Would be great if the save bug was ever fixed
How long has this game been out and you haven’t resolved the save bug? Awesome game, runs ok given the hardware limitations, but you can’t update the game to fix the infuriating save bug? Just lazy while you sit back and take the money.
Title: A £35 glorified FedEx simulator. Boring, tedious, and completely unplayable.
Do not waste your hard-earned money on this game like I did. This is marketed as a massive, blockbuster sci-fi action game, but in reality, it is a horribly boring delivery simulator that feels like actual digital labor.The entire gameplay loop is fundamentally a tedious chore. You spend hours loading up menus, packing boxes, and micro-managing an inventory screen just to walk from Point A to Point B. The game treats movement like homework—you are constantly fighting a stamina meter and adjusting your center of gravity just to climb over basic rocks and mud. The open world is completely dead and empty; it is just a frustrating obstacle course designed to make you trip, fall, and ruin your cargo. There is no chaotic freedom like GTA, and no immediate, tense survival action like Resident Evil. It takes 10 to 15 hours of slow, repetitive pacing just to unlock basic tools like a vehicle charger.
To make it worse, the game is completely up its own arse with pretentious, wordy dialogue and hours of unskippable sci-fi jargon. It drops an overwhelming amount of details on you but gives zero clear guidance or mini-maps on where to go, forcing you to treat the game like a literal topographic map-reading puzzle. Shoving this hyper-complex, text-heavy game onto an iPhone screen makes it ten times worse—the touch controls are cluttered and the text size is painfully small and unreadable.If you want a fast-paced game that respects your time, skip this completely. It is an anti-fun piece of manual labor that isn’t even worth a fraction of the price. Absolute rubbish.

Save issue
I have a save issue that prevents me from getting past the roboticist. Gets stuck on saving without ever saving 🥺
Update: still having the same issue, can’t play more than 15 min without getting in a save loop, can’t believe this hasn’t been fixed after a whole year! 😫

Too slow
The game is visually stunning and this is certainly a very different game to others played. I played it for a good few hours but became tired of the volume of video links between actual game play. It is quirky but far too slow in terms of story, character engagement etc. I may go back again and give it another try when the weather is bad outside but for now I don’t have a desire to play a game which ultimately bored me and at times made me frustrated with the snail pace progression.

Would be a 5 star rating but..
It’s just so difficult with touch controls. I’ve played and beaten this game on PS4/PS5 several times - in fact I actually like it better than DS2 - but this game needs controller support or physical buttons.
best of mac gaming
i don't know what it will be but i just waiting ang waiting and finally it's my time to play an AAA game in mac. If The last of us has a port too, it will be the best of mac gaming.
Игра не сохраняет прогресс
Играю и через некоторое время прогресс пропадает обидно 40$ заплатил
Great game and worth every penny…
I literally bought a new iPad so I could play this game. Love this game. First time playing and it’s quite a masterpiece. Pros kill the cons. Some people say the game is slow but honestly I don’t see that. It has its moments that may feel a bit dragged out. Won’t be on your feet for long. You’ll see.
Had issues with saving and crashing in the beginning but worth getting through it. Definitely looking forward to many many hours of gameplay.
If you were hesitant about getting it like me… I’m here to say it’s a must have. Must try. It’s full of adventure, exploring, and action. Promise

Doesn’t load
Often times requires a restart to load properly after getting stuck on a black screen when first opening the game. After loading, it sometimes doesnt store saves properly and requires an active internet connection. Not useful when resuming a game during a flight. This is unfortunate for what is otherwise an impressive port.

Outstanding experience.
I’m not sure why… however attempting to play death stranding on a home console never captured my attention or imagination. Suddenly, many years later picking this up on mobile while in transit this adventure has absolutely hooked me into the universe, narrative and gameplay mechanics.
While it may not appeal to everyone, I highly recommend giving it a go… the delayed gratification of accumulating success provides a high note many other games can deliver. You feel truly accomplished for pushing through difficult areas coming back later better equipped and knowing the hard yards were indeed worth your time, energy and effort.

Love this - serious save issue
I paid for this, it’s amazing, but there’s an issue with saving I’ve played through 2 episodes and keep saving the whole way through to no avail - it’s really great but an update for this issue would be great so I could actually play through
What a shame
Bugs galore and all but ignored by the devs. Not what you would expect from a game with Hideo Kojima’s name on it. Avoid at all costs.
Terrible controls
ported straight from xbox without adapting the controls for ipad at all… almost impossible to play
Don’t buy this.
I bought the game it’s horrible the graphics are terrible I want my money back it’s glitchy I can’t play it without it glitching every second. Do not buy this it’s not worth it. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!!
Damn Good Game
Excellent Port
Melhor jogo mobile
A história desse game é muito boa, já tinha zerado no ps5 mas comprei no iPhone para poder zerar de novo e de forma portátil, muito bom, que venha a continuação.

Wunderschönes Meisterwerk
Für mich ist das Spiel wie von einem Seelenverwandten entwickelt, der darüber hinaus ein Meister seines Fachs ist. Schauspielerich ist das Spiel brillant aber die Story ist Grütze. Sie dient dem fantastischen Gameplay in dieser unglaublich wunderschönen, abwechslungsreichen und atmosphärischen Landschaft.
Irgendwann aber wirkt das Spiel leider ein wenig wie ein Lieblingssong in Dauerschleife da die Höhepunkten fehlen. Wie sehr wünscht man sich auch den Musikplayer im Spiel. Die Lieder sind einfach toll und wurden so absolut toll und passend dafür ausgewählt.
Ich würde probieren mich auf die Hauptmissionen zu konzentrieren, die Landschaft puristisch zu erhalten und nicht allen Likes nachzueifern um dieses grandiose Spielerlebnis aufrecht zuerhalten.
