DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT for Positive User Reviews
✓ Original is great. iOS version crashes constantly.I absolutely love this game. Port to iOS is beautiful and feels like the original. Only problem is it crashes constantly. Basically unplayable. Update: After offloading the app and redownloading, game is running smoothly. Does not reflect on the title screen that I am running the new build, but based on performance, I assume that I am indeed running the newest build..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Runs well on my M3 MBPGame runs well on my M3 MBP (24GB RAM). It did take a long time to download, I had to quit it and restart the download (and it took all night), even on my gigabit internet. I have played this game before on my gaming desktop and the story is incredible. Hideo Kojima really made a beautiful game with DS, both in story telling and the game's environments. I am thrilled to be able to play it on my macbook while on the go..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Game stuck in the bathroom sceneEvery time the camera shows the bathroom the whole game is stuck and I can do nothing but force quit the game in the Activity Monitor. Except that everything works perfectly so far. Hope the bug get fixed soon!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Great game, best with controllerOnly real issue is not being able to use both triggers on the touch screen without putting your hand in a claw grip, that and the heat coming from the device after around ten minutes. Definitely get a Backbone One, a Kishi, or a controller stand if you want to play this game comfortably. Better font size customization would also be appreciated, as it can be quite difficult to read it on a small screen, even on the larger setting..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Wow WowSuch a beautiful and well optimized game for M2 mac. Game is great but downloading from AppStore was extremtly slow..Version: 1.1.0
✓ SPECTACULARThe fact this runs so smooth is an achievement in mobile gaming. VERY WELL DONE PORT.Version: 1.1.0
✓ ICloud problemCan you guys fix the bug where iCloud backup of this game takes up 50GB（M1 iPadpro 16GB ram version) ?.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Love it but..I just spoke with the president and am on the first big mission, carrying a body. Pressing R2 makes him hold right but when I press L2 to make him hold left, he always is cursing himself or saying right time right place when holding L2. I feel like it shouldn't be doing this? He holds and balances fine, but during the cinematic music he keeps cursing himself and saying not right now….pretty sure this is a bug?.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Several FPS drops ! M1 iPad ProI’m very happy that this incredible game is ported for iOS. You can have my money just keep these game ports coming. The port itself is so much better than I expected and I still can’t believe I have this beautiful game on the go. But I can only rate it only 4 stars for now cuz FPS drops is more and more happening later game especially when I encounter BTs! Please, just make it stable. It’s almost perfect plsss..Version: 1.1.2
✓ ExcellentRun great on M2 Macbook Air: Robust 30 FPS with: * VSync On, * 30 FPS cap, * Every Graphic set to High, including Shadows, * MetalxFX Temporal on Ultra * HDR turned On for capable monitors. The best way to go IMO, with DualSense a controller. Thanks to 505 Games, Inc..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Runs great on m1 proAfter I finally was able to download it: No issues, runs great on m1 pro.. That said, the purchasing and downloading is a pain. Must have double the hard drive space available or you cannot purchase. Then, the download speed is incredibly slow, and it restarted a few times..Version: 1.1.0
✓ The Furure of Mac Gaming is looking BrightCurrently running this on the 14" M1 Pro with 10 CPU cores and 16 GPU Cores, 16gb RAM. Game runs incredibly well at 1200P: Locked 60 FPS at Medium Settings w/ MetalFX set to Quallity. I usually put on headphones but the MacBook Speakers sounds incredibly full and the cinematic experience that is Death Stranding had me glued to the screen. I have a High end gaming PC that'll run this game at max settings 120FPS but that's not the point: This is a laptop/MacBook, and I'm achieveing a comperable experience at a fraction of the wattage, and in turn heat and fan noise is so low it never took me out of the experience. This port should put Apple Sillicon on the map for many games present and future. Oversall, very impressed and happy with the $20 purchase: can't wait to replay another 150 hours of this game, on the go..