This was what the Voxel review had to say about the game's issues btw. Pretty much what I expected. Seems like a YMMV scenario, if you're cool with a slow burn then you're golden.
From Voxel Brazil - 91/100
"If you like mysteries and loved the cryptic marketing campaign that Kojima alone can craft, leave this review right now and dive headfirst into the unknown. You see, that's where a huge part of the game's charm resides: having an ultmost personal experience and expect to be surprised"
Se você gosta de mistérios e tem amado a campanha nebulosa que só Kojima pode bancar, saia desta análise agora e mergulhe de cabeça rumo ao desconhecido. Sabe, aí é que está grande parte da graça do game: jogar, ter uma experiência bastante pessoal e esperar para ser surpreendido.

The pope himself has graced the thread with his presence
I hope title drops become the industry standard this next gen.
"You know miss Maiden in Black? this truly feels like the Demon's Souls remake for the PlayStation 5 developed by Bluepoint".

I'm Ready.
hahaha! The special thanks sealed it.
It's kinda funny though how often all the credit goes to one person. I see it time and time again in regards to game developers.

Initial view shows what seems to be "zoo" at almost dead center of the circled area. Is Geoff saying this thread is indeed a zoo? Possible, and likely an accurate description.
A second pass pulls both the double o or 0 in combination of grass strands that tend to jump out at us because of their perpendicular configuration. The underline giving emphasis to the revealed incredible score, 100.
It's still too early to tell. We have to go deeper.

Awesome. I've barely paid any attention to the media for this game so that's great for me
Let me ask you a question guys
"Is a man not entitled to the death of his strand"?
No, says the man in Metacritic, it belongs to User Reviews
No, says the man in Opencritic, it belongs to Epic now
No, says the man in the internet, it belongs to Geoff
Geoff Keighley Can you please answer me with a gif whether Kojima san will start creating Silent Hills after Death Stranding?
Some points in this review for you guys:
- Kojima did it: Make delivers is fun. He played for 50 hours and is very 'comfy' to deliver packages.
- Combat started after 5-6 hours in the game, but it's not the focus.
- Stealth is really good.
- Memorable boss fights, but he wanted more.
- He thinks that the multiplayer is creating a new genre. A step ahead from souls multiplayer.
- He spent 10 hours just creating "a better world" (roads, etc). It's fun to mold this world.
- Original story and well made.
- Graphics are a sneak peek at next-gen.
- He didn't like the pacing.
- Empty open-world.
Main quote:
"Death Stranding is not a revolutionary game, but it sets up an unpublished picture with old pieces and brings a freshness of creativity to the market."
This is gonna be nuts honestly regardless if its a 99 or 10 on metacritic and im here for it.
Good luck to KojPro and everyone that helped on the project

Music to my ears tbh. I wish I had a PS4 Pro to see this game at its best (well at least until the PC version comes out).
That voxel review is sounding good, main issues being slow opening, Could use more variety in visuals, difficulty and more bosses.
other than that it praises the aspects of DS, original and strong story, package delivery mechanics being surprisingly fun, 50 hour long campaign in addition to a lot of side quests, good gameplay pacing in giving the player more things to play with as you continue, praises the multiplayer aspect, one of the best looking games of the generation and runs at an extremely stable 30 FPS and a superb soundtrack.
all in all sounds like a great game
also there are a few pictures in the review and god damn it's jaw dropping

All I want to know if the game will get more updates and support after release and possible future DLCs. I can't imagine an open world game with no further support or DLCs after launch.
God I'm so tired guys. I need to go to sleep, but I want to see the reviews so badly.
Bless Kojima

Most people are expecting a divisive game. Zelda was a big hoo ha because people had convinced themselves that a direct follow up to the "greatest game of all time" OOT could only be better. A new IP in an experimental style has none of that pressure.
I have a feeling this will be a wild night. Will return in the morning to survey the aftermath.
