    Death stranding is a unique game and thats what we need these days. It doesn’t have any bugs or huge updates and it doesn’t have micro transactions. It’s a game that is trying to be something new in the gaming industry and in really is.

No, it's the first time that I play a Kojima"s game, never played metal gear etc..
    *The things i didn't like that much:
    Although it's genre is an action general game, i'd say it has more of survival and stealth factors than actual action ones.. I had a lot of frustrating times when I was almost at the delivering point and lost just because my items got damaged from the rain or the rocky terrain, or got caught by the BT's because i didn't have that much of weapons to take them down...(Just not so rare ammo, which come together with the weapons themselves)
    The menu... Oh that was REALLY challenging to deal with.. the inventory, the way you take the the orders and you equip sam.. Yeah, a little better work on that section could give a much easier "getting familiar" with the menus of the game.
    The world... Yeah i know, it's the main theme of the game, the character's isolated profile, the fractured world, but still, from time to time it felt very repetitive having to do it over and over again in order to go to the next mission made me feel bored. As for the overall appearance and esthetics, the world of HZD (they both have been made with Decima engine) was more... alive, i ment to a day- night cycle, landscapes etc..
    Last but not least, (personal opinion) just because I'm a fan of action RPGs, I'd love it to be a little more... well action!
    *Now for the things I liked and loved:
    The game is without a doubt something new. In every way. That is very good to the alternative gamers who want to experiment with new ideas.
    I don't think i have seen better graphics (by that i mean mostly the characters models and moves) in another game, and for that it stole my heart.
    But there is more!
    The SCENARIO... It really was a masterpiece, dramatic, futuristic, with great monologues (mosty at the end of the game, don't worry *NO SPOILERS*) Left me with a bittersweet taste and had me thinking a lot! The only feeling that i'll say is that it was... "jaw dropping".

    In conclusion, I'd say this is a game for open minds and strong guts. Had such a good time and of course I'll play it again!

    So, join me to reconnect the world, tomorrow is in own hands:)

    This is a game that takes time to introduce all the mechanics and world features. The start is haunting, lonely and beautiful and gives you time to take that all in.

The start is haunting, lonely and beautiful and gives you time to take that all in. By a few chapters later the game has fully activated all its features and its true scale can be seen. I found I actually want to engage in the world rather then push the story forward. The Strand System is astonishing and the dynamic nature of it is quite staggering. I think the game pacing is very much like a gearbox, as the game progresses you move up the gears until its going full throttle. There is much to do here though, and in middle game it can almost be overwhelming at times. Its not perfect, and there certain things which can be frustrating. The balancing of the main character over terrains is troublesome until you get the knack of it, Certain modes of transport don't do well on some terrains and you can make deliveries that don't seem to accrue you any meaningful progress however none of these are major points and in a game of this scale I am honestly surprised there aren't more. I can see people playing this in several different ways which is a testament to the game. Even if it was only for the story, or even if it was only for the sheer marvel of the vistas there are many individual reasons to play Death Stranding. Its one of the most engrossing and different games I have ever played and I absolutely love it.… Expand

A través del tiempo se aprenderá y comenzará a darle sentido al gameplay y la historia, además que cuando te des cuenta de esto ya habrás pasado horas jugandolo.

    Entiendo el porque de la crítica negativa del juego, pues existen personas que solo juegan juegos de moda, hay otros que quieren todo el tiempo acción, también solo les gusta molestar y/o ni han jugado al videojuego, tan solo han visto gameplays. Y lo entiendo, pues ver un gameplay de Death Stranding sin spoiler puede ser aburrido, pues me paso con los 49 minutos en el evento de de TGS, y sentí algo de decepción, pero no fue hasta que tuve en mis manos al videojuego. Si te divertiste con Red Dead Redemption 2, TLoZ: BotW, y cualquier Souls, este juego te va a encantar, vas a entender que de jugarlo a verlo es muy diferente, tal vez hasta te cueste no estar pensando en jugar en el día, pues a mi me pasó, y desde niño no me pasaba.

