    I think at this point everyone knows about Kojima's love for cinematics in video games. We've seen him come forth before the game came out that it won't be to everyone's liking, and that kind of honesty from a video game developer in 2019 is scarce, and for that fact alone I think the game is worth picking up.

    In a nutshell, if you're the kind of gamer that enjoys slow-burners, amazing

    In a nutshell, if you're the kind of gamer that enjoys slow-burners, amazing cinematics and strong story telling, and don't mind some of the repetitive gameplay (which, personally so far, it doesn't seem to affect my enjoyment), then you should definitely give this game a try!

    I like the story even though it may be confusing at times, but there is an explanation to why it's there or why it isn't. Sure this game is grindy but it's fun carrying out orders. For me anyway. Love this game, hope people can try to understand it a little better.

    Este juego me a atrapado.
    Creo que la gente que no lo valora es porque lo ve como un accion y aventura pero no lo es y tampoco lo pretende ser, si hay accion pero no esta para dificultarte el camino sino para hacerte perder tiempo y plantearte si merece la pena pasar o rodear el campamento.

    Brilliant game. Anyone with a bit of patience will see the the quality gameplay and the long term rewards. The multiplayer/shared universe element is an added bonus. Beautiful and complex, Death Stranding is a Kojima game through and through with his trademark storytelling and humour. Loving it so far

    Beyond a breath of fresh air. Death Stranding revitalizes what it is to game. With brilliant graphics, vibrant music, and intuitive controls one is on a precipice to experience the most unique deeply conceptualized world. In a era of games where quality is high but individuality is low Death Stranding came to the rescue.

    Death Stranding is the latest game from Hideo Kojima and its safe to say that its his most divisive game yet. While many people criticize the game for being a repetitive and tedious chore of a game, i actually quite enjoyed the game from time to time, even when its boring. The gameplay largely involves of walking from point A to point B, and just from that alone, i can see why alot ofDeath Stranding is the latest game from Hideo Kojima and its safe to say that its his most divisive game yet. While many people criticize the game for being a repetitive and tedious chore of a game, i actually quite enjoyed the game from time to time, even when its boring. The gameplay largely involves of walking from point A to point B, and just from that alone, i can see why alot of people dont like the game. But even then, i just got attached to the gameplay loop and it actually got pretty addicting, the reason being that its probably because of the risk and reward that the game offers.

    The open world and the traversal kinda reminded me of Breath Of The Wild which is kinda weird seeing that DS's open world is pretty barren compared to BOTW's, but i think thats why i really like it, but i probably wouldnt have liked the open world or hell, the game as a whole as much if it werent for the online system that the game has. In my opinion, this is an online system done really well for a single-player focused game. Its pretty similiar to the online system of Dark Souls but its more akin to Nier: Automata in my opinion, where players can help each other by donating their items for other players or create structures together so everybody can use it. Its actually a pretty good system once you understand how it works.

    Now, since this is a Kojima game, we of course have to talk about the story. From the moment this game was announced back in 2016, the story was what intrigued me the most, and well what do i think of it? Well after years of waiting, In my opinion, the story of Death Stranding is just not as good as Kojima's previous works. Its better than MGS V that's for sure, but when comparing it to Mgs 1, 2, 3, and even 4 to a certain extent, there's just something missing that i'm not really sure what it is. That being said though, i still like the story as a whole when it introduces new and interesting concepts just not when its being overly pretentious at times. Though if you are currently playing the game, i highly suggest you complete it, even if you dont like the gameplay loop and the earlier story segments because the game and the story in particular really gets bettter towards the end and around the 20-ish hour mark is where the story got really interesting in my opinion.

    One last thing i wanna mention in this review is the soundtrack, which is probably the best thing about the game in my opinion besides the visuals. There are some really great moments in the game that i dont wanna spoil that wouldn't have work as good if the music werent there. From the OST's to the songs from Low Roar, it's really awesome and it adds so much to the game's atmosphere.

    So to round up this review, Death Stranding is a game that i really enjoyed even with its faults. The story is great even though its obnoxiously pretentious at times. The gameplay loop, while boring at times, can be pretty addicting thanks to its world design and online system. The visuals are really great and can be mesmerizing even though there's no day-night cycle which is a a shame. And the soundtrack is the best that i've heard all year. I really wanted to gave this game a 9 or hell it could even be a 10 at some point, but there's just quite a few problems holding it back from being a 9 or a 10, which is why i'm giving this an 8. i wanted to give it an 8.5 but unfortunately metacritic doesnt allow decimal review user scores.

Muchos dicen "pero si es ir del punto A al punto B" pero en Death Stranding no importa ni el punto A ni el punto B, sino, lo que hay entre ambos puntos... puedes hacer el recorrido de muchas formas distintas (faciles o dificiles) y realmente el sistema online potencia la travesía de una muy buena forma. Si se analiza este juego podría caer dentro de la categoría simulador (si..walking simulator, aunque trekking simulator es mas apropiado) y como todo simulador requiere paciencia, tranquilidad, estudio, preparación y práctica para lograr mejorar. Finalmente cuando logras entregar la carga de la misión y todas las cargas que te atreviste a recoger durante el trayecto te sientes realizado y mas aún cuando sabes que hay mas jugadores haciendo lo mismo y de alguna u otra forma hiciste su trayecto un poco mas fácil dejandoles una ayudita.

