When I first started playing, I struggled to understand it. I walked through endless roads, carried heavy loads, and sometimes asked myself, Is this really what the game is about? But as time passed, I slowly began to understand what it was trying to tell me. Death Stranding was never just a game about delivering cargo. It…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really tried to like this game, but I just can’t finish it. There are simply better games to play that aren’t this frustrating to control. The storytelling feels aggressively pretentious, filled with constant, on-the-nose metaphors desperately trying to be deep and thought-provoking, but ultimately coming off as written by a fart-smelling prima donna crying while applying black lipstick. The third-person shooter mechanics are clunky and underdeveloped, which is especially painful when the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Death Stranding: Review Death Stranding is not a game you rush. It’s a game you walk through, literally and emotionally. At first glance, it looks simple: deliver packages, connect places, keep walking. But the longer you play, the clearer it becomes that this game is about something much bigger: connection, isolation, loss, persistence, and what it means to keep going when the world feels broken. The atmosphere is incredible. Lonely landscapes, haunting music that kicks in at just the right…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →amazing how life gets you to play this game, bought the base game on day of release because i was obsessed with kojima (still am) and was very disappointed (walkin simulator Am i right?>) . after some years i was at a low point of loneliness and decided to play this game. oh boy this game is like a shotgun to the chest to loneliness. the premise is simple:in a post apocalyptic world where everyone is alone it is YOUR job to *connect* everyone and while doing so you never feel Truly alone ,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I almost dropped this game in the first few hours. Nothing crazy is happening. You’re just walking… carrying stuff… trying not to trip over a rock. It feels slow, a bit empty, even pointless. And honestly, that feeling doesn’t completely go away. But something weird happens if you stick with it. You start caring about the smallest things. A path that saves you time. Something left behind by someone you’ll never meet. A quiet sense that you’re not the only one out there, even though it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not Just A Walking Simulator But A Cinematic Masterpiece When I bought this game, I feared that I might not end up liking it or it was just going to be a walking simulator but after playing this game, I can confidently say my worries were useless. I want to dissect Hideo Kojima's brain; he really is a man in a league of his to create such a post-apocalyptic genre-defining world. No matter what I think of the game, I'm happy that a weird, hyper specialized, experimental game with a massive…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow. What a game. For the first few hours I had about a hundred questions and answers to basically none of them. At some point I just stopped trying to understand everything and went with it. And that's probably the best advice I can give: just go with it. By the end, the pieces start falling into place and suddenly the bigger picture becomes clear. Really well done. I especially liked the Social Strand System. You rarely meet another player, yet their ladders, bridges, signs and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Death Stranding Director’s Cut is still a solemn and somber game about walking through the end of the world. The Director’s Cut doesn’t transform it, but it does refine what I thought was an already distinctive vision. Underneath the delivery-sim exterior there are well architected moments of horror, sometimes even disturbing: BT encounters, timefall-scarred landscapes, spectral soldiers, and a constant fear of something unseen dragging you and your cargo under. The story wrapped around it is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to start by saying this game changed the way I look at videogames and what a game could be. This is much more than just a videogame. This is truly a work of art that deserves your attention. Don't let the "walking simulator" memes fool you. This game turns the simple act of traveling across rough terrain into an addictive rewarding puzzle. The loop of planning a route, building infrastructure, and helping other players online is incredibly satisfying. Backed by a beautiful soundtrack…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's one of those games that may not click for you at first (or at all), but if or when it does, it really clicks. What many people often write off as simply a "walking/delivery simulator" ends up being much more profound, with a fantastic story about the power one person's actions have on the world, and all the crazy Kojima twists and turns one can expect. Beautiful graphics, star-studded cast, amazing soundtrack, and a world full of secrets that made me want to explore every corner. And…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this game at a very low moment in my life, all the themes within hit more close to home as a result, the world is better connected
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So this is Hideo Kojima’s first game after leaving Konami and yeah, bro really made a “delivery game” At first, I’m not gonna lie, it feels super slow Like really slow You’ll probably get bored in the beginning and wonder why you’re even playing it It honestly needs patience to finish, but if you stick with it, the payoff is actually worth it I actually first got the game for free in 2023 on Epic Games Store I started playing it, got bored, and dropped it around Episode 5, At that time I was…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hideo Kojima is easily one of the people with the biggest egos in the gaming industry, and someone who loves sucking his own ♥♥♥♥, but if he keeps making games like this, we can’t say absolutely anything to him because he deserves it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is more of an advice rather than a review and me unlocking 100% achievement tells it all. Chapter 1 and 2 are tutorials (a very long one) and you should try and get to Chapter 3 as soon as possible by doing Sam's Order for the main story. Reason being you get way better tools and equipment and you can come back to the first area when you're able to fast travel. if you're planning for a Perfect Game just finished the game first cos you might locked yourself out of an achievement for…

