    I will be totally honest, Death Stranding was absolutely boring the first time i played it. It looked phenomenal but all you do is play delivery boy with a convoluted story. I gave it another go around and man did it click for whatever reason. The story takes some time to understand and the gameplay is not for everyone, but for me it turned into an experience i wish i could relive again blind. It has become one of my favorite games of all time!

    Death Stranding: Director’s Cut on PS5 refines Kojima’s original vision with enhanced visuals, faster load times, DualSense features, and new content like missions, weapons, and traversal tools. It’s the best way to experience this unique, atmospheric journey, though its deliberate pacing and delivery gameplay loop remain divisive for some players.

    I’m a Kojima fan, and you can always count on him for an interesting gaming experience. The story is a unique one, the gameplay is, for the most part, chill. It looks beautiful and has an intuitive control scheme.

    I love Kojima. I mean, I find the excessively long dialogue and cut scenes annoying - sure - but in the fun kind of way. There's a certain nostalgia to them, like a particular era and type of film you remember watching as a kid. But that aside, I really appreciate that Kojima games always try something new and really out there. I picked this up at a great sale price and so glad I did because there is a second one coming out!

    This is one of my favorite games of all time. There are a lot of people who call this a "movie game"; yes it has cutscenes and the graphics are lifelike, but my enjoyment of this game comes from the gameplay itself, which I find to be very engaging and fun. On top of that, the overall mood that the game creates is unique and interesting.

    The Director's cut is a lot better than the original version. There is more drama, and towards the end, this version explains a lot more about Sam. One thing that wasn't good was having to repeat some 'deliveries'. After completing a mission, when you come back later on, it wants the same mission done again.

    The graphics are simply stunning. The soundtrack by Low Roar running throughout the game is sublime and fits perfectly to the gameplay. It can get quite emotional at times. The gameplay is somewhat slow but that's perfect for me to de-stress after a hard day at work. The story is strong and engaging, this is behind the mind of Hideo Kojima. I would definitely recommend.

    This is a good game with a great graphics, story and characters. The game centers around making deliveries but the gameplay loop is very addicting as there are many ways of tackling your missions. You will have access to equipment, vehiclesband resources from other players online to help complete your missions.

    If you want a good story, this is that game! Looks excellent on the new gen console! I didn’t know what to expect when I bought it, but it exceeded my expectations. It’s not the most action packed game, but the story, characters, world building, musical score, and the ambiguous nature of the game all make up for it! I recommend giving Death Stranding a try!

    Although I did not finish this game, I can recommend it due to it being genuinely and wholly unique. Kojima and his team have created a tolkein-esque world that creates new tropes and dynamics within the video game genre. Have to respect it.
