    In an industry where many action games adhere to familiar formulas, Death Stranding stands out as one of the most unique AAA experiences available. While it does exhibit moments of self-indulgence that border on silliness, Hideo Kojima still deserves admiration for his vision. Keep it up, Hideo.

    Starts kinda slow and gets quite repetetive very fast. The world looks great and the idea behind building the world with others players is unique. The longer the game goes, the more interesting it gets. The actors, the music and the story is awesome though and makes this game a masterpiece for me.

    Death Stranding is not a game that will mark an era but will stay in the hearts of many gamers. Myself included. Maybe in time and with some DLC if it ever happens, this game could be legendary. Right now it's not, but it's close.

    The mechanics of the game are novel and at a certain point very original, however it can become repetitive and tedious. Its development is excessively long, it took me more than 80 hours to complete it and I had to leave aside secondary tasks for repetitive ones.

    The best thing is perhaps its graphic aspect, a real beauty of game. It is also fair to mention in its strengths its innovative online game system. In which the reconstruction of the world is carried out by means of the collaboration of the players, each one contributing resources to equip the devastated world of the game, new roads and constructions that we can use in our long trips to deliver our orders.

    Death Stranding has a very ambitious story to tell but it fails with it's gameplay mechanics and fights. The story is not simple and revolves a lot on fantasy. It's good and they put real actors in it. The delivery of the story is amazing. At the base however, this is a lot a walking simulator. You get vehicles at some points, most of them are slow enough that the BT can attack you.

You get vehicles at some points, most of them are slow enough that the BT can attack you. Making deliveries gets very old, very fast. The gun/grenade fighting works with human targets, but the BTs it generates horrible fighting. The system is so slow and unprecise that the BT have a net advantage. On top of that, they attack from behind, something your character can't handle well since it takes forever to move or turn around. The music is quite good, especially like Low Roar music. I like the fact that you can share other players structures. The reward system is fun too. I give it 68%. The ending is blocked with a series of BT fights, and factually kill the game before the end. Great story but with bad enemy design and choices. Expand

    Death Stranding is captivating and intriguing from the offset. You're thrown into a bizarre apocalyptic United States that is never too obtuse in its weirdness, but rather strange and beautiful enough to make the basic act of traversing from point A to point B an interesting and challenging task.

    It's core gameplay loop of delivering items in an attempt to reconnect the country is deeper than it may initially appear, and as you progress through the game more avenues of traversal are opened up, so you'll soon be doing much more than just walking. That said, even when you are just walking it's more engaging than it sounds, and the combination of gorgeous Iceland-inspired geology and sporadic Low Roar needle drops punctuate the experience.

    The story, worldbuilding and characters are top notch in Death Stranding. Despite some iffy dialogue, the narrative is enjoyable and bolstered by some great performances, in particular from Troy Baker and Mads Mikkelsen, who shine as Higgs and Cliff respectively. The cinematography in some cutscenes is frankly amazing too.

    I do have some gripes with the game. Sometimes the mechanics feel a little janky, especially when climbing or colliding with terrain. The combat and boss fights weren't as strong as they could've been, and the gunplay is just so-so. Death Stranding is quite a long title and it's core gameplay loop can get repetitive after a while - getting all facilities up to a 5 star connection is quite a grind, and one that I've not seen through. After the story concludes and the credits roll, continuing to rebuild America becomes less compelling.

    One little thing I wish was included in the game is a portable music player - the music featured in Death Stranding is excellent and I wish you could play it wherever you wanted, not just while resting in a private room. The sound design is spot on but having a music player may have benefited the lonelier stretches of gameplay.

    Still, I think this is a great game and one that is a refreshing deviation from the norm. It exists in its own space, and it's uniqueness makes it a game well worth trying. The social features are fantastic; knowing that your contributions to the game world make an impact on other player's journeys is rewarding in a way I've not experienced before. The game's message of unity permeates through the story and all facets of the gameplay.

    It's a very original, memorable title, unlike other AAA games on the market, and I'm glad I took the plunge and gave it a go. At the end of my playthrough, I can safely say that this is a game that I really enjoyed.

