    This game is not the bad, I feel the gameplay can be frustrating sometime, but it's easy to control. The BT are easy to fight and to dodged, The Mule (the human enemy) can be challenging at first but when you get the gun it can be really easy to fight them. Problem I have is that the mission are really boring, at the beginning hours of the game its was fine but doing the same thing againThis game is not the bad, I feel the gameplay can be frustrating sometime, but it's easy to control.

    Death Stranding é uma caminhada solitária e reflexiva. Assim como a vida. Se você só assiste à filmes preguiçosos, não tem o costume de ler, quase nunca reflete sobre a vida e apenas vive em modo automático: fique longe deste game.


    Fazia anos que não tinha uma experiência tão única com games. 10/10, sem dúvida alguma.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Increible que este sea el primer juego que me haga hacerle una pequeña reseña. El mayor desastre de Kojima, el tipo ya venia dando tumbos con el desastrozo metal gear solid v, donde kojima demuestra no tener ni idea de como hacer un mundo abierto y con este walking simulator lo reafirma. Un mundo abierto donde tu unica tarea es llevar paquetes de aca para alla, en donde los bugs te hacen romper el juego y saltarte todas las aburridas mecanicas que Kojima quiere obligarte a jugar. Una historia ridicula y pretenciosa que solo una persona con un nivel intelectual muy bajo llegaria a admirar, las peores fisicas que se pueden ver en esta generación junto a otros juegos y sin lugar a dudas el juego mas inflado por parte de la prensa y los horrendos fanboys de la diva Kojima. No le doy un 0 porque hay gente detras de Kojima que trabjaaron duro en esta porqueria.

    Incredible that this is the first game that makes me do a little review. Kojima's biggest disaster, the guy was already stumbling with the disastrous metal gear solid v, where kojima demonstrates having no idea how to make an open world and with this walking simulator he reaffirms it. An open world where your only task is to take packages from here to there, where the bugs make you break the game and skip all the boring mechanics that Kojima wants to force you to play. A ridiculous and pretentious story that only a person with a very low intellectual level would come to admire, the worst physics that can be seen in this generation along with other games and without a doubt the most inflated game by the press and the horrendous Diva Kojima fanboys. I don't give it a 0 because there are people behind Kojima who worked hard in this crap.    … Expand

    This game is polarizing for some...but do not believe the "shallow walking simulator" complaints. It is a game about deliveries from point A to point B, yes...but the gameplay is refined and the decisions made while going from point A to point B...what you are carrying, how to approach an objective, inventory management, and smooth controls make this game one of my favorites of all time!

    Death Stranding has some strong points (masterful sound and beautiful scenery) but falls off from being a must play/experience. It is either a blind love for Hideo Kojima's work or a hidden gem of its time.
    Time will tell.

    Overall a solid game. The acting was fantastic, but sometimes the cinematic cut scenes were overly long; whereas, long periods of the game were slow (which some may enjoy). The story however, came to a great ending.

    It’s just a walking simulator. I think I’ve had more fun watching paint dry than playing this game. Game play is super shallow. I returned this game within the first two days of owning it.

    Cutscenes way too long, and the plot is too complicated. I feel like I would need a second playthrough to really grasp all the details, at the very end of the game it all starts to make sense, but I feel writers should find better narrative ways to get us to understand everything while we play, somehow the way it was told is to ambitious and complex for a video game.. Who wants to read hundreds of found documents, and emails to completely understand a games plots?
    Game play is uneventful and not saying it needs to be action packed, im all in for slow relaxing games, I enjoyed it most of the time.. but the game does not surprise very often. And finally the scenery is not THAT beautiful as some say.. looks artificial and too digital.
    Menus are too complicated and it takes for ever to organize your inventory for each mission.
    All in all, I still played it to the end. It was a satisfying 'every now and then 1hr of gaming' perfect for relaxing after a days work.

    I am Not a 'gamer' but enjoy playing (good) video games every now and then.

    First of all its not a game for everyone. If you expect action game don't buy it. For 95% of time it's about delivering packages and shooting is remaining 5%. Game play i would say is 6-7 max but its anyway very addictive :) story 8-9 so in overall i give it 8.

    PS Ending could be shorter.

