The short version. This is a very bad game. Don't play it, even for free. This is coming from a gamer who is quite generous in his reviews.
Now the long version. Death stranding is an insult to Hideo Kojima himself. You'd expect at least a half decent game, as Metal Gear solid, Phantom pain. It is not.
The graphics are good, music and SFX are nothing short of a AAA title, and all. You can add as many toppings and spices as you want, but what to do if the brat is a spoil? The gameplay is pathetic, extremely slow-paced and highly confusing. At best, this is an "okay" hiking simulator.
The only challenge this game poses, is to go from point A to B in a single sitting. The start of the game is brutal on the player as hell. The weight limitations, complete absence of weapons initially and very tough terrain made me hate this game more and more.
If you don't believe me, play it for 2 hours and thank me after.
