    A game that goes through all the emotions. a game that can do it is 10/10. There is still a visually beautiful and captivating atmosphere.

    ¡Impresionante juego y uno de los únicos que he jugado!
    Dentro del juego encontrarás muchas mecánicas, como la conexión por carretera, y ayudaría a otros mensajeros a entregar cargas, vehículos, armas, sistema de fabricación y muchas otras cosas geniales. A veces, el juego es como un simulador inmersivo, otra vez es como un juego de terror o en tercera persona

    es una experiencia fresca, no es el típico juego de disparar a lo rambo a todo lo que se mueva, es un juego de ritmo pausado, que te pone a pensar bien que movimientos hacer, muy entretenido, a diferencia de lo que los haters dicen, si tienes una ps4 deberías darle la oportunidad, es un juego muy lleno de sorpresas, excelente narrativa, excelente doblaje, excelenete música, excelentes gráficos, y un gameplay único, como nada visto en los últimos años    … Expand

Powerful story. It's time to think about the meaning of life, the problems, the story. You have time to immerse yourself, feel the world. The gameplay itself is not very complicated, often relaxed. Despite the empty world, diversity is manifested in another. This game is not really for everyone. For those who can see beauty is not only in the endless explosions and shootings. What a cool game of actors. Where else can you find such a thing?

    PS: Yeah, there's half the negative feedback in Spanish. Coincidence?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All I can say is … groundbreaking, pushing the envelope of what gaming is, its more atmospheric poetry, with layers and layers of metaphor and futurist vision, it wont appeal to traditional gamers who are still looking for standard game paradigms such as another fps looter shooter, but if your looking for something really different and inventive and cooky, it really is amazing, Its a far future dystopian vision where a dimension beyond our comprehension has invaded on our own reality, US society has broken down, where the difference between whats real and whats tech magic is heavily blurred, where humanity is surviving but not in a form that is comparable to current society, its the kind of game people are going to be debating the meaning of for years to come, and that kind of inventive futurism is worthy of investigation, the actual gameplay parts of the game revolve largely around being a foot based delivery guy in an america that feels like a permanent nuclear fallout rainy day in iceland where it has been invaded by malicious entities from another dimension that also have a reach in to the realm beyond life and the experience of human death,(im sure the delivery gameplay element to some will feel chore like, as a recalibration from the endless in your face high paced re-action), but the story and futurist vision weaved throughout is the real interest, theres so much packed in here of interest, I think this is Kojima's masterpiece, like this is the kind of game he was building up to. its gonna divide some traditional audiences I'm sure, but noone can seriously review this game as zero!?! they are literally being absurd yes its not an FPS its not MGS but get a grip, I think also there is allot of people who don't wait for user reviews before buying thinking he's going to make another MGS, then they freak out because he's made a different style of game and then leave a protest rating, 0 is not really applicable to any game? but over time I think this will be recognised as on of the most innovative game 2019 produced. Story wise its interesting and worth going through the delivery jobs to get to the next reveal, heartman being a particularly interesting character and story part, though all the characters are well done, the ending could be a bit stronger, but the story parts leading up to it make it worth it, overall a great game.… Expand

    Una obra maestra.

    Es digno de celebrar que un "triple A" sea, a la vez, un juego de autor. Esto hay que agradecérselo a Kojima y el prestigio que tiene, permitiéndole conseguir el financiamiento para llevar a cabo sus ideas. El juego va de ir de acá para allá llevando paquetes. La premisa es así de sencilla y fue motivo de burlas, pero es que es completamente adictivo. En cualquier    Una obra maestra.

    Es digno de celebrar que un "triple A" sea, a la vez, un juego de autor. Esto hay que agradecérselo a Kojima y el prestigio que tiene, permitiéndole conseguir el financiamiento para llevar a cabo sus ideas. El juego va de ir de acá para allá llevando paquetes. La premisa es así de sencilla y fue motivo de burlas, pero es que es completamente adictivo. En cualquier sandbox, la premisa es ir de A a B y que en B se dispare alguna secuencia de acción, por ejemplo. Aquí es ir de A a B, pero lo importante ES ESE VIAJE de A a B. Hay quienes se quejan de las mecánicas de combate, diciendo que son demasiado poco complejas. Es cierto, pero es que el combate no es para nada importante. El componente revolucionario de este juego es, justamente, disfrutar de ese viaje, resolviendo los desafíos que el terreno nos propone. A su vez, hacer muchos pedidos nos da acceso a nuevo equipo que (a diferencia de otros juegos como RDR2) REALMENTE es útil en nuestra aventura. No es lo mismo tener un exoesqueleto que nos permite llevar más carga y movernos más rápido que no tenerlo; no es lo mismo disponer de lanzagranadas hemáticas para defenderse de las BTs, que tener que defenderse con granadas de mano comunes, etc. Mejorar el equipo que tenemos y descubrir nuevos artefactos es un claro incentivo a explorar más el mundo y realizar más y más encargos. A su vez, a medida que avanzamos, podemos modificar ese mundo post-apocalíptico construyendo estructuras y colocando carteles con avisos que se van a compartir con los demás jugadores de Death Stranding. Estamos solos, pero a la vez estamos acompañados por otros miles de jugadores embarcados en la misma aventura y cada paso que damos, cada escalera o puente, puede sernos de mucha utilidad a nosotros y a toda la comunidad.

