Death Stranding is dense, complex, and powerful, steadfast in its belief in the power of love and hope when faced with overwhelming adversity.

Agreement—

Hideo Kojma's first post-Metal Gear game is a messy, indulgent vanity project - but also a true original.

It’s hard not to like Sam Bridges, who faces all of Death Stranding’s bizarreness with a welcome everyman’s weariness, encapsulated in in Norman Reedus’ characteristic growl.

Kojima's mysterious would be epic has its moments but can't carry the weight of expectation.

Agreement—

Death Stranding delivers a fascinating world of supernatural sci-fi, but its gameplay struggles to support its weight.

Agreement—

Following years of mysterious anticipation, Death Stranding delivers on all fronts. An accomplished, fascinating set of gameplay mechanics allow you to make deliveries the way you want to, while social features let the game live on once you've put the controller down. It may become slightly tiresome as you hit the halfway mark, but the phenomenal narrative is on hand to pick things back up again and its outstanding visuals are the cherry on top. Death Stranding doesn't raise the bar for any particular genre, it creates an entirely new one.
