    Not everyone's cup of tea but it certainly is mine! I love the asynchronous multiplayer and the characters are all so beautifully tragic. An innovative game and one of my favorites of all time. This is most certainly a piece of art and i appreciate it for everything it has to say.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Death Stranding is pure art. I got totally addicted to the gameplay. Kojima created a new original IP with gameplay that you never had before. This is game is not like any other one. It’s a realistic journey for the player. A journey that tells a deep intriguing story. A journey for your own mind aswell. Society today is so busy that most people won’t appreciate this game. It’s meditative, but also action filled gameplay when you meet the BT’s or other human enemies. This game deserves a lot of praise!… Expand

    It's a very different kind of videogame : But IT IS GOOD. Level design is incredible, graphics are one of the best i've seen on a regular ps4. Gameplay is weird but very fresh, stealth parts are great and happen more often than I thought so. Cutscenes and storywise, it's going to keep you hooked.

There's no zombies here, No action packed COD like action, once again, this game were meant to be relaxing and yet challenging at the same time. The challenge is how you overcome the terrain you're about to face while maintaining your cargo. Plus the existence of BT is really make this game even more frightening.

    The game looks and runs beautifully on a regular ps4. The game is a literal UPS/USPS simulator but with guns and bombs and more tools at your disposal with rhe addition of ghosts(bt's). Some people might find this boring and some people might find it satisfying to deliver the packages safely to their location.
    I believe that the people giving the game under a 6 is either a hater of kojima or just plain casual gamers who went in expecting this game to be like a ghost recon or cod type of game. Unfortunately those of you were wrong lol.
    Now, i give this game a 7.5/10 because it's repetitive nature of the beginning. And the positive of great actors, voice acting, amazing story and lack of bugs (so far after 20hrs no bugs). Other than that it's a solid game you should buy when in sale if you're skeptical. So if you read this review thank you and have a wonderful night/day.    … Expand

    Personally I give this game a 10, only giving it a 9 because it is not for everyone. This is not COD. That being said, there is action. BTs will pop up out of nowhere, and you don’t have any real way to combat them until later In the game. When you have your back loaded down and it starts to rain, it’s always a “oh crap” moment. All it takes is for one BT to get too close. Then there’sPersonally I give this game a 10, only giving it a 9 because it is not for everyone. This is not COD. That being said, there is action.

    There is a lot of walking. A lot. But th me the walking is the best part, you find lost deliveries, there’s structures you didn’t know were there. Stuff other players built, etc.

Yes, the main quests are delivering things, but the main focus is not that - the focus is on discovering new, abandoned parts of the country. and building things with the 'help' of other players. This is also very well designed as you cannot see other users buildings until you are connected to the network after your main mission. The online functions are very smart in my opinion.
    I, for one don't really like action games, but I have to say this game gives you action if you want to have it. [spoiler] If you want to play stealth, you play it. If you want to fight the BTs, you fight them. The game gives you the info/tools to do both if you wish. [/spoiler] . After chapter 3, things get rough, so only the beginning is slow.
    I don't think it's fair to give a game a bad review only after a few hours of playing.

    Adventure games are a dime a dozen. Uncharted captured action with charm while treasure hunting. The Witcher series gave you complex choices in a fantasy setting with a great world to explore. Death stranding takes you into a place unfamiliar with concepts related to gaming. .

The challenge of navigating the difficult terrain is fun and using ropes and ladders left by others players. You can also leave emojis warning other players of the dangers ahead.. at first it was difficult learning all the stuff of how to craft items and make bridges. But once you get use to it it gets fun.

    The world is bleak and depressingly empty which can detract many people as well, since the exploration isn't as rewarding as for example Legend of Zelda: BotW.

It can be slow at times but even then the camera will pull back and an amazing soundtrack will begin playing so you can just relax between the more tense sections.

