"Death Stranding makes its debut on PlayStation 5 with a Director&s;s Cut that, while offering players a good dose of unpublished content, does not consistently alter the quality balance of Hideo Kojima&s;s latest work. The ludonarrative essence of the production …"

"On the PS5 Death Stranding is as beautiful as ever and this Director&s;s Cut gives players a bunch of new and (quite) interesting content, but not enough to make it feel really new and fresh."

"Two years after its original release, Death Stranding is still a masterpiece, with a moving story, unforgettable characters and impressive visuals. New gameplay mechanics, missions and minigames don´t add much to a game that already felt as a director´s cut."
