Death Stranding - PlayStation 4

This was supposed to be a Christmas gift for my husband, but he opened the package before I could hide it! Needless to say he loves the game and hasn't stopped playing it since it was delivered. The gameplay is visually stunning and allows for some open world exploration too.

I waited until the PS5 upgrade was announced to buy this game. Had $40 price but once I checked out it came out to $20. So that’s was a great price. I tested on my PS5 without the update and it’s a good game.

its a very good game

The game is wonder-filled, beautiful, and haunting. It's not MGS6, although there is more action here than has been described in many reviews or seen on YT. For example, you've probably read the "first 10 hours are a slog and filled with backtracking." Well, I didn't have to backtrack til hour 6 and when I did, it was on a motorcycle and took like 2 minutes. Before that point, I was pulled into an amazing world and game play loop that alternated between top tier storytelling cinematics and tight, compelling game play. Each loop added a bit more to each. Within 3 hours, I had seen and done more crazy things than most games dream of, had heart pounding moments, planned my moves, ran for my life, explored in wonder, and got pulled into the mystery of terms, characters, and visuals Death Stranding offers. Give the game a rental or if you have the disposable income, go with your gut. This isn't No Man's Sky launch part 2. This is a masterpiece in its own right and playing it will be immensely satisfying and emotionally engaging. History will look fondly on Death Stranding after the initial polarization stabilizes.

Another excellent Kojima game. Characters and story was awesome.

I am not very good at playing video games but I was able to finish this game. I was happy I could play at my own pace and I know it took me a lot longer than other players in a message group I joined. The graphics are wonderful and I plan on replaying from the beginning.

Do you like walking? Do you like building things? Do you like delivering packages? Do you like Monster brand energy drinks? If you answered yes to all of these than this is the game for you!
