Game RevolutionJason FaulknerNov 20195/5 starsDeath Stranding is one of the best games I’ve ever played. It’s smart, it’s well-produced, and it just feels good to play.

TheSixthAxisTuffcubNov 201910/10Death Stranding is like nothing I have ever played; beautiful, heart racing, heart breaking, frustrating, epic, stunning, and utterly nuts. I laughed, I cried, I cursed, and I went to the toilet an awful lot. Death Stranding isn't just my Game of the Year, it's a contender for Game of the Generation too.

Push SquareLiam CroftNov 201910/10Following 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.

StevivorSteve WrightJul 20203.5/10Even if Death Stranding’s narrative was good — and it’s not — a game needs to have actual gameplay. What you find within is abysmal; frustrating, tedious and beyond repair — even with the addition of DLSS on PC. It is to be avoided at all costs.

Game RantDalton CooperNov 20192/5 starsDeath Stranding is a boring chore of a game that takes the worst aspects of open world games and combines them with a nonsensical plot.
