    it has a good/crazy story, presentation and art direction "superb", fun/repetitive mechanics that I truly enjoy, and the online NO/YES co-op aspect is a fresh take, I don't really play online games but this one is different and feels good, the purpose of cooperating, build relationships/strands.

    I was a though first 2 chapters, 3 onwards opens up a world of possibilities and cooperation.

    as a comment on youtube said... and I totally agree "Kojima didn't give us the game we wanted.. He gave us the game we needed.."

    The reason why this game should be rated 10/10 is because Kojima-san and his team created a new game mechanics which will give you a new video game experience. If people like Kojima would never exist in the video game industry then we all doomed to play in the clone-games like AC, CoD, etc. So yeah, we should support such games which can boost game industry with a new ideas and mechanics.

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

      But then, the story started to evolve in an incredible way and pace. It reached the highest level ever seen in both games and movies.
      I should have voted 10 due to a story deserving 12, an overall technical quality deserving 10 and a gameplay deserving 7.5 just because of the stress caused by the number of side quests.
      Considering that if you play in hard mode and only the main missions, the gameplay gets a 9, the perfect score is not an option for me.
      The genre is rather unique, the environmental interaction is the best ever made, and the plot can only be compared with BioShock Infinite's or predestination's / shutter island's / Inception's, and Kojima also created the most complete and coherent fiction world ever seen. I preferred the Metal Gear saga (I love stealth), but it's for this game that I can say Kojima truly is a genius.
      For those who hate gameplay I highly recommend seeing a "game movie" on YouTube, it's more pleasant and interesting than most Hollywood movies, anyway Death Standing Is a Must-to-play or Must-to-see    … Expand

The first 10 hours were a bit of a slog, but once the main game mechanics reveal themselves in chapter 3 one can't stop trying to connect the world to help other players. I love the way you interact with the gaming community without ever seeing them, or being brutally beaten by players that are far more skilled. Kojima and his team created something fresh and exciting and I truly hope DS will be a precursor for future games that focus on this kind of storytelling by combining current social trends with riveting character presentation. The loneliness one feels throughout the game is so fitting into today's social media world, where the hunt for likes and views quiets the humble thrive and longing for real connections. Kojima tells stories like no other and keeps this mood of reflection throughout the entire game, masterfully underscored by an amazing soundtrack.… Expand

Получился бы годный сериал на 1 сезон. Возможно, он хотел сделать гибрид сериала с игрой, как было в Quantum Break? Но там помимо сериала была еще и игра с каким-никаким геймплеем, здесь же игры нет, есть просто филлерные изнурительные хождения от катсцены к катсцене.    … Expand

It's funny to say that this incredibly weird sci-fi epic strikes me as one of the more realistic games because of its excellent mgs-like mechanics. The walking-sim complaints strike me as disingenuous: this is a creepy, emotional, stealth-survival masterpiece, where every step and decision in a treacherous post-apocalyptic world has meaning and consequence. This is obviously not a guns-blazing beat 'em up. It's a carefully plotted strategy game with new systems and a much wider emotional palette than most games. You literally "brace yourself" when things get treacherous. You hold your breath when a powerful force tries to sniff you out. You run like hell when you spot an opening. That these expertly crafted moments seem to be flying under the review-bombers' radar baffles me. If you approach this game like it's a bold and audacious sci-fi epic, and if you read up on what to expect and tune yourself to that, I think you will be blown away by the graphics, sound, and intense suspense of surviving this world and understanding its evocative mystery. It's as rich narratively and visually as any truly great sci-fi movie or story, and it is absorbing intellectually, dramatically, and comically. The game is cinematic heavy and the gameplay requires careful attention managing your inventory and choosing how to navigate the world. I love taking my time inspecting the private rooms that serve as realistic and cinematic pre-mission hubs, and I love expending suspenseful energy and thought making sure that my loadout is suited for my missions. While I'm not a huge inventory freak in rpgs, the way that the systems fit with the narrative and world constantly reward me. Even when I'm at work i'm thinking about how best to prepare to survive and complete a mission. I find it constantly engrossing, and the world begs for me to understand its secrets. I couldn't be more pleased with this game. Finally, something different, beautiful, and awe-inspiring. I hope you give it the chance that it deserves, and approach it with patience and curiosity. You will not be disappointed if you adjust your expectations just the slightest bit to something different. Personally, I think it rivals BoTW with its originality and beautiful world, and it far surpasses it with its narrative. Very well may be my favorite game ever, but I'll let time and further reflection make that decision.… Expand