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Simply beautiful!!!Running this on a MBP 14" M2 Max. Absolutely beautiful game and hyper realistic! On 1440p old mac display and running on max settings, this game runs flawlessly and fluidly. Amazing job on the execution! PLEASE NOTE: If you are running on Sonoma 14.4 beta, you may experience freezing during cutscenes where you need to force quit and restart the game and opt to skip the scene. Doing a fresh OS install of 14.3 solved the issue. That's the danger of running a beta version of an OS..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Very impressiveRunning the game on an M1 Mac Studio it really looks great with fluent animation and a lot of detail. There are a lot of cutscenes at the start which are beautifully done and really build the atmosphere. You may think that the game premise doesn't sound that exciting, but the atmosphere and planning involved make it engrossing. It is great to see a major game make it to the Mac and I'd highly recommend it if you're considering purchasing..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Anyone can run the game?Enjoyed the game and achieved the platinum trophy on PS5. However, I encountered an issue on iPhone – upon opening, a "Download game data" pop-up appears without a progress bar. Unfortunately, this window remains frozen and cannot be closed. Any insights or fixes for this would be appreciated..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Simply AmazingI am not going to review the gameplay as this is a port and numerous outlets and people have already done this. I will say the game might not be for everyone but I am thoroughly enjoying I! And for $20 for both MacOS and iOS, it cannot be beat. I would recommend either playing with a game controller or bluetooth mouse and keyboard for the full experience. Now onto gameplay. I have noticed some reviews of people saying they had download or or playability issues but I have had 0. I am playing at max graphics setting on an M1 Max MBP and the game is stunning. I have not run into a single frame drop, glitch or crash in over 6 hours of gameplay. Thank you to Kojima Productiuons for creating such a beautiful and unique game and a huge thanks to 505 games for bringing this stellar AAA title to mac! Please bring more like it..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Very well made gameIf you would have told me 5 years ago that and iPhone and/or iPad would be able to run AAA games like this, I would have laughed and walked away. Here we are in 2024 with one of the best titles available for exactly those devices. I’m blown away at how smooth my M2 iPad pro 12.9 inch runs this game. I hear many complaints about the clarity of the game on both iPhone and iPad but lets get really people, this game is running on devices with nothing but passive cooling to keep your devices from vaporizing. Sacrifices must be made to achieve this goal and I must say Kojima Productions have done a beautiful job. I really hope this game starts the trend for more AAA releases on IOS and Mac OS. The one complaint I do have is with the virtual controller, I find it very hard to use so I use a PS4 controller instead, which I prefer anyway. That said, I’m really not sure how you can do the virtual controller better without making it harder to select the correct action you want. Keep up the great work and I look forward to future titles landing on IOS and Mac OS..Version: 1.1.2
✓ M1 Max Approves ! IncredibleVery excited for this release, and not disappointed. Put the game display settings on high straight away, Mac Studio M1 Max runs this game very very well even with various other apps & software running in the background. Game: brilliant, little slow to start. But stick with it. Story is original & captivating. Even found myself searching out the bands on the soundtrack ! Music is great. Very much worth playing. Can’t wait for Death Stranding 2 ! Please bring it to the App Store sooner. Game is a actually 4 years old to PS players. Would hate to wait that long for next instalment..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Good jobSmooth gameplay, stunning graphics, and seamless performance make this Mac OS game a delight. A must-play for Mac gamers!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ StuckI ilke the game but i have problem sometimes the game freeze and i have to force out(command option esc) of the game and usually if i go back it will freeze at the same place. i have to re-start the game completely and even then it freeze somwhere else.Version: 1.1.0
✓ InstabuyI already have this on my PS, but I wanted to support Mac gaming. Firstly, to support such a game coming to the Mac. Thank you. Secondly to check out the performance. On my base M1, I’m quite impressed. 1080p with reasonable settings. Not quite 60fps, which I never expected. But I am impressed. Next, to see how it performs on the iPhone 15 Pro. What a time to be alive. Bring on TLOU 1&2 next 😁.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Needs a few more updatesSeveral times, the game has just crashed at the end of a very long cutscene, and you either gotta sit through it again, or skip skip skip your way through..Version: 1.1.1
