PlayStation 5 User Reviews

Death Stranding is a phenomenal and groundbreaking game in many ways. There's so much to say about this game but let's start with the good: It looks phenomenal. The music is phenomenal. Setting, story and world building is exceptional - and the gameplay and systems are unique and clever. What keeps it from getting a perfect score is its execution in essentially all regards: The music is phenomenal as mentioned, but it's almost never played. Most of the time you'll hear just footsteps or rain instead of music. The setting, story and world building is convoluted, spammy and it takes a (very) long time for things pieces to fall in place (but when they do it's very rewarding). The gameplay and systems are also convoluted and the game is still throwing new things at you until almost the very end. So in the end, a very good experience that I can highly recommend to anyone who has the time to spare. You'll need to cross the country in order for this to be a worthwhile experience.

Acabado Death Stranding me quedo con la sensación de haber tirado tiempo y dinero. Gráficamente y técnicamente es espectacular, pero una historia sin sentido y una narrativa desastrosa me dejan más que indiferente ante un juego prescindible. Al menos lo compré físico y lo puedo vender. Un 5 raspado por lo gráfico y lo técnico

This is the most complex and beautiful storyline games I have played! Kept me guessing and was a game I couldn’t leave behind.

It’s a good game, but it’s definitely not my style. I played up to Episode 2, but I just couldn’t continue. The pacing is slow, there are too many cutscenes, and the core gameplay is built around carrying cargo on foot. Even though the graphics are solid and visually impressive, the PC version offers very limited graphical settings.

Do ponto de vista artístico, uma obra-prima. Foi meu primeiro jogo do Kojima, então foi um pouco difícil lidar com a narrativa absolutamente maluca, mas não deixa de ser uma trama interessante e cativante. A jogabilidade pode ser considerada o ponto fraco, especialmente nas primeiras horas de jogo, que se tornam uma barreira pra muitos que experimentaram o jogo, mas é recompensador no final.

Encuentro el paisaje horrible con esas rocas de basalto casi superables. Si no fuera por la extrema dificultad del paisaje, lo pondría en un 9. Los menús son poco intuitivos pero se aprenden.

Loved the game, great story. Unusual gameplay but very fun and interesting.

es un muy buen juego la historia es una fumada pero el juego es super original kojima creando otra obra maestra

The 1st 30 hours of this were a slow grind. I wanted to give up so bad. The odd artistic choices like the weird baby every time Sam repatriates annoyed me, but it was the community that made me more interested in continuing Building roads and creating the perfect zipline. So many "bridges" and connections made without actual conversation. It made me feel less alone. The story was slow going. Some of the voice acting was painful to listen to and the dialogue equally bad. The story itself was ok and had a satisfactory ending, but it took a lot of trust to get it there. Didn't really like a lot of the "friends" he makes along the way. It felt like they were more coworkers and the relationships seemed forced. Deadman slowly grew on me, though. The scenery is so realistic and beautiful. The world interesting and haunting. The actors look realistic, almost like watching a movie which is important to me. The music was beautiful, although, it all started to sound the same, but it drew you in all the same. This is definitely a game worth trying. A game where you will play long after the story is over. And you will leave once you've upgraded ziplines and created a system for others to utilize with ease because we Porters need to stick together. "Keep on Keeping On."

Kojima é um gênio Que jogo fodastico Diferente de tudo que já vimos antes Incrível

The best trip in the world. Kojima is a genius. Love It . Must Play .

A magnificent work of art—and, at the same time, a rare exemplar of the Ninth Art.

I've been on a tear lately playing some of the best AAA games of the last few years. I wasn't sure what to expect of this game, however, but I have to say it got it's hooks into me fast and I loved every minute. I played it because I saw the reviews the sequel was getting, and how it was even better than the first. So I thought, I should play the first one and see if the core gameplay and approach appeals to me, which would give me reason to check out the sequel. It's a very unique game, but also really fun to play. And the storytelling was original and top notch. Obviously the director of this game has a lot of famous fans, since he got a lot of A+ actors to star in it, both in major rolls and small cameos. (Small spoiler direct ahead.) Seeing Conan O'Brien pop up in a small role made me smile, just because it was so unexpected!

