    Death Stranding would have to be the weirdest but most addictive thing I've played. Even by Hideo Kojimas standards this is weird.

A literal baby that cries, laughs , and will give you a thumbs up that at times you have to rock to sleep or settle down.

    Es un juego que aburre sobradamente. La mecanica principal del juego es llevar mercancia del punto A al punto B, y el principal obstaculo es el entorno. Las primeras 6 o 7 horas son insufribles, donde estas mas tiempo con el mando en la mesa que en las manos, debido a las LARGUISIMAS cinematicas donde se te intenta transmitir la problematica del mundo en el que te encuentras.

El juego tiene un tiempo de juego aproximado de unas 40 horas, pero creeme, si se te hacen largas las 12 horas de un God of War o de un Assasins Creed, no vas a soportar este juego. El ritmo de la narrativa es TAN LENTO que no te entran ganas de jugar.

    Mailman walking simulator 2019. Terrible pacing, Horrendous and boring game-play. What a let down. Only pro is the Cut-scenes, save yourself the time money and watch the Cut-scenes on Youtube. Wish I didn't waste my money on this self indulgent, 60 hour walking fetch quest. Beyond me how this received a score of 83, probably boomers and Kojima fan boys.

Great sound design, a decent UI that isn’t too complicated and a gameplay loop that seems ‘dull’ at a glance but when in the midst of playing time really passes fast.

This game combines those aspects into a fascinating package and I am very pleased with what I have experienced so far (6 hours). I am blown away by the depth of the world-building, characterization, and sophistication in Death Stranding. Unsurprisingly, this level of plot construction takes some time build up, not unlike any great odyssey or large-scale fantasy. It feels not dissimilar to the vibes of Bird-Box, Postman, Final Fantasy Spirits Within. It plays a little like MGS5 without emphasizing the violence, although it has a very complex system to learn and gradually build upon. Bottom line: We have plenty of formulaic games already, I tip my hat to Kojima team for making something new and fascinating. If you don't care much for it, you have a plethora of other games to pick from.… Expand

    Basically you are a porter, delivering stuff to people around a post apocalyptic america. You have to plan routes, connect with different npc's, use vehicles, stealth through enemy camps, avoid or fight monsters/bosses. But the online play brings the real joy. Because you can build stuff in the world that makes traversal easier for you and other players. See a cliff? Place a rope so every player can use it for climbing. Its a really addicting part of the game. You really feel like you can accomplish something, working together.
    But be warned, the first chapter takes its time to explain everything to you, after that you are already mastering most gameplay concepts.

    Очень хороший симулятор курьера-грузчика. Интересный гейплей. Глубокая филосовская мысль в корне игры. Сюжет банален, но персонажи на серьезных щах отыгрывают его на все 100 кодзим из 100.

    Great game certainly not for everyone. Requires alot of patience and micromanaging. I think it's really cool how everyone is working together to build the world. The story makes you want to find out what happens next. Graphics are great and this might be the best soundtrack of this generation of consoles.

    imersivo e reflexivo, com uma mitologia intrigante que instiga o jogador a ir cada vez mais fundo acaba se tornando quase uma fábula, uma (nem tão) sutil analogia do mundo real.

    Unique, kojima has done it again. It is undoubtedly one of the best games of the generation. ths soundtrack, the world, the detail level, the history and mainly the gameplay, it is very addictive to plan your path and protect yourself from adversities during the trip. It is not a game of going from point A to point B, the beauty of this game is in the path between point A to point B, "the path"

    The story is amazing, the animations are fluid, the graphics are fantastic for a PS4, the music takes you to another world and the gameplay is surprisingly addictive. I came into this game blind by avoiding any spoilers possible and what I found is a game worth your time.

    This game is culturally relevant, and touches on existentialism, angst, and human psychology.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Death Stranding is a fantastic game with intriguing and fun gameplay, logically coherent background but too much cutscenes. I haven't played a lot of Hideo Kojima games but this one is at least way better than MGSV.

    The gameplay itself is outstanding in the whole game industry. It is indeed a misplacement to categorize it as a walking simulator which the mechanisms are almost nothing or designed solely to serve the narration (like in Edith Finch). The core playable content is like Human: Fall Flat which is an adventure with puzzles that is enhanced in freedom by a bit of physical simulation and sandbox. As the game proceeds, you will be able to use a large amount of tools with upgrades to make the delivery, and the use of them can get very deep.

    Building a world together is not a fresh idea but it can easily become homogeneous and repetitive when it comes to strategy games, or require impossible amount of resources. The game applied a smart asynchronuous online playing that implement this idea while bringing some fun from social media.

    I didn't mention anything about the soundtrack and graphics, because those are peripheral elements of a game as a kind of art. However this game is a masterpiece in interactive art. On my opinion, the best of a game them in other kind of arts is that the background and plot can be deeply embedded in the game mechanisms and in Death Stranding the relationship between them is very tight. For example, the mechanism of deleting facilities is the timefall, which also account for why you need to make deliveries in person. The growth system is well designed, unlike some media said it is nothing, the previous EXP in other games is granted the meaning of LIKES and each kind of level will give our character Sam different kinds of buffs. There are even more outstanding details that make the game coherent but I don't want to spoil them here.

    All in all, 10 for the gameplay and -1 for the cutscenes, I don't really care about the decorations on the prototype.    … Expand

    Definitely a waste of $. Good graphics and odd cinematic, but everything else is boring and stupidly over complex. You'll spend more time managing inventory and traversing overly detailed, poorly explained menus than you will actually doing something other than hold R2 or L2 to walk. The idea of different terrain aspects impeding your traversal is interesting, but Kojima doesn't doDefinitely a waste of $. Good graphics and odd cinematic, but everything else is boring and stupidly over complex. You'll spend more time managing inventory and traversing overly detailed, poorly explained menus than you will actually doing something other than hold R2 or L2 to walk. The idea of different terrain aspects impeding your traversal is interesting, but Kojima doesn't do anything else with it other than make playing the game frustrating. So much with potential, yet the worse possible execution. This game seems more like a money grab so he can start his career making cheesy movies.

    The scenery is essentially 1 color pallet per region of the same things; funky terrain in green, magenta, grey, or white. I never knew the US had so many mountains... Many of the predetermined animations for movements locks your character into a path even when you try to change directions. This leads to janky movements, odd traversal, and stupid collisions that could have been easily avoided. The world is really empty, beyond the idea of feeling alone. You never run into other couriers, even though they say they're out there. There's a deer in the opening cutscene, but there are literally no animals in the game. There was more to the world in MGSV than there is here!

    In terms of NPCs, there are "characters" in the game that you'll experience through cutscenes, but there's no one to actually interact with beyond holograms of people holed up in a random bunker. the game tries to convey a sense of being alone, but you're constantly interrupted by everyone chiming in. I guess it was too hard to animate actual interactions with NPCs. If it weren't for the few predetermined cutscene/encounters, all of the enemies could be easily avoided and overcome. The enemy AI is near non-existent, even on hard. Pretty much the entirety of quests are all the same overall; be a delivery man. Yes, there are some unique "challenges", such as not getting an item wet, or keeping it "flat". However, it's still the same crap over and over again. Very little variation, which is disappointing and adds to the tedium. Don't expect any unique quests or side storylines.

    Overall, the game get kudos for its rendering of mossy rocks and always shiny looking skin. The story is just so cheesy, and not in an artistic way. If this game didn't have the Kojima name behind it or essentially a Sony console exclusive, it wouldn't have gotten any attention. The hype was fake with this one! Keep your money and buy a game from developers that actually care about their customers.    … Collapse

    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.
