This game raises a number of questions, and makes you think about really important things, it’s a pity that stupid people don’t understand this. Thank you, Kojima.

    Let me first start out by saying that it is very evident from some of the lower scored reviews and what they are saying that they have only played the very beginning of the game or haven’t even played it at all. The first 2 episodes are rather slow, and aim to lay the foundation for the story and expose the player to the fundamentals of traversal and cargo management. Like other KojimaLet me first start out by saying that it is very evident from some of the lower scored reviews and what they are saying that they have only played the very beginning of the game or haven’t even played it at all. The first 2 episodes are rather slow, and aim to lay the foundation for the story and expose the player to the fundamentals of traversal and cargo management. Like other Kojima games this game is huge and opens up after some initial slow chapters. The sheer volume of content from customization, tools, vehicles and weapons you will come across create a varied non repetitive experience. I advise anyone to get to chapter 3 and will in to it before forming an opinion on this game. There is a lot more to it than just going point A to B. That is a review for the first chapter or so. Also like other Kojima games, new abilities, tools and customizations are not spoon fed to you, you must explore the game and help the people in this world before they return the favor and provide you with useful upgrades and tools to help you on your journey west. I very much like this approach, it makes very new tool, vehicle, weapons, etc. feel earned. There is stunning imagery, music and a fascinating story here too. There is a lot under the surface waiting to be discovered. I can say after about 12 hours in this game I feel for it the way I did for Phantom Pain. It is an amazing, detail rich, well thought game that inspires the imagination and encourages the player to really play the game.… Expand

    Fantastic world and music can't cover the lacking of gameplay. You just move back and forth between different places. The idea of using tool to help you deliver the goods looks interesting at the first 3 hours, but this system lacks of depth, you just repeat the boring errand over and over again...that;s not a right way to do a "immersive game".

It is visually beautiful, totally immersive, very imaginative and the music and audio in general are some of the best I've ever experienced in a game. Though Death Stranding is unique, it reminds me of my favourite games of an earlier era, in that it is a 'slow burn' and not everything is explained. It throws you in the deep end and doesn't contain many of the trappings of modern gaming. At the same time, the generally non-violent approach and message of the title is really refreshing and something I've wanted from AAA games for a long time (I'm aware indie games have offered alternative gaming approaches for a while, but nothing with this budget and cinematic flair.)
    It's a real shame this is being review-bombed here. The gaming looks dull on paper, but in practice is really addictive, strangely satisfying and only gets better as time goes on. The plot, world, gaming mechanisms and online aspect all fit coherently together in a cohesive and thoughtful way and point towards a unified message in a way I've not experienced in a game before. Sure, it is 'weird', but only because everything else has become pretty similar. Anyone familiar with 'harder' sci-fi ideas won't particularly struggle here. I wish games of this level of polish and originality were made more often. I've thoroughly enjoyed it, and not because I'm a Hideo Kojima 'fan' (I don't really understand being a 'fan' of any creator.) I enjoy it because it's a fresh, well-made, beautifully unique experience!    … Expand

Without Konami's editing, one can feel and appreciate Hideo Kojima's creative forces behind the Metal Gear games. Hideo Kojima likes making games with smart, gritty, story-driven missions with militaristic undertones that have protagonists fully equipped with the latest tech to get the job done. All of this manifests in Death Stranding reasonably well, with some caviats. Fantasy job-simulator games have a somewhat niche market. The experience is there, but the amount of enjoyment one gets out of the game depends on how much they like the job description. Basically, in Death Stranding, you play as a package deliverer in a post-apocalyptic world. While the job is meaningful and vital for the survival of other settlements in the world, the dangers and beauty of the world don't always make up for the tedium that being a long-haul delivery man occasionally brings with it. The experience of this game is essentially the experience of an interesting job that would never exist in our world today, what with transport vehicle technology, decent infrastructure, and the lack of an appocolypse making the concept of this game protagonists' job that much more unnecessary in a developed country. The experience of virtual hiking, on the other hand, is spirit-lifting. Long treks across vast, Iceland-like landscapes make this worthwhile for those with the patience and contentment to appreciate it.… Expand

    The gameplay is an unique experience. You need to play to judge. Just watching a gameplay dont give you the info you need to judge how each step counts and the terrain is an enemy of its own.

    There are tense and action moments too. Not just a walking simulator at all. There are stealth, action, shooting and boss battles.

