    I understand that deliver package makes many people feel boring. But I think the most important thing is creative. The fantastic world and outstanding design make the game different from Shoot or Chop game. The story is also unexpected amazing and give gamer new experience.
    It combined 3 types which most game belong one of those, shoot, action, strategy build

    I've waited over a year before I bought the game, I was discouraged by the mixed reviews. Now, after completing the main story and most side activities in almost 120 hours I can easily say it's one of the best games I ever played (and I played hundreds of them).

    I've waited over a year before I bought the game, I was discouraged by the mixed reviews. Now, after completing the main story and most side activities in almost 120 hours I can easily say it's one of the best games I ever played (and I played hundreds of them).

    Death Stranding is a kind of anti-game, taking apart what video games really are and what is their purpose. Many people call it a walking simulator and at the first glance it really is just that. The trick is that going from one point to another, figuring out the routes, making choices, building structures that will help you and others to traverse difficult terrain gave me more fun than vast majority of action-packed games ever did. Making deliveries became an addiction for me for many hours. You don't have to shoot people to have fun fighting obstacles in a game.

    The other thing is the story, which is incredibly deep and moving near the end of the game. I would compare it to the best sci-fi films in history, like 2001: Space Odyssey or Interstellar. It's epic but also touching and intimate. It makes you wonder what's the meaning of life, what will happen in the future, it questions your beliefs and morality. It left me literally in tears at the end of the game and I will never forget that.

    At last, the graphics and music. It's a delicious cherry on top. Almost every frame in the game could be a perfect wallpaper, it's so mesmerising. The thing I keep coming to the most is probably the music though. It's one the best soundtracks ever. Ryan Karazija, who made most of the songs in the game, is one of the biggest musical discoveries for me in the last decade.

    I love this game. It has its flaws, like shallow fighting system, little bugs and glitches, but it's constantly on my mind and I can't stop thinking about it. I was never a Kojima fan, I never cared about MGS series. Buy now I'm waiting eagerly what his next creation will be.

    Graphic and style was perfect, even the story was interesting, but you can’t make a videogame with hours and hours of videos, and just a little time of real gameplay that often was very boring. Dear Kojima, if you want to make a movie then make it but this time you had to do a videogame and you didn’t. Very disappointing.

    What i find negative is the fact that game need imo good 10-15 hours to start showing it colors. It starts really slow with giving only hints of what could come. That filters of course many players, as not anyone had a time and patience today. Me myself was playing after my family went sleep so i had a lonely time for me. And it benefited the expirience! But back on the bad things. Steering sucks at this title. Anytime i need to go offroad it just felt like steering a can. Mules are no challange and are too few of them. The world felt empty... but i need to say after 20h o find that actually nice. It let me chill after busy day and enjoy the views.
    Story - the stand out part of the title. Its original and full of hitting moments. I cried like 2 times during the ending. It something that really impacted me as a player.
    Graphics - just wow.
    Music - hard to rate as the game goes almost silent most of the time... But as you going downhill after that hard walkthrough and game starts playing low roar.. wow.
    I will not make it longer. As i loved it as it was 10/10 i must give it a 8.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I too was someone that saw this game coming with previews and the reviews I saw really put me off seeing as though it appeared to really just be package delivery boy the game so I didn't buy it. However I just bought the game 4 days ago and I seriously couldn't be more excited to keep playing. About 5 hrs in definitely starts to feel like your doing nothing but after you get to the wind farm things really start to pick up. If your playing or haven't tried it yet all you need to know is yes the beginning is a bit slow but the story keeps you motivated. However if you feel it's starting to drag than just stick to main story missions. After that just make it at least to the lake. Give it to the lake and I promise you will not be able to put it down. I totally understand why people hate this game as its definitly not for everyone. But it is really a fun great game and I'm not even normally a Kojima fan but after this game I sure as hell am a fan kow. This game is great and only gets an 8 because some times it doesn't really drag for a little and a few cheap feeling times enemies caught me that were just impossible to avoid but oh so much fun to try and run away before your able to fight lol Expand

    The stag and the pool.

    It is hard to rate Death Stranding, especially for someone who has played and holds dear Kojima's creations for over 20 years now. I was predisposed to like the game and fully enjoyed 100+ hours for full completion, but the game did not hold up to the initial expectations. It deserves a strong 8, but not more.