I had to find my way down and try not to destroy BB or my cargo. Every delivery seems very urgent and super satisfying once completed. Especially when I’m being chased by looters trying to steal my cargo and I make a quick escape. The lore and story are fantastic and it reminds me of Abrams “Cloverfield” kind of stuff. I love this game and am addicted. No hype here, I am no fan boy and in fact not a huge fan of the metal gear series. I don’t fall for hype. I just enjoy video games and honestly this game is refreshing. My back log is huge and I’m currently in Luigis Mansion 3, Astral Chain, DMC5, Code Vein and Pokemon Shield.

The amazing story telling and superb acting, transitions and gives life to some arduous and earnest yet incredibly satisfying gameplay. Gameplay that utilizes (like no game has before) it’s harsh yet stunning environments, which is itself brought to life with perhaps the best looking graphics on a PS4 game to date. The extremes in emotion a player will go through while playing this game will range from peaceful and calm to nervous and tense and everything in between. It always left me wanting to find out what’s gonna happen next. Furthermore, the “Social Strand” system is not only a shining light for the game, but an undoubtedly important message to everyone across the world that, we are in fact, stronger if we work together. If there are people who haven’t played this game because they are still on the fence about it, I strongly encourage them to give it a try. It’s a game you’ll need to play in order to know what it’s really all about.… Expand

Yeah they are fetch quests, but I never had so much fun doing a fetch quest! The whole balance and cargo configuration is definitely game changing. I can feel the new genre Kojima was talking about. This is not a simple "walking simulator", it is an engaging, terrifying, beautiful and emotional experience. It is a refined Kojima game, at its best. I got the same feeling I did when I first played MGS back on the PlayStation, Where as that was a stealth game, this is a delivery game. However, where MGS stealth was straight forward, DS is so much deeper in gameplay. It i amazing how reactive the terrain is to Sam. I could really feel all of the obstacles you have to traverse through. The sound is amazing, and very creepy. The music is very serene and touching, matching the story very well. You can really tell that a lot of effort was put into the sound and music of this game. While people say it is a boring slow paced game, they are probably used to hyper fast games like Fortnite or Overwatch. I say this because I felt the pacing was perfect. You were given time to get used to the mechanics, and explore the world that is simply breath taking. There was lots of story and rest in between, and going to Sam's room always felt meaningful and welcome, after a long journey. This has been a needed breath of fresh air, as games have become the boring same old crap, that I feel like I have played the same game over and over. This gives me hope, that if successful, will inspire more triple A titles to take a chance on something new. The only downside I could say that exists, is that we are going to have to wait at least 3 or 4 more years for a sequel..... I really hope they release some DLC story content that fills in that gap. I am a Kojima fan boy, through and through, but I was still worried in the end that it would not live up to the hype. For me, it did that at the very least.… Expand

    Luring groups of bandits, or MULES, to a patch of tall grass and beating them down one by one and taking their stuff and their truck then driving it back to base on a road i built with other players was the most recent fantastic accomplishment.

    A large crowd of players might be disappointed because it's not more like MGSV, it really more closely resembles "Journey" in my opinion.

    The Gameplay is basically a metaphor for how we, in real life, have become so fragmented and divisive, and how we need to reconnect or risk extinction as a species.

    It's a more quiet contemplative experience, much like meditation. Meditation may not be for everyone, but it is good for the soul.    … Expand

    I think that the game ia not for everyone, because its a paced game and you discover the story slowly as you play. The BTs are amazing enemies and give chills sometimes.
    The construction of the map is amazing, mainly when you até delivering goods or free roam.
    The pace is very good for the timing that the game delivers.

    I still have not finished the game, I have thirty hours of play, and overall I love the game, but I still have some criticism.
    Many critics talk about a walking simulator, while the interest lies in everything that revolves around, what is intriguing in a hike is not simply to reach the goal but the hike itself, and in such a rich world it makes the experience really unique.

    I love Kojima's touch, his sense of detail, his power to transport the player to another world. He takes the risk of proposing something new and for me the bet is successful.
    The systemic side of the game offers really extraordinary experiences, I had sensations that had never felt in any other game.