Прохождение заняло у меня около 44 часов, за которые я выполнил только ОДНУ побочную миссию (и то, случайно, пока ещё не понял, что они не влияют на сюжет), и с появления мотоцикла практически не ходил пешком. Это нереально бодро играющийся симулятор курьера с кучей увлекательных механик (погрузчик-скейтборд, канаты, сама ходьба). Сюжет просто взорвал мне мозг, и я несколько дней не мог отойти, плохо спал, хотя подавался иногда просто отвратительно: я сейчас про 10-минутные катсцены с Хартмэном, который мне не импонировал ни секунды и про предпоследнюю главу, в которой нужно сидеть 20 минут на пляже, изредка бесцельно пробегаясь между нереально унылыми монологами сумасшедшей и невероятно скучной женщины в красном платье – я сейчас не шучу, она 20 минут без остановки говорит, и у вас нет возможности её не слушать, это самый настоящий симулятор женатого мужика. Что касается актёров: если Нормана Ридуса и Мадса я люблю и уважаю с Пушера и Ходячих, то Сейду и Маргарет мне прям люто не нравились до этой игры. В Нитях (Выходе) Смерти у обеих это лучшие роли за карьеру. Монстры просто великолепны. Боёвка и боссы офигительны. Злодеи (с голосом Джоэла) гениальны. Биби умилителен.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was a Platinum trophy pursuit for me. What it hopefully means is I should be able to offer a thorough impression of my experiences with the game.

    I read a number of user reviews saying the game is one thing, which is basically walk > deliver > walk > deliver. And honestly, the game 'is' that. You've probably seen video clips of gameplay. It's just what it is. But only 'just' that for the first couple of episodes anyway. It's a bit of a disservice because this game opens up the more you play with the addition of motorcycles, trucks, structure builds, floater carriers, shelters, and zip lines.

    All these things mean you rarely have to simply 'walk' unless the mission asks that of you, or you're in the snow and setting up your zip line network, etc. But yeah, the basic premise of the game is the same the whole way along: deliveries.

    For me, the part of the game worth celebrating was the 'social' part. Coming to rely on others for their bridges, ladders, generators, shelters early on. Your own structure builds and contributions then help others, that again help you back further by letting you form better 'strand' links with the best 'liked' players out there. It's a very cool connected concept. Kojima should be commended for at least attempting something so different.

    Is it fun? This is the thing, the game ultimately isn't exactly 'fun' in my experience. A bit frustrating? Addictive? Yes and yes. And there are a lot of deliveries, I mean A LOT if you're planning on going for that 100% trophy.

    It's a flawed game in a few ways.. some small things, some bigger things. I think the game will suit a certain player. Are you into being a completionist? You are ok with repetition? A grind is something you're waiting for? Looking for an eccentric Kojima story? If this is what you've been missing then the game is for you. Unfortunately the story is often incomprehensible.

    Cut scenes. There are a few that repeat some animations which you have to manually skip through.
    How they expect anyone to find it fun to skip cut scenes that you shouldn't have to is beyond me (e.g. Monster drink consumption in your shelter).

    It's fair to say the pace, especially early on is questionable. You may spend a crazy amount of your time on episode 3 alone, and, if you make it past that, you'll have some cool different elements to enjoy. But I believe many won't want to. And this is a problem.

    If fun isn't your operative concern when going into this game but instead a more surreal and addicting experience, then this is your thing. But owing to how divisive this game is likely to be, I can only be honest. On balance this is a 5/10. It's very courageous, but it doesn't quite all work for me.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Death Stranding is a revolutionary out of this world breathtaking masterpiece!
    Game is very symbol, rich with details that kept my mind always at work trying so hard to grasp as many theories they keep throwing at me.
    The ideas in this game are so Grand, Big Bang, mysteries of life & death - I loved the way they used the extinction of dinosaurs & mammals and linked it to the game theme so easily.
    I will never understand how people got bored when the game always renews itself, shooting becomes possible all of a sudden – it included boss fights, and the adrenaline rush episodes made only for the terrorizing Clifford Unger.
    Main theme is obviously connection, and bringing people together especially while building roads and everyone contributes with little material they can spare to build for tomorrow as if it’s saying we can only live through tomorrow together and how people are as good as dead in isolation.
    The Game could be also about America’s predicament, how it was meant to be a land of freedom & dreams – now it is anything but.
    I think it’s based on realism – how one must make every effort brick by brick just like in the real world.
    The sci-fi elements of this game just blew my mind – TimeFall causing accelerated aging, cryptobytes, and thermonuclear weapons….