Hideo Kojima's latest cinematic experiment is not for everyone to say the least. It has been heavily mocked for being a glorified walking simulator. While the game plays out like a futuristic sci-fi take on UPS, it's also quite intriguing. However, those expecting an open-world action title are bound to be disappointed. This isn't Metal Gear Solid or like anything else you might've ever played. That's what makes it so unique and quite special. Now whether you can get on board with what Kojima is selling is another thing. As Sam Porter Bridges, the player's job is to deliver packages in a desolate apocalyptic land. So you travel from Point A to Point B throughout the entire 50 hour experience. Yes, it sounds boring and it will be for many players. But fans of experimental and artistic video games will probably like Death Stranding, if not downright love it. This wholly original creation is bizarre, goofy, slow-paced and highly-cinematic. The story is convoluted and the gameplay can get repetitive. But as you progress, new mechanics open up and the tale gets more involving. Visually, this is one of the most beautiful games ever. Is it a masterpiece? No. If fact, it won't be very entertaining for many gamers. But as an original, Death Stranding stands out from the rest of the crowd. If you like Japanese Anime, offbeat comic-books and science-fiction, then this is for you. I'd rate it with an 8.1 out of 10. Expand

    It's a good game but be prepared to do a lot of deliveries. When I first started this game I would only have given it 3 stars but going back to it, I gave it another try and I found myself enjoying it, maybe it was just my mood at the time. Finally finished it but apart from being a little strange I still found it more of a slow-paced relaxing game.

    This game is NOT a walking simulator. It's a world builder. It just doesn't tell you that. The cargo isn't the objective, the objective is the realisation that your pain is shared with every players playing the game, and that each and every one makes the lives of other easier, whether you mean to or not.

    When you start connecting the world with ziplines, highways, repair stations, the game makes more and more sense. You change the way you build. You change your thinking. You start building in ways that makes you think "where would I place this such that it benefits people making this particular route?", you start seeing the game world in a different way "there's a gap there in the network, where players taking that route would not have a rest stop/zipline" and you go there and start making it.

    You still hate the game. But it's not longer the one you're playing

Kojima combines supernatural with normal as he always does to make an escape door for plot holes. He uses two realms to make a possibility for a character to appear in the same realm twice or something. And at the end he will reveal to you every metaphor and allegory he achieved by combining several languages and cultures and nonsense (so it would fit the story) like it is some big bren thinking. And there you are, speechless, clueless and amazed by Death Stranding's brilliance. Kojima-san = genius. 10/10.
    No, not really.
    The story tries to take itself seriously while at the same time breaks the seriousness with wtf moments (licks), references (good ol' fashioned boss fight), cringe (princess Beach) and the "connect all America" silly propaganda. Though the characters are quite likeable, the cutscenes are often too long and boring.
    But the real problem is that the gameplay has very little to do with the story. They are almost two separate things. I feel like they both work on their own and don't need each other.
    The gameplay is plain. Get some crates from point A to point B. Have an inconsequential small talk with a recipient. The protagonist doesn't even answer them. Probably Kojima productions couldn't afford Norman Reedus to record those lines. Hammer x through these conversations.
    The controls are pain in the ass. The on foot movement is let's say ok but vehicles, both close and gun combat, menuing - real bad. Not to mention the bad input layout. Even though traversing is stiff you can climb almost every steep and rock, no need to use ladders. The open world doesn't appeal to me. I find it dull. Perhaps more trees, less rocks?
    The "paramultiplayer" is kind of interesting but meaningless for the game. On the other hand you won't find a game like Death Stranding so at least it's somewhat original, I guess. I would be very surprised if it would get a sequel or a spiritual successor though.
    I'm glad Kojima didn't forget to write his name it like 20 times in the credits. Kojima, Kojima, Kojima.¨

    Rest in peace Silent Hills.

    El juego es plano y raro a partes iguales. Es fácil sentirse perdido al principio, sobretodo en la historia, que te va dando información a cuentagotas y de manera bastante extraña (Kojimadas). Misiones repetitivas de ir de un punto A a un punto B (horas de misiones así...) hasta el punto de odiar este p**o juego... Peeeeero...

