Death Stranding

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.

In the end, Death Stranding’s biggest mystery isn’t any of the elements we’ve had teased in three-plus years of trailers—it’s what people are going to think of it. Even from a man known for making love-them-or-hate-them projects, this may end up being one of the most divisive games ever created. For me, it was an experience that I can truly say was unlike any other I remember. And, if nothing else, Death Stranding makes me respect Hideo Kojima for convincing Sony to invest millions into a game that’s about a man delivering packages to holograms.

Death Stranding might not be for everyone, but Hideo Kojima delivers here a unique universe, where you sometimes feel like you’re one with the game. I love: the BB cries that induce a visceral reaction in me, the music, the gorgeous scenery and the fact that Kojima gives enough room to the story. I hate: Kojima’s lucubrations and the dubious product placement.

Death Stranding is one of those epic games where you reach the ending after many, many hours and you have the sense that you played something unique, fresh and a game that could be a comparative point for other games to come. Kojima reaffirms our acknowledgment for his talent of creating engrossing worlds, both in terms of lore and visuals, with well-designed gameplay. What drags it down from a higher grade is its overreliance in, basically, one quest type and the utterly derivative action sequences (thankfully not many of them).

Death Stranding is a game that focuses on the journey rather than the goal. If you are looking for a different and unique adventure, you should try Death Stranding.

We will all remember Death Stranding, the game that was brave enough to oppose the norm. But in the end, it falls a victim to its high ambition as it struggles plenty due to numerous pivotal decisions in storytelling and gameplay.

Death Stranding is an irredeemable piece of garbage that should serve as a warning to publishers who give developers carte blanche to create ‘art’.

Ha Sido una de las mejores experiencias de gaming que he tenido en mi vida, a pesar de que las misiones pueden parecer largas, vale 100% la pena jugarlo si buscas un juego distinto a lo que nos han dado actualmente

After 200+ hours playing Death Stranding and after a platinum trophy, I have got an in-depth opinion about every aspect of the game. Storytelling: I was disappointed from the storyline considering the many popular actors and movie directors from Hollywood participating in the game. Story is patched up and from time to time hard to follow. I am considering it from a Western point of view, not knowing if the way the story line is organized makes more sense from a Japanese point of view. My logic was simply refusing this association of weird things with real world historical events spanning across 60 years each of them and far away from the United States of America, the place where the game is set. Gameplay: gameplay was agreeable, but far too repetitive and often very predictable. I enjoyed the online shared items from the other player as it's a good cooperative idea. Environment and hiking simulator: it's a wow. They got this at 100%. Environment is fantastic and very realistic. I appreciate the developers effort in simulating hiking in different conditions. It's frustrating at start but it makes total sense.

Çok ayrıntılı ve çok hikayeli (her hikayeyi anlamak zorunda değilmişiz demekki) yürüme simülasyonu. Kojima oyun yapınca böyle tıkanıyor insan inceleme yazarken.

You can only say good things about the first 10 hours of the game. In fact, I gave it a 4/10 solely out of grace for those first 10 hours. If the game finished in like 15-20 hours, it could have been a genuinely great game with its atmosphere, universe, and unique concept. The graphics are beyond immense; using structures built by other players to take a shortcut, or spotting a generator placed by someone right when your battery is about to die, feels nice. Or joining forces with other players to build roads and essentially create shortcuts—it has unique and good sides like that. BUT IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE THE GAME 50 HOURS LONG. I don't **** understand what Kojima was relying on or believing in to make a 50-hour game. If someone other than Kojima had made this game, nobody would even look at it, nobody would buy it—hell, let alone buying it, nobody would even hear about it. But just because Kojima made a game, 10/10s and 5/5s are flying everywhere. In a game where most mechanics are like ****, nobody other than Kojima could pull off such high scores. There are things it does well, I got no complaints about those, it's even an innovative game, but doing the exact same things for 50 hours pisses you off. After a certain point, yeah, new things are added—like power skeletons, cars, floating carriers and stuff, cool things come along. But there is absolutely no gameplay or story spread across 50 hours. 95% of the game is just carrying cargo to holograms anyway. YOU DO THE EXACT SAME THING FOR 50 HOURS, WHAT THE HELL IS 10/10 ABOUT THIS???? In other games, when things get repetitive for 5-10 hours, people lose their minds, go crazy, hurl insults, give low scores, but when it comes to this game, they call it amazing. I waited, I genuinely waited, thinking 'surely this game won't go on like this until the end, there's gotta be a different mission,' but NOPE! For 50 hours, carry cargo to that hologram, head back, carry cargo again to the place you already delivered to before. I mean, is this actually fun now? Fine, we did this for the first 10 hours, but bro, why are we doing the same thing for 40 more hours? Enemy variety is practically nonexistent. As far as I know, there are like 2 types of enemies in a massive 50-HOUR game. They just keep rehashing and serving them to us, after a point you can't even take a step because of the enemies. Every step is either BTs or campers. After a point, the campers get guns and stuff too, but bro, they're the same guys at the end of the day. DRIVING CARS IS TERRIBLE, RIDING MOTORCYCLES IS TERRIBLE. What kind of truck gets stuck on gravel, man? Leaving everything else aside, there’s a truck in this game that stubbornly steers right and falls down, damaging the cargo even though I’m turning left. It's like a Transformer going on its own, this **** truck. Don't buy it, don't let anyone buy it. People praise it so much just because Kojima made it, otherwise you wouldn't give $1 for this game, let me put it that way. The first 10 hours are nice, but when you do the exact same thing for the remaining 40 hours, that word 'nice' instantly gets replaced by cursing. Death Stranding became the first game in a long time that I started and dropped without finishing.

Thats a scam, not a game. Kojima showed cool actors for 2 years, but NONE of gameplay. It appeared that there is no gameplay in the game lol