    It is hard to rate Death Stranding, especially for someone who has played and holds dear Kojima's creations for over 20 years now. I was predisposed to like the game and fully enjoyed 100+ hours for full completion, but the game did not hold up to the initial expectations. It deserves a strong 8, but not more.
    Story - this is what it's all about, right?!
    After all the mindblowing trailers and mystified info the expectations were obviously over the top. Did the game deliver? Well, not quite. The overly convoluted story is fascinating, the exceptional production value is apparent, well, mostly, excessively repetitive cutscenes during pick-ups and deliveries spoil the impression a bit. But the biggest issue stems from the unseriousness of the presentation. Being sometimes mocking and silly boded well for MGS series, even it's sometimes deliberate cheesiness fit well. But that doesn't go well with Death Stranding, moreover, it crosses the line from entertaining to ridiculous. It gives the impression that Kojima didn't trust himself to present the story in the full seriousness. The overly cheesiness (breaking the fourth wall you say?!) and silliness at some points pull the player out of the immersion and enjoyment.

    Gameplay - this is what everybody was concerned about at the beginning and where the game arguably would fall short: BORING. I can feel others who think like that, but not me. I genuinely enjoyed playing the game. Of course the gameworld and overall atmosphere contributed a lot. There's a constant haunting serenity in Death Stranding, where even strolling from A to B is satisfying. But of course there's not only that. The gameplay is an evolution of MGS V in some sense. Where many games do a good job of providing a smooth progression curve, or upfront allow to play a short portion with a leveled up character, to give a glimpse of what's to come, Death Stranding is unforgiving (especially if you play on Hard difficulty). You are thrown into this hostile world with only a few tools to survive and it's genuinely hard at the beginning, but once you progress, you gain more experience and more gadgets to help you with the deliveries. The progression does not merely make the game easier, but elevates the gameplay to a new level, where the whole gamestyle changes. And when passing through the locations you've visited earlier, you catch yourself occasionally reminiscing on the troubles you've had. The early routine is mainly about anxiously navigating from start to the destination, but as you progress, especially if you go for 100% completion, you spend more time planning optimal routes and resources, and don't hesitate to confront BTs and Mules. Here the whole shared world concept deserves mentioning. Once you open new areas and connect them to the network, you begin sharing the game world with other players. Some aspects of that are very well thought through, like upgrading, repairing and using the structures of other players, or having your structures upgraded and repaired by the others. The structures that prove to be useful are being well taken care of(and of provide many 'likes' - an in-game rating). Some other concepts though, like donating materials, delivering other players' lost cargoes don't provide enough incentive and seem redundant.

    Verdict.
    The game for sure generated divergent opinions. Some consider it Kojima's best creation, others claim Death Stranding is simply an overhyped junk. I say it's definitely worth trying as it provides some unique experience and an interesting story. But once you start, you need to overcome the initial frustration and let the game grow on you.

I gave this game a 9 instead of a 10 because it’s combat is not that good but it doesn’t matter because it’s not the main focus of the game, also the way the main character interacts with the environment could sometimes (only sometimes) feel a little bit unnatural.

Kojima calls it a new “Strand” genre where while you (and everyone else) play the campaign solo you are creating connections amongst each other and help to rebuild the world of Death Stranding. This coming from someone who really has no time to master the complexity of open worlds or their lore. More for people who like slower CIV and strategy games but enjoy RPGs. Very engaging visuals.

I walked up Mount Chiliad in GTA V just to enjoy the graphics. I always faced video games above the challenges, as a traveler. Death Stranding is a game made for me. Cross the mountains, cross rivers and forests, enjoy the beauty of the trees and the dazzling gray scenery. I have never felt so calm playing a game. I would just dispense with the fights with the EPs. The story is wonderful. Thank you Kojima. It's the best game ever in my opinion. Expand

    The A-list cast of characters is stunning and the amount of work that went into creating this experience is nothing short of outstanding innovation that will revolutionize the gaming industry.

    Of all the games that seem overly pushed and heavily marketed, this one lives up to those standards. Cons: you will be heavily confused and frustrated the first ten hours. But the payoff is absolutely worth it!