    Por último, a nivel narrativo, es una joya. Las primeras dos horas y las últimas 4 están muy cargadas de cinemáticas, con mucha carga narrativa (típico Kojima), pero habiendo terminado el juego después de 65 hs, puedo dar fe de que abunda el gameplay y es, posiblemente, el juego con mejor relación gameplay/cinemáticas de Kojima.

    En fin, si lo que buscan es un juego lleno de explosiones, disparos y acción frenética, en Death Stranding no lo van a encontrar y no está mal que no se sientan atraidos por la premisa. Pero no se puede negar la originalidad del juego, sus valores de producción y el respeto hacia el usuario, presentando un juego triple AAA sin microtransacciones ni mutilaciones para se luego vendidas como DLC.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can understand people who didn't like it. But I did. Yeah, it's a masterpiece.
    It has an extraordinary gameplay, even if it is a walking simulator.
    Graphics is astonishing. I didn't play alone, so, when both me and my girlfriend saw the first minutes of the game (which actually wasn't a CGI, it was a video made with the Decima Engine) we were shocked. It looked like the real captured 4K video from the drones somewhere in Iceland but once again - it wasn't.
    The story is interesting enough? Huh, it is one of the best scripts and motion capture ever! But it's not balanced with the gameplay. You walk for a couple of hours, than you watch 10 minutes of videos. Then you walk again, wow, another 20 minutes of the movie. Walking, walking, walking, and... Wait, an hour of talking between two characters? Kojima, you kidding?
    Sometimes I was mad, for example in the end of the story (as far as I thought). So, the final credits. And a CGI. Then you can walk along the beach. Another credits. Monologue. Another one. Dialogue. Video for an hour. Gameplay. Credits. Video. Gameplay. A Hideo Kojima Game. You know, it is fine. But not when it is 3 in the morning and you have to wake up and go to the university at 7AM. And the final hours of Death Stranding transfer to the next evening.
    But after all. After all these bossfights which were won after 5 or less minutes. After this empty America which can be crossed form the West to the East for less than an hour (try to cross it for the same time or faster, I'll wait). After all these "Sam", "Reconnect the America", "Make us whole again" and other things... I did love it. And cried in the end. It made me to think about something. And because of these emotions I love Kojima and his games.
    Thank you for this masterpiece. I'll be waiting you somewhere here, in Russia, once again when you''ll come with another one game which will blow my mind.    … Expand

    The game is really good despite the delivering, that gets boring, when you play it in its totality.
    But after finishing the game, I get why the progression had to be this way.
    It's not for everyone, for sure but doesn't deserve anything below a score of 7 or even 8 with no doubt.

This game instead has rich story, atmosphere, rewards for progression, plot twists, and a fantastic experience that no other game has been able to deliver me personally this year. If you want CoD reskined with a story this is not for you. Understand this is a slow game. Think of it as an onion that you must peel the layers back by hand one by one, and at the center of it all is the most delicious piece of candy you have ever had. Excellent job! However I fear this will become a cult classic and the industry will reject any further experiences like this. I am just thankful that this was something that we got even if it is temporary.… Expand

The gameplay loop is something i was really afraid of not liking when i saw the first gameplay trailer, but i ended up enjoying it intensely. It's one of the weirdest games for me to explain, when it comes to why i enjoy t so much. On paper it sounds extremely boring, but i'm completely hooked. It's so addictive to connect "America" into UCA, and it's such a joy when the cutscenes begin. I've seen alot of people talk about the need to skip minute cutscenes, such as when you go into the rec room where you sleep, shower and look at gear. It's here i have this weird feeling of letting them run, because of my long travels shipping a lot of packages to people in need. Those cutscenes are reused alot, but weirdly fitting, as the gameplay loop is the same. Gear is introduced piece meal, which makes it incredibly rewarding when you get something that eases the delivery.

    death stranding is as unique as it is divisive, and i mean truly unique; there is no other game like this one (hard to believe these days, but it’s true). the hardest part about reviewing this game is dodging spoilers; everything in this game, from the many gameplay mechanics to the “multiplayer”, to the plot, to the message, is all woven so tightly together that you almost can’t talk about one without the others, and each are almost impossible to talk about without diving deep into them

    Before you form an opinion on Death Stranding, play it for more than 2 hours. It's long as hell and demands your time, but is definitely worth it. At hour 25 it really picked up steam. But at hour 45, it blew my expectations the **** out of the water

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I didn't know what this game was all about. I just blindly jumped on the hate train which I absolutely regret. Now that I bought and that I'm actually playing the game I have to say that I'm very pleased with everything it threw at me up until now. Sure, the story is a mess at first but eventually everything will make sense, I'm pretty positive about that.