✓ A near perfect portFor what it is at face value, this is an amazing port to make, as I played since release on PC and this is a lot better of a launch of the game. And I’m looking forward to playing through the game again! What I wish to be fixed/added is just a way to turn off the upscaler/ turn down the resolution, as I play on the go a raw 720p output at a capped 30/60 would be amazing for battery life. Asides from that, I hope this port inspires other studios to port/update their games to utilize the hopeful market of true mobile gaming..Version: 1.1.2
✓ The game doesn't lunchSometimes when I click to launch the game, it doesn't open, qnd I hqd to force quit it and restart my m2 mac.Version: 1.1.0
✓ MacBook Air M2 256gbOMG! This is absolutely amazing! WHAT A GAME! I have literally been playing this on my MacBook! How it can handle this calibre of game while running on a battery is sheer magic to me. The game itself is a cinematic masterpiece, so good, it could be a feature length movie. Hideo Kojima has developed another classic. Its engaging, engrossing and curious from the minute you start. Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen are amazing and it keeps you playing, as you desperately try to see what happens next. Graphically one of the best titles I have seen on an Apple device, the music, sound effects and atmosphere is second to none. Get a controller for a full quality experience. I honestly cannot recommend this title enough, the devs have accomplished something special in this port. 75gb is absolutely massive, I have invested in the Samsung T7 external SSD and it plays from that seemlessly. Its a steal for £19.99 - Buy it now, do not hesitate..Version: 1.1.0
✓ I can’t believe I get to play Death Stranding on an iPad!!Absolutely beautiful game! Gorgeous graphics, immersive story, and paired with a controller the game is excellent! Big shout out and thank you to the developers for this great achievement in bringing such an amazing game to our devices!.Version: 1.1.2
✓ FantasticWould be great if there were graphical settings or at least presets to switch off blur. At least on iPad M2s. Otherwise it’s amazing.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Please add more better optimisationKojima it’s taste good , m2 powerful more than ps4 so ad more.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Saving Issues??There’s a Save Bug that could literally be game-breaking. The mission going to Port Knot from the Waystation on the first map, the game would not save. It’s stuck on autosaving. You can’t quit the game either. Left it at 5 stars because the fact that a full game like this runs on a phone with stable framerate.Version: 1.1.2
✓ What a time to be alive to have games like this on your phoneI would like to say the graphics are top-notch fantastic. If you will still surprise you can do this on the phone these days the controls are great it’s only been two hours and I’m really enjoying it. This is the soul reason I returned my iPhone 15 Pro and went for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which is the first max I’ve ever owned, my very first iPhone was a 6S then from the six I went to the A+ from the iPhone 8 Plus. I went to the iPhone 11 to 12 to the 12th to the 13th to 15 and then a 15 pro and the 15 Pro max just for this reason it takes a little battery but nothing too bad if you sit there and play for eight hours probably gonna change everything but a couple hours here and there it’s perfect great job and can’t be depressed at 20 bucks which president evil four should have been as well, but that’s for another review.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Is it Running? - Fixed!Updating my review. The day after I posted a review of the game simply not running after launch ( I wasn't the only one with this complaint by a long shot ) It started working just fine. Since then I've been able to carve out some time to play and I have to say this is a beautifully designed game. It's a pleasure to play and to be honest I love that I am playing a game of this calibur on my MacBook Air. Thank you!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Amazing really funDeath Stranding is a amazing game with Norman Reedus😱!!!!!!! To be honest its really well optimised and runs quite well on silicon macbooks or any other slicon device. I'm suprised it doesn't drain the battery life as much as it dose. Verry fun highly recomend!!!!!!!!!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ UnbelievablePlaying on IPad Pro M1. Played for 2 hours. Although graphics is not PS5 quality, I’m stunned at the quality. Stunned at facial animation, sound quality. Walking through the terrain seems to be a stable 30 fps. I don’t think I could ask for more on iPad Pro M1. Hoping the upcoming IPad can handle even more amazing graphics. Thanks for releasing this, means a lot to me..