Death Stranding Hype Summed Up In One Hilarious Video thegamer.com
It’s also been critiqued by Eurogamer as being an overly-grandiose-to-the-point-of-groveling tribute to Kojima himself, and that “the production could certainly have used more people who were willing to tell Kojima no.” EDGE magazine editor Nathan Brown sums up his experience in a suitably amusing, if not quite harsh, way. Overall, widespread criticism seems especially directed to the game’s tediousness and heavy focus on a whole lotta walking around.
Then there’s the opposite end of the spectrum. One of the most noteworthy reviews being spoken about at the moment is a perfect 40/40 score given by renowned Japanese publication Famitsū. PushSquare also gave the game an outstanding 10/10 in their review, commending the game for its “gripping narrative unlike anything else,” and even making the bold claim that “Death Stranding doesn’t raise the bar for any particular genre, it creates an entirely new one.”
Love it or hate it, Death Stranding is making history. And even if you do hate it, it is surely undeniable that the visuals look superb. Even in the more abrasive reviews, it seems most have granted that the game’s visual environments are breathtaking. IndieWire claims that DS doubles as a cinematic experience in and of itself, saying it is the “best video game movie ever made.”
