    It's impressive how the mechanics, game and level designs are in such harmony in this game. It's a mixing of creative gameplay and fantastic/mysterious story. A must play, a masterpiece.

    Death Stranding has a unique creative concept. Unfortunately, in term of game, it is not as great. I have spent like 25 hrs+ and decide not to continue.

I have spent like 25 hrs+ and decide not to continue. Unlike many reviewers who like the game, I am enjoyed the game in early chapters. Travelling to difficult terrain, weight management, fighting BT, these are fun (for a while). Story is interesting too. However, the more you play, the more of the same. Repettiveness is what killing the game. Though you will have more devices as you progress, it does not help much. The things I don't like from start are heavily cutscene and NPC talking too much. I thought it would be lesson when I continue to play more, but no, every goddamn time when you finish delivering something, NPC will always have long talk. The story also goes very slow too. Besides. reward from sidequests or helping other lost cargo are trivial.

    The most fake part of this is the mutiplayer things here. You are to believe that when you building something, others could have see what you build and then you are helping community. The true is, all of building shown are scripted, at least in some degree. I have checked info online about the system and it seems fake. Like you will never get completed build the road, because Kojima has scripted that you will only seen a part of them, you will have to build your own too. I understand his intention that he does not want the game become too easy for those who play later, but it also mean that things you build are not really to help others as you intend. Moreover, player will have to process themselves to be able to see some high tech building of others, but at that times, they might not need it anymore. I have seen few people posting about they have built all zipline to go to anywhere from anywhere, but no one see their zipline. Why should we spend time build all the road, if our effort will be partially shown to others, or not at all ?

    In sum, I like Kojima concept. Graphic is beautiful too, Cutscene and facial animation could be the best right now in the market. However, it does not succeed as game in my opinion. Repeptiveness, boring long NPC talk kill the game.    … Expand

Pretty strange story and mindblowing scenary's this is one that will be remembered for trying something new.

    They say it's a walking game but there's a lot that makes me want to keep walking, that being, connecting to other players.

    I can definately see how everyone involved poured their energy into this.
    Thank you Hideo, Norman, Lea, Mads, T. Jenkins, Margaret, Lindsey, this game blew my mind.

    Played so many bad games recently but this was a pleasent suprise along with Days Gone. I have almost no prior knowledge to Kojima other than I know that a lot of people like him for the Metal Gear Solid series.

    The graphics are great, can't wait to see the PC version, only thing I could wish for was a night and day cycle, but could he avoided it because of dark BTs, although that could pose an interesting challenge. The game is really about hoarding, getting civilization back to function and running errands which to be honest is what we do in most games. Yeah, it is repetetive and for many not very exciting, but I like it regardless. I think the cinematics are great and odd, I think the story can be interesting and very complex, maybe a bit too much. I think this is not a game for most people, it's a heavy game meaning you have to invest a lot of time, you have to enjoy playing alone and have a lot of patience building yourself up from basically nothing. I think the game is borderline genius and mad. The worst part is the ending. It is terrible and far, far too long. 7/10.    … Expand

    Death Stranding is one of the most brilliant games I've ever played. It's also probably the most divisive game I've ever seen. Either you really love it or you really hate it. Either way, this is not the game you were expecting, as there's nothing else like it. This is a game about the journey, so if you're looking for a cheap dopamine hit, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

    First of all,    Death Stranding is one of the most brilliant games I've ever played. It's also probably the most divisive game I've ever seen. Either you really love it or you really hate it. Either way, this is not the game you were expecting, as there's nothing else like it. This is a game about the journey, so if you're looking for a cheap dopamine hit, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

    First of all, this is no action game. For the most-part it's a laid-back walking simulator with open-world decisions making (route planning, mostly), community single-player (ala Journey), and long cut-scenes. I don't agree with people saying it takes a lot of patience, but its not a game you can easily brute-force your way through.

    There is combat that makes up about 10% of the game, and it is quite simple. You've got grenades, guns, and fists, not very unlike Metal Gear. It'll have you hiding behind things, advancing down corridors, unloading on enemies. Death Stranding also has stealth, whereby you'll be crawling through areas past ghosts who are rooted or patrol a small area, trying not to alert corridors of enemies, or sneaking through tall grass in the open world.