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Stunning GraphicsThe game runs smoothly with maxed out settings on a Macbook pro 2021 with M1 pro. Also has support for a whide range of controllers. Great port!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Game freezing but an amazing port of one of kojimas best games (in my opinion)Still amazes me to this day that we are getting AAA games that run well on iOS! Been playing the game from the start again (Most of my game progress was on steam before) the only issue i am having it the game seems to freeze at the first shower scene. I have tried uninstalling the game, restarting my iPad. But nothing seems to work. Mouse and keyboard would be amazing to have on a game like this (especially on iPad) but it seems like it isn’t fully added as sometimes the iOS cursor appears and makes it so the mouse wont move in game, sometimes restarting the game works but in other cases no. RuneScape classic managed this so it can be done. I love that the dualsense controller works so well! If I wasn’t paying attention to the fact I’m on my iPad id think its a portable ps5! For me this game is amazing in its own weird delivery man way, an update to address frame issues, freezing and mouse and keyboard support fully implemented..Version: 1.1.2
✓ A fantastic game, runs great! (M3 Max 64Gb)This game runs amazing on my system. I have sunk many hours in this game on PC when it was released but to have it on my Mac and for it to have such great performance, all running native to the system is great on the go. Thank you for this port! ✨ I would love if DS2 can run natively on mac in the future too! 😏 Note: For those who said they couldn't launch it, I had a similar issue, all I did was go to System Preferences -> Game Center and I signed into my Apple ID 😄.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Needs a Apple Arcade Game Store TreatmentThis game truly shows what Apple Silicon is capable of! It's a technical marvel to see it run on everything including an iPhone. But where Apple has let us down is presenting it on the weekest digital market place avaiable, which employs no supportive features for gaming what so ever. It's time to break Apple Arcade off as a stand alone app, give it it's own store and make it a true gaming platfrom akin to Valve's Steam game store with features gamers need to manage our games and connect with other players. I bought this game simply to show that there is bourgeoning interest in gaming on the Mac, but until Apple is able to create a gaming platform and store seperate of the abismal Mac Store I'd rather continue buying my games on Steam. I'm sincerely hoping that these relationships with AAA developers is also driving a new game platform in the background and that we'll see something this year at WWDC. That will be when Apple has truely turned a corner. Great work on this game! The future is bright!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ New Platform, Same Great GameThe original game was amazing running on my Steam Deck, but now that its on iOS portability is beyond compare. The virtual controls work seamlessly and you can tell that they actually put thought into it. The only two things that would make it 5/5 is that: it has a bug on ios where after a while of no use (and having manually saved) it appears as if there wasn't any save data but when I fully close and reopen the app it shows the continue button, and any type of graphics control on ios would be extremely welcome.Version: 1.1.0
✓ ImpressiveThis is an impressive work of art.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Proves you can game on a Mac!This game runs amazing on my M3 Max MBP. I have been playing for a few hours now and really enjoy the game (first time player). The graphics and actors in the game make me wan to play till the end. Good storyline so far. Also putting an impressive game like this on mac and with how well it runs proves that Apple products can handle gaming..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Fantastic Port of a Great GameI owned this on PS4 and didn't end up finishing it, couldn't justify the price of the PS5 Directors Cut version but purchased the macOS version on launch day for my MacBook Pro M1. I have to say, this port is excellent and the game plays incredibly well on some of the highest graphics settings! One of the best macOS games available, and some of the best optimisation for Metal that I have seen! - If I had to critique it I would say that in certain instances some textures don't fully load when they should so they end up looking pixelated and low res. Hope to see this fixed in a patch!