Our analysis

Highly polarizing artistic work with stunning visuals. Unique vision but highly subjective.

Uniquely meditative game where terrain is the challenge. Beautiful desolate world with zen-like traversal.

Our analysis

A divisive, deliberately slow Kojima creation that frustrates early on with janky traversal, punishing low starting stats, and tediously redundant delivery cutscenes and menus that bury the user interface. Yet once the map opens up in Chapter 3, its asynchronous multiplayer transforms the grind into a moving meditation on connection and shared burden. Not for everyone, but a genuinely ambitious work of art whose payoff lands precisely because the opening hours are so cruel.

Our analysis

Retrospectively praised as wonderfully singular and prescient — a hopeful, lonely meditation on connection that aged remarkably well after 2020's pandemic experience.

Solid PC port with excellent visual upgrade; unique delivery gameplay despite weak combat.

Our analysis

Angry Joe calls Death Stranding a game of two halves: a great story, universe and characters, plus tense, scary BT encounters, set against a delivery loop that isn't much fun over 40-plus hours and some weak dialogue. He finds it memorable but not for everyone.

    Our analysis

    A pretentious, overhyped disappointment: the delivery loop feels like endless side quests, the combat is awful and the story is absurd and at times sick. The soundtrack and quiet moments carrying cargo are the only highlights in a boring, mind-numbing game.

  • Plano de Juego😐 mixed

    Our analysis

    Death Stranding is a bold artistic achievement that successfully elevates narrative in games, but its mechanics suffer from repetition and the design prioritizes story over gameplay, moving away from what makes games unique as a medium.

    Our analysis

    A masterfully designed game with unconventional cargo delivery mechanics and meaningful social systems that everyone should play to understand modern society and human connection.

    Translated from French
    nevertheless, I don't think the game deserves a 19 out of 20, first of all it won't appeal to everyone and furthermore the gameplay is tainted with flaws
