    Лучшая игра ноября! Пока сам не попробуешь, не поймёшь. Она просто другая, слегка медитотивная сюжет выдают ровно тогда когда надо. А всех мелочей не сыскать и за 50 часов. Вообщем пробуйте, создавайте новые связи

This game is a meditative experience, powered by a captivating story that only Hideo Kojima could dream up. It's rife with mystery, sometimes amusingly expository dialogue (akin to the Metal Gear Solid franchise), and is chock full of popular culture inspiration from both Eastern and Western sources.

    If Call of Duty or other AAA titles are the Avengers of the gaming world, Death Stranding is a film pulled from the Criterion Collection. It's an artistic vision that informs and leaves you with a message. It doesn't hold your hand through every cutscene, but rather expects you to pay attention and keep up. You feel like you're in the safe hands of a talented and experienced creator, and it's such a pleasure to dive deeper into the fully realized world that Death Stranding has to offer.

    But yes, if you're looking for a shoot-'em-up, high octane experience, Death Stranding is not for you. But if you're looking for a different experience, to explore a game that tries something fresh and truly relishes in it's originality, it's worth giving the game a shot.    … Expand

    Instead of liking the game, I love it!

    The first 10 hours of gameplay can be dull which I think sets place for the negative reviews. But it really is a tutorial that teaches you about the world around you and the interaction with it. If you manage to hold on the first hours, you will be rewarded, it will hook you up. Since I have enough free time, I play this game for hours non-stop and    Instead of liking the game, I love it!

    Since I have enough free time, I play this game for hours non-stop and it really got me immersed. Time flies by fast. Can't stop playing it!

    Before buying the game I was a bit skeptical about the asynchronous multiplayer, since I mostly play single player games. But it turned out really well. You will really appreciate it.

    Story is very deep. I enjoy it.

    If you have enough free time, I'd recommend to give this game a try yourself.    … Expand

    Although the gameplay of death stranding is definitely not enjoyable for everyone, the game provides a well-designed new system and a fantastic story. I would not recommend it to everyone but this game is one of the greatest games in recent years that try to explore the possibility of gaming and innovate things that are never been created before.

Having finally been released I and many others are immersed into a game that I never would have dreamed possible, let alone so addicting and fun. There is not anything like this game and I am finding it honestly difficult to put down.

    Modern games like the overwhelming and oversaturated shooters leave something more to be desired, and that is where Death Stranding comes in. Instead of fighting off other players and trying to prove a digital dominance over the other via mind-numbing twitch reflexes in a game that leaves players like myself in the dust, you can't help but become excited at a game that engages the player to try something new and to utilize something popular games tend to neglect: thought-provoking gameplay. Hideo Kojima is a man that builds things not for just senseless play that would insult people when played, but something that has seasoning and sustenance. His games usually have something important to say, be it the Metal Gear franchise's anti-nuclear stance and shady behavior of politics and such, or anything else the man has directed, you know you are in for a treat. He makes games that you can play multiple times and catch something you missed in dialogue, body language, and events with the first playthrough. There is always something to be further understood.

    If you are looking for artistic genius and something new to bring to the table, then look no further and try your hand at Death Stranding. Go into it with an open mind and intent to try something new. I pray that you will give this game a shot. I for one cannot shut up about it!    … Expand

    I was half tempted to give this game a 10 to counter act the zeros, A game to me with a zeros, means to me as if the game doesn't work, hell even a 1 Thru 3 means it's playable but is a buggy and the game may be incomplete. If you rated the game 4 or 5 at least you gave a crap to rate it some what fairly even tho the 4 rating is bit on the low side but I could not logically figure out disqualification for such a number.

    With that being side I would like to review the game by making counter points to some of low rated comment/scores Heck I might even agree.

