    Прошел на ютубе, а че бомбить? я говорил что геймплей мне такой не заходит, сюжет норм рассказали, даже разжевали все. Косте, конечно же понравилась. Ему все такие "шедевры" нравятся.

    Premetto che non sono mai stato un fan di Kojima, non ho mai giocato un Metal Gear in tutta la mia vita e non me ne frega niente della sua presunta genialità.

    Fatta questa premessa potete star certi che ho guardato a questo gioco con assoluta imparzialità e privo di pregiudizi.

    La grande colpa di questo gioco è il fatto di non essere un action, molti lo giudicano come se solo un action potesse essere un buon gioco.

    Ciò vuol dire che chi l'ha valutato 0 è in malafede? Questo gioco non può essere rappresentato da uno 0? Tutt'altro. Questo gioco merita tutti gli 0 che ha ricevuto come tutti i 10 con cui è stato valutato.

    Questo perché fallisce quando si tratta di intrattenere una fascia di pubblico che fa della sfida, dell'azione e dell'immediatezza la priorità assoluta; mentre risulta perfettamente confezionato per chi può prendersi il tempo di godersi un viaggio, apprezzare il lato artistico, tuffarsi in un gameplay più intimo e meticoloso.

    Questo potrebbe essere il perfetto gioco di Schrödinger: vale sia 0 che 10, finché non lo provi e decidi effettivamente se è un gioco che fa per te oppure no.

    Era inevitabile che si creassero due fazioni, sarebbe bello che entrambi gli schieramenti riuscissero ad accettarsi ed a comprendere le rispettive motivazioni.    … Expand

La parte argumental puede llegar a interesar pero avanza a trompicones mientras debemos llevar a cabo misiones monotonas y repetitivas, logrando que jugar a veces sea una "tortura" que debemos pasar para avanzar en la historia que, según mi opinión, aunque puede tener algun giro interesante acaba siendo algo pretenciosa y con algun que otro cliché cinematográfico que desluce el conjunto. Yo al llegar al fnal del juego ya había perdido el interés y solo jugaba para terminar el juego.
    La jugabilidad lo peor. Los escenarios y su apartado artístico son preciosos y da gusto pasearse en ellos, hasta puede llegar a ser divertido estudiar como sortear cada accidente geográfico sin dañar la carga... Pero no hay nada mas, mundo inerte y vacío donde todas las misiones (principales y secundarias) tienen el mismo objetivo: Llevar una carga de un punto A a uno B. Un desproposito, otra vez, por parte de Kojima crear y brindarnos un basto mundo preciocista sin practicamente nada que hacer dentro de él... No hay ningun aliciente a la exploración mas allá de los chips de memoria, que nos aportan información extra, pero la gran mayoría de ella intrascendente (info sobre merchandasing de otros videojuegos y mecas, recomendación de films y bandas sonoras por parte de Kojima, info sobre modelos de motos del mercado en la vida real...) Por no haber no hay ni un ápice de fauna, parece que con el declive de la escena introductoria se extingue toda. En la misma linea, no tratamos en todonel juego con un NPC que no sea un holograma y no podemos entrar en las ciudades a ver como se desarrolla la vida post-apocalíptica. En relación a su argumento y vacíos argumentales hay que hacer un acto de fer para "aceptar" todas las incongruencias y vacíos argumentales con la esperanza de que al final se nos desbelará el porqué de todo (ciertas preguntas hallan respuesta y otras no)... Pero si queremos profundizar en ella no nos quedará mas remedio que leer parrafos y parrafos de teorías pseudociéntificas entremezcladas con bases profundamente teológicas.