    Brillante y Hermoso.

    PD: Les recuerdo que en juegos como League of Legends, Fornite, Call Of duty, FIFA, etc haces siempre lo mismo una y otra vez... no muy alejado de ir de un punto A a un punto B 20 veces.

    Death Stranding is a serene strategic, world building game. Through the delivery of desperately desired cargo, Sam Bridges connects a devastated and fractured world caused by what is called, The Death Stranding. This game contains the same elements that you will find in most movies and television programs. The actors take their jobs very seriously by giving their best efforts in order to make the world around you, the player, a sense of urgency and importance. This is very much a game about a man who makes deliveries. Those deliveries, one by one, make the world whole. The further in you go, the more the game has to offer to you. Walking turns to running, running turns into a motorcycle. The empty land becomes filled. Filled with trails, ladders, bridges, and more. Things you did not build will help you along the way; making your trek possible. You thank other players who have come before you, making a passage for you. Sometimes to climb, sometimes to rappel down. You are a pathfinder. you make a way for people to follow and you contribute to the creation of the new world.

    Enemies become more and more of a threat - sneaking turns into battles. You begin to hunt the MULEs, you begin to hunt BTs.

    People who claim that this game is monotonous did not play this game. People who rate this game lower than 4, did not play this game. Death Stranding has a massive map and tons of enemies. A great story, impressive lore, and strong gameplay. However, this game is not for everyone. Patience is definitely a virtue

    Unlike any other game I've experienced before, Death Stranding reminds me of my favorite quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, that "The earth teaches us more about ourselves than all the books in the world. Because it resists us."

    Death Stranding is video game poetry. As such, it is not for everyone. The first few hours are too heavy on the cut-scenes, although I found the story and execution fantastic. After that, you will find an expansive, meditative game, with landscape as obstacle, puzzle, and challenge. Also worth noting, the conceptual design, from the vastness of the territory, to the architecture, to the smallest objects and gadgets, is extraordinary.
    This is a game that may have been wrongfully marketed for the mainstream audience, and it won't appeal to much of it. Hey, some people even find Red Dead Redemption 2 boring, so go figure. But make no mistake, this is a monument of a game. It is bold, over-the-top brilliant and beautiful.

    Kojima really managed to capture the feeling of vastness and exploration in Deathstranding. The game also has many online co op features that made it a very engaging game as you feel you are playing with many other players. It feels like a new approach to gaming I can understand that it isn't for everyone.

    The story is bizarre and it explains little at first but still makes no sense even when you do understand it a bit more.

    This game really is sub par. If you're in your 30s and the time to play games is hard to come by now, I'd recommend to skip this. The story takes way, way to long to start and is mind numbingly uninteresting. Don't expect any fireworks. It does have its moments though but they're far fewer than what you'd expect. How Kojima got these actors interested in this game will always be a mystery to me.

В целом, есть несколько неплохих идей и решений, однако, глупейшие геймдизайнерские ошибки сильно обескураживают. Наиграв в эту игру 52 часа и полностью пройдя всю сюжетную линию, понимаю, что из нее могла бы получиться хорошая игра, будь условно тот, кто ее реально развивал и дополнял контентом, дорабатывал механики и сделал меньше душного и бессмысленного гринда, которого здесь очень много и ты практически ничего за это не получаешь. Сюжет здесь явно не сильная сторона, ибо он подается в начале и очень концентрированно в конце игры, а еще сами ходы угадываются за счет многочисленных намеков на протяжении игры. Персонажи раскрыты плохо, мотивация не всегда ясна, а поступки в целом вроде логичные, однако, наполнены абсолютно бездарно написанными диалогами. Единственный кто был хорошо, так это Дайхардмэн. Его раскрыли в конце, но его диалоги были наиболее живыми и реалистичными. Также оскорбляет отношение к самому игроку в игре: тебя будто считают полным идиотом, объясняя элементарные вещи по 3-4 раза, а то и больше, будто ты в первый раз не понял или не заметил какой намек, поэтому этот намек нужно обязательно обсосать со всех сторон, чтобы уж самый "одаренный" понял.
    Если же вас смущают игровые ролики, стриммы или вообще всё, что вы видели, то не стоит приобщаться к игре. Если же вас устраивает перспектива узнать весьма неплохо проработанный лор, играть в игру без интересной основной механики занимаясь душнейшим гриндом, то в целом игра может затянуть. Мне лично понравилась как реализована взаимосвязь игроков при постройки некоторых строений. Их, конечно, мало, но реально доставляет тот факт, что ты кому-то помог или кто-то тебе. Это немного добавляет осмысленности к твоему геймплею.