    Que quereis que os diga, a mí me pareció un juego sobresaliente. Aún con todos estos defectos, el juego transmite una sensación de soledad y tristeza magistralmente como nunca había sentido en ningún videojuego. Además, el factor de que el mundo sea tan hóstil y de que todo se pueda ir al garete en cualquier momento (normal, el mundo se ha ido a la mi**da y la lluvia te puede matar!), hace que este sea un juego de sensaciones. Desglosemos, que hay miga:

    - Historia, empieza lenta, pero luego a mí me atrapó. Está muy por encima de la media de películas/series de temática "mundo postapocalíptico", y tiene unos giros y unas idas de pinzas dignas del mismísimo Nolan. El reparto es muy acertado también.

    - Gráficos tocando el techo de esta generación. No veáis como se ponía mi ps4 al correr el juego... Parecía que tenía el microondas en el salón. Escenografía bonita, y al contrario de lo que puede parecer al principio, por tratarse de páramos desolados donde sólo hay rocas y rios, no es para nada monótono. Se siente bastante vivo.

    - Banda sonora de 10 y excelentemente escogida (Tardaré en olvidar el momento en el que estás aún asumiendo toda la historia y el maestro Kojima te calza "Death Stranding" de los Chvrches. Balazo al corazón)

    - El gameplay, SÚPER PLANO, pero asombrosamente adictivo! Es simple, no deja de ser un walking simulator con 4 mecánicas extras, pero joder, el aspecto de construir estructuras de manera conjunta con otros jugadores es un acierto mayúsculo. Cuesta parar de jugar, porque siempre hay un puente que terminar, una carretera que construir o una tirolina que levantar (Dios bendiga a las tirolinas)

    Y creo que no me dejo nada. Lo recomiendo? Sí, pero sólo si lo vas a jugar con la mente abierta. Para lo bueno y para lo malo, este juego no se parece a nada de lo que hayas jugado antes, te lo aseguro.
    Simplemente como resumen, para mí, este juego me ha impactado/marcado tanto como en su día lo hizo Half-Life cuando lo jugué por primera vez. Son juegos muy diferentes, pero con sensaciones muy similares (salvando las distancias técnicas en el tiempo, eso sí).
    Long life Kojima! [link omitted per site rules]

    This game isn't for everyone but in no way deserves a 0-3 in score. Games have to be completely broken like Fallout 76 for that to happen. Kojima is setting new gameplay ideas and systems in place for his future games and I'm excited to see where his production company goes in the future.

Contemplative, immersive and for adults, there are not many games in the catalog that fit that definition.
    Technically impressive, stage scale, lighting, textures, soundtrack ... I've got to spend some time carrying packages enjoying the scenery and its climatic effects ... who would have thought!
    In my case, I was looking for something more contemplative to disconnect and relax ... it totally complies.
    In the weakest points ... the duration, at some point it becomes monotonous and repetitive, being that the combat mechanics are not excellent. The final bosses, gives the feeling of being integrated "by contract" but does not feel with the same care as the rest of the game. The idea of ​​crafting and farming is very good, but it is one step away from being well executed; in my case, it does not generate enough incentive for you to go to collect materials and build new structures, you can progress without doing so and it is perceived as too optional, when it should be one of the cores of the game. Similar happens with the idea of ​​an interconnected world where structures built by other players are integrated; It is a very powerful concept, but it ends up being very accessory when it comes to playing. It is curious that this feeling is present in so many sections of the game, how the use of "likes"; where openly it is not exchanged for anything explicit that changes the experience in the game, which totally dilutes the stimulus to improve. The feeling is that the game was conceived in a brilliant line, and when there were 3 months left they said, stop what you are doing and put in final bosses!
    The story has been liked by many, I suppose it will depend on tastes, it seems too pretentious and convoluted to me, it did not generate much interest at any time. On a positive note, it is very well told, the characters are charismatic and the outcome improves it a lot ... a story, perhaps not to my liking.
    There may be more shadows than lights, but with such a lack of adult games, and the brutal technical finish, it borders on excellent.

    CallofDutyboyz are disappointed.

    Both gameplay and story are extremly addictive. Sure, it strongly depends on what kind of man you are, but for me personally (as well as for my wife) the game is an absolute masterpiece. The only possible reason for your potential disappointment are wrong expectations.