    Death Stranding is the most bizarre and difficult game to describe out there, I would even consider it as a game that cannot be fully explained. I commend Kojima - the dude had a vision, went through with it and now has created one of the most discussed games of the year due to how controversial it has become, hats off for that. Not necessarily because of any political themes, but ratherDeath Stranding is the most bizarre and difficult game to describe out there, I would even consider it as a game that cannot be fully explained. I commend Kojima - the dude had a vision, went through with it and now has created one of the most discussed games of the year due to how controversial it has become, hats off for that. Not necessarily because of any political themes, but rather its gameplay loops surrounding it.

    Let me just be clear on this - Death Stranding is a game that is not for everyone. I can see why a lot find the traversal movement towards your destination boring or frustrating. The environment is gorgeous at first but gets stale after a couple of hours, and the BT encounters are too frequent. Even if you were to be caught by BTs, a few grenades usually do the job for the miniboss. Is our FedEx job designed to be tedious? Maybe.

    What annoys most about Death Stranding, however, is how little Kojima did with the gameplay loop. There are not enough varied gameplay elements to keep a player for long around, and some of these elements can even count as being intentionally tedious. Considering how long the game is, could you expect why someone would bother sticking around for 40 - 50 hours of a FedEx job with a crying baby tube in front of your chest?

    ...Exactly what happened. I can't exactly tell why I got so hooked and had fun with delivering cargo across an empty landscape, but I will try my best to explain why.

    The overworld of Death Stranding is a bit built up like a micromanagement progression system. The bumps and little obstacles along the way require smart route planning. Previous routes travelled will be shown on your map. I like this little progression system, along with managing your cargo efficiently. It always gives a little reward for the player and encourages them to think 2 steps ahead. For example, loading your cargo correctly can greatly increase your stamina, as wind and other various weather hazards can hinder or even block your way through the landscape.

    The biggest reason why I became so hooked to this game is thanks to its social system. If it weren't for that, I would not be playing it for so long. Along your journey, you can build structures to make your travel more efficient and easier. Things like postboxes, watchtowers, bridges, ropes, ladders, the list goes on. Other people have a chance to see your structures and use them to their advantage, as the same goes for you. Other structures in your world appear which you can make use of. Awarding "likes" to the player shows your appreciation for their effort to build or upgrade structures. I just absolutely love this concept, as it is a give and take scenario. I am being motivated to build structures, deliver other peoples lost cargo, and make an effort to give back what I have taken advantage of in the early hours of this game. I know that I am not only contributing to myself but actively for other people in their world as well. There are many ways to contribute towards your world and others too.

    The encounters with BTs and other various gameplay aspects, such as vehicles, power skeletons or generally helping out keep the gameplay from getting stale, although they can also be tedious to deal with when you just wish to get from Point A to B.

    Nevertheless, Death Stranding makes me feel like I am contributing to something important. Maybe not to a world many will play in, but definitely in a place where I feel like I am changing something. One step at a time.    … Expand

Casual gamers are not philosophers, nor do many of them search for deep meaning in the titles they play, so this may not suit the casual audience. For those of us who love abstract art, engaging and new takes on game play, gorgeous animation, and have a head for philosophy - this game makes sense to us, and makes us happy. Crazy to think that a game about human connection sees a division in it's audience.… Expand

    People here are making a simple mistake: this game is very atypical. It's not about combat, going so far as to actively discourage it. It's a zen experience, here to chill you out instead of wrack your nerves.

    First of all, I did not finish the game, nor am I close to half of finishing it (where supposedly becomes way more fun), but I just want to share my thoughts about it. (11 hours of game play so far and counting)

But the world is    First of all, I did not finish the game, nor am I close to half of finishing it (where supposedly becomes way more fun), but I just want to share my thoughts about it. (11 hours of game play so far and counting)

    It is not for everyone, certainly. It is tedious, slow-paced and repetitive in matters of quest objective (fetch that from here, deliver it here and there). But the world is amazing. I found so much fun in actually planning my route to avoid steep slopes or deep rivers. I'd stay 5 minutes on the map and check where I could walk to make it easier to myself. For me, it is incredible when I start doing my planned route and end up arriving without too much of a hassle, being really rewarding knowing I planned that path.

    Also I really enjoyed sorting the cargo to stabilize my gravity center. Sure, this is tedious too but when I walk 200m and almost topple and then spend a few minutes to rearrange the containers and can walk almost running, again it makes me feel better knowing that I solved a problem.

    The scenery and the graphics are amazing.