    Resumen: Técnica y artísticamente espléndido, argumentalmente interesante pero confuso, hace falta una mente muy abierta y aceptar concesiones.... Jugablemente aburrido y un desproposito, llega a ser interseante plantearse rutas y como avanzar por el terreno, pero TODO el juego se basa en las mismas misiones. El combate tosco, incomodo y su inclusión anecdótica,

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Death Stranding took me about 6 months to finish - not because of massive content but because it is so boring to play and feels like work. The graphics and the motion capturing are awesome - however you might ask yourself why USA now looks like Iceland. The basic plot idea about GD, BB, etc. is great and refreshing - however the story Hideo built from it is just not good. At multiple points in the game it spoils you that Amelie and Bridget are the same person, that Amelie is causing GDs to appear and that Clifford is Sam's dad. After you defeated Higgs it takes another 4 hours to finish the game - and there is no story in it. It's just used to stretch the game to at least 30 hours playtime. For example after you killed Higgs Fragile teleports everyone back except YOU - the only person who can stop Amelie and thus is important for humankind. So you have to walk all the way back to the beginning of the game. Why? Ask Hideo. There's just no logical reason to it. The gameplay is so repeating. If you start the game now, install all patches first so you can skip these damn animations of Sam getting in cars, Sam delivering crates, Sam looking at boring holograms, Sam looking at delivery drones walking away, Sam looking at bikes being delivered from your garage, Sam doing this, Sam doing that, ... It just makes you angry when you have to watch them over and over again. Oh and don't forget to get a cover for your X button - you will smash it so many times to go through all of the UIs to accept or finish a delivery. Death Stranding could have been a masterpiece - the gameplay and the story prevents that. So it's just a mediocre game you will play once, then deinstall and forget about.… Expand

Desde el inicio estas varado en cinemáticas pero ese no es el problema, el problema es que de las 3 horas de cinemáticas solo 15 minutos son interesantes. ¡Bien terminaste las cinemáticas! Ahora te espera un juego lleno de misiones donde cada una es exactamente la misma que la anterior, el mapa está muerto, la mitad del juego estarás en una interfaz para gestionar el peso de tus recursos, las estaciones que son la única forma de interactuar con el mapa son prácticamente TODAS LAS MISMAS, la inteligencia de los enemigos es nula, corren hacia ti sin mas y no hay más dificultas que presionar cuadrado para vencerlos (en modo difícil) o usar armas que sinceramente pero es preferible tan solo correr y escapar, el juego te invita a construir en el mapa estructuras pero el proceso para hacerlo es súper tedioso. Aunque muchos halaguen la historia a mi me parece una reverenda mierda, NO TIENE SENTIDO LA HISTORIA, en un Estados Unidos futuristico el mundo de los espectros se a levantado formando un caos, hasta aquí todo bien pero luego vienen estupideces como por ejemplo los enemigos, “Las MULAS” son malos porque al igual que tu antes trabajan de paquetería, se volvieron locos por los envíos y ahora ellos se quieren quedar con tus envíos Y NO ESTOY BROMEANDO. El gobierno necesita que todos los paquetes sean enviados por humanos porque si, están avanzados en tecnología pero no pueden crear drones que hagan los envíos, estúpidamente meten mas cosas al juego que no encajan en nada, cada estación te repiten LOS MISMOS DIÁLOGOS UNA Y OTRA VEZ “¡ohhh! ¡genial! trajiste el envío, eres un Dios por trabajar caminando por todo el mapa para traer cajas y conectar estados unidos con 5 USB’s”, TU OBJETIVO ES CONECTAR LAS ESTACIONES A LA RED QUIRAL (internet), aparentemente no existen los satélites ni nada parecido en este mundo futuristico. Este juego es malo y eso es innegable. Habrá gente que diga que es “solo para un grupo específico de personas” y están en lo correcto, ya he juegos de gestión de recursos y espacio como Oxygen Not Included, también he jugado los apodados “walking simulator” como lo es FIREWATCH y son buenísimos porque saben cómo usar estas mecánicas, pero este juego junta esas mecánicas y mas, después las convierte en algo súper tedioso y frustrante para matarme del aburrimiento, llevo 20 horas de juego esperando encontrar algo interesante pero no ha ocurrido nada. Lo único rescatable son los gráficos del juego, pero vamos que eso no contrasta ni un poco todo lo negativo que tiene este juego. No lo recomiendo, tal vez pruébenlo si lo encuentran en una muy buena oferta. Es una lástima que un juego triple AAA con buenos actores y Kojima haya terminado así. Sinceramente no hagan caso a las críticas positivas de paginas “gamers”, este juego no es digno de una calificación de 8 para arribas, tal vez un 6 con suerte. Ni se molesten en comprarlo.… Expand

    Death Stranding has an ok story but boy is the gameplay trash. Played through this game 1 time and probably spent a year walking.walking.walking.walking.walking.walking and waking.