    DS is such a great game. I see the trolls are hard at work though spamming the ratings with 0’s. You guys say the game is boring but will play fortnite and FPSs that are all almost identical to one another and think each one is “so great.” Y’all are the ones who are boring

    SPOILER FREE REVIEW

    This is the first time i have ever felt the need to review anything. To start off, Death Stranding is a masterpiece in story telling and gameplay! People who leave it negative reviews have either not played it or only played it for a short time. I finished the story in 45 hours doing an average amount of side missions and exploring, and to me the pacing was perfect.    SPOILER FREE REVIEW

    This is the first time i have ever felt the need to review anything. To start off, Death Stranding is a masterpiece in story telling and gameplay! People who leave it negative reviews have either not played it or only played it for a short time. I finished the story in 45 hours doing an average amount of side missions and exploring, and to me the pacing was perfect.

    The first 3 episodes will take you 15-20 hours depending on your gaming style. This part is mostly gameplay, delivering packages and understanding the game itself, i really enjoyed this part, when you’re delivering a package in the middle of no where a piece of music will randomly come in to play, and you will pan around looking at the beautiful scenery, this is when i truly got what Kojima was trying to accomplish, the first 20 hours arent for everyone, i personally hate fetch quest games, but this is something else, i fell in love with it instantly and just got it and what it was trying to give the player. The feeling of being alone, but then using other players equipment or structures really makes you grateful for what they have left behind for you to use, because of this you also do the same and get a real satisfaction when the likes pop up to tell you someone has used your ladders etc, you feel like you have helped someone along their journey, this is done brilliantly throughout the game!

    Episode 4 hits you with the first real kojima style cutscenes and story telling, feeding you more and more story and more action, the pacing really ramps up here and you start using weapons etc.

    Through episode 4-7 the gameplay gradually builds with the story, deliveries get harder, enemies get tougher, and the story comes thick and fast. Episode 7-9 again steps up the gameplay and the story now starts giving you the ‘wow’ moments kojima is known for. After episode 9 the game goes full throttle and throws non stop story at you, with amazing boss fights and even more ‘holy **** moments. It was from this point i couldn’t stop playing as the game unveils more and more of the story slowly answering your questions, the gameplay and story at this point are some of the best i’ve ever played, i was completely invested in the story, but at the same time i really didn’t want it to end! 9-15 is complete madness, loads of twists and turns along the way, and the best finale to a story i have ever seen! It left me sat staring at the credits like ‘wtf has just happened’, i was emotionally exhausted from the incredible writing of kojima!

    This has been the best 45 hours of my gaming life, and i am so glad i invested the time into the game because the reward was seeing some of kojimas best work in story telling.

    The game is a thought provoking, incredible piece of art, and if you were hyped before seeing the bad reviews and changed your mind, go and buy it! You will be so glad you did when you reach the end and feel all the emotions i did, all the wow’s, holy **** tear jerking moments are what make this game truly exceptional! Hideo Kojima is a genius!    … Expand

    The cream of the game is it's story , it is probaly the best in my time playing games , it has amazing characters and their actor's deliever a dialouge which is on a league of its own.

    But of course what is story if there is no gameplay to to experince it?
    Death Stranding's main gameplay is travesing a long barren landscape which is encapusulated by rivers , folliage , enemy camps , preppers and of course player structures. In death stranding the mechanic the keeps me coming back is the ever-changing player world , filled with bridges , ziplines and PCC's which all change the flow of the gameplay.

    That said the Game suffers from a few fatal problems.

    1) The combat is clunky and can really frustrate at times

    2) The game , especially if you play it now is kinda of easy due to all the player structures

    3) The Bosses are all defeated using the same strat

    As you can tell the fatal problem of Death stranding is it's combat which is clunky that said it is fun after all the gadgets you get but early on it can be annoying.

    Don't Rush Death Stranding and don't abandon it after a few hours of playing it is a slow burn you will truly experence this game after you complete it.