    The mechanics are new and I did not find those in any other game I played (never watched a character's urine level until now, for example). The rain and the mud it leaves behind that makes a slope way more slippery. The BTs and holding your breath not to see you.

    Also, the story captivates me. I'm always down for good in-game reading material. And Kojima delivered on this side. The cut scenes can be a little too long, especially at first when you make 5 minutes deliveries and in between them are 20 minutes or so cut scenes (I mean I can understand why some players are fed up with this part, but they should've been more patient), but it did not bother me at all.

    Regarding the other reviews: I am sad to see some of them. This game certainly does not deserve a 0 or a 1. Who did this didn't bother to try and see what the game is about and I assume they just opened it, checked that the speculation about FedEx simulator were true and then hate bombed it with negative reviews.

    On the other hand, it certainly does not deserve a 10. It is unique, sure, but it is really boring at (certain and in short span) points -- and here I mean literally walking on a plain with nothing else happening. 5 minutes of just walking.

    Therefore my review, an 8 is given as a ratio between graphics, story, mechanics and game play. The Graphics, Story and Mechanics deserve their credit, whereas Game Play while mostly fun, it lacks at points becoming too boring or tedious.

    All in all, DS is truly unique and deserves a chance if you got time (and money) to spare.    … Expand

И разработчик не обещал ураганный шутер или кровавый хак'н'слэш.
    Игры про курьера в мире пост-апокалипсиса. Целью, которого станет возрождение страны и объединение разбросанных по осколкам государства людей. Сюжетная канва строится вокруг доставки грузов и на этом зиждется основной гемплей. В это вложно действительно много внутриигровых механик. Здесь нельзя просто навалить в мнимый инвентарь коробок и зажать кнопку вперед. Каждая вещь имеет физическое положение на персонаже, каждый маршрут строится основываясь на рельефе местности. Учитывается положение тела, импульс скорости объекта, так что тебя может занести и опрокинуть, если ты слишком ускоришься сбегая с горы. Не считая естественных и агресивных врагов в окружающем мире. Ещё раз, в игре не придётся зажимать стик вперед и ждать сюжетных роликов. Да, игра начинается очень медленно, может начать казаться, что она только про ходьбу. Но нет, через некоторое время вам дадут оружие и врагов, которые стреляют в ответ. Транспорт и дороги, челендж и со-ор. К сожалению, несмотря на то, что у разработчиков был опыт игр со стрельбой в игре стрельба чувствуется какой-то искусственной. Так называемого импакта от стрельбы особо не чувствуешь. Очень свежо выглядят идеи игры. Позиционирование врагов, идеи зла и добра.
    Итог:
    Сюжет: 9/10
    Сценарий: 5,5/10
    Режиссура: 9/10

I was really expecting something more along the lines of COD based on Kojima's previous games and this is a real let down considering how far it strays from his usual themes and game design philosophy. I would have appreciated a little less Tarkovsky and A LOT more Michael Bay if that makes sense. Kojima and Sony should give up the ghost and realize what we players really want is annual iterations of the same game with slightly updated graphics, micro transaction schemes, and a lot more guns. This trash reminds me of another trash game you might remember called Shadow of the Colossus where they asked me to ride around on a horse BY MYSELF, other than the horse, and DO NOTHING for hours while I aimlessly rode around looking for giant monsters to kill. I need something a little less obtuse okay. I mean, who has time for this kind of pretentious garbage? What I really could get behind is playing the same 15/20 minute sequences on the same map for hours on end. That's what really helps me get my rocks off naw mean.

The game takes its time and certainly, the first few hours are tedious but show the players the fragility of this world and then open up completely in the rest of the game. Always go further, higher, faster, build and help other players. These are the strong points of this game. Reconnection does not only involve the game that requires you to reconnect shelters but also reconnects you with other players who are building around you, leaving you with vehicles that will help you during your journey. The mechanics are well thought out and become deeper as the game progresses. The fighting becomes more intense as you progress through the game. Package and delivery management is getting ready and requires you to take the time to prepare your equipment (rope, ladder). Do I have enough to build a bridge? can I put a zip line point? the game makes you want to deliver and build for others and I appreciate the intelligence of game design. So yes there is some concern (some graphics a little dated but still qualitative, some collision problems on the mountain climbs) and the first hours of the game are not the most fun but once you take the time to get carried away by this game you discover a real message and a lot of heart.… Expand

    Death Stranding created a new genre [props to KProd], yes a walking simulator - with lots of flavors. You are helping people not killing people. It's a good process to stimulate the goodness in you some ways. The Social/Multi helps you a lot during the game. Rewards and new functions as you progress the game - i tell you, just take a bit dip and you'll rewarded. Other explanations of the story depends on messages/interviews what they called.

