Powerup Gaming- 3/10
expiry Stranding is clearly a labour of love for Kojima and his team but I hate it . game do n’t require to be fun , exciting , happy or cool but they should at least be entertaining .
demise Stranding is not entertaining . As such , it fail as a video recording game , it betray as a narrative and it fails overall .
VG24/7- 3/5
destruction Stranding exert metaphor like a cudgel and vex you over the headland with it . Sam Bridges , the man who ’s travel the world to connect people , has aphenphosmphobia – the veneration of being touch . That ’s just , like , so deep , man . Let me take another hit on this bong .
stevivor- 3.5/10
The trouble withDeath Strandingis that Hideo Kojima has become completely self - soft , making something I ’m sure he considers a masterpiece . last Strandingis anything but , with its heading so far up its own ass it ’s almost funny . "
Game Informer- 7/10
The real issue is that Death Stranding ’s gameplay really is as simple as it looks like , and the elements around it – the news report , fighting , and lusterless mission objectives – are n’t satisfying enough to ground the deed of conveyance and get musician invested .
VGC- 3/5
Death Stranding is an strange and fascinating secret plan by triple - A blockbusters standards , but its working are clogged by its God Almighty ’s self - importance . It deserve extolment for side - stepping a few of the open - world genre ’s bad habits , but Kojima needs to shed a few of his own if he ’s function to move beyond Metal Gear .
CGM- 7.5/10
decease Stranding also has a tendency to finger like it ’s designedly waste your time . You often have to take the air to one positioning , then recall to the honest-to-goodness one again , doing a back - and - forth across the map when the missions and interference were already uninteresting .
AusGamers- 6/10
I detest take to be the messenger here – and that statement could work as my eight - Holy Scripture revue – but I must deliver some bad news today . Unless you ’re a super hardcoreKojimafan who ’s been devouring every single fight of pre - release information onDeath Stranding , there ’s a unspoiled opportunity you ’re about to saddle up with something that is n’t what you guess it is .
IGN- 6.8
The vast majority of its 70 main floor missionary work are structured in the same agency as the optional side missions we ’ve all run in innumerous other undefendable - humanity game . With the exception of certain tutorial missions which introduce the basics of the combat organization , political boss fights , and a smattering of other scrap - oriented diversions , advancing the plot of land in Death Stranding amounts to taking detail X from location A to location vitamin B complex , over and over again . Sounds pretty repetitious , proper ? Well , the good news program is that there are also side missions in dying Stranding . The spoilt news is that these side mission are also fetch pursuit , set about in the main to unlock additional items or customisation options .
Death Strandingdefinitely thwarted critic . The main criticism the game receive were : boring gameplay , convoluted inventory management , and a sometimes self - lenient story . This is thefirst game Kojima has released since depart Konamiback in 2015 .
A game can be emotionally or mechanically difficult , but it should never finger backbreaking . There have been many successfulchoose your own adventureor walk simulator games . These are the types of games for players who would prefer to be immersed in a story rather than the gameplay . In some ways , Death Strandingis a story focalize walking simulator . In others , it ’s a third person activity secret plan . And in others , it ’s survival repugnance . Essentially , Death Strandingis what Kojima wanted- a biz that is unfeignedly unlike any other .