    ----------------------
    MrDayvs -"This game is proof that GAMEPLAY in a videoGame is truly important"

    Counter point : I would argue the "gameplay" which is fun, rewarding (At Least to Connection Bond 4) slightly addicting and is integral for what the story he wanted to tell so it is important. The way I feel about the gameplay which some say is "unique" is almost akin too Harvest Moon games in my opinion in stead of farming for hours to get money, you deliver packages to get materials and new building/equipment. instead romancing and befriending villagers, your do that with cities and since you can get max bonds with every city (they give you a star to put on your leg when you do)
    -----------------------

    Tom-Pendragon -"The endless grind of walking around and watching meaningless cutscene with characthers we don't even know. There is no connections between us and Sam bridget and his friends"

    Counter Point: Most of the time doesn't need be a grind unless your going for max bonds on every city if your a completionist then yes a grind is waiting for you but most of the time drooping off one sam package order is enough to keep the story moving (but I will note I said most, since sometimes you need to do 2 sam orders)

    As for the "Meaningless cut scenes" in general I would say their is meaningless ones but most don't involve characters. Example going back to base to heal your fatigue can consist 4 mini cut scenes if you bring a vehicle to get healed and that's just to get into the room. To max your max stamina you will need to drink 3 cans and that is 3 mini cut scenes. Then leaving the base you can get 1 to 3 more mini cut scene, but I would argue that one of them the "Shared BB28 Memories" (I would like to highlight it's quoted for a reason) are not meaningless, but you can end up watching the same one over. since that is on a loop for the most part. But guess it's worth noting you can skip the mini cut scene, but I wish their was more quality to life features, like auto skip viewed cut scene and auto can feature as this just becomes tedious and might just be their to waste the players time.

    As for "meaningless cut scenes with characters we don't even know" I would argue that is the point of a cuts scenes so you can get to know them and their involvement within the story.

    One more part of his statement to pick apart "There is no connections between us and Sam bridges and his friends" Ether this reviewer is miss guided and didn't beat the game or he's telling bold face lie. When you begin the game one might feel this way but I would say what links you to Sam is the time you spent on the journey West and as for his Friend the game dose a good job of showing the links if played to completion.

    As Tubey's Review is well written and it seems like he has a better grasp of the game but I see Things I can counter point and he did give it 3 unless he changes the score once more and sadly it's so big that I may not be able to cut thru all of it but I digress.

    Tubey -" let's just say that there is zero subtlety throughout. There are characters such as Fragile and Die-Hardman - they are their names, not nicknames as you'd expect, and they are presented as such with not a hint of sarcasm or self-awareness. They simply spell out explicitly the main trait of the character. The main character is a porter who builds bridges, so naturally his name is Sam Porter Bridges. This is the level of 'on the nose' we're dealing with here"

    Counter Point: The thing I see wrong here is that Die-Hardman is a nickname but it dose show his traits but Fragile is 100% a birth given name at least that's what story seems to say and dose not highlight her traits it sort of spits in the face of that notion.

    Tubey " 10% of it is running from harmless enemies"

    Counter Point: I would say yes you run form them, but if you played on very hard, they are not harmless they could spell death easily if they catch up to you or a few stray bullets hit. But I will say the ai is stupid with Bola Gun you can hide in the grass take out the whole camp

    Well I'm running out of room so I need to end the abstract review but overall it's good game that's flawed.    … Expand

    It IS a walking simulator if you want to call it that way, the best one i ever played, because you don't just walk, you have to travel really long distances and you have to carry cargo, as well take care of Sam's health, look out for monsters, environment and even other humans, so, is not just walking as so many of the "0 score" reviews say.
    If you ever went hiking, or just walked into a valley, mountain or whatever else, you will get exactly what this game feels like. This is a first time for me.

The fact that several thousand "users" showed up with their 0's and 10's on the same day the game released is a sign Metacritic needs to move over to a verified system. Here's my no spoiler review.

    Graphics (9): One of the best looking games I've seen (rivals RDR2). I played on a Pro and experienced no frame rate issues (locked at 30). There is some pop in but it's very minimal considering the draw distances. Once or twice textures didn't load in right away. I didn't try HDR.