    En sí, Kojima realmente lo volvió a hacer, pues con su gameplay "monótono" que no entiendes como es tan entretenido, herramientas utilizadas para distintos tipos de terrenos, equipos que te ayudan a llevar más peso, correr más rápido, y/o caminar por lugares extremadamente complicados (que ademas te sirven en los momentos de acción), equipos como armadura, armas para cada tipo de ocasión (no hay solo granadas de mano, pues hay variedad de armas, ademas de que puedes mejorarlas), momentos donde KP supo que pasaríamos por tal lugar y empieza a sonar una canción que queda excelente con el momento, gráficos de muy buena calidad, diálogos de calidad, personajes que se desarrollan muy bien, diferentes historias (unas más importantes que otras, además de que algunas se conectan directamente con la principal), sistema de vida por barra de forma no tan utilizada y no solo cubrir y recargar), construcciones que te ayudan a divertirte aun más y realizar los envíos de manera óptima, conexión a Internet de manera sincrónica muy interesante y satisfactorio al momento de tener problemas con los enemigos, enemigos variados con diferentes formas de dañarte, en vehículos se queda algo corto pero con los que hay son suficiente, manejo de materiales diferente, un poco de sigilo, jefes divertidos aunque pasables, enemigos principales con trasfondo, y sobre todo una historia que te mantendrá atento en todo momento.

    En resumen:
    Ventajas:
    +El gameplay y la historia se relacionan tan bien que sentirás que es un juego muy diferente
    +Gran cantidad de detalles tanto de personajes, lugares, objetos, con las demás personas jugando, y la historia
    +Personajes desarrollados y carismáticos
    +Gran
    +Variedad de armas (junto con sus mejoras)
    +Variedad de herramientas para el camino
    +Variedad de equipos para tu personaje
    +Variedad de construcciones para ti y las demás personas dentro del juego
    +Variedad de enemigos
    +Soundtrack excelente puesto en momentos exactos
    +Diferentes formas de llegar a un lugar depende de como seas para jugar, en sí, libertad
    +Combinación perfecta de los puntos anteriores

    Desventajas:
    -Mal física del mototriciclo en ciertos lugares
    -Interfaz confusa en las primeras horas
    -Falta variedad de la flora
    -Bases muy parecidas

    Lo neutro:
    *Algunos errores (no te afectan, de hecho te ayudan)
    *Historia adicional en texto que pudo ser mostrada de otra forma (no necesaria para entender la principal)
    *Algunos movimientos extraños en lugares muy difíciles de andar

The story is a mix of moral dilemma, existential questions, struggeling between whats real or not, even what life and death really is. I get that people can have a hard time taking everything in, but rating this game 0/10 simply because you lack sense of philosophy and artistic creativity isn’t fair. Even if you don’t get this piece of art, you should at least have the spirit to respect it!

    The story speaks to me in a way few video games has ever done. The feeling of being needed has never been bigger than in Death Stranding. What you do matter, and that gives the player a feeling of satisfaction every time you help someone out.

    If you are a creative, intellectual person, likes philosophy, existential questions and likes the complicated idea of time and space you definitly need to pick this piece of art up and add it to your collection. Close-minded people should not bother picking this up, pick up a FPS instead!    … Expand

With that being said, I want to tell you that if you play this and you’re patient or sneaky enough. You will only have a few encounter that involve gunplay or any fights. It’s up to you how you play it. It’s possible you’ll only have to shoot the bosses. This is not metal gear solid, this is a new IP. Go in with a blank slate. There’s quite a few chapters in this game, by the time I reached chapter 3 I found myself doing deliveries that weren’t progressing my story. I just found myself enjoying making deliveries and finding new paths. Gathering materials and building structures that would help others. My biggest goal ended up being as helpful as I could to people I’ll never interact with. Sure I might get some likes but that’s it.. You know what though? That felt good. This game takes away what you’re used to. Friendly competition, toxic competition, competition in general. You want to help and others love to help. There was on portion of the story that felt a little forced, without spoiling anything I’ll say it involves a junkyard. That one bit though doesn’t justify a deduction in score. This game is a 10/10 for me. A truly unique and fun experience. Too many reviews on here are from people that never played the game, or only played a few hours expecting an action packed standard AAA game. There is action, and you can seek it out if you’d like. Or you can avoid it. It’s really up to you.… Expand

    - For most gamers, this game has no respect for the pacing you know, love and expect in most games. It has little respect for teh action you love and expect in most games. It has no respect for what you are used to in games. It has no respect for any existing religious-spiritual beliefs. - In large part    I think we can add the following to what likers and dislikers have said:

    - In large part because it subverts and avoids so many familiar, predictable tropes, DS is original and occasionally inspiring. The new trope of endless comical-dangerous delivery tasks will wear thin on many players after 4-10 hours.