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Incredible game comes to MacI've been enjoying this game since its release on other platforms and was very much looking forward to the mac release. I hope this is the first of many ventures into AAA games being released on this platform. Running on an M3, the game looks great, and I hope they stick with it, continue to provide updates, and improve the performance. Truly, a unique and incredible experience. Very much looking forward to DS2.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Well done KojiPro 505, brilliant & seamlessI played the original game on ps4 in 2020, so I already know how stunning this game is and a unique experience. Wanted to have a re-run after the announcement of DS2 but I waited for DS Director's Cut on Mac. Honestly blown away by how well it's running on my Macbook Pro M2 (base model). I keep all other apps closed and it runs on very high quality graphics. Have also tried twitch streaming simultaneously for my friend to watch the game and yet my base model is handling it without issues. Shows how well optimized it is and how capable Apple's new silicon chips are (without being the maxed out models). So glad KojiPro and Apple along with 505 Games have managed this as it sets a precedent for more games to make it to Apple OS. Can't wait for DS2!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ We need haptic feedback not only adaptive triggersWE NEED HAPTIC FEEDBACK WHILE USING CONTROLLER NOT ONLY ADEPTIVE TRIGGERS.Version: 1.1.3
✓ WE NEED MORE GAMES LIKE THISIt's a great game and also a great port! Runs really well on my M1 Pro 16 inch under default settings. This is a great step forward to finally be able to game on Mac. I love the Mac and everthing I do is on Mac. I hope Apple and other game developer can bring more titles to Mac!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ 5 stars just for bringing it to iOS!Haven’t played it yet in all honesty but I bought regardless even though I I never played it just because personally I want to support premium games as much as possible on iOS and the fact that this was bought to Apple iOS is amazing. From what I’ve seen and the reviews it plays fantastic, I use the m2 iPad Pro 1tb 16gb ram and res evil village and res evil 4 run great so don’t expect issues with this one which has been even more optimised. Edit: so naturally the game runs fantastic, but one thing I really hope they do is enable graphic settings for the iPad Pro because the settings are set to low and it scan definitely go higher on the m2 pro especially on the 16gb models as it looks ok but the low resolution and motion blur need adjusting but there are no options for this so for that I am removing a star, otherwise it be 5 stars. Edit: after playing I changed it to 5 stars, firstly because even the ps5 version doesn’t have graphic controls and secondly because it plays fantastic. Solid frame rate, zero dips, and is the full death stranding experience so anyone on the fence? Just buy, you won’t go wrong!.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Wow, great game!There are some issues, but overall a great game. Pretty happy that seems like I can play it on the go with my iPhone Pro 15. And also enjoy this game on my Mac. Few issues: 1. Not very obvious that my mac did not have enabled Game Center, and game did not launch after installation. 2. Download experience was terrible. I was trying to download it on day 1. 3. I have multiple Macs (Mac Pro / MBP / MBA), seems like the settings between devices are syncronized as well, so graphic settings on one device don't apply on another. 4. On iOS/iPadOS you cannot pre-donwload all the resources, so you can actually take this game offline on a long flight..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Mixed emotionsI am beyond happy this game is available now on iOS. The music and beauty of this game shine through, especially on a mobile platform. A few complaints which honestly do not detract from this game. First, the virtual control system is a bit cumbersome and hard at times to do multiple things (RT+LT+walking). It is a bit touchy when trying to map out routes as well. This could probably be fixed with an external controller. Next, my phone gets remarkably hot running this thing for longer that 10-15 minutes at a time. It also has some tendency to freeze mid cut scene or action and waits for the system to catch up. Also I’ve had a few crashes..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Runs greatRuns great on M2 Mac Mini. Just make sure you have Game Center logged in before you try and play. Hopefully we get some more Kojima games on Mac.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Runs well on M1 Macbook AirAfter having the initial issue of the game not starting, I was able to fix the gamecenter issue with a simple internet search. For the game itself, it runs and looks great on my M1 Macbook air, and using a Xbox controller is perfect. Oh, and game center achievements are nice too. Hoping to see more AAA titles come to Mac this way..Version: 1.1.0
