eso sí, el argumento principal, tiene cosas intocables y muy profundas como bien comentábamos, pero también tendremos plena libertad para enfocar cada situación de manera diferente.

    El sistema de combate es muy simple y esto se puede deber a que realmente casi no lo usaremos, salvo cuando entremos a ciertos campamentos o nos topemos con los entes llamados EV's, lo cierto es que habrá grandes consecuencias si llegamos a fallar, sin duda alguno que otro fallará, Death Stranding no es un MGS en cuestión de lucha, flojea en ese aspecto pero porque su fortaleza esta en los otros aspectos, por ejemplo el de Crafteo.

    Otro punto fuerte del juego y es algo a lo que ya nos tiene acostumbrados Hideo Kojima es su historia, a pesar de tener cinemáticas largas, todo es espectacular, como dije al principio, tal vez no entiendas ni jota, pero conforme avanzas y descubres de que va, te va dejando con ganas de ir sabiendo más y más.

    Algunas zonas, amplios, vastos y numerosos terrenos o parajes, se hacen un poco tediosos si no estamos preparados, y otros parajes recónditos, vacíos de vida, que es lo normal, pero todo está bien balanceado.

    La jugabilidad es exuberante y es fluida, pero todo, y vuelvo a repetir, todo, absolutamente todo, importa en el juego, hasta el peso, la naturaleza, el clima, la persona, etcétera...

    El mensaje está claro y el EQUILIBRIO, la SOCIEDAD y el DESTINO DE LA HUMANIDAD, depende de nosotros principalmente ¿O QUIZÁS NO ES ASÍ?

    Death Stranding constantly challenges your perception of what video game are about. It takes you on a spectacular journey where you, as Sam "Porter" Bridges strive to connect America again.

    Death Standing is not a game like anything else really, the pacing is methodical, the story is deep and rich in nuance and the gameplay loop is steady but rewarding. If you came to Death Stranding looking for yet another example of a modern open world game with lots of shooting you are sure to get disappointed quickly. In this game you plan your routes, take careful steps everywhere you go and above all else - strive to be the best courier the world has ever seen. What that fully entails however is for the player to experiment and explore for themselves.

    Death Stranding will NOT be for everyone, of this I'm very certain. Its core mechanics are complicated, intricate and takes both time and effort to learn and enjoy. Once you do find your own stride in this vast world you will begin to feel the weight on your shoulders and what it is to fight mother nature itself. The game throws you everywhere, literally. You've stacked your stash-tower too high because you got greedy and wanted to take several missions in one go? Well, you just fell face forward down the hill and managed to drop all your loot into the nearby lake... Oh, you think you could just run past the BT's and not care much about slowing down and finding the best way out? Boom, you just got grabbed by goo:ey monsters and now you're in a fight or flight situation for your life. Death Stranding in its essence feels like something new, something fresh and very much alive. The incredible "strand system" where others people's items and equipment travels into your wold and connect other people's progress into yours and vice versa feels absolutely amazing. Several times have I seen someone start to build a big monumental bridge so that I can help out with materials to build it up fully. Hours later you come by the same bridge and now that everyone's been chipping in with raw materials to help build it, a full community of players seem to have been using it frequently to have a safe-way path over the treacherous river.

    To end my review I just want to say that Death Stranding may be one of the strangest video game experiences of my grown up life. I will most likely not play anything like this ever again and this makes me sad knowing. The game industry, especially in the AAA-department has been feeling rather stale for years! The same ideas thrown around with the occasional golden gem getting chipped. A game like this could only be made by an incredible talent and it's very clear to me why so many industry icons feel that Kojima is on another level.

    At the end of the day games are meant to be enjoyed - For me, Death Stranding has throughout my 30+ hours been an incredible. fascinating and almost cathartic experience. I absolutely love and adore it. 10/10!

This is where the multiplayer aspect kicks in. You will never see another player, but you will encounter structures, signs and vehicles left behind by them. When you use these items you give other players likes, and that’s it. These likes have no impact on the game but helping other people and seeing your likes go up becomes addicting.

    Game of the decade material. Everything about this game is a 10 excluding driving and gun mechanics. The story will have you in tears at the end. A ending that will definitely stick with me forever.

    Driving seemed to be an afterthought when having to get over rough terrain. Shooting and aiming is ok, but small details are important, and it lacks that. No bullet holes from guns etc.

    This game was intriguing since the very first teaser: great graphics, great music, Norman Reedus, and a dark, supernatural setting of some sort. Now, 3 years later, I can finally say that Death Stranding is everything I had expected and wanted, and more.