Oyunun sadece ilk 10 saati için güzel şeyler söylenebilir. Ki 2'Yİ de ilk 10 saatin hayrına verdim. Eğer oyun şöyle 15-20 saatte falan bitse atmosferiyle, evreniyle, farklı konseptiyle cidden çok güzel bir oyun olabilirdi. Grafikleri muazzam ötesi, diğer oyuncuların yaptığı yapıları kullanıp bir yolu kısaltmak veya tam şarj bitecekken birinin koyduğu jeneratörü görmek falan güzel. Veya işte diğer oyuncularla el ele verip yol inşa ederek bir nevi kısa yol açmak gibi özgün ve iyi olduğu yanları var. AMA OYUNU 50 SAAT YAPACAK KADAR İYİ DEĞİL. Bu amına soktuğumun kojiması neye güvenerek veya neye inanarak 50 saatlik oyun yaptı anlamıyorum. Şu oyunu kojima değil de başkası yapmış olsa yüzüne bakılmaz kimse almaz hatta almayı geç kimsenin haberi bile olmaz. Ama sırf kojima oyun yaptı diye 10/10'lar 5/5'ler havada uçuyor. Çoğu mekaniği bok gibi olan bir oyunda bu kadar yüksek notları kojima dışında kimse alamazdı. Güzel yaptığı şeyler var sözüm yok onlara hatta yenilikçi de bir oyun ama 50 saat boyunca aynı şeyleri Yapınca insan sinirleniyor. Bir yerden sonra evet yeni şeyler ekleniyor işte güç iskeleti olsun, araba olsun, uçan kurye falan olsun güzel şeyler geliyor. Ama 50 saate yayılan bir oynanış veya hikaye kesinlikle yok. Oyunun %95'i hologramlara kargo taşımak zaten. 50 SAAT AYNI ŞEYİ YAPIYORSUN YA BUNUN NEYİ 10/10???? Başka oyunlarda 5-10 saat tekrara binince insanlar kuduruyor deliriyor hakaret ediyor düşük not veriyor bu oyuna gelince çok güzel diyorlar. Hani bekledim cidden bekledim ya dedim bu oyun herhalde bitene kadar böyle gitmez illa farklı bir görev çıkar ama YOK! 50 saat boyunca o holograma kargo taşı oradan geri dön tekrar daha önce kargo taşıdığın yere kargo götür. Ya bu zevkli mi şimdi? Tamam ilk 10 saat yaptık bunu ama abi 40 saat daha aynı şeyi niye yapıyoruz ya? Düşman çeşitliliği yok denecek kadar az. 2 tane düşman var benim bildiğim koca 50 SAATLİK oyunda. Isıtıp ısıtıp önümüze sunuyorlar bir yerden sonra artık adım atamaz oluyorsun düşmanlardan dolayı. Adım başı ya bt ya da pusucular. Bir yerden sonra pusucular da silah falan alıyor da abi aynı adamlar sonuçta. ARABA SÜRME REZALET, MOTOR SÜRME REZALET. Çakıla takılan kamyon mu olur ya? Hadi herşeyi geçtim sola çevirdiğim halde inatla sağa doğru gidip de aşağı düşen ve kargolara hasar veren kamyon var oyunda ya. Sanki transformers gibi kendi başına gidiyor soktuğumun kamyonu. Almayın aldırmayın ya. Millet sırf kojima yaptı diye o kadar övüyor yoksa 1 dolar vermezsin oyuna öyle söyleyeyim. İlk 10 saat güzel ama geri kalan 40 saatte de aynı şeyi yapınca o güzel kelimesinin yerini bir anda küfürler alabiliyor. Uzun zaman sonra başlayıp da bitirmeden bıraktığım oyun oldu death stranding.

Man I loved this game. I had so low expectations because all of the hate that this game blew my mind off. What Kojima Productions managed to deliver with this game is amazing. It's a unique experience and surely you have never played anything like this before. Must play. PD: the soundtrack is amazing too SO Low Roar

It started out as a game that I was not sure if I would like (delivery person) and my first experience of it was the directors cut. The game grew on me as I spent more time playing it. The characters are well written and the story is well done. I ended the game wanting to play the second one. Recommended if you can get past the initial lull of the travelling. It’s not a typical game, but that’s what makes it great.

Death Stranding is truly an amazing game. It features a beautiful environment, engaging gameplay mechanics, and an incredible story with high-quality cutscenes. At times, it felt more like watching a series than playing a game, especially since out of the roughly 20-hour experience, nearly 8 hours are dedicated to cutscenes. With so many talented actors involved, the game delivers a unique cinematic experience that feels very different from a typical video game.