✓ OutstandingPlaying on an iPad Air M1. Performance is pretty much a locked 30 during gameplay, visuals are great for an IPad, just don’t expect PS5 visual quality. Truly outstanding port, with Devs that fixed crashing issues within a day or two. Just buy it if on a compatible device!.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Amazing on 15 ProI’ve been playing this on an iPhone 15 Pro without any problems. The game hasn’t crashed once (as others have complained) and it looks incredible. It’s a great game to have on mobile - I just do a delivery or two when I have some free time and find it very satisfying. Great job to Kojima and team!.Version: 1.1.2
✓ ENABLE GAME CENTER ON MAC!!!Could not get the game to launch at all today, finally found a post on Reddit that said the missing component was enabling Game Center in system settings on Mac. After doing so, the game runs magnificently! Really quite blown away by how well this game can run on an M2 MacBook Air with no internal fans to cool anything down. I'm sure it works better on more advanced MacBook models, but the sheer fact that it plays and looks comparable to PS4 is a huge achievement. Way to go 505 Games! You have set the precedent! Hoping for more high-end AAA games to continue coming to Mac!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Great gameThis game looks and plays great in my opinion. Its great to see games like this on my iphone. I hope there is far more coming in the future other than what the four games they announced. We need no mans sky, fallouts, skyrim etc which should all run great on this phone..Version: 1.1.2
✓ An Absolute MasterpiecePlayed this first on the PC and purchased again for the Mac to show support for the developers. Death Stranding is stunning in everyway, graphics, sound track and story. Everything just works. It runs flawless on my M1 Max 16" and watching / playing the opening prologue again just gives me goosebumps. Has to be one of the best intro's I have seen to a game. Well done team for bringing this to the Mac it's very much appreciated and hopefully we will Death Stranding 2 when it's released..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Amazing, but limitedIt is incredible to be able to play this as such a high-fidelity experience on a mobile device. With a controller it really shines, and there really have not been many sacrifices made in and of getting it playable. One thing I would love to see is the addition of MetalFX spatiotemporal upscaling. It would likely result in far more stable performance..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Weirdly addictive gameFirst of all, ignore the reviews that are knocking the game for the problems with downloading via the App Store and not talking about the game itself. The game is outstanding! I'm running at 4K 60 fps on my M1 Max base model Mac Studio. It is gorgeous to look at and the Sony Decima engine is breathtaking. I thought I wouldn't enjoy this game because at its essence you are a porter running around delivering various things. However, was I wrong! There is something addictive and calming about guiding Norman Reedus around this world making deliveries. I never thought I'd enjoy this game as much as I do because I typically only play FPS like Call of Duty. Give this game a try if you're looking for somethign different..Version: 1.1.0
✓ This is amazing!I have this running on both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro with the M2. I am blown away by how good this port actually is. It gets a little choppy at times, but overall the hardware handles this game amazingly well! The wait was worth it, and I have a feeling Kojima will release more of his best titles into the Apple ecosystem with the way this is going so far! To Hideo Kojima and 505 Games, thank you for bringing this to us! You are proving that Mac has the ability to be a gaming powerhouse..Version: 1.1.1
✓ AmazingJust amazing absolutely blown away.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Runs perfectly on M1 Macbook proNot a single issue with game performance. Runs beautifully!.Great port! A fabulous game that rewards patience, forethought and cooperation. The game inevitably receives mixed reviews. But understand in advance the nature of the game you're buying and be willing to submit yourself to it's ethos and it will reward! Folks looking for a frenetic killfest of a game should look elsewhere. But that really should be abundently clear after 5 years since its original release. Plenty has been written about the game by now and there's an abundence of video content available online to give an insiught before buying. Check those out rather than buying, being disappointed and leaving a bad review. I mean, you don't buy a high-performance bicycle and then write a bad review about how it's not quite the motorcycle you hoped for.....do you?.Version: 1.1.0