    But all these disadvantages are eliminated by the incredible atmosphere, the originality of the game and the twisted and rather interesting plot.
    The atmosphere of the game is the main diamond for me, because these are the real post-apocalyptic world and moods.

It’s beautiful and the time spent in the world, where you see scattered traces of other players who have left bridges, protection and warnings along the way to guide you through the elements is a spellbinding experience. This is what happens when one person is given complete oversight over something as expansive as this: yeah, there's clumsy metaphors, corny dialogue and some bizarre mechanics but it's *complete* in a way that almost no other release is. Its themes, messaging and gameplay continuity are so constantly with you, and you're consistently being reminded of them without it getting old.

    I'd just say: don’t impulse-buy this because it’s a Kojima title and you're looking for MGS, you’ll be disappointed like so many on this website. Look into it properly and buy it for the game that it is.

    Es complicado explicar mis sensaciones con este juego. Debe de ser de los más polarizantes que haya visto nunca en base a las reviews que hay por aquí.

    Quitémonos primero las partes que creo que no tienen discusión: su apartado técnico y sonoro. Death Stranding es de los juegos que tocan el techo gráfico de la PS4. Un mundo abierto enorme, con climas dinámicos y ni una sola bajada de fps (va a 30, eso sí). En cierto momento del juego, te dan facilidades para atravesar el mundo más rápidamente y apenas he notado popping o ralentizaciones en ningún momento. Las texturas y modelados de personajes tienen muchísima calidad, y las animaciones... madre mía con las animaciones. Siendo un juego de quien es, con cinemáticas bastante largas a ratos, se agradece muchísimo que le pongan todo el empeño a las animaciones faciales y modelados de los personajes, sinceramente, están a una calidad que he visto en pocos juegos. Me deja perplejo como de bien han recreado a los actores que encarnan a estos personajes y, además, el doblaje (yo lo he jugado en español) es sublime.

    El apartado sonoro del título es también otra de sus grandes virtudes, y no solo por la música, que es espectacular, si no por el cuidado que se le han puesto a varios sonidos y efectos ambiente. El único pero es que creo que algunas canciones no suenan en el momento adecuado y se interrumpen con mucha facilidad, por lo que no te da tiempo a disfrutarlas plenamente. Como he dicho antes. el doblaje me parece muy bueno, tanto de personajes principales como secundarios.

    Jugablemente, Death Stranding es un título muy extraño. Literalmente su loop jugable se basa en recoger y entregar paquetes (o "carga", como se le llama en el juego), enfrentándonos a diversos obstáculos en ocasiones, como pueden ser grupos de enemigos, terrenos complicados, climas adversos, etc. El cómo, cuándo y cuántos paquetes lleva Sam lo decides mayoritariamente tú mismo.

    Es un juego de dar caminatas, literalmente, pero también es mucho más. El género, como lo define su creador, es el "social strand", donde varios jugadores cooperan en un mismo mundo para facilitarse las entregas los unos a los otros. Es decir, tú, como jugador, estarás solo en un tu mundo, pero te irás encontrando estructuras que han fabricado otros jugadores en los suyos, carga que hayan dejado tirada por ahí o señales que te avisen de peligros inminentes. Tu puedes hacer lo mismo, siendo la recompensa "likes" que te dejan el resto de jugadores si les gustan o les ayudan las estructuras que construyas. Al principio no me acababa de convencer la idea, pero aproximadamente después de 4 o 5 horas de juego (tiene un inicio muuuuuy lento) empecé a entender de que iba la cosa.

    Vayamos con el tema tabú de este título: Hideo Kojima y su carrera de cineasta frustrado. No diría que la historia de Death Stranding es especialmente buena, ni que sus personajes son memorables. A ratos he tenido la sensación de como si hubieran intentado hacer la típica del protagonista silencioso, pero solo a medias. Sam es extremadamente aburrido como personaje, exceptuando momentos muy contados. El resto no van mucho más allá y no por su interpretación, que, de nuevo, es sublime, si no por sus... diálogos, ¿sus formas de expresarse?, no lo sé. Hay algo en ellos que se siente artificial, que te hace darte cuenta de que no son personas de verdad. Además tengo que mencionar el empeño de Kojima darles nombres que oculten un "doble significado" que, lejos de ser profundo, me resulta bastante rídiculo y bochornoso. El personaje de Fragile repite durante todo el juego y hasta la saciedad una frase que debéis oír por vosotros mismos, porque yo no doy crédito de que el guionista (o quien sea responsable) le diese el visto bueno. El único personaje que creo que es muy bueno es el que interpreta Mads Mikkelsen y no lo detallaré para evitar spoilers.

