Customer Ratings & Reviews

A lot of people have written this game off as a walking sim, mailman sim, and other similar mundane descriptors. They're not entirely wrong - there's a lot of traversing landscapes. But part of the addictive formula is how you acquire equipment to make movement less of a chore. Admittedly, until you start getting these improvements, moving from facility to facility can be tedious. It's best to save optional missions until maybe a few main missions in to start seeing just how the upgrades look in this game. At its core though, you do just make delivery after delivery, slowly working your way across the country. The multiplayer aspect is a treat. Structures that other players have built can appear in your world, saving you from spending precious resources and giving you ideas for how to get around by building things of your own. Players can even contribute towards each other's structures if they're lacking materials. Roads are the most exciting things to build. They require the most resources but building long stretches of roads allows you to travel quickly and safely without any wear and tear of equipment. The story was a bit too on the nose. There's only so many ways you can spout the same message. A little bit of patience will go a long way towards enjoying the experience; not just to ride out the story but also for the myriad of animations and dialog bits you'll repeatedly hear throughout. There are a lot of animations/mini-cutscenes for actions like getting out of bed, dropping off packages, activating consoles, etc. Enjoy this game for what it is: a high production value deliveryman simulator with an engaging traversal and progression system.

I got this game for Christmas and haven’t been able to put it down. It’s basically Black Mirror the game. Interesting story and challenging gameplay.

Slow start but once u keep going and by ch4 it starts to pick up was truly a master piece and its on my top games i spend about 60+ hrs

This game is one of top 10 games in the past 2 years. Amazing story with great graphics definitely need to add to your collection

I've heard a lot of people complain that Death Stranding was weird, confusing, didn't have enough action, and was basically a walking simulator with some stealth... This might all be true - but it's the best, most riveting walking simulator I've ever played. The landscape is absolutely gorgeous and terrifying and if you're not just looking around in awe of the scenery, then you're constantly on edge expecting an attack, either from the supernatural beings or fellow humans.

I’ve always wanted a game that was great atmosphere and story.. add reedus as the main character and it’s awesome! One title that should be owned .

Game play was good and the quality of the game itself was good too. But I just couldn't get into the game. I found it to be very strange and slow at a lot of points. I didn't get very far into the game and I doubt I'll end up finishing it.

I’m only about ten hours into it but the story is so mysterious and intriguing that I can’t stop playing. The act of taking packages from here to there is fun itself but it’s the story that captivates me. If you’ve played any Metal Gear games then you know about half the game is a movie and Death Stranding is no different so far. That’s what I love about his games though. I highly recommend this game if you’re a story lover and enjoy beautiful graphics. Two thumbs way up!

This game has a new gaming strategy to it that involves a "like" system that allows for you to go through on your quest and find areas that allow for you to traverse either unscathed or put you into real peril. The idea is to bring the community together to help rebuild society and in the real world we work together to do that in this game. It's quite unique and fun to play. Be warned though it's intense on the cut scenes and the story is great but gameplay needs to be methodical and paced. Anything less would be to your detriment. Happy playing!

I like the game alot. Great graphics and story. The controls are not intuitive and took me a while to figure out.

I've been playing this game for about 10 hours and I LOVE IT. It may be slow and tedious for some, as there is no much fighting and shooting (at least so far) but I love the soothing feeling of just walking around to deliver packages. It may get a bit intense when you encounter BTs and they "attack" you but that's far from other zombie games where you fight 120% of the time. If you like slow pacing games with a bit of spicy fights, that may be the game you were looking for

It’s a bit slow in the beginning and repetitive. Wish there where different mission when starting.

well made game. been out awhile. can not beat the price though. good for fill in playing.

In open world games I mainly long for interesting places to explore but will often find myself disappointed in games because exploring adds up to just traversing an area once and finding no real use for the area again. I like that Death Stranding brings an element to exploring I don't see a lot which is the element of being faced with some obstacles you have to cross multiple times and you can add to the environment with ladders, ropes, bridges, roads, etc so that your trips back and forth get easier if you place things strategically.

Very innovative and unconventional game with breath-taking graphics and immersive story.

Good game. Beautiful visuals and good story, albeit a little repetitive.

Great game for 20$! Black Friday deal. More of an exploration game, not too much combat. Definitely different. I enjoy it.

The playable intro to this game is brilliant. It gives you just enough to get you wanting to play more and question as to what the heck is going on. The game is quite a unique experience as one would expect from Kojima. Some excellent horror elements round out this game. At the same time, main character Sam shells out some witty one-liners while out and about. Funny parts like that tell you not to take it too seriously.

Kojima Productions has done it again, and created a masterpiece! You wont regret buying this game, even at full price. The characters, the story, the music, everything is well crafted and combine to make this wonderful experience. Don't read much about the game however, just get it. It is best to be confused to know nothing about the game because it will not make sense in the beginning, but you find out more as the story goes on, and it will all eventually make sense, and it is mind blowing!

Still haven't finished it, but it's very different from a lot of games out there. Not really horror, but scary moments. Combat is minimal and best avoided. Just making deliveries in a desolate, but somehow still beautiful world. The story is definitely a Kojima type of story, in that you're almost always going "huh?" in each cut-scene. Try it if you're in the mood for something unique, but maybe not if you're looking for an action packed experience
