Critic Reviews
- Death Stranding is an absolute masterpiece. It’s a triumph of one man’s unrelenting, uncompromised vision of hope. So powerful was this vision that it gave a deeply cynical individual like me a reason to hope. It’s a technological achievement on so many levels. But perhaps most of all, its revolutionary story, outstanding characters, and singular theme of human connection is the lingering triumph of Death Stranding.
Poorna Shankar · Aug 20, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - There are plenty of moments where tone-setting music sets in and the vastness of the landscapes smothers you with solitude and despair. Collecting materials and contributing them to an online structure was engaging and even downright addictive. Moreover, the foundations of the plot intrigued me so much. I think that's what pains me so much about Death Stranding: I can see its potential, but the game went too far in too many disparate directions.
Chris Barnes · Aug 07, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Varied gameplay mechanics, an intriguing story, and Hideo Kojima's signature attention to cinematic storytelling elevate Death Stranding as a one-of-a-kind experience that is sure to consume your attention and imagination.
Arne Cito · Jul 24, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - A genuinely original and gorgeous new title from Kojima that manages to overcome its indulgent sections and a plodding midsection with a thoughtful ending. Did we say it looks utterly gorgeous too?
Ed Orr · Jul 20, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - As a whole Death Stranding, is an extremely polarising experience. It’s an ambitious title that dares to do something different in a sea of genre clones, and for the most part, it actually does succeed. However, those minor annoyances and long stretches where nothing happens can bring the experience down a notch.
Kyle Nicol · Jul 20, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Overall, Death Stranding is an enjoyable, story-centric game, with realistic physics and unique in-game interactions. Although it was a little difficult to understand the story at first, the game's creator Hideo Kojima spaced out the small details enough to keep players engaged and progressing, eager to learn more.
Kiemour · Jul 20, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - You’re never made to feel like a hero, you’re just a guy who happens to occasionally do something heroic. You’re a cog in a bigger moving machine. Sam’s goal is the same as any of us really, a search for a better tomorrow. The only way Sam is ever going to find it is if he "keeps on keeping on", and that’s something I think we can all relate to.
Johnathan Irwin · Jul 17, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Granted, a ponderous, pensive delivery simulator will be a hard sell for a lot of people. But if you value games that defy genre, reward patience, and aren't afraid to get weird, Death Stranding is a wild ride worth taking, even if it stumbles along the way.
Andy Kelly · Jul 13, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Death Stranding is an excellent game with a lot of content and a ton of unique angles. The story is straight-up dumb a lot of the time and things can get tedious and clunky, but the thrill of exploration and making your own way overcomes all obstacles. Just like. Ugh. Sam Porter Bridges.
Andrew Farrell · Jul 13, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - The moment-to-moment gameplay, however, falls short due to its repetitiveness, and the long stretches without any real action make it difficult to recommend the game to all open-world fans. Death Stranding is something different, and only approaching it with an open mind will reveal the brilliance of its themes, its characters and its hauntingly beautiful dystopian world.