    Lo que más me mola de Death Stranding es su ambietación. Tiene la capacidad de transmitirte la desesperanza que están viviendo en ese mundo y juega con conceptos muy interesantes, pero llevados de forma regular. Se nota mucho que el tito Koji quería meter un puntito de terror en el título y vaya que si lo consigue. Atravesar algunas zonas de EV ha sido para mí una de las experiencias más agobiantes que he vivido en un videojuego, aunque solo al principio del mismo, ya que la mecánica envejece muy rápido y al final se convierten en otro obstáculo más que sortear.

    Le he metido mucha caña por su historia, pero creo que Death Stranding es sin duda un buen juego y se nota mucho el cariño y empeño que le han puesto. No hay duda de que, guste o no, el título goza de una calidad que ya le gustaría tener a muchos otros videojuegos y te hace darle vueltas a ciertos temas que, con el COVID-19, están más presentes que nunca.

    Lo importante no es destino, si no el camino.

    El tedio con la recompensa.
    Lo simple en complejo.
    Es una experiencia única. No es para todos los públicos, pero, eso de "walk simulator" no le hace justicia.

    Death Stranding is a weird experience to say the least. While i enjoyed much of it the lows are so bad they could probably convince you to quit the game.

While i enjoyed much of it the lows are so bad they could probably convince you to quit the game. Weirdly enough it's a game I want everyone to experience but I don't know if I would ever recommend to anyone. It's like nothing you have ever played before and while it takes quite a bit to get into, once you get used to the gameplay loop you will fall in love with it as long as you have patience. It does start falling apart towards the later parts of the story and it really feels pointless after the credits roll, but during the first 20-25 hours of Death Stranding there is a lot of enjoyment to be had while playing. Visually it is also absolutely amazing, although the world can start getting a bit boring after 30-ish hours.

    While the story starts off very well and you become very immersed into the world's lore, it becomes quite stale after about 20 hours or so and Kojima ruins it all with his mandatory government conspiracy plot twist. It is pretty sad to see great actors trying to do the best with a truly horrendous script. There isn't a molecule of subtlety in any sentence of dialogue anywhere. It's all just a mess of terrible exposition and painfully preachy statements that repeat over and over and over.

    The last 3 hours of the game feel like punishment for every moment of fun you had in the prior 25 or so hours. If Death Stranding had ended on a high note I probably would have been able to look past all of its weaknesses but instead it just keeps dragging on and on after which it finishes with a whimper. For that I can't give it more than a 7/10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Un juego que regalado es caro.

    El tiempo que tienes q invertir en el, para mi, simplemente no vale la pena, con el trabajo y las obligaciones que muchos tenemos, no se puede desperdiciar 40 o 50 horas un juego que de las más de 12 horas que llevo jugadas son de lo peor que he visto en mucho tiempo.

    Las mecánicas son horribles y están completamente rotas, el desafío es nulo, el juego es aburridísimo, el menú son lo peor, la historia es de lo que menos puedo hablar, aunque la amenaza es estar a la altura del resto ... muy mal.

    Lo que no se es bajo que autoridad Hideo Kojima se piensa q le puede tomar el pelo así a la gente, no solo el dinero y los 60 pavos q vale, que que ese es otro tema ...

    Sino las horas de tiempo que tienes q invertir en este juego, esta claro que por lo que él logró después, en el último tramo parece que mejora (aunque no pondría la mano en el fuego por ello).

    Si no os queda ningún otro juego importante de esta generación, os sobra tiempo, dinero, y ten mucha gente jugadlo, de lo contrario salid huyendo, podéis hacer cosas mucho mejores con vuestro tiempo que jugar al Death Stranding.

