Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game had so much hype around it from legendary game creator Hideo Kojima. But unfortunately it's a game that's hype ultimately was more impressive than the game itself. It's so obvious that Kojima really just wants to make movies, but got stuck in the video game medium. He's made some of the greatest games of all time, but he's a really awful storyteller and Death Stranding is the epitome of Kojima's hubris. The game is a far cry from the Metal Gear titles and focuses on a half-baked mechanic and another convoluted Kojima story. The Director's Cut, which isn't really a director's cut tries to remedy some of the issues people had with the lackluster gameplay. It's a better experience, but not by much. There's a reason the sequel isn't going to be a Sony exclusive. It took them way to long to make their return on investment back on this, and for good reason. Kojima did his best work when he had the corporate overlords at Konami telling him to stick to a schedule and budget. On his own, with full creative control, you get a "game" that's full of ideas that aren't particularly executed well. That doesn't mean it's not a game for everybody. There are certainly merits to it, and the walking simulator gameplay is likely fun for a good amount of people. But it was very amusing when the game was released, and Kojima's biggest supporters had to pretend that this was the game they were hoping for. I'd bet my bottom dollar that the upcoming Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 outsells the original and director's cut versions of this game and for good reason. Konami was probably right to fire him. I got this game with Best Buy's $10 deal. And honestly, I feel like that was probably about $10 too much for me personally.

The director's cut of Death Stranding is a well-deserved title on PS5 with added elements for an enhanced experience.

I loved loved loved this game. Starts off a bit slow but definitely picks up. The story is so unuiqe and amazing. The gameplay is aweosme and unuiqe as well.

Amazing game to explore and learn about the world. Ps5 looks amazing graphics

Nice walking simulator with great graphics and story with top notch gameplay

I will admit. First time around I stopped playing after about 2-3 hours. Very boring. Just walking around, tripping and falling without any real action like Kojima is known for. But i bought the director’s cut since I’m a fan and i played it to the end. Wow! What an experience. Now it’s one of my favorite games. I sometimes play this instead of resident evil games. Highly recommend. Death Stranding 2 is also coming out soon

Great game especially on sale. Good story line and plays well on PS5

Beautiful game great storyline amazing graphics definitely recommend it

Good game. Both a fan and not a fan of all the walking done in the game which is why I gave it a 4 star review. Awesome story done here. It’s definitely worth a pickup.

Love it! It starts off a bit slow but the story gets really good

Works Perfect! Even a better game! Great graphics and a even better story! 10/10 would recommend 

Just play it!! Its a great game and well storied. Visually stunning and well worth your time.

Only every once in a while comes an absolute stunning game where you feel close to the character and the story that you playing in such a way. When i first launched the game i had no clue what to expect, i'd only seen one or two trailers and gameplay videos and went in to this with an open mind only to discover a world i felt i could immediately connect with.

The game is great, the graphics are amazing but it's also not for everyone. If you have the money or if it's on sale pick it up and try it out! Also Norman Reedus is here so that's a plus

Game is amazing, beautiful open world. Story is great and keeps you wanting more.

Great game with great graphics. Good storyline to this game

Great game, visuals are amazing great story. Can move along slowly at times but the intense moments are very intense. Definitely worth playing.

Excellent game. Highly recommend giving this game a shot. It’s not what you think it is so just stick with it. Crazy story.

Im enjoying this game a lot. It has a great story. And a lot of content.

Good graphics and confusing story. Gameplay is ok and slow at times until it ramps up.