    Now I still have some severe criticism, especially on the physics of vehicles, which seems to me too rigid and capricious.
    Another point that almost ruin all my gaming experience is the interface, which is really overloaded, and which is not very big sometimes becomes unreadable.
    There is a sense of information spam at the beginning of the game that could repel some player.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm addicted to this game. I've clocked 55 hours and is currently on chapter 6. There's is actually a LOT you can do, see, learn, and explore. It's not just a walking simulator like many people are trying to hate it for. All these people are hoping the game be something that it isn't. I can see why some people won't like the game, but the length some people go to HATE on the game is very unwarranted.

    All these people giving it anything less than a 2/10 is a hater. I can guarantee it. I've read over a few hundred bad reviews and they ALL say the same things without providing much explanation or elaboration: It's a "Walking simulator" or "It's boring" or "It's over-hyped'

    No, it's not a walking simulator, that's an oversimplification. Call of Duty is just a "Gun Simulator." Super Mario is just a "Jumping Simulator" and Tetris is just an "Organizaing Simulator." It says nothing. They're missing the forest for the trees. The game started VERY slow and boring, seemingly because of poor design. However, 10-15 hours in it picks up drastically. Once the game picks up I became appreciative of the boring 10-15hr start. I realized that the beginning was designed for you to feel lonely, weak, and slow with struggles.

    The story is not too complex but is very interesting and unique. It's not cliche or "rinse and repeat" type of story. Overall this game is doing it's own thing and not trying to be something else. The heart of this game lies in the background: being alone but not feeling alone. It's not meant to be another typical shooter or hack-n-slash game that is all flashy but not substance. I find the most fun in helping other players, making their journey easier while exploring new and breath-taking territories. I love the rush of the challenge each new landscape brings.

    People who like fps or hack-n-slash won't like this game. People who like puzzle, adventure, survival, and networking will like this game. The one thing that is for certain is it is not the easiest game starting out which is partially why the reviews are so polarizing. I can see many people quitting the game before it gets better. For me, I'll probably easily spend over 100hrs at the rate I'm playing.

    There are a TON of reasons why this game is better than it's not and people are too quick to overlook that.

    PROS:
    - Amazing cinematography, animation, graphics.
    - New gameplay style.
    - Attention to details, humor, sarcasm, jokes, and secrets.
    - Unique and clever combat and strategy. (You can throw a blood grenade, then shoot real bullets through it to coat it in blood, turning a normal gun into a "blood" gun that can damage BTs.
    - Very cool and interesting world design. Rain, sun, snow, rocks, etc all have a role to play. Each slope, hill, mud, and rocks have different feel, risk, and factors that you have to consider when passing through. Unlike most games where you just run to your destination without any thought.
    - Amazing like and networking system that make you feel like you're contributing to something more although you're playing alone.
    - Great music and sound.
    - A TON of game play.
    - The list goes on and on

    CONS:
    - Can get repetitive at some points.
    - Slow starting
    - The chiro network locations feel a bit random and inorganic. A photographer lives alone in -30 temperature, a doctor lives on the side of a mountain, a collector is somewhere near a bunch of BTs and a voidout for no reason.    … Expand

    NO theres no point in creating some wild conspiration theories… explanation is really simple. No small part of gaming community is still just as toxic, immature and dull as ever.

    This game just keeps calling to me to play more, There is ferrying of gear no doubt, if you use tools, thinking ahead it does make the trips must faster. I have seen people stream and what takes me 5-10 minutes takes them 45 or more. You can't hate the game because you walk the wrong direction or don't use a ladder.

I have seen people stream and what takes me 5-10 minutes takes them 45 or more. You can't hate the game because you walk the wrong direction or don't use a ladder. When I travel from place to place there are always things to do, crystal gathering, rainstorms among others to break up the walking gameplay and before you know it you are at your next drop to progress the story and learn new skils to help you progress. Game is beautiful and atmosphere and story keep you wanting more. The menu system sucks to learn, but not worth a point subtraction.

    I do understand that every game is not for every person, but this game is no where near a 0 even if you don't like to walk anywhere in any game,

    I certainly have enjoyed it thus far and look forward to the second half of it. Unlike most games of the recent past the game is constantly pulling me back in. To me that hook is something great and will likely be one of the few completed games in a huge library of half finish titles.    … Expand

    This game gives me a feeling i can't describe. I love it. I think this is one of those games that you either love or hate. 10/10

    Entendo que não e um jogo para todos, mais ambientação, trilha sonora, história me surpreendeu bastante, e pra mim um dos melhores títulos desse ano.

