    Outstanding game! Very long and drawn out if you love just venturing about which i quite enjoy. Easy to get lost in just wandering, Great graphics and story line. If your running an atmos system even up scaled sounds beautiful!

    First things first, yes you play a UPS guy delivering packages. But the storyline goes batcrap crazy in typical Kojima fashion. Its awe inspiring. A must play even if to ride out this crazy train of a narrative.

    The game play is different than any game. You walk a lot to deliver items in this game. It is very slow paced. The visual and sound are good. You would enjoy it if you like “Kojima”type stories.

    If dont like slow gameplay, repetitive gameplay, lots of back tracking, long cutscene, heavy narrative. This is not a game you are not going to like. Other wise you will love it. Recommend first to see videos before making your purchase decision.

    Death Stranding is a unique game from every corner you look at it. Design, graphics, story. You have to play it for a while to get into it. give it sometime and you will be rewarded. I hope the sequel does things differently though.

    Originally I didn't know what to think about this one, but having actually played it, I can say I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a solid, meditative 60 hours of gameplay, a much easier to digest story, and it all looks great.

    The game overall is very fun, and the world building is great. My only complaint is that the controlls can be a little difficult, and it can get boring just running around delivering stuff.

    This game takes a long time to really get into and process what is happening. However, once it is done, you are in for the story of a lifetime. It is very emotional and breathtaking at many points. Can not recommend this enough.

    It is a good game, if you have fun with its entertaining story and it has many hours of gameplay, ignore what people say that it is an uber eat simulator.

    I will say this game isn’t for everyone, but I enjoyed the story, the graphics, and concept overall. This is definitely a slow burn kind of game, so take your time with it.

    Great game! I'm only about 3hrs in so far but it has been a lot more fun that I expected it to be. If you are expecting tons of action or a call of duty type game, then this is definitely not for you. However, if you are open something new, give a try. If I explained that so far all you do is balance yourself and deliver packages across a crazy town, it'll sound pretty boring..but once you are playing, it is actually a lot of fun. This aside, I have a high quality surround sound system I have invested over 10k in by now and the soundtrack on this game is absolutely awesome. Great LFE and wonderful use of surround speakers. Last but not least, the graphics and in game visuals are great. Highly recommend the game!

    I picked Death Stranding up on sale recently. It's an awesome game. From the opening scenes and song, it had me instantly hooked. It's unique, no question and some may find it too slow, but I enjoyed the solitary journey and pace of it all. I have almost 50 hours in so far and probably have another 50-100 hours to go, maybe? I'm going to be playing this game for a while. Kojima and team have done a great job with this one. I look forward to the sequel down the road.

    Gameplay literally is delivering packages across United States, might not be for everyone, but for those who enjoy a good story and helping others, enjoying beautiful landscapes and a great soundtrack, this game is for you.

    This was one of my most highly anticipated games of the year. The name Hideo Kojima holds a lot of weight in the gaming community. While I did enjoy the game, it wasn't exactly what I expected or wanted from this A-lister project. Despite Excellent Graphics, fantastic voice work, and a completely Original story. I couldn't recommend this game to most people. As it's a very slow burn at the start. Not suitable for the A.D.D. attention span many have today. But, if you enjoy a strange though provoking single player experience check this game out. It's nice to know they still make unique original games, and not just remakes, and sequels with a large budget.

    Interesting Game

    As to be expected, Kojima made a very interesting game that has been polarizing the gaming community. Glorified delivery boy simulation or deep narrative on modern social and political constructs....or both....or neither. Open to interpretation to every person. However, in terms of game mechanics has a lot of detail put into it and a fair bit of strategy regarding how to organize packages for optimum balance and efficiency, prevent degradation of your packages, etc. Graphics are phenomenal. Huge world side. I'd recommend to someone looking for a beautiful game with a story that no-one (even Kojima) probably really understands but that is fun nonetheless.

    Definitely the best delivery simulator I've ever played. The world seems very simulated, very detailed. Great graphics, eery sounds and goofy dialogue at times. Also there's ghosts.

    In usual fashion, this game is a bit troll-y. But make no mistake, it’s visually stunning. I’m still trying to wrap my head around exactly what it is. But it’s clear no expense was spared to make it. So you play it if you enjoy what he makes. My buddy and I talked and it feels like a PS4 version of the Postman. But again, absolutely stunning visuals and some interesting mechanics. I’d rather not spoil game specifics. If you know this creator, you’ll understand what he makes. I’ll say that you’ll either like it or hate it.

    The story is interesting and engaging, the gameplay is fun and relaxing, I really enjoyed the experience and was really excited to see each turn the story provided. It was great, especially the hades segments.
