5.0 out of 5 stars Slow start but we'll worth the effort Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2021 Verified Purchase I pre-ordered the original game and put it down after a short period playing it.
Decided to force myself to try it again when the Director's Cut came out.
I'm glad I did.
The main problem people have is exactly this. We're so used to immediate pay off in everything we do, games included.
I've had friends tell me if a game doesn't hook them in 15 minutes, they're done. It takes hours to get into this game. Patience is truly a virtue. This game has a very long prologue which also acts as a tutorial of sorts.
The story is weird but really can make you think. The gameplay is fun...more than a walking simulator. It can creep you out, make you care, make you cringe.
To be honest, you have to persevere through some not so good things to find the gem underneath. There are fails in the game, ultra long cutscene narratives and other things that I've never wanted to see in a game...involving grenades made from bodily excretions.
There are a lot of repetitive NPC dialogues and inconsistent ways to skip these things.
The game is a fetch quest but with true consequences. Your inventory matters unlike some games where you can carry a ton of stuff that is never visible and may at worst slow you down.
Online play is amazing. You never see other players but you experience their impact and this is a lot of fun.
I think the game is a must buy but only if you're willing to give it a chance. Read more 29 people found this helpful Helpful

3.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful game but quite disturbing themes Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2021 Verified Purchase So death stranding has been out for almost 2 years on ps4 and I never researched it or played it. The trailer resurfaced for the ps5 so I preordered it thinking this would be a similar game to horizon zero dawn with a more sci-fi adventure theme. Which it does fit into that category but, the more I get into the campaign the more demented I feel the story gets. I’m not going to spoil the story for those reading but quite honestly if you like demented themes of death and sci fi horror this is your game. When you take the story out of the equation you get a decent exploration game that looks incredible, however it’s quite boring walking around. Vehicles exist in the game but take awhile to get. Overall it’s a decent walking simulator but it’s story IMO is sick twisted and demented. 5 people found this helpful Helpful

4.0 out of 5 stars not what i was expecting at all... Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2021 Verified Purchase just beat this game today. i have mixed feelings about it honestly. some days i really enjoyed it and others i was frustrated, bored, and could not wait to finish it already. some times it was a lot of fun, others it was like a lot of work. even head scratching in some ways. but it's all part of the game itself.
from someone who had no concept of what this game was when i purchased it, did not watch any previews or videos before buying it (only glanced a few reviews online) and only bought it because it had norman reedus in it, my first impression right from the start was: THIS GAME IS WEIRD. very, very weird. and, yes, it is true what others have said. this game starts off on the slow side. extremely slow. i almost called it quits and even felt sleepy at times in the beginning during some of the long cutscenes. but the graphics are amazing and the game slowly reeled me in as i began to understand how to play. the story picks after a while and i found myself wanting to see what happens. and even though some of it seemed repetitive i strangely kept coming back for more. maybe because i do not like to give up so easily. although i considered it many times throughout the game honestly.
one thing that really surprised me was discovering this is an open world type of game. it's also worth noting this game is like a marathon. it’s not a quick 15 hour play and finish. it took me just under 60 hours, and that was without doing the side missions. only a small handful as they consume lots of time just as the regular missions do.
this game seemed like it would never end at times. i understand why there are many negative reviews about it. it's not for everyone. it has very long and complex story with some bizarre and interesting twists. i will say, however, that everyone who gave up on this game and did not finish missed out on the very long and crazy finishπ€―
final thoughts: if you are looking for something different, then perhaps give this a try. for me, it’s the definition of something that is not what you may have expected it to be, but very rewarding in a way of when expectation does not meet desire. it's like one of those really long movies that's kind of boring in the beginning, even weird, and gets even weirder as it progresses, leaving you in a little bit of shock in the end.
i give it 4 stars overall for all of the time and effort put into the creation and story telling. i can tell a lot of work went into creating this one. but it's more like between 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 stars considering all of the agony i went through in the beginning to get to the twisted ending. the battle scenes kind of make up for it though lolπ
one more thing, i really liked the online connection to other players. i thought that part was pretty cool.
cheers! Read more One person found this helpful Helpful