    The cult of Kojima will throw out 10s no matter what he does. But for anyone evaluating this on its own merits, it's a pretentious game about not-Daryl throwing his turds at ghosts and chugging Monster Energy.

    Good soundtrack, good cutscenes, but long wait.

    Some people will say that the game created a new genre in science fiction and gaming, and they might be right. This does not mean therefore the gameplay mechanics are good/satisfying, that the story is coherent/wel written.

This does not mean therefore the gameplay mechanics are good/satisfying, that the story is coherent/wel written. This is my review after trying to play the game for about 15 hours but eventually giving up.
    First the good:
    ++amazing cast of actors, that have been skillfully scanned and animated
    ++amazing graphics, the interface and world are very pretty
    ++music is great and fits the whole atmosphere of death and taking journeys
    ++first (and hopefully not last) game by an independent game studio started by Kojima!

    Now the bad:
    --- writing: the writing in the game is horrid, props to the actors for greatly performing poorly (and most times corny) written lines. For a game that has a lot of story it would have been a good idea to let a professional English (native or equally skilled) writer take a look at all the writing. Not to mention the contant pedantic in your face lines that feel awkward and stupid. "There is no future without america". We all know Kojima is a fan of the USA culture, but the game feels forced in the way it speaks about it.
    --- gameplay/game mechanics: yes it is a different kind of game and I'm all for new and innovative, but, gameplay wise it feels very artificially filled with unnecessary back and forth, almost unsteerable vehicles, walking mechanics that dont make sense (reedus radomly zways left or right) preventing users from enjoying the walking around. This couldve been removed and the game would not suffer from it. Adding complexity in order to give players something to do while walking is not good game design.
    ---Story and world logic: any good story makes sense in its own world. The whole rain makes you old is cool and innovative but, the world does not make sense when you think about it for more than 2 seconds, the plants grow and die, rocks should decay and most infuriatingly there shouldn't be any buildings standing! How many times has it rained when you reach a brand new outpost? If those building are made of a certain material that does not decay, why not use that material on everything else? Also what happened to planes? They should be able to rise above the rain and deliver goods and everything else? Why not burn people at cities and collect the chiral dust in a container that can be later shipped off site? There are many such gigantic logic holes in the story that I tried to ignore but it was in the end impossible to. Reedus is the last resort of sorts for the unification of USA, so why not put everything into helping him out? There are literary trucks outside that reedus is not allowed to drive, why?
    --UX: yes the UI is pretty, but its incredibly unclear and does not communicate clearly to the player what is happening, specially the deliver menus and world icons.
    -- Player feedback: the game likes to make the player feel like an important part of the world, however the lines are overused and you cant take it seriously after the 25th time someone gives their thanks.

    TLDR: game is pretty, game mechanics are awkward and often make the game unnecessarily difficult and grindy. World/Story logic often doesn't make sense.    … Expand

    Playing this game feels like working at a job. Even though I'm a fan of experimental games and narratives I thought this game was just absurd.

In truth it's really slow, repetitive, and obnoxiously complicated where it doesn't have to be. The weirdness goes from interesting to awkward really fast and before the end of the game the cut-scenes became torturous for me. When I understood the story was only half joke I started to cringe when I heard certain characters speak. It's like the developers were reaching for something deeply profound but only dug up something shallow and gussied it up. I went from laughing with the game to laughing at it between bouts of miserable gameplay.
    Speaking of which the minute to minute gameplay is extremely boring. I mean, it's about walking what do you expect? Sometimes you get to drive and that's almost fun sometimes, but as soon as you run out of battery or get your vehicle stuck it hits you hard man. Realizing you've got 10 extra minutes of holding the control stick up because your ride is wedged between two rocks is frustrating beyond belief.
    This world is full of beautiful things to admire and that can be hard to remember when you are surrounded by media that fully engages you from moment to moment. Maybe this game is reviewed so well because it forces people to slow down and really appreciate something. If that sounds good to you I encourage you to put on some headphones and take a walk outside instead of dropping $60 on one of the stupidest games I've ever played.    … Expand