    Yo aquí lo dejo, cero interés en terminarlo y seguir perdiendo el tiempo.

    Death stranding is not a walking simulator, its a message from Kojima himself, to keep being kind, stay connected and help the one needing it, we all walk through the obstacles and fight The mules in this game, but what Kojima intended was to show that we, at the end of the day are all the same and are all walking through the hard path.

There are no "wrong choices" and the bosses are not hard. I found the dialogue between the characters very weak at times. The first three chapters are very long but then the pace picks up and you feel like your finally making some headway.

    Los mejores gráficos que puede ofrecer la generación actual, al nivel de títulos como God of War o Uncharted 4 y sin duda uno de los puntos más fuertes del videojuego, los paisajes son bellísimos y los modelados de los personajes son soberbios, muy realistas y bien animados y las locuras de Hideo Kojima nunca se plasmaron mejor en un videojuego.

    Sonido: 10
    +Como todo juego importante de Sony, tiene la opción de cambiar el idioma del audio del juego, puedes oir las voces en inglés, español latino, castellano, portugués y francés, aunque en lo personal prefiero las voces originales en inglés.
    +La música es soberbia, tanto las melodías instrumentales como las canciones que aparecen en el juego y ayudan mucho a acentuar esa sensación de soledad, de que queda mucho camino por recorrer.
    -El videojuego no te permite reproducir estas canciones a voluntad durante el juego y además te bloquea Spotify.

    Jugabilidad 7:
    Básicamente el juego se trata de que eres un repartidor cuyo deber consiste en unificar a lo que queda de Estados Unidos conectándolos a través de una red denominada "red quiral", además de que debes cumplir con entregas que son necesarias para la sobreviviencia de la población pues ahora la gente vive aislada en bunkers. Muchos pedidos consisten en entregas víveres, sangre, medicinas, arte, datos, etc.

    + Originalidad, jugar a DS es una experiencia nueva, tiene una gran cantidad de elementos novedosos y aunque al principio puede llegar a ser un poco enredoso por tener que aprender tantas mecánicas nuevas te acostumbras mientras vas realizando las entregas, además de que el juego en sí no es muy difícil. Otra posibilidad muy importante es la de cooperar con otros jugadores en línea compartiendo equipo, suministros y la posibilidad de construir estructuras como puentes y refugios.

    + El juego ofrece mucha libertad para llevar a cabo las misiones. Puedes crear tu propio equipo, armas, herramientas e incluso vehículos, así como decidir tu estrategia para cumplir con las entregas, la ruta que seguirás y el orden en el que realizarás las entregas.

    - Puede llegar a ser un poco repetitivo en algunas porciones. El juego tiene 14 capítulos y hay algunos que parece que no tienen fin como el capítulo #3 y otros son verdaderamente cortos como el #4.

    - Tiene detalles sin pulir. Las escenas de combate las debieron hacer más variadas, porque si son muy similares entre sí, sobre todo los combates contra los jefes se llevan a cabo de la misma manera todos sin agregar elementos que pudieran hacerlos distintos. Otro detalle que no me gustó es que con apretar L2+R2 resuelves todos los problemas que puedas tener con equilibrar al personaje y la carga. Otro detalle, aunque menor es que a veces me morí en el juego por detalles muy molestos como un enfrentamiento con un jefe en el cual me quedé atorado entre un camión y una pared y en algunas ocasiones los controles no respondieron a la velocidad que yo lo deseaba, sobre todo al utilizar las opciones de la cruceta.

    Historia: 10
    La mejor parte del juego, sin duda. DS posee una historia realmente original y es un logro no sólo como videojuego, sino como una obra de ciencia ficción. He leído clásicos del género como Yo Robot, Dune, Starship Troopers, 1984, Un mundo feliz, etc y Death Stranding está al nivel de esas obras y es algo muy meritorio por parte de Hideo Kojima, el materializar una obra de ciencia ficción tan original, con personajes tan entrañables, además de crear un mundo y por si fuera poco la historia es muy vasta, compleja, con mucho "lore" para enriquecerlo por medio de los datos de entrevistas y correos que vas desbloqueando al cumplir con la tarea de unificar a America y si además al título le agregamos esa capacidad de sorprender al jugador con las "fumadas" al estilo Hideo Kojima que en DS encuentras al por mayor, pues la experiencia de jugarlo vale muchísimo la pena.