While I really liked the underlying story, the rest of the game is just boring. As others have mentioned you spend more time trying to balance your items on a mostly uneven world over anything else. The sheer level of frustration in this game is enough where I actually regret spending time and money on this. How annoying is it when you have a vehicle with all of your resources only to have it get stuck in a ditch you can't get out of?

    Building the road is a waste of time and even after you build it there are destinations that it is so far out of the way that you spend so much time going around other areas. They couldn't build a roadway across the later part of the mountain??? Also the cargo truck is so ridiculously slow...like who cares about realism...I want to get from point A to B and not have to spend 5 minutes driving to it.

    And that gets me to the mountain. We have these vehicles to get around the area but they couldn't create a snowmobile to get around the mountain? Instead I have to walk like I am in molasses and while in some sections can't recover my stamina because I am mid way through a mission. I ended up falling so many times and losing my cargo.

    I would say avoid this game unless you feel like you want to just be a UPS/FedEx delivery driver in a simulation, get frustrated, and an added storyline.    … Expand

    I liked i, especially at the discount price. Story was awesome, but overworked, to many cut scenes too much explanation, too many characters. The twist in the end was great, but we could have got there quicker without all the other dressing.

    This game literally is not for everyone since most people might see it as a walking simulator with advanced graphics, what I see is death stranding story is more into psychological drama theme rather than action theme

With that said it's definitely a one of a kind game. As Kojima himself put it this is the first "Strand Type" game. The gameplay revolves around the main character Sam "porter" Bridges (Norman Reedus) in a post apocalyptic world where Porters (delivery men) are humanities last connection to eachother and the only way to get vital supplies and resources in a world thats too dangerous or treachorous for your average person to undergo. In this world there are BT's (essentially ghost) that liter areas where timefall (rain that ages whatever it touches) pours down and turn the game into a stealthy crawl as you evade detection from these otherworldly human shadows that can only be seen while standing still. This provides areas of tension where you'd like to rush through as quick as possible to avoid damage to whatever packages you may be carrying but detection means you're in for a fight and will have to worry about being dragged off into a battle with a large enemy while losing your gear. This brings me to the combat which is by far the games weakest point. Thd combat against other humans ehich are rogue Porters crazed by packages or something like that basically they want your packages and will try to kill you with guns and various other weapons the catch is you can't kill them you can only knock them out because killing them would create more BT's and make your life harder. This makes the combat rather annoying as you only have limited options to deal with them dispite having access to handguns, assault rifles and even rocket launchers later in the game. This is helped a little by the addition of non-lethal weapons but thats not nearly as fun right. The BT's are far worse of an enemy though. They will often times be just small humans and upon detection you can use various weapons designed for taking them out but the only thing that works is grenades. This again makes combat feel terrible and makes you just want to be as stealthy as possible with 140kg of gear on your back. The story though is where this game really shines without giving any spoilers the cinimatics are top tier just like you'd expect in a Kojima game. If the gameplay doesn't keep you the story most certainly will. If the combat was better i'd give it a perfect score. I just wish they had a new game+ in it so i wouldn't lose all of my time consuming structures i built… Expand

Show me another game that comes close to being a 'pack marching simulator' and I'll bite my tongue.

    The story in Death Stranding is everything you would expect from Kojima. Confusing, convoluted and melodramatic. The whole plot centres around your character who acts as a courier while trying to link data system up from facility to facility in order to connect people together. All this amidst a world that has been devastated by a cataclysmic event that brought ghost like entities into our realm. That's probably the easiest way to describe the plot, anything beyond that dives into insanity territory. All I can say is, whether you end up loving or hating the overall plot, you can't say it's not original.

