    I got this the day it came out. I was not impressed. The graphics are amazing the story seems great, but when I played it I just seemed tedious. I did not play it for a few month and just restarted it, and again, I am stuck trying to get a delivery that is in the middle of a river and every time I try to get it he falls and looses his cargo. I then have to go get the lost cargo and try to retrieve the cargo in the middle of the river. I think it could be a good game, it looks amazing, it plays amazing, but it's just meh. Might try it again in a few months. Not forth the $60 I spent honestly...

    I'm thoroughly enjoying taking my time with this game. I'm over 30 hrs in, but still in chapter 3. It's a really serene experience gathering supplies to rebuild roads, build/reinforce structures or deliver lost cargo for other players. Hard to articulate, but it's pretty addictive and I have no plans to rush through it...

    If you know what you're getting, this is an A+ execution--a really amazing game in so many technical ways. But it's also a game I have to be in a very specific mood for--it really feels more like a movie than a game sometimes.

    I really enjoyed the game. But as stated in the summary, it is not for everyone. It's very cinematic, very "out there", the gameplay isn't necessarily the most "fun", but I think it's a commendable game in terms of story telling. If you have the patience, I recommend it.

    Not as big of a departure from Metal Gear as I thought, aside from the de-emphasize on combat and stealth. Really fun to explore and an awesome online component that really helps. Enjoying, even though Kojima has questionable female character archetypes in his games.

    A meditative game that dwells on loneliness and what it means to connect to people wrapped in the sci-fi weirdness you'd expect from Kojima. Explore a large open world, escape the ghosts chasing you, protect BB, and Make America Whole Again. If you think this game is for you then it probably is.

    Death Stranding had a lot of potential behind it because of its creator’s reputation, but not a lot of people knew what it was. Happy to say that even though it isn’t what I expected, it ended up being perfectly wonderful in its own ways. A must play for people who love artistic style in video games!!!

    The graphics and scenery look awesome. So far I’ve played this game a few hours and nothing has really happened. Hopefully it’s a build up to better things so far not too impressed.

    The landscape is cool and very scenic. Not as user-friendly as expected at first but it develops over time. Lost interest after a few chapters but still a like-able escape and interesting for fans of Norman Reed.

    While new aspect on the way you think of an open world. Makes you strategies all the different ways you do things and even the environment around you is extraordinary. Well thought out game. Would reccomend for thought who can be patient.

    Absolutely a masterpiece. I do admit the game is not for everyone because there are some abstract elements. If you don’t know Kojima or if you aren’t familiar with his work, this might be a gamble. But I love the artistry, game mechanics, and story.

    Beautifully graphical game a lot of people say it say package delivery simulator but it's a little bit more deeper than that it's a lot of inventory management story is very obscure if you have ever played a kojima game we'll know that there's little odd quarks throughout.