    - Apparently DS was a big seller in japan. Apparently Japan gamers engaged with creating-carrying ridiculously tall stacks of boxes; then, fighting the natural environment to move forward with these over almost impossible terrains. Maybe in Japan, the comical nature of moving while balancing tall stacks of boxes was funnier than in the States.

    - I vote DS's digital face performances far and away the best in games this year and maybe ever so far in games. The camera lingers on faces and for me as a guy, the long takes with the four beautiful women's faces never got old. It's that good.

    - Need a new set of metaphysics? The game sells a complex new hologram of metaphysics. It's unlike mainstream or even valid esoteric metaphysics. It's also not New Age. There's lots of uneccessary swear words. It is still atheistic. The many new and unexplained terms alone can do you in. "All The Terms You Need To Know To Start Death Stranding" by NICK STRAUB on GameInformer.com will save you hours of head-scratching, if you intend to understand the game.

    - DS is a technical marvel. HOWEVER be warned, you will spend 50% OR MORE of your play time tweaking things on inventory and equipment screens. I kid you not.    … Expand

    If you thing that does it worth to pay 60 bucks in a mailman simulator just go ahead. Otherwise, you better think twice. Kojima is a crazy dog and Sony forgot to tie him up.

    its not a bad game but also not a good one gameplay wise. the cutscenes are great and the story stunning. i really loved the plot and it was kinda mindblown.
    but the gameplay is just...lets say....kinda nothing.if this would be 10 missions like this i think most ppl could deal with it but its the whole game.

    È un gioco estremamente noioso, la storia è copiata da Horizon zero dawn, e valutarlo semplicemente perché lo ha fatto Kojima è una cavolata, se fosse stato creato da un altro produttore il gioco sarebbe stato stroncato al lancio, è letteralmente un continuo viaggio;
    Se dovessi descrivere Death Stranding in 6 parole direi solo: è una continua perdita di tempo

It wasn't almost always walking either because on multiple occasions you will be encountered by bts and you had to take care of your baby, there were raiders and you had to fight them, you had to take care of bb, you could actually drive, but the problem with the cars was that they had exceptionally low battery power but thats the point is to make many problems so that you had to improvise is what gives this game just a little touch that makes even better. What was making me confused was people reviewing on how realistic it was because they were saying it was just nonsense and none of it made sense. Most of these reviews are from people who played the game for like an our or two and gave up because they were bored or they just not good at the game, it can get boring but it has a very interesting story and gets better the more you play it trust me. it's a good game, well to me at least.IT'S NOT A WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!!!… Expand

That's definitely a thing where you can't find in any other game. Quite like this element of the game. Just receiving the notifications that you're getting likes for the tools/structures you've built on the map, sings you left for the other players, the roads that you've helped build gives you very pleasant feeling and you want more of that that's why you keep helping the others out :) I'm very glad Kojima did that game. That's coming form not a Kojima fan boy. I've only played the 5th installment in the Metal Gear Solid series and i like Death Stranding way more.

    If i could change something in that game that would be to probably make it a little bit more harder. I'm playing on Hard and i think that the whole world can be a bit more challenging. Also would be nice if Kojima threw in the mix some random events like on Days Gone

    [No spoiler]
    Yes, you heard that right, this game is hiking simulator. How is it different from Walking Simulator? In most basic term is that physic apply to your character realistically. There's no Skyrim jumping over cliff to climb it, or hovering over cliff because 1 pixel of your model is on it and the game physic treat you as 1 solid cube. If you step on 'wet' steep hill, your character can 'lost balance' and slide down hill, and you can then hit small rock during that sliding, and now your character will trip and start to 'roll' instead of sliding.

    Walking Simulator imply no planning or gameplay. But here you have to plan your route, manage your resource to get pass obstacle such as high cliff or abyss. But preparing for every situation will weight you down and may kill you because [high weight = easier to slip & higher damage when you fall down].

    I would say it's the most realistic hiking simulator game out there in the market. In term of gameplay innovation, it can be said that Kojima somehow gamify hill climbing and make it fun. But if you want some high octane action or even basic combat system, I would say skip this game.    … Expand

    Теперь по игре, БЕЗ СПОЙЛЕРОВ:
    - Благодаря актерам, персонажи воспринимаются ярче и интереснее;
    - Хорошие диалоги, которые можно слушать и в которые можно вникать;
    - Потрясающий саундтрек, красивая графика, как следствие всего этого - хорошая атмосфера.
    Все механики в игре, даже самые простые - очень приятные. Играть действительно ПРИЯТНО и интересно. Почему? Потому что это новый игровой опыт, новый игровая вселенная, новый продукт, когда вокруг одни конвейеры в одинаковых вселенных.