    Conclusión:
    Death Stranding es mucho más que un simple videojuego, es una gran historia de ciencia ficción pero vale la pena experimentar si te gusta el género, ya sea en películas o en libros. Sin embargo tanta originalidad lo aleja de los canones actuales de los videojuegos hace que no sea para todos y el videojuego te gustará sí:

    + Te gusta el género de ciencia ficción
    + Eres fan de los trabajos de Hideo Kojima
    + No esperas un juego muy tradicional con acción al por mayor como con Uncharted o God of War.
    + Disposición para ser paciente un poco con el juego, aprender nuevas mecánicas de juego que se salen de lo tradicional y aceptar que algunas partes del mismo son un poco pesadas pero que hay que continuar porque el juego vale muchísimo la pena, sobre todo al final de la historia donde se revelan muchos secretos, y somos testigos de las mejores actuaciones que hayamos visto en la historia de los videojuegos.

    On one hand, the story is great, the characters are interesting, the soundtrack is amazing, and it definitely has that Kojima vibe. But if you expect a lot of combat, you not gonna get much of it here. You're mostly just gonna walk from one big area to another, and that might not be you're idea for fun. Non the less, this game ain't crap.

    Отвратительная игра, Кодзима уже второй раз облажался, сначала выпустив пустой и недаделанный МГСV, а теперь это.
    Репетативный игровой процесс, тупые враги, мертвый и пустой мир, вся игра - сплошные почтовые квесты, половина персонажей сюжету не нужны, кошмарная физика транспорта, перегруженный интерфейс и постоянно повторяющиеся ролики по любому чиху. Направил героя в душ - надо раза 3

Направил героя в душ - надо раза 3 вызывать меню для пропуска ролика!
    Сюжет поначалу интригует, но во второй половине игры начинает попросту рассыпаться, Кодзима выдеюает рояль за роялем, уничтожая последние частички осмысленности.
    В игре только 1 плюс-очень хорошая подборка музыки, но и тут геймдизайнерская промашка - у героя нет плеера, в походах слушаем тишину и жалобы героя на то что он обоссался.

    If I knew coming into the game that the majority of me painstakingly having to balance packages on my back as I travel a diverse world I would have just saved myself the money. World is beautiful and voice acting and cutscenes are good but that’s about it.

    Such a fresh, unique gaming experience. It is a slow burner which requires patience and the story requires an open mind. I can understand that simpletons and kids will not enjoy this because it is too slow for them, not enough action for them, they don’t understand what the game is about. I only recommend it to open-minded, conscious people who don’t have ADHD. Masterpiece.

    Not shabby. I played about 65% of the game before having to put it down. Good graphics, voice acting, etc. All the things you would expect from a Kojima game. The only real complaint is the story just kinda gets lost. It has some great moments (for a short bit), but then you realize you have to travel across the entire map again. It just never grabs you. A 6.5 would be the best rating forNot shabby. I played about 65% of the game before having to put it down. Good graphics, voice acting, etc. All the things you would expect from a Kojima game.