Review: Death Stranding – A Masterpiece of the "Slow Burn"Death Stranding is not your typical action game, and that is exactly why it’s a masterpiece. While most AAA titles focus on how fast you can pull a trigger, Hideo Kojima dared to make a game about the weight of a backpack and the simple act of putting one foot in front of the **** Beauty of the JourneyThe game is famously slow-paced, but that "slowness" is its greatest strength. It turns the environment itself into the main antagonist. Every river crossed and every mountain climbed feels like a hard-won victory. Meditative Gameplay: There is a zen-like quality to trekking across the hauntingly beautiful, moss-covered landscapes. It forces you to slow down, plan your route, and actually appreciate the world around you. The "Strand" Connection: The slow buildup makes the social elements feel incredibly rewarding. Finding a ladder or a bridge left by another player in a moment of struggle creates a sense of human connection that faster games rarely **** Genius of KojimaAt the center of it all is Hideo Kojima, an absolute legend who continues to prove he is one of the few true "auteurs" in the industry. Fearless Originality: Only Kojima-san would have the courage to take a massive budget and use it to create a "Walking Simulator" that is actually a deep, emotional epic about loneliness and hope. Cinematic Scope: From the haunting soundtrack to the incredible performances (like Mads Mikkelsen’s haunting presence), his fingerprints are everywhere. He doesn't just make games; he creates new genres and pushes the boundaries of what digital storytelling can be.Verdict: If you go in expecting a high-speed shooter, you’re missing the point. Death Stranding is a game that demands your patience, but rewards you with an experience that stays with you long after the credits roll. It is a bold, weird, and beautiful reminder of why Kojima remains a visionary.Keep on keeping on!

After more than 130 hours on PS5, Death Stranding Director’s Cut is a very unique experience, pure Kojima style. The story is confusing at first and takes a long time to really start, only making full sense near the end, which can be frustrating compared to the tighter storytelling of MGS. Visually the game is stunning at 60 FPS, and the soundtrack is one of the best I’ve heard in a video game. However, some parts like the racing events are dull, the gameplay can become repetitive, vehicle physics feel off, and the world sometimes feels a bit lifeless.

Un’esperienza unica e visionaria firmata Hideo Kojima, che mescola narrativa intensa, open world e meccaniche di consegna originali. La storia di Sam Porter Bridges è profonda e coinvolgente, affrontando temi di connessione umana, solitudine e resilienza in un mondo post-apocalittico sorprendentemente realistico. La presenza di **** memorabili e interpretazioni di alto livello (tra cui Norman Reedus e Mads Mikkelsen) rende la narrazione emotivamente **** gameplay, incentrato sul trasporto di carichi attraverso ambienti ostili, è originale e sorprendentemente strategico: bilanciare peso, terreno e strumenti diventa un’attività meditativa e gratificante. Le meccaniche sociali asincrone, con strutture e aiuti lasciati da altri giocatori, creano un senso di cooperazione unico nel panorama videoludico. La grafica su PC è spettacolare, con ambienti mozzafiato, effetti meteo realistici e frame rate fluidi che valorizzano ogni dettaglio del mondo di gioco.Alcuni possono trovare il ritmo lento o le consegne ripetitive, ma per chi ama esperienze narrative profonde e gameplay innovativi, Death Stranding è una vera gemma.

When people say "game like no other", we assume that means "a good game like no other" which it does not. This game is a fever dream. It looks real but then you look into the faces and realize nobody ever makes human-like expressions. The main character has the same half-grimace, half-smile look (I assume this is a failure of the graphics engine) no matter what's happening, whether he's being pursued by a deadly monster or losing a loved one. It's hauntingly hollow and disturbing. Then the game play. Which isn't so much play as it is tedium. At it's core you're an off-road delivery guy on foot with poor balance, who has to walk around with crap on his back. That's it. They fluff this up with pretty but emotionally hollow cut scenes. I wasted $30 on this and am going to start drinking again while I re-install The Witcher 3 and experience actual gaming .

Game like no other, literally. Story throws curveballs at you every episode (game chapter) only to get so many answers at the end with some questions to be left unanswered. It advertises itself as a genre-defying experience and it sure is one. Would recommend.