    Brand new concept of gameplay that became addictive. The story was ‘meh’ but i did like the connectivity to other players and helping out in the world. I would suggest going in with an open mind. I racked up a 90hour playthrough to complete and still playing after. Hope more content to come

    1) Monotonia disarmante, cosa odia il videogiocatore, fate dal punto A al punto B, e torna indietro. Questo gioco ne fa la sua forza.
    2) Si passa dal una difficoltà estrema data dalle prime CA all’esageratamente facile appena si ha il primo fucile.
    3) Boss figth fatte MALISSIMO, pessime, gestite male che ti fan bestemmiare, non perché difficili ma perché fatte male, esempio la scazzottata con higgs o prima la CA colossale.
    4) I mezzi, il veicolo a 4 ruote va letteralmente dove vuole appena c’è un po’ di salita si gira senza un motivo, la moto si pianta nei granelli di sabbia.
    5) La storia, confusionaria, spiegata male, con buchi di trama e forzature peggio che i film della MCU. Un brano dei PinkFloyd è più comprensibile senza essere sotto effetto di acidi.
    6) È frustrante, come può del pesce, si del fresco bisogna consegnate, rovinarsi perché cadi ( senza motivo perché capita che inciampi nell’aria ) come un reperto archeologico... 7) la presenza dell’online è fondamentale per godersi il titolo ma troppo invasivo, si passa dal nulla dell’inizio a 57 ponti, 111 caselle postali, 89 teleferiche

    Death Stranding is without a doubt one of the weirdest games I've ever had the privilege of playing which I suppose is to be expected from one gaming's greatest icon's himself. I can understand where people are coming from when they say this game isn't for everyone because the way I see it, most people think of fun video games as primarily just mindless hack and slashing, shooting others,Death Stranding is without a doubt one of the weirdest games I've ever had the privilege of playing which I suppose is to be expected from one gaming's greatest icon's himself. I can understand where people are coming from when they say this game isn't for everyone because the way I see it, most people think of fun video games as primarily just mindless hack and slashing, shooting others, and innovative gameplay but not delivering packages or complex stories but to be completely honest with you, after putting more than 100 hours into this game for the platinum, I personally believe the people who are giving this game a 0 didn't even bother playing this because this game is so much more than just a lifeless open world delivery game. The main thing to understand what I mean is that I wouldn't describe this world as "lifeless" since there's plenty of lost cargo along the path meaning you can decide to stop and quickly pick it up making sure it's a mindless point A to B path with nothing to look at since the lost cargo all over the place will make sure you keep a careful eye all over the place. It's not even like there's nothing to look at even without the lost cargo since the graphics are PHENOMENAL even for a base PS4 to complement the atmosphere to ensure it's both relaxing which I can imagine is what a lot of people play games for and it stays in your head on what a post apocalyptic world would look like and it also helps the performance is excellent since the frame stays LOCKED to 30 FPS which is especially impressive for a world this detailed even for a PS4 Pro. The way how the gameplay is more fun than it looks since your cargo is heavy and the world is also a challenge with terrain potentially posing a danger to cargo making you plan out and experiment on how to get past the challenge and it's always satisfying when you do it. I'm not kidding when I say the sandbox a big strength of this game since you could overcome a challenge or reach a destination however you want; for example, I decided to try and kill all the human enemies and cremate their bodies to see what would happen and sure enough, their bodies NEVER came back making me feel rewarded I tried an experiment. The "emptiness" is intended since you can build any types of structures you want but there's also other structures other players made and when you use them/make structures, you're helping other people out and they're helping you to make you and others understand that in order to save America (or let's face it as gamers, probably just get the platinum trophy), we need to work together and unite as one which now that I think about it, must've been Kojima's plan all along. Whoever made this soundtrack should get a raise because there's not a whole lot of music but then when it does come up, it shows up when you're about to finish a difficult delivery and it genuinely feels like a massive burden is lifted off your shoulders and you feel so relived thanks to the soothing music. Finally, the story is frankly complex and convoluted and that in return is what makes it incredible but it's really the characters surrounding the story that makes it something special because without them, this story would've fallen flat on it's face since a good story is completely around it's characters to tell it. HOWEVER, I don't think this game is perfect and even though Kojima is quite an icon in the gaming industry, even he isn't immune from criticism and I've seen plenty of people say these flaws are his "style" but to be clear, just because it's his style doesn't make it good. Like even though the physics are amazing, they're not perfect since Sam could slip and act like he hit a wall even when a rock the size of his knee caps is in the way and it's extra annoying when you feel your cargo shouldn't have gotten damaged like this. The performances are great for the most part, but there was this one character who was just downright HORRIBLE especially considering this is a AAA game. Finally, what I believed created of the initial negative first impressions, nothing happens in the first 4 chapters. To be frank, it's not the players job to continue on throughout the game to see what happens, the developers need to get the players engaged from the very beginning otherwise players are gonna think this is how the game is gonna be for the rest of the game which is clearly not true. Overall, despite it's flaws, Death Stranding is one of the most unique games I've ever played and I'm so happy I played it since I haven't felt both this relaxed and lost in a video game for quite and a while and if you can get past the first 4 chapters, I can happily recommend this game and I can't wait to see what Kojima has to offer for the sequel.
    EDIT: Actually, scratch what I said, the human enemies I killed DID come back but that wasn't for a LOT longer than if I knocked them out