    Controls (8): The game has fantastic controls through the menus and traversal. The button mapping is intuitive. It controls similar to RDR2 with a weighty feel but with more contextual traversal animations that can't be canceled (i.e. stumbling). The combat controls are a little too sluggish.

    Sound/Music (10): Some of the best music I've heard in a game. Most songs are original scores. The songs are often dropped in at perfect moments to elevate the moment. The overall sound and sound effects are very well done and thorough.

    Story (9): When the game sticks to the more grounded material it is truly a work of art, but some of the more metaphysical elements are needlessly obtuse and long. But the build up and pacing is masterfully done. There are several significant plot twists. The cinematics are some of the best I've seen in a game. The main characters are very well written and voice acted with the one exception of the main villain, who is poorly developed and lacks believable motivations. A few side characters had cringe voice performances but most were good.

    Gameplay (9): This generally consists of embarking on numerous mini journeys (America's east to west coast). These journeys consist of: gather info>preparation>navigation>traversal>destination. This is a much more methodical and slower gameplay loop with only occasional action sequences. The challenge derives from proper planning and traversing treacherous terrain. The reward (fun factor) is much more psychological, where the stimulation of a "journey loop" will register with some personalities and not with others.    … Expand

    DEATH STRANDING is not a game for everyone. You probably will complain that it is too slow, or there isn't much to do other than deliveries. You might even get irritated with the fact that you have to drink monster energy drinks to replenish stamina, and do not receive a single piece of drywall to put your fist through. You'll even cry foul when you slip off a cliff carrying 150lbs ofDEATH STRANDING is not a game for everyone. You probably will complain that it is too slow, or there isn't much to do other than deliveries. You might even get irritated with the fact that you have to drink monster energy drinks to replenish stamina, and do not receive a single piece of drywall to put your fist through. You'll even cry foul when you slip off a cliff carrying 150lbs of equipment on your back and lose it all to the evil water flowing throughout. Now that you understand you are not the center of the universe in DEATH STRANDING, let's move onto how you're the center of the universe in DEATH STRANDING. The game is more or less a third person adventure with item management and terrain navigation features. At first the game starts very slow, walking everywhere you deliver random things to holograms inside waystations and the like. The opening is cinematic heavy with an emphasis on getting you confused with terms and pseudoscience that wouldn't and couldn't make sense to the uninitiated. However, things become less confusing the deeper you go,assuming you can pay attention long enough to put plot points together. The navigation is difficult at times but may be trivialized by clever placement of tools like ropes and ladders and bridges. This is intentional as the game is really more a commentary on modern society as a whole rather than a conventional video game. The act of placing a ladder to scale a cliff to ease your journey is not only a statement, but also a strand of social commentary on what it means to be human. We use tools to not only convenience our lives,but the lives of others as well. The asynchronous multiplayer accomplishes this task well. The first time you see a ladder or bridge somewhere you had difficulty crossing before,brings a sense of togetherness in that we all attempt to accomplish similar goals. I Will not touch on more than this. If you wish to find out more, I suggest you buy DEATH STRANDING and discover for yourself what it means to be human.… Expand

    REAL REVIEW:
    I have a feeling that some of the reviews here (both good and bad) are from people who have not played the game and either unconditionally hate it or unconditionally love it. For example, I can spy a few user reviews of Hideo Kojima followers who spend most of their review slating the bad ones. This is also true for bad reviews, they are following the DIVISIVE hype train and    REAL REVIEW:
    I have a feeling that some of the reviews here (both good and bad) are from people who have not played the game and either unconditionally hate it or unconditionally love it. For example, I can spy a few user reviews of Hideo Kojima followers who spend most of their review slating the bad ones. This is also true for bad reviews, they are following the DIVISIVE hype train and slating the game without any knowledge of what it actually is.