    I feel really sad when I read all hateful reviews – I’m surprised how many people apparently don’t get it. Maybe in the modern world people can’t anymore digest anything more complicated than a non-stop action flowing at you effortlessly?

Maybe in the modern world people can’t anymore digest anything more complicated than a non-stop action flowing at you effortlessly?

    Death Stranding belongs to a rare breed of games where despite a very simple base gameplay mechanic (yes, you deliver packages), the challenge that is actually presented to a player and the way how it is solved constantly evolves. First few hours of the game are very tedious indeed. You just walk around and primarily run or hide from dangers in order to survive. Who knew you could make a legit gameplay challenge from just walking straight? You have to constantly maintain your balance and every wrong step means that your character falls over, damaging the cargo. Shortly after that you get access to some vehicles and structures (like bridges), and the problem you start solving is how to make locations accessible by transport, so you wouldn’t have to walk back there ever again. The dullness of walking is actually what drives you forward as a player, because as the game progresses it gives you plenty of tools to deal with that. Every new city you connect unlocks something that massively boosts your convenience, so that your goal as a player aligns nicely with the goal of your character – you sincerely want everyone to become connected again, because travelling over connected regions with all structures available makes a massive difference.

    Towards mid game the nature of the challenge evolves further. You encounter a vast landscape and you need a lot of resources to rebuild infrastructure, like highways, zip lines and fast travel points (because who wants walking?). That requires tons of resources (literally, tons), so you have to figure out where to get these in industrial volumes, which is a challenge of its own. You raid enemy camps (where you can have a number of different strategies to choose from, including padding yourself with armour and run in guns blazing if you want some action), you now deliver packages on a huge truck and your problem is to maximise amount of orders you fulfil as you cross the continent in one or another direction, locations you’ve developed help you back with resources and you can see how collective online community turns hostile environment into a quite habitable place. Finally a combination of character development, gadgets and advanced boots allows you to dash over a rocky terrain effortlessly without having to worry about the balance, you get tools to fight monsters, you start feeling like you’ve nailed it – and then the game changes again and shifts the focus onto something else (but yes, you still deliver packages).

    Despite seemingly repetitive main premise, there are many different things to do which you can mix and match depending on your mood, and I’m surprised how the game manages to keep a sense of novelty and progression by constantly throwing something new into the mix. I can easily see though how players who miss out all these game elements and just rush to a next story way point on their two can get frustrated when they’re asked to go back. When I backtrack I do it in comfort of my truck on a paved highway, completing a dozen of orders along the way for the highest rating and then make it back with more resources to drive exploration further – this feels very satisfying.

    The setting is pretty novel (though creepy and cryptic), there is a lot of lore to explore if you care to read emails and interviews, every character in the game actually has a story thought through. Yes, a lot of them are just holograms that serve no other purpose other than justifying a delivery from point A to point B, but all of them have some sort of history and personality. Main cast is great, all actors do their job. Sometimes they get way over the top of course, but that’s Kojima’s signature style, you have to be expecting that. Also the studio has addressed a lot of early feedback with an option to skip or disable repetitive cinematics, disband other player’s objects blocking your way and so on.

    In a way I think Sony has ruined the reception of the game with their greedy and aggressive marketing. They had created so much noise and made Kojima’s next game such a big thing... All players who rushed to shops looking for a gaming experience of their lifetime were rightfully disappointed – it was simply impossible to deliver that promise...    … Expand

    There is a lot of effort and a lack of sense of a good game. There are flaws that make you simply hate the game and honestly quite a few things simply to smooth the hate coming from ex Kojima's fanboys.