This game is truly something special. It's something that has never existed quite like this before. We get an outstanding cast, an outstanding soundtrack, and a rather unconventional yet fun gameplay concept. The game is extremely atmospheric and cinematic. Classic Kojima. The story is a bit cryptic, but wraps up well in the end. It is a masterpiece, one of the few games that has managed to captivate me for such a long time. The idea of being able to see other players' structures always motivated me to build my own, not just because I needed them, but because other players might find them useful. Being thanked via Likes felt good because I knew, "Hey, another player used my structure and I was able to help them!"After the main story, there are still quite a few side missions to complete, even though I found them a bit boring. What I found somewhat lacking is the combat. It feels unintuitive and isn't very fun. This resulted in me avoiding fights as much as possible. The boss fights, on the other hand, were enjoyably designed. Graphically, the game is extremely impressive, and I am amazed that this was a PS4 game. Kojima and his team did an outstanding job. Conclusion: An atmospheric game with an interesting concept. A very good visual presentation. It is definitely something different, something special. It's not for everyone, and it doesn't try to be. The combat could have been more fun. All in all, however, a very good game. 8/10 I have already bought the sequel and I am really looking forward to playing it to see what changes and improvements the team has made.

Platiné a quatre reprises je ne pouvais que donner la note maximum a ce chef-d’œuvre de kojima. Un pure régal

A fresh start in storytelling, music, controls, and gameplay – everything demonstrates evolution and change in the gaming world, but it's tiring with many underutilized areas.

I avoided playing this game for years, but I get it now. It is possibly the best game ever made. A beautiful, singular vision. Messy, sprawling, but so so good.

questa versione migliorata del già ottimo death stranding lo eleva su un altro livello rendendolo ancora più incredibile ma con delle sbavature. 9.3/10

An incredible experience, the first time I've ever sat through the credits **** and wished they were longer so I had more time to just..... wow. I could see how this needs a little while to cook for some people before they really get into it but to be honest, I was hooked from the start. It's so unique in how it entertains, but I truly think anyone could enjoy death stranding if they spent enough time with it.

To high a learning curve. I've played 12 hours and I'm still having trouble figuring out it's overly complicated HUD/Menu which could have been simplified easily. I honestly can't understand people giving it a 10. I played it on a PS5 and finally had to ask Grok how to play because there was nothing intuitive about the game. I want my money back.

шедевр,потихоньку вливаешься в сюжет, а в конце происходит эффект "вау". снятые катсцены на уровне голливуда просто. геймплей хороший,лично мне зашёл,интересно и очень напряжённо встречать тварей и проходить через них, интересно составлять маршруты, стычки с мулами добавляет разнообразие, файтиться с тварямм тоже прикольно. Короче жаль игру поймут не многие

Ta bueno el jueguito de rappi exótico pero ese director nunca falla jejhgsbkk

The first chapter of an incredible story. In terms of narrative quality and story development, the first chapter marks a significant milestone in the world of video games. The DS universe is dramatic, profound, as distant as it is close to the present day, not in external reality but in the loneliness and pain that marks the characters. Sam and his story, the protagonists of the first chapter, are a fascinating discovery that slowly unfolds under the player's gaze, culminating in a triumph of meaning and emotion at the end, which not only “explains” what you have been wondering about during the journey, but also communicates something important. While the second chapter features improved, more accessible gameplay, here you may encounter minor difficulties and rough edges that may make you turn up your nose, but in my opinion, they are part of the experience, part of those difficulties that will make every journey memorable. It cannot fail to be considered a masterpiece by Kojima, in his first attempt with his production company. It certainly doesn't get a 10 just because of these aspects of the gameplay that could be improved (and were improved in 2).

edgy to the point of being disgusting. most of the gameplay is unique in a boring way. i really cant understand the point of carryng stuff like Uber Eats deliveryman

I went into thisgame with fairly low expectations to be honest, but after playing this game i can truly say that thisgame is an amazing game with stunning visuals and chilling gameplay (at times)

O ritmo diferente do jogo faz com que ele não seja para todos, mas quem realmente dar uma chance, se surpreenderá com as mecânicas e a história do jogo. Simplesmente incrível

Jeux exceptionnel, cela faisait un moment que je n'avais pas jouer à un tel jeu. Une réelle œuvre d'art qui sort du lot

À première vue, un jeu pas fait pour tout le monde, mais bien plus intéressant qu’il n’y paraît. Le scénario et l’histoire sont très profonds, et la beauté du jeu, façon carte postale, nous fait vivre une aventure unique.