    Great graphics, great voice acting, good story with a nice emotional payoff. Poor gameplay as if Kojima wanted to show off his actors and didn't concentrate on gameplay details.

    I liked the concept of the story. It makes you think (more then I'd like some times lol) and it's not the trivial game story most are used to. It's a very different game and confusing some times. I could just "connect the dots" at the last minutes of the game. But i think it could be more explained. It seems to get a little rush on the end, but considering this is his first game I understood.
    Just don't give up of the game on the middle and keep playing (skip the secondary deliveries if you didn't enjoy this mechanics) at least to understand the story. This game is almost like a Movie, people that don't like a lot of cinematic won't like it.

But, having gone a couple of months and realising that almost all games have repetitive gameplay loops I decided to give it a go.

    I have to say the more balanced reviews are correct, this is a very interesting game but it absolutely is not for everyone, it's very difficult to describe to be honest, the basic gameplay is indeed take this from a to b, and repeat but it's just so much more than that. The on the fly planning, route making, stealth, combat, asset management all make it so much more than just a postman simulator.

    I've got to say it is a slow burner of a game, almost an open world puzzle if you like. I suspect if your interests are more in the twitch shooter or sport sim direction this game would be hell on earth, and that is in no way a dig at the guys that play those genre, it's a talent I don't have.

    It's possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen on the PS4, the controls are tight (the vehicles aside) and it's music is excellent.

    I'd recommend picking it up, but if you ain't sure just wait it out and pick it up cheap in a years time. It's worth a look at least surely?

    The core gameplay is what makes this game enjoyable. And the multiplayer aspect (heavily borrowed from Dark Souls and exceptionally well expanded) really shines.

    I'd still give this game an 8 despite the writing, however there's another negative aspect that needs to be addressed. It's the controls and the aiming. It might work perfectly fine for the delivery gameplay; but not for the bossfights. You strafe like you're ice skating and the aiming is too floaty, making targeting an enemy unnecessarily awkward.

    There was this fight where you had to dodge the enemy's attack and you can tell that the controls was not designed for such occasion.

    Looking back, MGSV was a piece of unfinished business that was very overrated, and he make this, a USPS Delivery simulator with some sort of narrative i cant take seriously.. I dont know if he is taking the piss or not. But one thing is certain, Kojima does not know a fart about making open world games. He basically just makes a large map and keeps it empty, lifeless and dull. He tries his best by throwing music in there on your many endless strolls. But that is just a poor excuse to save. And ALL these absurd details signed Kojima. Like seriously, you deliver corpses to incinerators.. CORPSES!! Suddenly i found myself outside with a dead chick wrapped up and strapped to my back. Deliver This!! ABSURD!!
    And what is it with these menus? So complex, confusing and overly detailed. I just did not understand a thing..
    What he IS good at is graphics. It is pretty though but a waste, but i just dont ever seem to get into Kojima´s bonkers mind. He is a loon. I do not understand why critics praise his garbage so highly just because they still ride on the Metal Gear Solid wave. I for one will never ever throw more money at Kojima productions ever again. A total waste.

На столько глубокой проработки ходьбы я не видел никогда. Я провёл в игре 45 часов, но увидел и узнал о механике и секретах далеко не всё, спасибо YouTube. Так же заслуживает внимания асинхронный мультиплеер. Он не только идеально ложиться на геймплей, но и на саму идею игры - объединение. И всё это в игре генерирует такие ситуации, что некоторые вылазки дарят эмоций больше, чем целые AAA-игры. Но то что в игре получилось не очень, так это сюжет. Есть логические дыры, плохо и глупо поданная экспозиция, динамика истории страдает, в начале и в конце мы больше смотрим кат-сцены, нежели играем в игру. Но это не отменяет того, что Death Stranding подарила мне уникальные эмоции, которые я никогда не получал от AAA-игр в этом поколении. Где во главе угла, в плане механики, была не самая, на первый взгляд, хорошая идея, но чертовски хорошо исполнена. Я хочу, чтобы на рынке была больше подобных игр, которые не боятся рисков.

    challenge du jeu. En effet le joueur doit traversé à pieds les Etats-Unis d’une côte à l’autre tout en reliant les divers campements qu’il rencontrera afin de créer une société unie. Le propos du jeu est que face à l’adversité il ne faut pas s’isoler mais bel et bien s’unir pour la
    surmonter et s’améliorer. Il est également question de la notion
    d’héritage. En effet le protagoniste, Sam, à la charge de corriger les
    erreurs de sa mère adoptive afin de laisser un meilleur monde à
    l’enfant qui lui est confié. Ainsi il n’est plus question de laisser à la
    prochaine génération la tâche de corriger les erreurs de la précédente
    mais bien d’offrir un meilleur avenir à celles qui suivront.
    Tout comme bien trop souvent nous avons entendu dans la bouche
    des politiciens que l’écologie est le devoir de la prochaine génération
    ce jeu nous rappelle que le monde demain n’est plus qu’à un jour si
    on y travail dès aujourd’hui.

    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.