    I'm currently really enjoying this game.the music is great and I usually dont like video game music..probably because my first language isn't English. But music is great , the graphics are amazing even on my base ps4. The story is really weird and complex which is great because every time I feel like I have the game figured out I come to find out how wrong I was.lol o by the way not muchI'm currently really enjoying this game.the music is great and I usually dont like video game music..probably because my first language isn't English.

    So i was sitting on the fence with this one, do I, don't I? Do i want to walk for 40 hours, the answer is Yes! Yes i do. I cant tell you why i want to the game is simple. You are a lonley fed-ex man, and you must walk from one side of Norway oh sorry America to the other doing some stuff along the way.

    Death Stranding is a unique experience that I haven’t been able to put down. I find the game to be very enjoyable and rewarding. Its a game that I dont want to end. With most games I am trying to speed through to get to the end or get to the next part of the story, but I’ve found Death Stranding to be one of the very few games I just want to enjoy and take my time with.

Ive been playing for 20-30 hours and I’m only on Episode 3, and theres still so much to do and build if you are interested in building things to help other players. It makes me angry that haters zero bomb and low ball their review scores. So many haters for a great game and its really not fair for people to give it such low scores just because its not their cup of tea. This game is not for everyone. We should reward delevopers for taking risks, and if you dont like it at least give it a fair review. This games does not deserve any of the negative reviews. If people want developers to take big risks and do something new they shouldnt punish those who try. In my book this game is a huge success. It reminds me a lot of MGS V in the style and the way the game is set up. The game really rewards players for all the extras they take on to help others. I like that the game has so much more to it than combat. We need games like this for diverse experiences. Personally I would give the game an 8/10 but due to all the zero bombers I’m giving it a 10. The story is weaved creatively. I like that we are always getting cutscenes even during the less important side missions.… Expand

    One of my favorite games the multiplayer aspect is interesting the story and graphics are fantastic and I love getting better gear to explore and adventure further into the world. (I would like to point out that you get a motorcycle pretty early on so it's not a walking simulator.)

    I've only gone 30 percent of the game, but I'm excited. The game has a lot of standard mechanics, even more completely new and unusual. It's that feeling when the game is unique. I feel like a kid with PlayStation 1, when in every game you learned new mechanics and rules. Did not regret the purchase. The game is not for everyone, because there are no games that will suit everyone.    RU/EN

I feel like a kid with PlayStation 1, when in every game you learned new mechanics and rules. Did not regret the purchase. The game is not for everyone, because there are no games that will suit everyone. So always see the description and reviews.

    Confused media reviews that put low scores on the game, all had the words "the game did not meet expectations" or "high expectations were not justified". A good journalist should not set expectations, but should look at the game with an open mind.

    Я прошел только 30 процентов игры, но я взволнован. В игре много стандартной механики, еще более совершенно новых и необычной. Это то чувство, когда игра уникальна. Я чувствую себя как в детстве с PlayStation 1, когда в каждой игре вы узнаете новые механики и правила. Не пожалел о покупке. Игра не для всех, потому что нет игр, которые подойдут всем. Поэтому всегда смотрите описание и отзывы.

    Смутили обзоры СМИ, которые ставили низкие оценки игре, все имели говорили "игра не оправдала ожиданий "или"высокие ожидания не оправдались". Хороший журналист не должен писать рецензию исходя из ожиданий, но должен смотреть на игру непредвзято.    … Expand

    Это лучшая игра в которую я играл. Настолько глубокого и шедеврального сюжета ни в одной другой игре вы не увидите. Те, кто пишут обзор и ставят 0 после 2 часов геймплея, просто абсолютно ничего не понимают в хороших играх. Игра раскрывается после 15 часов игры, люди которые начали в нее играть - пожалуйста, пройдите ее полностью, финал вас поразит и вы будете делиться эмоциями со всемиЭто лучшая игра в которую я играл.

Будете рассказывать родителям про человека о котором они впервые слышат, будете рассказывать им про до жути непонятный сюжет (пока сам не начнешь в это играть). Мне очень стыдно за часть игрового коммьюнити, которое не может оценить поистине шедевральную игру лишь из за своей умственной неполноценности. У меня на этом всё.

    please MT admins delete these obvious zeros from the trolls. Positive reviews have grown in recent days, but ratings have dropped from 7.1 to 6.4. This game doesn't deserve it. Thank you.

    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.