✓ A deep and bizarre contemplative experienceCalling this the director's cut is appropo because there are A LOT of cut scenes with so much acting. No doubt the many a-list actors enjoyed this project. If you're a really impatient gamer who just wants to go already, you can still skip. But you'd miss a ton of story and atmosphere. In fact the cutscenes are so numerous and long that it's hard to find a place to stop and save! Acting and story seems to be at least as important as playing. The play consists, at least in the beginning, of looong, huffing runs in desloate landscapes in between managing your porter's techy pack. You have to think often and deeply about how best to manage different kinds of cargo in challenging landscapes. At least there are weird surprises and the concept is a new level of twisty body/supernatural horror that only the Japanese can bring to life. Highly recommended (though likely for a more contemplative gamer). Couple hoops to take care of: - Apparently must have much more than 80Gb of dsik space to play on MacOS (some reviewer claimed double is required to get it running). Not sure about iPadOS/iOS. - Gamer Center (which is tied to an Apple ID) must be active for app to launch..Version: 1.1.0
✓ I finally have my hands on this game.I've always been a huge Kojima fan but I havent played much games lately as I'm always on the go due to college. Seeing as the complete edition is on Macbook and it runs like AAA game should is mind blowing! This is def the full experience, no corners are cut! Thank you to the people that made this happen, simply amazing..Version: 1.1.0
✓ MacBook Air M2 256gbOMG! I can’t believe it! Another top title! Graphically beyond anything I have played on the Mac, it’s got atmosphere, it’s got strong story, quality actors, dark music and sound effect. It is well and truly my very favourite title on MacOS right now. £19.99 - there is literally no excuse!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Apple's Best Game YetHands down, the best game on the Apple platform. Awesome graphics, well thought out controls and storyline. I'm not big into storyline games, but this hits it out of the park. Very lifelike gameplay as you make your way through the game, and twists and turns in the story make it very interesting. From someone who switched from PC to Mac, I'm glad I can acutally play something that doesn't require running a VM or web app..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Beautiful gameI find the controls extremely difficult to maneuver around with and it’s hard to tell what buttons to press when commanded on screen as the symbols for them are tiny.. The virtual controls are at the moment holding me back from enjoying the game...Version: 1.1.2
✓ Incredible but promax strugglesIncredible game, great experience on iPhone but it overheats, freezes and shuts down a lot on 15 promax. I’ve lost a ton of miles so I’m making a point to save as often as I remember. I’m hoping this can be fixed but it’s an incredible show of force for the entry level into aaa phone gaming! I only played 10-15 hours of this game when it came out originally and I’m excited to chip away at it in a mobile format!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Excellent implementation - needs game center warningI got tripped up by the requirement for a Game Center signon and couldn't play the game initially. Once that was taken care of, I was able to pair up a PS5 controller to my mac and gameplay has been smooth for the last 10 hours, no glitches on a M1 Max at all and the performance has been outstanding. Great QA on this, hard to remember any port being this smooth at launch..Version: 1.1.0
✓ AAA gaming - great game, great portThis runs like butter on my 14" M3 Max. The atmosphere, music, environment is all gorgeous. This is a fantasic experience and kudos to the developer for makign this available on both Mac, iPad and iPhone. This is really the future of gaming and demonstrats what a great gaming platform the Mac can be. I hope to see many more games like this. Being able to start your game on the mac, then save and pickup right where you left off on your iPad or iPhone is fantastic. I hope this developer releases more games for the Mac like this. I also have access to a gaming PC and this is the first time I've chosen to play the mac port first and do not reregret the decision. Great game, great port..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Runs well, looks well, not truly a mobile experienceI love this game, I love that it's on my phone, but I am a touch disappointed that the developers didn't actually take time to implement a mobile control experience. It simply overlayed a virtual controller which makes nearly impossible to do basic things that are integral to the game. If you have a backbone it's cool or a PS5 controller but honestly I want ttipple a games to recreate the magic in a mobile setting without having to spend a hundred dollars more..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Beautiful cinematic experienceThis is a wonderful game by an amazing video game director, Hideo Kojima. The performance on my Mac is superb and it is truly a pleasure to be able to have such calibre of games available in the App Store..Version: 1.1.0