    The game's story starts out a bit slow if you've seen the trailers, as most info is just from those, but it doesn't take long until we dive deeper into the world and story and characters of DS.
    I've come to love all characters. Not only Sam, but also Fragile, Deadman, Die-Hardman, Heartman, even Higgs, etc. They are so well designed and thought out, it was easy to be immersed and laugh and cry with them.
    The world is absolutely beautiful, and terrifying. The graphics are off the charts, and some of the cutscenes have better facial animation than even Detroit had (which is still top class in facial graphics).
    The gameplay is rather unique - and I can see that people who prefer fast paced action games, or games that are easy where you can shut off your brain and relax might not enjoy it. However, I personally am a fan of gameplay that isn't too easy, but is detailed and requires you to think or else you face consequences. It's an absolute joy to fulfil orders and travel through the world, building ladders, bridges, and more, to connect this beautiful world.
    The multiplayer aspect reminds me of Dark Souls, but is even more strictly positive. You share other players' structures and can receive their help during fights, and more.
    I've played around 100 hours until I reached the ending, and I still have many more side missions to do before I am done with this game.
    Kojima outdid himself with Death Stranding. The story is amazing and made me cry so much. The characters are lovable and smart. The gameplay is fun and relaxing at times, almost horror-game-like at others.

    I absolutely loved this game. Is it perfect? No, but there are no perfect games out there. My main critique would be that I'd have liked the side characters like Heartman to have a deeper and longer story.
    I'd give it an 8/10 objectively, but since I personally loved it, it gets a 10/10 from me.
    I'd still recommend this, if you like games that make you think and that feel, and if you are someone who enjoys dark, detailed supernatural stories, then definitely give it a try!

    PS: Please ignore the vast amount of negative reviews that just say the game is boring or a "walking simulator" - there is a big group of people who blindly hate everything Kojima just cause, they never even played the game.

    This game is different, but refreshing.

    It goes beyond gameplay, but rather it's about experience and learning via interaction with the environment, NPC, and other users per se.

    It's definitely not for everyone, but if you are one who is not afraid to go outside of the bubble, you should give it a try.

    I enjoy playing very much.But this is not the case for everyone. So you can sympathize with this negative review.It ’s just my opinion.
    Specifically, the restriction on walking has also restricted the game, which I enjoyed.
    It's not a game that kills enemies like before, so I can't recommend it to anyone who wants to do it.

The mediocre and bad scores mostly stem from folks who don't like this sort of game, which is very understandable. It's a dividing game. It's special.

    Nonetheless, the many hours I have spent with the game has been great. It’s gorgeous, the story is mysterious and the setting disturbing. Is it a game based on fast paced, adrenaline spiking action? No. Is it methodically paced, creepy and downright atmospheric? Yes. This game isn’t for those who are hooked receiving copious amounts of instant gratification nor those who simply want to tea bag other players online. You will require patience and the willingness to accept a perfect blend of story telling and gameplay. Basically, you’ll enjoy the game if you’re not a bland, bottom feeding meat head. But there are accusations of it being a ‘walking simulator’ and repetitive. I can’t argue too much here because there is lots of walking but this is evenly split up by the narrative and combat more than enough to keep the progression flowing. But the game is gorgeous and there’s plenty of challenges traversing the terrain where you almost always decide what route to take. I do however feel that the reports of ‘repetitive gameplay’ need to fall on deaf ears because it’s no where near as repetitive as sports sim games like Madden, Fifa, Football manager or shooters like Fortnite, CoD, Overwatch and numerous other games where you rinse and repeat the same maps, same game modes and same objectives. Hell, people have been performing the same old quests on WoW and other MMO’s for over a decade and racing around the same tracks in racing sims for just as long. Ultimately, I would compare this game to a great book that you’d invest your time in rather than a TV series you’ll binge watch in one day. It definitely hooks you in and has a very compelling backstory that you’ll be itching to uncover as you play. It’s not for everyone and it’s not meant to be but we do love in a culture where people want more, faster and to be rewarded for less effort. And you will need to put effort into this game. In the end, the haunting yet calming feeling of walking through the mountains alone becomes addictive in the best sense of the word. Combine that with indescribable creatures, perfectly blended horror tones throughout alongside a truly unique setting and aesthetic, then you’ve got yourself a masterpiece. My only gripe would be the desire to visit other climates but that is a minor concern on what is an overall fantastic game.

    Death Stranding is a unique game, it’s not for everyone because it’s a navigation game, not an exploration game. Kojima didn’t let go MGS because of the stealth sections and the supernatural enemies, his critic on how society is breaking apart and needs to be reconnected might no get everyone but it’s there.

    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.