    The world design feels fantastic. It looks nothing like the continental US, but it feels so much like a real place. The graphics are some of the best ever employed. The world is a main character here, and makes up the majority of the challenge you'll be facing, which is perfect for a game about traveling across the US mostly on foot. The world is populated by lovely mountains and crags, rolling fields... The whole time I kept thinking 'Final Fantasy 15, eat your heart out', which is the closest thing I can compare it to, but that game so pales in comparison as an epic roadtrip.

    The story, for once in a Hideo Kojima game, wraps itself up and feels complete. Through most of the game it feels like a lot of symbolism and campiness, but damn does it come through in the end of tying all the loose ends together. And not at all in an obvious way. Still, there's a lot of symbolism that crosses with other Hideo Kojima games. It feels like this is the story he wanted to tell all along with the Metal Gear series. As such, the game is way more abstract than a classical adventure; more like a psychological thriller than anything in the action genre.

    The player is wrapped up and swaddled with story at every turn. This is probably the most generous game with full 3D cutscenes that's ever been made. All the characters are brilliant, and even though I spent dozens of hours with them, it left me wanting more and more of those interactions.

    The community features are brilliant. You can build bridges and ziplines for other players to use. Build them various way stations. Put warning signs for other players, ala Dark Souls (but simpler; no 'try using both hands' placemarkers). Let them use simpler tools like your ropes and ladders. You can then like the works of other players. You can also recover the lost cargo of other players or interact with their deadbodies which binds you together. Or you can request they make deliveries to you. The whole thing leaves you feeling very connected to other players in a way that I haven't seen in a game in years. Whether they placed a sign in the perfect place to help you out of an open-world chase, or they had that latter in just the right spot to avoid a ghost, it's just a flood of appreciation for other people.

    For the controls, I think people really over exaggerate that they're "bad". This is about as engaging as you can get for a game about walking. The weight of everything feels so satisfying, especially after you get exoskeletons that let you jog around with a ton of weight on your back. But it's not nearly as hard as people have said. Just holding both triggers is usually enough to keep your character stable. And the vehicles are not too difficult to control. You're not meant to drive literally everywhere, this is a game about crossing mountains. You can't cross a mountain in a van, can you? Just get out of the car/bike. I had more frustration reading the complaints of other people than I did over 51 hours playing the game.

    All in all, Death Stranding is a brilliant experience. It's by no means for everyone. If your idea of a good time is best paired with a Mountain Dew, you'll probably not like it. But if you like something that's often slow or thoughtful, and so analytical that it'd make your English teacher weep tears of joy... Play it. You'll not be disappointed. Or if you're the kind of person who likes something to do while listening to a podcast, you'll probably also enjoy the gameplay (haven't tried it). Regardless, give it a try. You'll either love it or you'll hate it, and that's not even a gamble if you wind up loving it.    … Expand

    I believe kojima has successfully made a piece of art here yet again as a video game, now true this delivery game is not excatly for everyone however where the game lacks in that kojima has spent time and effort to make a game that is worth a full 60$ and I would happily spend an extra 10 if he decides to expand it. 8/10    … Expand

    Great game, it's definitely not for everyone but history hooks you as soon as the opening credits kick in accompanied by powerful kinematics! The controls/commands may feel complex at first, but as you progress and meet certain hours of play you get familiar with each of the elements in this modern post apocalyptic game. Make sure to give it a try since it feels very different from other games!

    Is not only a game, is a entire message to the future generation of people, and games. Connection with others is the key to save the future.
    It is the only video game that not only enjoy it; it made me think, it made me look beyond, it made me excited and made me understand that all we have are the people connected to us.

