Customers are impressed with Death Stranding Director’s Cut graphics, story, and the value for the price. The open-world charm and heartfelt musical score are also well-received. However, some customers have mentioned that there is a lot of walking in the game. Overall, the game seems to be packed with content.

    What a strange game. Exactly what i expect kojima to create when its not tied to metal gear Its somewhat of a walking simulator but the strange story and crazy graphics make me not want to put it down. At the current price i think im getting my monies worth.

    Kojima Needs Corporate Oversight

    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.

    Kojima Hits Keep Coming

    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

    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.