    The game-play is where this game gets a big thumbs up for me. It is a love it or hate it affair (just like the story), but if it's your bag, you'll be hooked in an instant. The game-play predominately consists of your character delivering packages from one place to the next. The challenge stems from how you get there. The multiple hazards along route, such as enemy 'MULES' trying to steal your gear, the 'BT' ghostly entities trying to stop your progress or the rainfall slowly destroying your cargo all pose a significant threat. However, I found the most enjoyable challenge was trying to navigate the terrain itself. This game does an amazing job of conveying how it feels to carry such a heavy weight over long distances (after spending 15 years in the army I can vouch). Once each order had been completed, I felt a great sense of relief over and over again. On top of all that, the game looks great and gives the overall experience an 'otherworldly' feel. Coupled with some great sound and a decent soundtrack, you have an overall atmosphere that's hard to match.

    I loved my run of this game. The cast and voice acting kept me engaged, even if the story was a bit too much to swallow. But the addictive nature of the game-play itself is why I stayed. In saying that, this won't be for everyone. If travelling in game for long periods of time put you off, maybe not for you. But if you are into an immersive atmospheric experience that is completely original, give it a crack for sure.    … Expand

    The gameplay is just tedious, so tedious and uninspired that it really lets down a stunningly beautiful game with a fantastic soundtrack. I really wish I hadn't bought this game at launch. Probably the purchase I regret most out of any PS4 game I have purchased. It is not worth more than £10 - if you're lucky enough to be reading this ( and haven't bought it yet) then just wait until the game is in the bargain bin and you might actually feel quite a bit more positive about it.    … Expand

If you are looking for over the top action, don't look here. So much of travel isn't just walking as much as it is observing and managing. The terrain in and of itself is an enemy waiting to take you out. I find that fascinating and honestly exciting because the threat never really leaves. The stealth element of this game is great. I genuinely love that any death in this game can have a serious repercussion. It's just so far away from the norm. Reminds me of the glory days of a no kill MGS run. People will say what they will.

    The emotional depth thanks to Kojima's storytelling and craziness makes for an awesome experience!

The atmosphere in this game is like no other, and many times throughout my playthrough I found myself sort of wandering around like I was in my own Denis Villeneuve film, admiring the vast and empty landscape. Death Stranding really made me feel a lot of different emotions. Every now and then a shiver would send down my spine, whether it be in amazement or fear. No matter how strange and "Kojima-esque" the narrative got, I was still completely engaged throughout. All of the actors' outstanding performances (a special "Bravo!" for my man, Norman Reedus) were complimented by an excellent script that truly provided an unforgettable video game experience. Although the boss fights were few and far between, every single one of them was hauntingly unique (the shots of the boss in the downtown battle are *chefs kiss*). The soundtrack is one of the best I've heard in a while, adding so much emotional weight to the story. Death Stranding is truly unlike any other video game you will play. For some people, that's a good thing, and for others it's not. You be the judge.

    The single biggest issue with this game just like Metal Gear Solid V is its length. I felt like MGS V stretched for too long ending up making me bored. The main appeal of "walking simulators" is that they deliver beautiful and unique SHORT experiences so that the player doesn't get fed up and gives up. it's a shame, because Death Stranding universe, plot, characters, and overall lore are brilliant. However, I can't deny that a lot of times its side and main-quests feel repetitive. I have no issue with "walking simulators" and I love works such as Journey and What Remains of Edith Finch but Death Stranding is too long for its own good.

    Make no mistake, the game is a visual trip and sometimes it is quite innovative and incredibly detailed but its major misstep is how repetitive it can get.

    Would I recommend this game still? Yes, it's definitely not a must-play and I'd even recommend you to stay away from it if you can't stand even short "walking simulators". But if you're looking for a unique and bizarre post-apocalyptic sci-fi/dark fantasy story you should give this a try if you believe you can endure its repetitive nature. There's also a plus if you enjoy interacting and helping other players, building and using other players' structures is really cool.    … Expand

    Death Stranding is a walking simulator. Yout main objective is to be a post man and take items from point A to point B… And it's amazing. When travelling through a new area there will be nothing but your wits to help you traverse the wild and varied terrain, all while grappling the weather. You must utilise ladders,  ropes and other craftable equipment including vehicles to conquer rivers, cliffs, mountains, forests, canyons, etc. On top of this, either avoid or combat certain enemies. Once you make it to point B, you will bring new settlements into the "chiral network"... this is where the game gets super cool. Once on the network, areas have a chiral bandwidth. This will allow you to build, bridges, roads, zip lines, post boxes, charging stations, shelters, etc which will help you conquer the terrain and make it your b$@tch. This sandbox element is endlessly fun and something you spend ages, constantly improving and making more efficient.


