I loved the deal I Best Buy was running when I purchased this unique game. It is a quirky game, and I was looking for something different and wanted to check it out before the sequel comes out.

Feels like an amazon game but it is unique. Makes me want to be a UPS driver.

A Different Kind of Game

A game that stretches the definition of what a gaming experience should be and places new and interesting game mechanics throughout. Death Stranding is certainly an experience that I can most closely equate to a Christopher Nolan film.
Played this on PS4 and it’s time for a remastered playthrough

This is one of those games either you love it or hate it. For me, I absolutely love this game. It’s almost a therapeutic experience for me. Gorgeous graphics, amazing score and really feels like you’re out there in the wild exploring. I finished ps4, pc and now looking forward to finishing the directors cut

Played the launch version years ago and enjoyed the game overall but this directors cut version has way more content which makes the game more rewarding and fun. The story didn’t change. We just get more customization options, gear, characters, side quests etc. Got on sale so it was definitely worth the upgrade. Cant wait for DS2 now.

The game is a fantastic game, but it does certainly appeal to a certain person. This isn't a fast pace shooter or an action packed story, it is very slow and the main gameplay centers around delivering packages. Obviously there's more to it, there is combat but the gameplay centers around deliveries.

I played this game after watching my son play it thinking it was the stupidest game I’ve ever seen. Then I started playing it myself and realized how great a title it was. Who would think walking around with packages would be so much fun. The directors cut has improved graphics and a few new enhancements that save time. Overall this is a great game and would strongly recommend it to friends.

I almost exclusively play open world games and this one made me hesitant at first. Heck. It still makes me hesitant 35 hours in, but I can’t put it down. Let me see if I can explain why. It’s simple and complex at the same time. One negative is that it’s very emo. One positive is that it is very emo. It’s strange and also familiar. It mocks and also celebrates so many deep social concepts, yet it eludes description. Its relaxing and riddled with anxiety. The main character is fascinatingly boring, yet endlessly interesting. It’s challenging and easy. It’s slow and then suddenly fast. It’s also one of the most beautiful and stark worlds ever created. It’s just plain nice to look at. It’s too soon and too late. Did that help? I went into this game late and luckily with almost zero knowledge of what to expect. Now that I have played it, I know why so many have struggled to put it into a box. It truly is genre melting and very hard to succinctly explain beyond this guy walks around and delivers packages in a post-apocalyptic USA. It’s so much more than that though…and it is just that. It has to be played. Once you’ve done so, you’ll likely either love it or hate it. A third option is you’ll enter into an abusive relationship with it where you want to hate it, then it does something beautiful. Rinse. Repeat. That’s where I am now. Enjoy!

Awesome game!!! A genuienly unique and amazing experience. Though, I must admit that the beginning can be a bit slow, once the game gains momentum it is truly a can't miss title. I can’t wait to see what Kojima makes next!