Moreover, Kojima seems to have tried to create something different rather than copy and paste many things from other games. It is so rare to see AAA games released with new game mechanics these days. What has impressed me most about this game is the semi-multiplayer world-building. You don’t see other gamers but you see their structures built. One day you have to walk all the way and go through mountains and rivers between two places, the next day you see other players have built the highway two-third of the distance between those places. Then, you decide to finish the rest of the highway, and then you see other people’s reactions by receiving their likes for your structures. This gives you a kind of satisfaction. This game seems boring when watched. However, when you actually play it, you begin to feel it attracts you to its world. The negative thing that bugs me most is the monologues of NPCs. They are repetitive so after some point, you say shut up.… Expand

    This game is definitely not for everyone, but it was for me. As a diehard Kojima fan that felt underwhelmed by the lack of story that MGS V contained I feel like Kojima just brought out an all you can eat buffet to make up for it with Death Stranding.

In short it is a “grand turismo” of walking simulator with a very decently rich story telling game.
    Around 80% of the gameplay involves player to deliver cargo from point A to point B. The rest are regular boss fights, sneaking and hiding from haunting ghost like creature, and some light third person shooting.
    Death Stranding offers a unique online gameplay that not generally seen by us in this gaming era. Most of the games out there encourage players to compete between each other for the top spot but Death Stranding encourages players to work together and helping each other through the tough and harsh world of death stranding.
    Perhaps one of the strongest selling point for me is the rich and out of this world story. It makes me cried, laughed, and even frustrated. Watching the mysteries unfold bit by bit toward the end of the game is a tread.
    It is tough to recommend Death Stranding to everyone. I would only strongly recommend to person who plays a game highly due to the rich story telling. For me, I personally think that Death Stranding is a wonderful experience that definitely made it to my top 5 game lists.

    I think a lot of reviews are from players who tried to "eat" the hole game in 9 hours and made review, without even trying to understand the storyline, and not getting the true potential behind the gameplay. Who said that this game it's monotonous are probably just too lazy to play the game... Every trip is an other experience with new possibilities to get through the new obstacles at road, and game is not easy (if you don't agree, have you even got to hell mountain?). If you want to understand the story even better you just have to read some e-mails, and if you can't understand anything till your 9 hours of gameplay don't be worried, even people don't understand the reason behind the death stranding. If you prefer shooting, the game wasn't for sure for you from the very beggining, what could you expect from kojima? Metal gear solid weren't shooters, and in fact they also had a lot of cutscenes (especially first mgs games) and not that lot of shooting, they were also steady gameplays same as Death stranidng. So if you prefer shooters, the game wasn't for you from very beggining, and seriously, don't try to play hole game in 10 hours and write a review, with time the gameplay intensifies as hell, sneaking and running aaround mule-s with weapons, shooting down bt's, it gets really intresting in time, and story? when it starts you will know one thing, you're already addicted.
    And to all people who expected rough action gameplay, man don't the game is bs just because the game is not your style of gameplay, just write a review with saying that the game is not amazing for you and if you don't like it that means this game is **** You have to see that, there are people who love this kind of gameplay, and this game is perfect for them. And one more thing, don't expect too much, instead try to not expect nothing at all this way you will for sure not be dissapointed

    Amazing fun. Best game I’ve played this year. Gives you an indescribable feeling of satisfaction when someone completes a structure you started building when you are off on a mission somewhere else. The same goes for when you build a bridge and come back later to find over 4000 likes

    This game is breath of fresh air in game industry, it's new and creative
    Playing this game is enjoyable and when music kicks in you have a great time
    BT's add a lot to the gameplay, they can destroy cities and are scarey

    The most fascinating experience of 5 last years. Atmosphere in this game gives me vibes of PS1 generation, I really felt like I was kid again. Mechanics are fresh and meditative. Characters and story are unforgettable.

    Sinceramente no pensé que me iba a gustar, termino atrapándome muchísimo (al punto de perder horas de sueño), al principio es lento, pero una vez que empiezas a obtener algunas mejoras se pone mas interesante. Lo recomiendo para aquellos viejos gamers que están un poco aburridos de las mecánicas de siempre, si uno se olvida de la controversia y de Kojima, es mejor de lo que parece

    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.