    First off, everyone is open to opinions. People are allowed to love and hate this high budget and very high profile release. I find it very unfair to developers and potential suiters to this game that people review bomb it for whatever reason. I can understand why this game can be viewed as BORING and DULL, and people are allowed to have that opinion! - I absolutely despise Overwatch, Fortnite and Apex - I believe they are dull and boring!

    Now that's out of the way - lets settle another issue - I am not a huge Hideo Kojima fan - yes I think his vision has no rival (I'm not saying his vision cannot be trumped, i'm saying the style of his vision has no rival). I am a huge fan of the metal gear series (did not buy survive), didn't like Zone of the Enders very much.

    So without further delay, here is my honest and personal review of this unique piece of art.

    When I booted up the game and saw the intro cutscene and to find a beautiful transition to actual gameplay which felt seamless, I was blown away by the beauty of its visual design and sheer attention to detail. I was also VERY confused, but I found myself itching to know more about the mysterious world of death stranding - I was already deeply (but not blindly) drawn into the game.

    The moment of the first BT encounter, the shivers down my spine and my hairs standing on end mimicking Sam's reaction to them (this is reflected in every BT encounter - I almost hold my breath in real life with the character)! Then the first score kicks in as you are walking, this is a highlight of the game and it is implemented to perfection, I could not make an argument about the quality of creative vision the developers had for this game. For visuals, audio and graphics design, this game is a top tier 10/10 - the best visuals on ps4 to date.

    But I had yet to be won over with gameplay! Sure I walked to central knot city - but this was not enough yet to captivate me. When you get sent out into the free world and make your way up and down the mountains taking on what deliveries you can, and absorbing and embodying the meaning of each and every delivery. This is when you realise the meaning of the gameplay, and this is when you start to get excited about crossing every obstacle and just exploring the world, AND most importantly connecting the broken and isolated people. This game makes you appreciate the connections to people, the positive atmosphere of making people feel connected is amazing. From hearing a reply to your voice from other players who make indentations in your gaming world, to finding a sign that tells you not to give up, just when you think you may have to ditch all of your precious cargo. Encounters with BT's are never tiresome and always make you stop and think. MULES who are crazed porters who want your cargo, chase you relentlessly (but never into BT zones). The gameplay is beautiful.

    The story is as amazing and immersing as it is daunting and confusing. You find your self itching to know more about the world, the events which have transpired AND the progression of the characters you feel an odd connection with. The actor performances here are truly stunning.

    At first glance, you think the gameplay is so disconnected from the story and the actual world. But when you actually play it, once you make a few deliveries and listen to what the story the world has to tell. You instantly feel as though there is this perfect connection between gameplay and story, and you are making that connection between gameplay and story.

    This game is an amazing experience and contrary to what some people say, I found it incredibly exciting! I highly recommend you play this game, and show other developers that we want more games like this - games that try and make a point through a harmony between story and gameplay.

Asynchronous online mode creates even a deeper experience and an incredible feeling of unity. BSO and how it is integrated in the game is brilliant. Graphics, textures are out of this world and the story and conceptual art and dream like scenes make it a masterpiece like space oddisey and pieces of art like that. I could be talking hours and hours about how brilliant this experience is indeed. It has so many brilliant layers in it.
    Thanks Kojima for this MASTERPIECE. You are a genious.    … Expand

    El juego efectivamente no es un juego para el gran público pero hay aue reconocer la originalidad del productor y es que es un juego como la copa de un pino

    I watched the first 2 hours of play on YouTube, because I will buy it on PC when it comes out. So why am I writing this review? After all, everyone is writing reviews without having played it, right?

    The direction seemed immediately top-notch, as well as the characterization of the characters. Even the music looks beautiful. The initial part of the plot looks very "crazy" and it is very intriguing, it pushes you to play it to find out more.
    Regarding gameplay, it's not for everyone, but I think it makes fun of what is boring in all other games: walking (or rather, running).
    When I play the game I will update the review, giving it 0 if it actually deserves 0.    … Expand

    Bevor man es kauft, informiert euch vorher. Das Spiel ist nicht für jeden geeignet.

    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.