unlabelledView post →A Terrible Game That Everyone Should Try to Experience Let me be clear: Death Stranding is, in many ways, an awful game. The gameplay is tedious, repetitive, and actively unfun. You walk. You balance. You fall. You hold down two triggers for hours. You climb a rock wrong and all your cargo gets destroyed. It's slow, clunky, and genuinely painful to get through. I literally don't understand how anyone can play this without watching a series or listening to a podcast on a second…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Death Stranding is not just a game. It's a long, quiet journey that slowly grows on you until one day you realize it never really let you go. When I first started it, I wasn't sure what to expect. You play as Sam Porter Bridges, a delivery man in a broken world. Cities are cut off from each other. People live alone, hidden away, stranded. The land itself feels empty, wounded and dangerous. Your job sounds simple: carry cargo from one place to another. Walk. Don't fall. Don't lose the packages.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game wasn't for me. Plays like a movie and less like a video game, way too many sequence breaks and cutscenes. Story was captivating but ultimately frustrating with way too many enigmatic plots and threads and strands (haha) that never really get resolved in a satisfactory way. Some did, others did not. Game fakes you out four times with final boss fights, has mad tonal changes that give you whiplash, and then makes you sit through the credits twice to continue seeing the end of the story.…

unlabelledView post →"I Was Living A Lie... I Was Broken. But Somewhere Along The Way, I Started Changing." Death Stranding may be one of the most unique, confusing, frustrating, and overall unconventional gaming experiences I've ever had. Its often obtuse gameplay design, paired with a frustrating and, frankly, underwhelming combat system against human enemies, made it difficult to know whether I was genuinely enjoying myself while playing. Despite that, by the time the credits rolled, I think I ultimately did.…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ENG/ITA ENG: I'd like to start from the fact that when Death Stranding came out I made fun of it, calling it "Amazon Simulator" , a game where you deliver packages by walking for hours. I had no intention of playing it. This year, however, after playing MGS 3:Snake Eater, the first title I played created by Hideo Kojima, I decided to give it a chance… and, after finishing it, I can say I was completely wrong. I was speechless. The story is very beautiful. Kojima, as he had already done with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a masterpiece. That being said, it is NOT for everyone. There is a lot of walking and a lot of cut scenes. The gameplay look is simple but as you progress you get better and better gear and it really fleshes out. If you do pick this up, play through the first 2 acts main story quickly and then go back for side content if you want. There is inventory and weight management but again, it gets easier. There is plenty of combat if you want it but that's not the main part of the game.…

There is undeniably something fascinating about it at first. The atmosphere is phenomenal, the music is nothing short of spectacular, and the world feels almost hypnotic during those first hours. Kojima clearly wanted to make something “important,” something larger than…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have no words to describe Death Stranding. Aside from core gameplay the story is full of emotions like grief, love, responsibility, care, guilt, fear, anger, compassion etc. It is full of philosophical meanings of love and death and being a parent. Easily one of the best games I ever played. To fully understand it, leave it for the time when you think you are a mature person, otherwise you wouldn't get it.

But if you've experienced his repertoire of games, given their aesthetics and their storytelling quirks, you realize how sincere that statement is. This game is very much a "Kojima game." It's weird, sometimes nonsensical, sometimes outright ridiculous and stupid. But there is so much passion pumped into this game…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I tried so hard to like this game, yet I failed. Basically all you do for most of the game is watching the same cutscenes for delivery, listening to the same audio or information about the people already said to you at least 10 times. Doing the same mission. It's really hard to see if it's a filler mission or an actual one. %90 things I've done are just simple meaningless delivery and the dialogue basically goes like "Chiral delivery connect connect deliver connect america" with a deeper…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Before I played this game, I kept hearing the same thing: "It's just a walking simulator." Then I played it. Turns out, walking was exactly what I needed. There was something incredibly calming about focusing on one delivery at a time, one destination at a time. While the world around me was chaotic, this game quietly reminded me that every journey begins with simply taking the next step. I didn't spend much time exploring every corner of the map. My journey was mostly linear,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is incredibly relaxing. Being able to draw a route on the map and follow it feels amazing. Hitting cargo thieves with your cargo bag is surprisingly satisfying. When the music starts and you slow down to enjoy the scenery, the relaxation is unreal. The story is truly impressive. The cutscenes are top tier in quality. Cons The early hours can feel slow and a bit boring, but if you push through, the game becomes extremely enjoyable. Weight management can get frustrating later on,…