    Свершилось! Наконец то я прошел эту игру и могу дать ей оценку. Ну что я могу сказать.....45 ЧАСОВ я потратил на прохождение, из них 42 часа я наблюдал спину Сэма!
    Начну с неприятного лично для меня.
    Я честно не понимаю, кто Кодзиму называет "гением", я думаю это то же самое, что называть Дрона Попова "богом Кузей", на мой взгляд, он не создал ни одной, прям, гениальной игры. И сейчас, у меня, на протяжении всего прохождения, было стойкое ощущение, что геймплейно я прохожу MGS 5. И вообще называть человека гением при жизни, не стоит, зазнается. Я думаю именно это мы и наблюдаем в данной игре.
    Крутая завязка, 30 часов тупых заданий типа "сходи, принеси, убей", с беготней туда обратно, несколько крутых вставок с ничего не объясняющим сюжетом и фееричная концовка на 1,5 часа в которой и рассказывается для чего мы все это делали! Ну ребят, гениальные игры не делают растягиванием игрового времени, а тем более по шаблонам. Ужасно однообразный геймплей!!! Но если считать Кодзиму гением. Какие претензии к гению, сожрем и так!
    Забегу вперёд. Боссы тоже странные, они очень красивые, но, за исключением Хикса ну и Унгера, убиваются тупым закидыванием гранатами. Странно.
    Теперь о хорошем. Оно в игре есть и не мало.
    Начнем с сюжета, мне он понравился, жаль, что подаётся он очень странно.
    Далее герои. Они ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНЫ! Каждый со своей тайной, великолепно прописаны (если бы так было в Horizon Zero Dawn, стала бы игрой десятилетия;)), а так же анимация!!! Ё моё "Bethesda" когда же ты научишься в своих играх такую же делать?
    Продолжаю, музыка, да японцы умеют её делать для игр.
    Ёлки палки игра очень красива, природа прорисована великолепно. Первые часы просто ходишь и смотришь по сторонам и та самая музыка добавляет кайфа!
    Ну и всех бьёт АТМОСФЕРА! Именно она заставила меня не забросить игру на 3м уровне. И вот эти пять факторов вытягивают всю игру.
    Как жаль, что этот красивый, проработанный мир как гондон натянут на глобус бестолковых однообразных заданий. Повторяю ещё раз растягивание прохождения это не гениальность!
    Резюмирую:). Игра явно не тянет на гениальность, но и плохой назвать её нельзя. Если бы Кодзима сместил баланс либо в сторону сюжета, убрав лишнее хождение. Либо наполнил это хождение бОльшим смыслом, экшеном, движухой не знаю. Могла бы получиться игра уровня The Last of Us +-. А то движуха начинается только к 10 эпизоду. Это игра, как говорится в хорошем смысле, на одно прохождение. Прошел, оставил в памяти великолепный мир, а второй раз в игре делать нечего! Разве это похоже на гениальность? Такие игры как The Last of Us или BioShock я лично прошел несколько раз, хотя они линейны, в них хочется вернуться. В Death Stranding нет. Эта игра сугубо нишевая.
    И еще убедительная просьба ПРОЙДИТЕ ИГРУ ДО КОНЦА и не только до титров, но и после них, прежде чем ставить 0 или 1, ПРОЙДИТЕ!

    Queixo caído do início ao fim.
    História completamente original e bem estruturada.
    Gráficos estonteantes.
    Gameplay serve o propósito da história, e quem compreendeu a história compreende o porquê.
    Provavelmente um dos melhores jogos da geração.

No me decepciona para nada. No pretende ser ni es un GTA, por lo que algunos análisis de usuarios están siendo un poco injustos diciendo que es basura. Para mi es un buen juego de momento. Y tiene pinta que me va a seguir agradando. Los gráficos son espectaculares, la banda sonora con los paisajes son del 10 y la jugabilidad de momento mezcla sigilo con gestión de los recursos y el viaje, por lo que me parece algo nuevo o al menos no he jugado nada parecido. Digamos que se concentra en el viaje entre A y B y no en lo que encontramos. en B que también es interesante. Planear todo es importante.

    Ahora despues de terminarlo: SIN SPOILER La historia es muy rara y profunda (como todas las de Hideo), hay que decirlo pero bueno se puede llegar a entender aunque bueno no es tan impresionante como esperaba. Eso si, estoy contento con el juego despues de acabarlo e incluso yo diria que despues de jugarlo es cuando te adaptas a las mecanicas y "descubres el juego". Estoy pensando en rejugarlo otra vez pero aun no.

    확실히 코지마의 장점은 컷씬이 아닌 게임플레이 그 자체에서 나온다. 이런 기획의 게임이 성공한다는것 자체가 참 놀랍지만 그러면서도 스토리텔링에서 보이는 과도한 자신감은 항상 거슬린다.

    Absolutely amazing. The slow burn is just what I wanted in a kojima game. The setting, environments, story , music and unique gameplay are absolutely great. And the gameplay is surprisingly fun. Probably my favorite kojima game to date
    This is not for people who only like action filled repetitive shooters. This game is for the open-minded thoughtful players.

    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. [Issue#299]

    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.
