    The story and the graphic are what this game is made of. It took awhile to figure out what to do but there is some fun once things get going.

    Kajima comes up with some of the craziest stories I have ever seen! The game looks great and though you simply deliver things it still manages to be really fun as well as challenging.

    I really enjoyed Death Stranding, the story and game play is so good, When it comes to story telling Hideo Kojima is one of the best. Definitely worth a buy.

    Video Kojima has once again created an amazing game. There are many side quests and overall game will take around fifty hours to complete. Highly recommend.

    Death Stranding is one the most bizarre and unconventional games I've ever played. The meat of the gameplay for Death Stranding is getting from point A to point B. Delivering a variety of packages that vary in weight and size. The list of tools you start of with is pretty basic but slowly expands as you get more and more useful equipment and expanding to new locations unlocks buildings that other players or yourself had built. Most of the enemies in the game are ones you need to avoid at all costs, combat in Death Stranding is greatly discouraged. Overall I really enjoyed my time with Death Stranding but some people might not like it.

    I did not know what to expect when I first played Death Stranding and that was the best part about it. If you are looking for a very fast paced game this isn't one. Instead like some of the best dramas on television the game uses the slow burn tactic to tell a character centered story using realistic mechanics in a sci fi world. If you want something that makes you think, question, and analyze then this is the game for you. However if you don't want that than it is not recommended.

    This game got a bad reputation due to all the hype that came before it and all the teasers that led people to speculate what the game was going to be. If you come with a clean mindset and forget all that hype and invest some time into the gaming mechanics the game starts growing on you. The story line is kind of weird but in the end is a good game to play.

    If you don't know what you are getting into and you love more action-oriented games, I really wouldn't recommend picking this up. As a fan of Kojima and a fan of weird game design choices though, this game fills a niche that just doesn't exist elsewhere. The feeling of "stranding" America together is very satisfying, especially since it brings with it the ability to see other people's structures makes you really feel like you're doing something meaningful. The moment-to-moment isn't the most exciting gameplay if you want pure action but it definitely has some nice traction and I had a lot of fun with it.

    While some people may find the gameplay a bit tedious or redundant, the story and atmosphere are set beautifully before you on this adventure from Kojima.

    This game will stay with you long after you finish it. It does take a long time to finish, and it's probably not for anyone looking for a lot of action. Deathstranding is more about the story and cinematic, but lets you feel like you are part of the story. It can be a little tough to follow if you aren't familiar with Video Kojima's style of storytelling and gameplay. It's a deep and involving story, and the gameplay feels very immersive and melancholy. If I had to compare this game to a style of music it would be the Smashing Pumpkins of video games. I loved it, and couldn't put it down.

    An absolute gem. The story was great. Norman Reedus was an excellent pick for this one. I liked the online aspects as well. the fact that your constructions can help other players and theirs can help you. you'll find some odd ones placed in weird places just because. I'll still throw those a few likes if I can get a laugh out of it. I can't wait to see what comes next cause this definitely need a sequel or two. A bit of a disclaimer though. THIS purchase was a Christmas gift for my step-dad. My purchase was the digital version on PSN and Steam.