    Game confuses me! So long. Screen vllage look ok not good of movie screen village. Game fight with friends. Good fight. Norman Radeus save America! Everybody want America but Norman Raydeus stops them! Good story. Builds roads. Climbs mountain trees to top look down! Spooky dancing ghosts too much! Kurt Cobain ghost game but Norman Raydeus here ok. Scary like Walking Dead zombies.

    Так что я могу сказать об этой игре?
    Первые 20 часов ты смотришь редкие катсцены (но очень крутые), слушаешь крутой саунд, но а больше ничего не происходит, от слова совсем, но когда вы доходите до 9 главы, начинается раскрытие истории и в прямом смысле сложно оторваться, тоесть за первые 20 я ставлю 4 из 10, но начиная с 9 главы прямо резко хочу поставить игре 10/10, ноооо до этого надо

    Плавно перейдем к геймлпею, я не скажу что он плохой, но и не скажу что крутой, советую играть на максимальной сложности, что бы был хотя бы малейший челендж и вы могли хотя бы как то испытать фишки игры, кстати говоря сложность в игре мало что меняет, но разница маленькая, но есть.
    В целом с учетом того, что игра вышла на пк больше игроков смогли испытать ее, но я играл на пс4, и в целом что бы разложиться на диване и поиграть в неспешную игру с добротным сюжетом она хороша

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Настолько затянутый и однообразный геймплей не видел в своей жизни не в одной игре. Сюжет не плохой, но притянуто за уши сочувствие ко всем персонажам и их мотивация. Просто бред кричать что "Коджима гений!" и тд. и тп. Проходил на максимальном уровне сложности, на котором игра еще и в бесконечный гринд превращается.
    Визуал отличный, графика супер. Интерфейс слегка чудной, в плане загрузки грузов и тп. Еле-еле свыкся к концу игры.
    Можно конечно сказать что атмосферой и живостью персонажей игра не такая пресная, но доставлять грузы из точки А в точку Б по 30 (а то и больше минут) это конечно убивает весь геймплей, чем бы и как бы это не было обосновано.
    Меньше вопросов было к Last Of Us 2, которую как по мне все несправедливо захейтили.
    Все фишки PS5 присутствуют.

    gameplay : not good .. honestly ... first problem is walking in the game is so good relaxing okay .. but when it get too much .. you'll start getting bored ... and honestly i couldn't enjoy music and landscapes much because there were bt's in my way... second problem is boss fights ... i played on very hard difficulty and i didn't know where to expect boss fight so i didn't get weapons i needed .. so game become harder for me, i kept playing until the last boss fight ... and in the last cliff boss fight i tried one hundred times and i couldn't kill him because i didn't have weapon and i should've used in game weapons .. so it was almost impossible to defeat him ... so i lower the difficulty, the thing i hate to do in the middle the games i play... so despite beautiful graphic and amazing story this game had weak gameplay that could be much better .. but i think 9 is a fair score .. and thanks to kojima and his team for this gorgeous game ;)

    The world, ambiance, and originality are all top notch. A truly unique game, I can really appreciate when a game developer tries something new. The BTs are creepy and fun to fight. Decent value I guess if you look at overall time to finish. However, this game became a chore that I felt I needed to "get through".

Decent value I guess if you look at overall time to finish. However, this game became a chore that I felt I needed to "get through".

    My thoughts on gameplay, the first 25% was "interesting but I hope it gets better". The second 25% was "pretty fun but a bit repetitive". The final 50% was "when will this be over so I can move on to another game?". Clunky personnel combat mechanics, especially close quarters. Movement is a constant struggle with obstacles, there is no strafing unless you're aiming a weapon, so to change directions requires a small circle which can unintentionally send you in a random direction (e.g. off a cliff).

    For repeatability, let's just say I finished it and I will never play this game again.

    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.
