DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT

6 hours into the game and was loving it. Honestly, it’s a great game but the save bug makes it unplayable. I noticed my save would get “stuck” while autosaving once every hour or so… Which was manageable. I’d just exit the game and reopen and lose 5-10 mins. Now I’m at a place where every other save is getting stuck. I can’t even exit the base without the game being stuck saving. Many people on Reddit have the same issue. Wish they would properly address this but it seems to not be a priority. That’s too bad because if this hadn’t been an issue I would’ve given a 5/5.

The initial experience is incredibly frustrating and monotonous. One is forced to endure an endless, poorly drawn screen that informs them that the game will commence after downloading at least 12 GB of data. Despite the screen indicating that the download is in progress, I’ve observed a negligible amount of data being downloaded after an inordinate amount of time. This functionality should not have been integrated within the game’s framework but would have been better implemented as a standard iOS user interface that provides real-time feedback on the download’s progress. This feedback should include the network rate speed, estimated completion time, and any potential issues and their suspected causes. This way, if one needs to contact the developer support team, one won’t be left guessing about the underlying problem. Based on other reviews and the collective frustrations expressed over the past few months, it’s evident that there’s a significant issue, yet it appears that no one is addressing or caring about it.

Won’t install- just sits at 0% and “OK” button just blinks. Pressed it several times and no reaction

A 5-star game because I’ve owned it on my PC, but I paid for a Mac version to support the developer and to be able to play on my Mac, and it won’t even launch? p.s. I’ve logged in to the Game Center.

The game is visually stunning and incredibly enjoyable. It’s surprisingly peaceful, and I never imagined a console game would play so well on my phone. I’ve encountered a few minor issues, but they’re easily overcome. The only downside is the inability to manually delete save data. Since I have limited storage, I hope they’ll add this feature in the future so I can fully enjoy the game without compromising on other files. Overall, it’s an exceptional title.

This is the most money I’ve ever spent on a game and I couldn’t be happier with the performance of this game. Works flawlessly on my M4 Pro Mini, My iPad Pro, and my MacBook Air M1. There is a lot to do in this game with exploring, collecting, some battle and stealth maneuvers. I haven’t been this pulled into another world so deeply. My only criticism is the cutscenes after some commonly repeated actions get annoying.

I’m playing on IPhone 16 pro max it keeps crashing smh

TLDR: Give them your money.

Now if you want the longer version, it goes like this. 

* “default” settings. 
* 1080p 24’’ Monitor through HDMI
* Running on SanDisk 1TB Extreme PRO
* 8bitdo Controller

The game works as intended without dropped frames, audio issues, or random crashes. The graphics could be better but is possibly due to my monitor or graphic settings. This game shows that gaming on a Mac is not a pipe dream anymore.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite games, the story alone draws you in and the game play kind of cinches it. Yes, it’s kind of slow. However, the mechanics of,the game work. My only problem is a bug. Saving either crashes the game or the feature itself. If it freezes, sure you can keep playing but it no longer saves because the feature is broken. Lo and behold if you don’t notice it (the save icon non-stop flashes) as you continue to play and realize later on that the game wont automatically save or manually save.

12/10