    As for the gameplay loop, it is indeed not for everyone. If you like fast paced, heavy action games in which you can unleash your inner ADHD kid, then Death Stranding is not for you. However, if you like slow paced games in which you immerse yourself and soak in the environment in combination with a very intriguing story, then this game is very well made for you! I absolutely adore the gameplay loop and something about it is strangely addicting. Also, one of the highlights of the game are the BTs. Wandering through BT territory can be very tense and gives a nice change of pace!

    Now, the reason because I don't give it a perfect score is obviously because it is NOT perfect. Sometimes, the traversal can be a bit clunky. Also, even though the story is very intriguing, I have a feeling that some elements of it are confusing just for the sake of being confusing. The thing that I hate the most though is the UI. It is incredibly un-intuitive and completely frustrating at times.    … Expand

    So the bad thing is, this is that kind of game that needs to be played for a while before you gradually discover the essence that makes this game interesting and unique. For me, this point alone is something that has caused some players (especially action genre-oriented gamers) got bored only after playing several hours and gave bad scores. BUT if you're like me and dare to "waste" 10-20 hours of your life to play this game, you'll find that this game is really addicting and challengingly fun to play (for me at least until midway of episode 3 which is where things get really interesting, considering this is the part where you acquire some cool new techs, weapons and vehicles).

    "There's no way walking through the map, delivering cargo with minimum combat actions can get interesting".
    This is also what i said to myself before I arrived to that point of the game I mentioned above, and boy I was wrong. This game has its portion of action if you want it, e.g fight MULEs and BTs with your cool weapons in open combat or stealthily knock them out (or eliminate them, if you fight BTs) and cool mini-boss fight that rewards you with resource to fabricate new equipments or build new infrastructures (highway, generator, shelter, zipline, etc) to make your journey more exciting.

    The last thing that I want to point out is, if you decide to give this game a chance, please play it online. This is where Death Stranding is all about. To connect with players around the world to help each other and progress forward.    … Expand

    GIVE IT TIME! The game unveils its mechanics very gradually, changing its gameplay style in very unique ways. Those who give low scores simply did not play it enough to see all it has to offer. It's not a common Gears or Cod, when after 1 hour you can see everything the game has to offer in terms of gameplay.

    Story, graphics, sound and all the rest can't even be commented: simply over the top.

    If you cant sit down for around 10 hours and truly give it time, don't buy it.

If you play this like a one player game without figuring out and taking advantage of the online features you will hate it. It's not meant to be played off line or single player.

    That being said, its the best game I've ever played. I say this as someone having gone from not really playing games anymore to at one point playing for 12 hours straight. Give it time and itll reward you. Play smart and it will reward you. If you wanna just check out and get happy feelings of accomplishment from the very start immediately try something else. If you want to truly enjoy this game theres a lot to like once you keep playing. Spoilers, very light: it is NOT what you get at the start. Its insane. I can see why general public vs game reviewers are so contrasting, though. People that dont need to push on might stop, which is a shame. Once it ramps up it ramps up. And once you're invested you're in it. I cant blame anyone for not wanting to continue, but I will say: you're seriously missing out not completing this.    … Expand

    The people down voting and making unoriginal comments like 'Death Stranding is an Amazon simulator' are only regurgitation their equally moronic YouTube hero's opinion. They haven't played the game and find it difficult to process any type of game that strays from the norm. They are the type of 'gamer' who viciously defends rubbish like Modern Warfare and tell those who rightly dislike the game to 'lEaRn aNd aDaPt'. They buy Ubisoft games at launch. They purchase EA games at launch. They are the dumb uneducated masses tricked into thinking their pre-installed opinions make them intelligent. They simply do not understand Death Stranding and the confusion it causes them makes them react like dumb angry apes. The anger they feel leads to them writing poor reviews in an attempt to put others off, so they don't feel alone in their shame at not having the brain power to process a piece of art.

    Death Stranding isnt for everyone. The game is a glorified delivery simulator with added mechanics and gameplay dynamic to make it a really good one. If you're gonna play Death Stranding, then you'll need ample freetime and lots of patience. It's akin to Everybody's Gone to the Rapture or The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.

If you're gonna play Death Stranding, then you'll need ample freetime and lots of patience. It's akin to Everybody's Gone to the Rapture or The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. The narrative particularly has the Kojima flavour that made his previous games so memorable. The chatarcters and the settings are hard not to love. They'll resonate with you even after 50 hours of gameplay.
    Dont know about everyone else, but me, the game was solid. Sure it gets tedious. But if you're a completionist and want to do every delivery there is, then of course it'll be tedious. Finish the main story first. You have time to do whatever after the game is over.
    Walking through scenic landscapes while planning routes , dodging BTs, soothing BB, navigating through the terrain with a low Roar track playing in the background is something else.
    The game becomes far less tedious as time progresses, literally. You'll see more and more ladders about the place, from other people. Helpful PCCs, charging stations for your bike and roads.
    I'd say in a weeks time, the while world will be populated enough.

    Why is it a 10? The gameplay is a refreshing change from the norm. At certain points it'll be extremely repetitive, at others you'll find a well done system of asynchronous online function that actually works, an unforgettable story, memorable characters, and a gameplay loop that has more depth than you'd think.

    Overall, definitely a game you'd wanna go back to, after finishing it.    … 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.
