Irgendwie eintönig

Die Grafik, Musik und Landschaften sind sehr gut gemacht. Das wars dann aber auch schon mit den guten Sachen.
Die Story widerspricht sich in jedem zweiten Satz und ist noch dazu unglaublich nervig. (es wird ständig gesagt, dass wir doch die USA retten müssen und so ein Patriotistengelaber).
Gameplay ist auch absolut langweilig. Man rennt die ganze zeit nur von A nach B und teilweise immer wieder die selben Strecken.

It's... incredibly good.
Man does this game deliver. No other words really, one of the best games of all time.
I can't wait for 2(Please Sony, PC release early).

The intro is a slog, the ending is 4 hours of back to back cutscenes explaining the same crap ad infinitum, but the middle and post game is so freaking fun, engaging and unique. There's basically nothing else that plays like or gives off the same vibes and emotions Death Stranding does, after playing, it really does change how you view the world, humanity and your relationships. It's a true work of art and it's worth at least a try.
Also there's a secret cutscene of Mads Mikkelsen wishing you a personal Happy Birthday, on your birthday and it legitimately made me blush.

“The most important things are not things.”

I want to challenge the conventional wisdom that this game is not for everyone — it is not true.
It is for everyone. Meditative gameplay that is easy and relaxing at low difficulty and challenging at high difficulty will satisfy any need. Everyone will eventually like it, but at different times in life.

This game will give rest to your mind and eyes if you require just that. Just watch and listen.

This game will give you the joy that not everything in the world can yet be killed, destroyed, sold or betrayed because mutual assistance, hope, and simple human joys are still alive.

This game will delight you with a good storyline and simple little stories with small secondary characters. Along with the fantastic nature of the world, all these stories are still close and understandable to everyone.

Every little thing in the game prompts you to think about human nature, about life and death, about what humanity considers important for some reason, and what it forgets — although humanity shouldn't forget.

one of the best games ever

yes.

fantastic game from start to finish and plays really well on the steam deck

I've put 100 hours into the game and finished it 100%. I can easily say that it is a masterpiece that is against traditional gaming norms. It's like a $100 million indie game.

What truly stands out is the social strand system, which allows players to assist one another without ever meeting face-to-face. The shared structures and tools left behind by other players can completely change how you approach a challenge, which reinforces the game’s central theme of connection. Knowing that many of the bridges, highways, and ziplines I built were used and liked by other players, and being able to use their structures and items during difficult times, was a wonderfully unique feeling and experience.

Death Stranding is not a "walking simulator". The gameplay side of the game is incredibly strong. For example, my most recent achievement required me to fabricate 108 weapons and pieces of equipment, which demonstrates the game's diversity in gameplay. There are also plenty of situations where combat is involved, such as fighting mysterious, ghost-like entities, and rescuing cargo from terrorists. Moreover, there is a great sense of peace and joy in trying to prioritize your cargo orders, managing your weight, and strategizing how and where to reach your destination. The sense of achievement that comes after overcoming difficulties is another. Additionally, the support of other players relieves you and reinforces the sense that you are not alone in that world.

The story, though enigmatic at times, is deeply emotional. The story presentation showcases Hideo Kojima's directorial skills. Some may complain about the length of the cutscenes, but I found them quite fascinating and highly engaging.

And I have to say, the end of the game gave me the most emotional experience I've ever had in a game...

Play this if you thing cringe is based.
I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love walking, I've never felt real "solitude" in a game until now. This is such a unique experience that is worth the play if you have holes in your brain like i do. No don't force yourself to like it just try and let the game grow on you even if it feels like mold.
My favorite thing is this Super Earth vision of america and corny ass writing that overstays it's welcome. i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love it and if you don't then that's fine but it took me a second try to fully get through it.