Had a reasonable amount of fun playing the first few chapters. Its just too all over the place for me to stay focused on.

Nog nooit zo’n game ervaring meegemaakt als tijdens Death Stranding. In mijn optiek mooier en meeslepender dan het tweede deel, omdat dit in alles de eerste keer was. Een waar meesterwerk!

Loved the gameplay and the art direction. The story is also peak. W game Didhrbrj

I have no idea what this thing is . . . It is either the most brilliant game I've ever played, or the stupidest walking simulator ever invented. It is at times scary, at times action packed, and at times incredibly tedious and boring as I need to hold down triggers to keep my balance. The story is . . . chaos. When my family asked what I was playing all I could say was that it was very . . . very . . . weird. It was good . . . I think. Just not my kind of thing I guess.

i liked that kojima tried something different. altought its not a game for everyone, and chapter 6 almost made me drop the game, i really thought if it was really worthy go through that suffering to finish the game. fortunetly, the game gets better. the game has some problems, but clifford carried the game to an 8/10 for me

What a fantastic journey! I really loved this game, and I think it has one of the best stories I've ever played. Every character has a great personality, and there's a strong connection that feels real. I didn't enjoy some boss battles and some particular key moments of the game, but overall I fell in love with it. It's a unique game and I can't wait to play Death Stranding 2. This game was awesome, I have to give it a 9.5/10.

Death Stranding is a game that really stands out. I’d give it an 8 out of 10. The world is stunning and atmospheric, and the gameplay, while unconventional, totally worked for me. I loved the feeling of isolation and the slow build of connection across the map. It’s meditative in a way most games aren’t. That said, the story can drag at times. There are moments where it feels like it’s trying a bit too hard to be deep or mysterious, and it loses momentum. But overall, it’s a unique experience that stuck with me. Kojima definitely delivered something different, and I respect that.

I genuinely wanted to give Death Stranding a chance. The stellar cast and the authentic characters immediately stood out, and the numerous scenes felt truly cinematic. However, the great presentation couldn't redeem the dull and monotonous gameplay for me. Furthermore, the game instantly throws you into its complex lore without sufficient introduction. I had to abandon the game after only about 6-8 hours and, regrettably, cannot recommend it.

Premières impressionsAu début, le jeu peut sembler déroutant et difficile à comprendre. On se demande même parfois ce qu'on est en train de faire ! La courbe d'apprentissage est assez **** déclic (après ~18h de jeu)Passé ce cap initial d'environ 18 heures, le jeu révèle tout son potentiel. Il devient véritablement amusant et captivant. C'est là que tout commence à faire sens.Points fortsPersonnages : Très bien développés et attachantsCinématiques : Excellente qualité et essentielles pour la compréhension de l'histoireIntrigue : Captivante et bien menéeExpérience globale : Très satisfaisante une fois qu'on entre dedansDurée de vieComptez environ 70 heures pour terminer le jeu, mais le temps passe rapidement tant on est pris par l'aventure.ConseilAccrochez-vous pendant les premières heures ! La patience est récompensée par une expérience de jeu unique et marquante.Recommandé pour : Les joueurs qui apprécient les expériences narratives riches et qui n'ont pas peur d'un jeu qui prend son temps pour se révéler.

Finalmente terminei! Comecei em 2019 no PS4, parei por "falta de tempo" e comecei tudo de novo agora em 2025.O jogo é muito melhor do que eu esperava e a história sobre conectar o mundo e criar pontes é emocionante. De negativo pra mim são algumas partes da história que são exageradamente complicadas e o gameplay de combate que é bem travado e pouco fluído.

Loved everything about the game. Literally a breath of fresh air. Great story. Only game to ever make me shed a tear

Death stranding nonostante non piaccia a tutti e venga spesso definito un “corriere simulator”, per me è un vero capolavoro. Il leggendario Hideo Kojima si è superato: la storia è profonda e toccante, le musiche sono semplicemente meravigliose e l’atmosfera è unica. Prima di giudicarlo, vi invito davvero a giocarci perché, come sempre, Kojima dimostra di essere un autentico genio.
