    This is a game unlike any other. It has to be experienced to be understood. Hideo Kojima masterfully tells a story that only he could come up with. I highly recommend this game to gaming fans looking for something new. Bonus, this game has a fantastic sound track!

    It's a slow=paced game, but you get out of it what you put it. It's certainly not for everyone and is Kojima at his most self-indulgent. Enjoy the slow pace and immersion; don't rush because your first play-through will leave the most lasting impact in my opinion.

    A great game told very slowly. I would argue the story outshines the gameplay but the gameplay definitely helps tell the story. You just have to be a bit patient with this one.

    My wife really enjoyed the game and can't wait for the next installment in the franchise. It was strange and fun and weird, and a nice break from the norm. After binging the other AAA titles, it was a nice change of pace.

    The world of Death Stranding is very interesting. While the game may not be for everyone, there's a lot of fun and thrill to be had discovering the world and following Sam Bridges' story. Make sure you keep your internet connection on in the game to get the most out of the gameplay.

    This game is textbook Hideo Kojima. It's weird, beautiful, and the soundtrack is fantastic. The gameplay is underwhelming at first (literally deliver packages without falling down), but the story makes it all worthwhile if you stick with it.

    I'm playing this on a PS4 Pro... This game was fun, finished it in a little over a week. The world is very good looking and huge with lots of things to do. The only thing that would annoy me while playing the game is the vehicle controls, but besides that everything was clear.

    Found the story to be out of this world bonkers. I would say that waiting for it to go on sale just months after release was the best xmas gift we could have gone. I wiuld have paid full price but i had a backlog. Regardless, stunning visuals 10/10. Story 20/10, gameplay 9/10

    Beautiful Graphics. Pretty good voice acting. But lord, is it just dull at times. The story can be interesting and at least it's unique, but the gameplay is just a chore. This might not be a fair rating, as I never ending up beating the game. This being because of other games coming out that took priority. That being said, if a game doesn't take priority over others, doesn't that assess the quality of it? If the game was really THAT good, I shouldn't have been able to put it down! I think I played about 65% of the story. Eventually, I'll go back and replay the entire thing, I'm sure. If you can get it cheap, it's worth it. Full price? Hard pass.

    This game is absolutely gorgeous, it’s hands down one of the best visually pleasing games on the market right now. The game play is mediocre, as the fighting minimal. You are more or less a delivery boy delivering different medications and supplies to various outposts.

    A bit difficult at first to understand the mechanics, but this game was very oddly captivating. Such a simple idea delivering items around, but this game’s wild story combined with beautiful landscapes provides a great experience.

    Great game. Kojima through and through. Starts off a little daunting but once you unlock travel options and more tools, it really opens up. Recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of kojimas work or just looking for something a little different.

    I was very skeptical about this game and heard a lot of mixed reviews. It's one of the most unique games I've played and isn't for everyone, but it's very well-made and polished. The "boring" aspects only get better as you keep progressing and give it a chance to grow on you.

    The game is for people who enjoy deep stories and gameplay. This game is ment to be an experience about the struggles of the everyday working man. I rented it first to try it out, and bought it a week later. I'm really enjoying the experience. I'm about 8 hours into the game.

    A great game about delivering packages. Hideo Kojima somehow does the impossible and makes a delivery simulator fun. Kojima will surely go down in history as one of the greatest individuals in the world with other such greats like Einstein, Hitler, and Jesus Christ, amen.

    This game is something that can stick with or bore you. It is not like your typical game but I think it is important for games like this to come out to be out of the ordinary and creative as they have potential to push the industry forward.