    Death Stranding is not a game. It is meant to be a movie, maybe a good one for some audience. Guys, just don't waste your time on it, it doesn't worth it at all.

It's a very large uninhabited world to explore.

    The game has very talented actors putting on amazing performances. And the animation to go with those performances is quite incredible.

    Now, true to form Kojima crafts a story, as he's generally good at doing and it twists and turns your brain in a really incomprehensible way as a man that has no conception of the afterlife tried to explain what the afterlife might be. This, is the games strength as it should be, but it doesn't carry the same weight as Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. But,bits a valiant effort to do so.

    Where the game struggles, for me anyway, is in the gameplay department. There are gamers that quite enjoy the open-world setting that Kojima and his team have created, but in my opinion, Kojimas forte is certainly his story telling. I think Kojima is best served to sticking with linear gameplay to tell his stories and open world games are not hear suited for his talent.

    For me, Death Stranding felt like the team at Kojima Productions had no regard for the value of my time, that it was like some suck joke to make you wander around and then look at the time and realize you just lost three hours of your life. I was hesitant to play the game because I'd heard it was basically a walking simulator and I didn't want Kojimas reputation tainted in my mind. Metal Gear Solid V had already shaken my faith and I didn't want anymore damage done, but as I played the game, it took me forever to get through it and it felt like Kojimas team just thought it would he funny to make people work their way around the map slowly. Everything feels like it takes forever and Kojima Productions punishes you for not being patient and playing the game by their rules The only other reason I can think of, is that they were really pressured by Sony to get a game done and they had to slap something empty together and this is what came up. They also knew gamers wanted a lengthy experience to "get their moneys worth" and ultimately this is what we got.

    The game feels so lacking and Kojimas potential wasted. In my humble opinion, games like Skyrim and, believe it or not, to this point, Days Gone know how to do open world right. Death Stranding misses the mark and was better served as a linear story based driven game. It's too bad.

    Sony now has an attempt to try and do things right with a disappointing recent set of games, given their reputation in years past and especially on the PS3 where they'd proven they know first-party developers and how to get them to produce, with the upcoming Ghost of Tsushima where, fortunately, developer Sucker Punch knows how to do open world with their previous series Infamous. Too bad Kojima Productions Don't do another open world game, please, MGSV and Death Stranding didn't work. And I think I'm starting to see where Konami was getting frustrated with Kojima and his ego, his name is plastered all over everything, multiple times. I'm getting the feeling he doesn't know the meaning of the word humility. I think that's what frustrated Konami. Proof is in the credits of his last two games. Rather than bundling everything together, he lists didn't title cards for each part of how he contributed to the game, it's pretty messed up, also during photo mode, the title tag bears his name..... Sorry is good, gameplay is not, the gameplay drags on so long, you forget the story along with how frustrating the climbing can be with unresponsive controls. Too bad, I wanted this to be great, I waited so long but, it wasn't.....    … Expand

    Pretty much sums up this game. The marketing for this game is atrocious; it makes it seem like there is more than long and boring walks throughout a beautiful but plain world. Two out of place combat sections (one of which is the second trailer) are terrible also and are short. If the gameplay was better with these and there were WAY more of them then this game could have been good. I would say that this review is spoilerific, but I don't even know what the game is about AFTER playing/watching THE WHOLE THING (I played up until Chapter 4 when I realized it wasn't going to get better, then I watched Jacksepticeye's series for the rest (which is very entertaining, unlike the game itself)). The game feels like nonsense, just a lot of sci-fi words to confuse the audience into thinking the game is "art". With all of the great games on Playstation (Spider-Man, God of War, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Last of Us Part 2 (had flaws but the gameplay was phenomenal), etc.), don't choose this one unless you have nothing else left. I wish that Kojima put in super-powers or something ridiculous; the map is too big for its own good, it takes forever to go anywhere. I'm mostly left with a sad feeling that we will never get a great game that the earlier trailers hinted at (although all of them are still in the game). One stand-out though is Lea Seydoux as Fragile; I would love to see her in another AAA PlayStation game in another main role.