    Это не Uncharted, CoD или Ведьмак. Здесь свой ритм - "вертолеты не взрываются", барделей нет. Что то похожее есть в симуляторах и стратегиях (ETS, ATS и, к примеру, Cities Skylines) - геймлей разменный, даже медитативный и залипательный. Можно понять бомбление у некоторых, но кто виноват что игра не совпала с их ожиданиями?

    Как вот ты думаешь, можно ли назвать Death Stranding - блюдом в ресторане высокой кухни, которое не понравится любителям фастуфуда WoT, CoD, PuBG, Fifa, NFS, Assasin Creed, Far Cry и так далее? Я думаю можно. Это ДРУГАЯ игра. И очень хорошо, что сейчас игроделы могут делать РАЗНЫЕ игры - на любой вкус и цвет.

    ИТОГО: глоток свежего воздуха, который скрасит серые дни осени и начало приближающейся зимы.
    ПОКУПАТЬ, когда - когда ищешь новый игровой опыт, когда любишь новые миры, когда готов к экспериментам.

    Зы
    Про фастфуд не хочу никого принизить, ни в коем случае. Я играл в WoT, сейчас надоело, играю в пабг) в этом году взял PES... То есть тоже потребляю игровой фастфуд. Ведь мы допускаем, что книги и фильмы должны быть разные и сравнивать артхаус с блокбастером Марвел - глупо же, а с играми? Мне 33 года, я играл в первую калду, бэд компани, нфс и так далее. И с тех лет ничего особо не поменялось - я не про графику. Шутеры, гоночки, стратегии, симуляторы... Поэтому что то новое - это классно для меня и для тебя, надеюсь. Кстати, может это игра для уставших старперов?    … Expand

    Very interesting idea. I think that the game is perfect and ingenious. For the first time, I see that the game combines genres so well: sandbox, action shooter and horror. I played more than 60 hours and I think it takes so much time to realize the meaning of the game. I gave her the title Game of the Year.

    Just outstanding. Just perfect. I had my doubts, especially after the huge rating drop shortly after release. But death stranding is just extraordinary experience. Fantastic analysis of the most fundamental themes of human kind.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Creo que ningún juego es un 10, pero con todos los absurdos 0-4 que le están dando los haters, o gente que no entiende el juego, tendré que ponerlo como un 10 para combatir contra todos esos “mente cerradas”.

    Solo llevo como 4 o quizás más horas jugando al juego, estoy en el episodio 2, y la verdad es que estoy sorprendido con las historia que te empiezan a contar al principio, los gráficos, los bellos paisajes, y como no... el gameplay el cual hasta donde voy actualmente en el juego, es relajante gracias a los buenos soundtracks que empiezan a sonar durante un viaje, satisfactorio gracias a las mecánicas y animaciones complejas que tiene el juego, y mientras más te sumerges en la historia, más entretenido se te hace el gameplay y el juego, porque los npc que encuentras las paradas te cuentan su historia y te dicen que más gente te necesita, además de lo que te cuentan en la historia principal y etc. Pero si no tienes paciencia o simplemente eres de los que te gusta ir directamente a la acción como los juegos shooters online, rpgs, etc. Este juego quizá no te interese mucho... es más para la gente que tenga una mente abierta a la hora de jugar videos juegos, y que no solo se enfoquen en los mismo de siempre como lo acabo de mencionar.

    Todavía no puedo contar mucho, pero con el tiempo que llevo jugando, el juego me esta encantado, no puedo parar de jugarlo, es una obra única y inmensa que quizá nunca habíamos visto antes, (y eso que el juego apenas me llegó hoy), pero al parecer hay gente que no ve eso y simplemente le dan de 4 a 0 por que si (la mayoría haters), este juego es mínimo de un 8 a 9. Los que si lo están disfrutando, me alegro... y jugar todo lo que podamos!    … Expand

    A very addictive video game with a strong sense of character and story. It pushes good messages at you, personal messages and messages for humanity as a whole.

    The characters I thought would pull me out of the experience, due to them all being real people/actors, but that never happened once.
    The combat feels good, especially once you learn the tricks of the trade.
    The shadowy creatures/entities that you avoid/see/fight always keep my heart racing and breath short as I try to get through them.

    I am very happy I got this! I can't stop playing.
    The amount of side missions and structures you can build with/without people online in a Dark Souls like online mechanic where you know they're there but you can't literally see them/play with them. But they and you can interact in different ways.