    BUT also with the chiral network, comes the strand system! The strand system is your connection to other players in the same world. You will have access to some of their structures which they have built in their own worlds and they will have access to some of yours!! Also you can see player signs… a way of marking "enemies ahead" and stuff. There is a like system, you can give however many likes to structures as you want within reason and likes from players is how you level up your character. So if you find something super useful like a well placed bridge, you quite often take a second to spam like the player's structure.


    This gives everyone the incentive to create things that all players will find useful. The more useful your structures the more likes you'll receive, the more players will choose to have your structures around… and so on.


    This makes the world feel alive and ever changing. It's just simply one of the best things to have ever been put into a game ever. I would recommend playing this game JUST to experience this aspect.    … Expand

    When it comes to the story, well, I just don't get it. There were moments of great emotion, in which I actually felt attached to Sam and the other charachters but most of the time it just fell short. Lots and lots of dialogues in which they try to explain the world and the sci-fi tech involved that didn't catch my interest. I managed to end the game and the ending is not even bad, but it's not enough for me to give more than a 5.
    However, while the videogame industry keep giving us ripetitive and copy-pasted open world games, I appreciate that Kojima tried something different, although the end result disappointed me. If the game hadn't been made by him, it would have been probably received worse    … Expand

    Muy lindo pero no es una película y no un juego. La jugabilidad es nula, lo importante son las cinemáticas.

    Obra maestra. Es una experiencia nunca antes vista o sentida. Debo admitir que la primera vez que lo jugué sentí fuerte desilusión, pero me decidí a jugarlo un poco más y debo decir que este juego es una obra de arte

    Это потрясающая игра! Чувствуется, что эта игра делалась с душой. В ней шедевральный сюжет и увлекательный геймплей. Эта игра не похожа ни на одну игру, в которую я когда, либо играл. Это был очень смелый шаг, но Kojima Productions смогла оправдать ожидания. Нечасто я испытываю такие эмоции, как при игре в death stranding.Это потрясающая игра!

    You can find a great a story experience and kojima's amazing cinematically experience maybe there is some lack of gameplay but I think the world in this game has a great ambiance and it is unique adventure that you can not find anywhere. it is a new type of game. I agree it my appeal to everyone but it worth to be played

    Is the awesome game. El mejor juego que he visto en mi vida casi a la altura de God Of War 4. Mi 10/10. A veces pienso que este juego pudo dar un poco más pero aun así me encanto demasiado y espero que salga algún tipo de secuela para poder jugar y seguir disfrutando del invento de Kojima.

    While ill go ahead and say i really enjoyed death stranding. I find it hard to recommend to anyone. Im not really sure what niche this game fills. While the story is, Kojima-standard, wild, all over the place and steeped in technobable, it is a slower, uncanny narrative.

I find it hard to recommend to anyone. Im not really sure what niche this game fills. While the story is, Kojima-standard, wild, all over the place and steeped in technobable, it is a slower, uncanny narrative.

    The gameplay is surprisingly varied. Having to maintain balance up and down hills and mountains, even over rocks, makes up a lot of the game play. Once you get access to vehicles, more weapons and tools, the game play really opens up. There is 3rd person shooting here, though you can get assault rifles, shotguns, and such(not to mention their necessary non-lethel versions) it sometimes is easier just bringing a bologun. You are restricted by what you carry, how heavy it is and how big it physically is. So bringing an assault rifle, extra ammo and blood grenades, any possibly tools or gear you need, can stack up on you fast. There is also a invisible multiplayer, objects such as ladders, bridges, climbing rope, etc can appear in your world placed by other players in their world. Vice versa, you may put a ladder in a heavily travelled area and get a lot of use from other players whose game it appeared in.

    Like i said, i find it hard to recommend, youre either interested in this game and its odd systems and its very kojima story, and probably will get it regardless of what anyone says. Or youve decided its not for you, looks boring and werent really on the fence about it.    … 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.