    The gameplay is pretty neat - it has reality to it and some, are part of the game. Storywise - it's pretty confusing. You have to be attentive when it comes to story explanation. Combat wise is simple and great. Status system is good. Item management is somehow great and it's not annoying as it stimulates your mind. Hiking while music plays gets you in depth and feel the loneliness grit-your-teeth-move-forward.

    NPC's have lots of information, some of them less. I wished you can see them in flesh instead of holograms most of it. Weather effect is clean and "Timefall" a unique weather, ages everything that touches including your stuff and vehicles so be sure prepared on any walks. I wished you can see more people in flesh during visiting their havens or npc's who fights non-lethal on MULEs and join them. Endgame - it felt lonely but thanks to multiplayer, you're not alone you are connected.

    So far, in the end or the after game - you can have motivation to progress or not - It's still playable and you can do things for achievement purposes. I wished games like these are considered as AAA or AA games nowadays - you shoot here and there, gamble your money, story simplicity no stimulation. It's pretty generic but thanks to Death Stranding - it gave me a fresh start. It's not for everyone, if it's for you - i think you have a unique mindset to enjoy the game.

Death Stranding has a unique and innovative unique style featured as Open World Survival Simulator. All that is new is strange ... it is thought, however, that one can take the hat off of something created by master Kojima, because in 2019 it allowed us to know im different style in games, a different survival experience on the field and a splendid story that will captivate us more and more along the journey of more than 50 hours. The game is not for everyone, such as racing games, action games, simulator games, horror games, anime games and more. The gameplay is good, recreates well the simulation and the balance of the human being and the earth and makes us look at each order, tools to aid the journey very carefully. Now for those who like and value survival, Open World and a new experience? It's worth a lot but very worth it Finally, if the game has action? It has a lot. By the way try wondering if ... if you were in Sam's skin, and if you were the best to make deliveries and aim to connect the world without getting hurt, projecting the goods without being captured by bad people or dead EP's, you would perform in the field. like? Running like crazy? Trying to kill / hit the bad guys who are many and live in highly protected camps? And as for the Ep's in a real situation, what would they do ... hidden and scared certainly. In death stranding there are no "heroes" here we have to behave just as if we were there because it determines our success or death. This is the difference of a game like all others where we can be heroes or death stranding where you choose each step to the millimeter.… Expand

    Bad first, gameplay is not very adrenaline inducing , just requires constant focus and patience, so it turns off the majority , other than that everything from the soundtrack to the graphics , atmosphere, story , and the interactions with the world and characters is an extremely well made product in those aspects

    Death Stranding this is a game with interesting gameplay, whoever says anything about a courier simulator and the like, it’s not, the gameplay is interesting, but it can get bored, but it’s interesting, before each trip you think you should take what to leave since you have a limit, you cannot take everything, there are many dangers and obstacles along the way, I recommend playing at theDeath Stranding this is a game with interesting gameplay, whoever says anything about a courier simulator and the like, it’s not, the gameplay is interesting, but it can get bored, but it’s interesting, before each trip you think you should take what to leave since you have a limit, you cannot take everything, there are many dangers and obstacles along the way, I recommend playing at the maximum or pre-maximum difficulties. I won’t even talk about the plot, this is a real MASTERPIECE, and I don’t want to write with spoilers. The music in the game is magical, pleasant and soothing, what is needed for such a game. Kojima really genius.

    madly liked the diverse gameplay

    I didn’t like it:

    - not so cool plot twists

    - constant repetition of the same thoughts in dialogs and calls

    - constant calls to the main character

    - inexpressive protagonist who does not care about everything from the beginning of the game to the final credits

    But despite this, the game is my best gaming experience in the last 10 years

    I had a extremely positive experience with Death Stranding so far. People often refer to it as a "delivery simulator" and...idk why it is seen as something bad,since this is exactly the point of the game,alongside with creative items,a incredibly immersive world and a compelling story with a lot of interesting characters.

    And......surprise, surprise the game is getting review bombed by a bunch of man babies. Get a life losers. While this game isn't Metal Gear 6 it isn't the disaster the empty headed are saying it is. It's something completely new and challenging. It's weird, it's beautiful, sometimes confusing but totally Kojima and yes...it's worthwhile.

    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.