I mean it is Hideo Kojima a guy that brought us Metal Gear Solid, he will always have a great gameplay. Well... In this so called game he proves me that no one can be trusted and even professionals makes fatal mistakes. This game is comedic joke to me. This game attempts to transform a realistic walking in to a funny gameplay but there is a reason why gamers do not like to go on walks outside. Best part on this is unlocked in some part of the game (which I do not remember when because I was half asleep at the time) is ziplines because they let you skip the entire game. Maybe it could be funnier but even the music that is playing is trying to get you to bed. Game lets you finish the game without any sort of challenge. You win no matter what. Bossfights are joke to what Mijazaki brought us on this field of gameplay they just do nothing and let you killed them for free. Gameplay has no value to the story. You vould literally put a **** Assassins Creed or Donkey Kong in the gameplay part and the story would not have been affected at all. Even the story that I thought could be done well is ruined by some dialogees that are cringe as hell especially when ´´Fragile´´ speaks. When she speaks I want to put the Anti-BT gun in my mouth and shot myself. Everyone is trying to sound so mysterious and badass like me when I was 13 year old. Kojima himself does not even understand his own story so why should I even try when the only thing I want to do is to sleep. Even the visuals are pretty ****
    I know that graphics in general and the cutscenes with actors are well done. What I am talking about is the design of the world that is just pure boredom. I mean you have rocks next to river with in few different biomes and that is everything. Even the outposts are just buildings where there is nothing at all only holograms waiting on you to thank you for delivering the package. Absolutly the most biggest disappointment ever. 1/10 Kojimbo fans you can not tell me otherwise.    … Expand

    7/10, but definitely not for all. After giving it some time to fully reflect on what I experienced I will say that I did enjoy this game.
    Death Stranding is a very atmosphere/story focused game and a true hybrid within the gaming world. It delivers a unique experience that can only best be experienced if you have no real expectations going in.

    I like to chill with games and am open to many different genres so I was able to embrace this game and enjoy the virtual hike and journey within its world.

    I think the problem with the way this game has been recieved is mostly by people expecting some kind of action game and instead getting a slow burn simulation game. This is no different from an FPS fan finding puzzle games boring and vice versa.

    The game isnt perfect by any means, mostly hurt by being overly long and ultimately too boring. Improved combat would go far in imporving the excitement.

    Overall if you are looking for a chill game with a strong atmosphere and decent story then the chances are you will like this.    … Expand

    Very nice story telling, gorgeous graphics and a gameplay style that allows you to relax. I really hope other developers will follow suit and create such games. A genre of it's own.

    I was SOO excited for this game. I played a good 2-3 hours of it, and literally had no interest in it anymore besides the story and what happens. Story alone cannot drive a game for me. And so many people tell me "after chapter 6 it gets good" but a game shouldnt take 2+ hours of gameplay to get to the "good parts". I honestly cant see myself finishing this game either.

И ни одна концовка не способна оправдать настолько унылый, однообразный и скучный геймплей. Бегать 30 часов туда сюда, чтобы появилось хоть какое-то развитие событий - это слишком.

Сюжетные ходы, которые есть в игре, уже были во множестве произведений. Сюжет неплохой, но чтобы до него добраться, нужно пройти через ад. Эта игра - это высокое искусство в самом худшем его значении. Когда человек видит мазню и боится признаться в том, что это мазня, он начинает искать ей оправдания и говорить, что это шедевр. Здесь тоже самое. Игра была сделана именно для этого. Сделать ее максимально унылой и повесить ярлык «не для быдла». Короч я не понял, я быдло. Больше колзима от меня ни копейки не получит.… Expand

It is a social commentary - We need each other - But that's the only interesting aspect of the game in my point of view.

    Mainly it is wasted money and time. And I regret that I spended 75€ (that's like 84US$) for the special edition. It seems that a lot of the professional reviews on the internet are paid by the publisher. It's a shame that this happens today. And that's a reason why I don't read most of the game magazines online anymore.