    More great times to be had!    … Expand

    This game is not for any retarded fortnite/battleroyale or COD fanboys who just want to shoot and respawn endlessly in a game. This game is not perfect (8 or 9) but I am giving it 10 just because some idiots are review bombing it. The music, story and attention to detail makes it so immersive and really makes me feel as if I am really living the game's virtual world.

    Hey guys, Video Hajimbo here to talk about the best game ever made! I had such a good time on this game made by certified video game Auteur™ Hideo Kojima (which I am not). I particularly liked how he (not me) created a whole new genre of game with systems never before seen. For example, an asynchronous multiplayer, which has never been done by any game before ever, and I (and I'm sureHey guys, Video Hajimbo here to talk about the best game ever made! I had such a good time on this game made by certified video game Auteur™ Hideo Kojima (which I am not). I particularly liked how he (not me) created a whole new genre of game with systems never before seen. For example, an asynchronous multiplayer, which has never been done by any game before ever, and I (and I'm sure Kojima too, but there's no way of telling, for I - Video Hajimbo- have never met him, or have ever spoken to him) have personally checked every game to make sure that it's definitely new and original, and what can I say! It's as fresh as an onion!

    As for the actual gameplay, I hear some people just aren't finding it entertaining, and to be honest, I have to disagree. I find it rather disconcerting that they're saying it doesn't have enough action really. Something that every review has said as the sole reason for why they've given it less than a 9/10. I myself (and not Kojima, who I might add is an arthouse developer) find it extremely engaging. I come home from a hard days work paint moisture surveying for Dulux, and turn this on, and I'm instantly absorbed and find it far more engaging, although, I must say, elements of it remind me of my job, and in such moments, I would like to personally thank Kojima- and not myself- for creating such a real and tangible world that so many people (like myself, a person not even related to the unmatched genius that is director of Death Stranding- Hideo Kojima) can relate to.

    Another one of my favourite things about this game (and any Kojima game, that is to say, games made by a person who isn't me) is how subtle the storytelling is. There's such nuance to everything Kojima does. I for example had no idea that the game (despite being in the future and not having been written by me) was in fact based on modern day America, and how it's split apart. This is because the game is so nuanced and not obvious, and yet so deep.

    Finally, (another note on storytelling) I do of course have to mention the cutscenes. I see a lot of reviews complaining about the quantity and length of the cutscenes. Many have even pointed out that the basis of good storytelling in games comes from showing, not telling. I would completely disagree. In fact, I would go as far as to say that I find these comments hurtful on a deeply personal level, not that it offends me of course, as I am not the creator, that is another man who isn't me. I would say that Death Stranding employs an objectively perfect form of storytelling that makes sure every viewer is able to keep up with the incredibly powerful mind of Hideo Kojima, who I might add has an incredibly high IQ, and once received a gold star for a painting he did in Kindergarten.

    To sum it up, I would say Death Stranding is the best game ever made. It's objectively perfect in every way. It has perfect graphics, perfect sound design, perfect music (even though that wasn't all created by Hideo Kojima by himself), perfect gameplay that isn't boring, perfection of genre, as this is a new genre, and not a walking simulator, and a perfect story, with a perfect balance of cutscenes to gameplay (which is actual gameplay, and not just balancing while walking). The only improvement I'd make is to include more cutscenes. Something I would request from Hideo Kojima, if I, Midamo Kalimba was able to speak to this incredible, and not rude man.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finished it last friday after 60 hours. Those last 10 hours of the history were amazing, completely amazing. The gameplay is very fun, too. After completing chapter 2, it becomes addictive. How the game is constantly giving you tools to fight against BT's, MULES, and the terrain it's just fun. Even after completing the story i'm unlocking new things. (75 hours by now) the plot twist at the end it's just incredible, I think that this game will be a classic in a few years. The sense of traveling alone but not completely alone is heartwarming and its message it's beautiful. One of the best experiences i've played in all my life.… Expand

If this is not you type of game, consider that before reviewing it because it's a master piece on its own. It's a game to be patient, to see the evolving of a world and the characters that live in and making bounds. It's much more than 'making deliveries'. Thanks a lot for this, Kojima and staff… Expand

    This game, is as deep as you could possibly want to go into a story. But and order to go that deep you are going to need the patience required to get there. If that doesn't sound like you then this game simply isn't for you. This game for one is right down my alley for the most part but could use some fine-tuning and its core mechanics to make it even better.

    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.