    Death stranding is a game that many will enjoy and many will not, but I personally loved it and it’s themes of connection and how it’s tied into the gameplay with the network that you work to expand and the delivery’s that you make across all sorts of different environments The story is fairly convoluted up until the mid to end point where everything comes together and starts to make senseDeath stranding is a game that many will enjoy and many will not, but I personally loved it and it’s themes of connection and how it’s tied into the gameplay with the network that you work to expand and the delivery’s that you make across all sorts of different environments The story is fairly convoluted up until the mid to end point where everything comes together and starts to make sense But the game isn’t perfect it can sometimes feel like busywork and some story could probably be cut out with not much changing however I still find the gameplay to be fun imo and relaxing with a very interesting and pretty to look at environment but all in all it’s obviously a very divisive game that sets out to do something different and a story that I think is very interesting and very enjoyable to play through although some may think it’s stupid or pretentious and I can see where they’re coming from on that note so I think an 8 is a perfect score for the game objectively subjectively tho this is a 9 for me… Expand

    The fails are in the way the story is presented and the gameplay, altough it has a very cool story with a lot of interesting concepts, it fails to develope it's world building in an interesting way to the player, you don't' do stuff, you are told by other characters....basically exposition after exposition, so much so, that even your character's past is told to you by someone else in the form of exposition!

    The second thing is the gameplay, in the beginning everything is actually very interesting, you have to learn the most basic thing in a game, to walk! tha'st actually interesting, as the game progresses new mechanics are presented but, EVERYTHING never goes past the most surface - easiest level: walking, climbing, traversing the world, fighting, shooting, survivor mechanics, are all minimum, theres nothing complex, a lot of mechanics that have no real meanning, impact in the gameplay. One example: your boots can waste their durability, when that happens you will bleed, and you can die from losing too much blood, that's an interesting survivor mechanic, but guees what, YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE AN EXTRA PAIR OF BOOTS! There are many other exampels that goes the same way, a cool idea that is trivialized by the own game!!

    The game it's interesting but at the same time is not enough to be great or fails in areas that it really shouldn't. I can only hope that Sony and other big studios don't give up on weird ideas and different games because of this one.    … Expand

    Death Stranding is a very controversial game. I really love it, but wouldn't recommend it easily:

    Pros are amazing graphics, sound, atmosphere, story, message of the game itself (rebuilding America) Cons are it can easily be found VERY boring. It's basically about moving from point A to point B, with a lot of backtracking. If you fall in love with Sam Bridges, then it's a great game.    Death Stranding is a very controversial game.

Maybe not    Not without glaring flaws this game illustrates the massive growing divide within gaming as seen with its review scores.

    By itself Death Stranding is a great and complex story built around a highly repetitive and mostly tedious gameplay mechanic. That mechanic however reinforces the narrative progression.

    You see on one hand reviewers fawn over it because the story is good. Maybe not for the average summer blockbuster movie goer, but if you appreciate thought provoking, nuanced story telling with depth and complexity its one of the best stories in a video game. However to get to that content you will have to drag yourself along a particularly tedious road of repetitive and elementary game play.

    Narrative it makes perfect sense and it helps add to the world building aspect but its on par with understanding the inherent beauty of a fractal by working through the mathematical computations required to make it exist.

    On the other hand you see reviewers absolutely eviscerate it citing boring and repetitive delivery quests. These are the same types of gamers who any game you put in front of them will skip all the cut scenes to get to the game play mechanics, then wonder why the game they played was unsatisfying.

    The irony is that all game play mechanics are repetitive and tedious regardless of the game. Especially if there is no motivation to do them over and over and over again. What "fun" is there to be had in doing the same thing you've literally done a thousand times before. Einstein defined what that is quite aptly. So it is strange to see these ethletes complaining about how boring a game like this is when all they are seeking out is the most boring and uninteresting element of any video game in the first place.

    So Death stranding is a good game. It simply is not a good game for everybody. It is a good story driven game for gamers. It has absolutely nothing of interest for ethletes who are just killing time till the next CoD/D2/Forkknife patch is released.

    Ultimately the game would have been better received had it been scaled back in scope and paced better. The game is simply too long. Thus needed cutting out a huge chunk of unneeded run time for a playthrough. Somewhere at about a 10-15 hour jaunt would have been much more ideal for this sort of adventure. With such revision the public response would have been infinitely more positive than what we got.    … Expand

    Люди навооброжали себе, а это типичная игра от Кодзимы. Мне понравилось.

    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.