Well, what do we have in the end? We have a courier simulator with good actors (although they play rather poorly here) and in general there was a feeling that this game is an advertisement for actors. Everything absolutely everything in this game is served under the sauce of such mysticism, obscurity, surrealism, I can’t say anything about the gameplay and the world (hello CTRL + C, CTRL + V) they are ordinary, they don’t catch anything. All the mysticism that was aggressively shown in trailers. just gone! Moreover, she left instantly, and you know nothing can be said here ... Yes, that's all that can be said about the game -_-. And now about Kojima, you know, he is a genius, he makes people think about what’s not there, yes, I read the reviews of the players who were deceived by this game “about something high” and I understand that they were deceived. They also deceived you, I watch streams, I see how people with a serious look look at the game, as if they are some philosophers, but they do it through force. Kojima is a brand; Dead Strandin is a brand. If you want to have a good time, buy the same game, do not support scammers like Kojima.
    I put 2 points solely for such an aggressive advertising that was done well (after all, a lot of people fell for it).    … Expand

I feel disgusted at the thought of this poop biscuit being inside my console, the same way a man is disgusted at the thought of another man being inside his cheating woman. Kojima must have been drinking cactus juice when conjuring up this idiotic concept of a video game. litterally wtf is this game? exploding dead people, ghost monsters, and an immortal USPS ubereats delivery man waddlin and stumblin all around the place like a drunken penguin. why would I wanna see the inside of a mans throat and an infant all squished flailing and squirming around and struggling to move in there every time I die in a video game? who thought of that? fire them, sue them and then straight up delete any future projects they even worked on. I had to keep a puke bucket on the side of me while playing this game. The sound track blows, it makes my ears bleed and then fall off, and then explode. the graphics are overrated and not better than spider-man, God of war, or red dead redemption 2. The controls are clunky I feel like my shoe laces are either untied or intertwined between both shoes. The story is stupid and makes no sense. The game in general is boring and puts me to sleep faster than grannys bed time story and a glass of milk. Kojima is a washed up has been who needs to throw in the towel and give up making video games forever cuz he hasnt made a good game since like the ps2. I feel sory for sony for entrusting this man, he has brought great shame upon the name of playstation. now those xbox greaseballs have something to meme about. 10 hours into this and had to hit the eject button and break this thing in half over my forehead. went outside and threw the two pieces of the disc into the sky one after the other and shattered them to tiny bits with my fricken slingshot. worst game of the entire console generation and it's not even up for debate. if you disagree you are only embarrassing yourself. If you enjoyed this game please never touch another video game in your life and throw your console into the nearest public pool because you don't know what a real game is. TRASH VIDEO GAME… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Reflection on the game. Premise, I played It with hard settings. Guys, let's face it. The setting, the music, the graphic quality (it doesn't even click to pay for it), the idea of the game, the storyline; all these things are fantastic. Planning the trip is very nice and delivering gives satisfaction, especially for the big plan behind it of course. But what's the bloody reason for having MULI or CA so damn "empty"? Why not add a bigger challenge component to travel and planning? Like "will I get away with all those MULES?" or "let's hope I don't get CA this time". But no, MULES are just dummies to throw puppets at and there's no stealth gameplay done right, and the CA, the CA... total disappointment the CA. They don't even catch you doing it on purpose, and if, out of frustration, you choose to get caught to feel some kind of emotion, you find yourself expecting a boss that calling him blind and with the reactivity of a Baobab would be reductive. Please try to give up the role of kojima fan (which I appreciate, eh!!) and think objectively for a minute. That's a serious shortcoming. A more accurate AI would have made the game extraordinary, imagine riskier trips, where really the organization of the trip would have counted and actually moved the success or failure of the delivery. It would have been a dream to play it. I do not complain about the long deliveries, menus, huge cut scenes, the combat system or the many other things on which many people hate (right or wrong you decide it). I complain about the lack of IA, we are in 2019 for **** sake. I complain that there is absolutely no difficulty in making deliveries. And it's really a frightening sin with enemies that he has IN particular...devised so splendid and… Expand

    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.