✓ A case for the mobile appRight out the door I’ll admit I don’t have a compatible device. Intro price was right, and the platform it’s being released on (iOS/macOS) is a feature. Hear me out. If you’re not playing on a Sony console, your only options aside from this new Apple App Store offering are PC platforms (Xbox PC, Steam, Epic). These PC versions are likely the most accessible editions, but I don’t think most consider that not all PCs are built equal. What this means practically is, if you’re playing on hardware that doesn’t quite make the quality control cut, some moments of the story could be ruined. There’s a cutscene with Mama just past Ch 4 that was somewhat ruined for me because my machine did not render her body— just her eyeballs, and floating objects she was apparently physically holding. Playing on a hardware platform that has limited hardware variables (such as any PS4, PS5, or Apple A17 or M1 equipped hardware) means key cutscenes like the one I described will more than likely be experienced as intended. The fact you get both the mobile iOS version and the macOS version in one purchase is very convenient. Love the idea of having this portable..Version: 1.1.2
✓ WowIngore all the reviews and the sub 30 fps dips and just remember your playing on an iPhone... My steam deck is getting played less and less these days..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Need graphics settings on iPadProIt looks blurry on my iPad Pro 12.9 inch M2 model. The machine is not hot either. Please give us the option to get a higher resolution and graphics!.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Amazing5 stars.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Incredible Presonality and StroytellingDeath Stranding Director's Cut has cinematic visuals, intriguing gameplay, and brilliant cast performances. The beginning wraps you in mysteries and brilliantly presents challenges, allowing for open-ended solutions. The story evokes emotion and keeps you guessing what might happen. I felt connected to the character and their journey, making me want to play in a way that helped them. While not for everyone, I truly recommend this game to everyone I can, especially now that it's available on more platforms than ever..Version: 1.1.0
✓ AMAZINGAMAZING PORT , BEEN PLAYING IT ON MY MAC AND IPHONE TO IPAD. WELL DONE. AND FUN AS HELL.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Smooth gameplayI am playing this game the second time as I am a big fan. I have a slightly better than base model M1 Mac and it runs 60-120 fps easily on max settings. 3-4 hours in the game and had 0 issues so far. It swaps a lot of memory tho and the the Mac gets very hot but other than that no complaints. Good job on this one!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Promising PerformanceIts really weird to see one of my all time favourite games now runs on a smartphone. Never thought I would even imagine apple of all people to make it possible. The performance is decent enough for most part, there are some lags and stutters as well and extremely overheating conditions for phone don’t really make it a smooth experience. There no graphics settings to play around with i hope it should be included in future patches along with full support for all Haptics with Dualsense controller. This new era of mobile gaming is very promising and im looking forward to the future updates..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Runs beautifully on my M1 Max!Really stunning visuals. I don’t typically spend much time playing games like this, but I can see myself getting into them more if they keep coming on the Mac platform, in fact the quality of this game has me considering a couple of other recent releases..Version: 1.1.2
✓ 📷在这部游戏中，我准备做一个游戏摄影师，进去拍照。.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Crashes too muchOn iPhone 15 Pro Max which does not seem powerful enough. But great to see this running at all.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Great game but not on iPhoneThe A17 chip on the iPhone 15 Pro is very powerful but not enough to comfortably play Death Stranding. This game runs in less than HD and can barely keep 30 FPS. Once major effects pop up the game slows down and lags to single digit frames. I’m sure after a couple of years a new more capable iPhone will be released but by then we don’t know if this game will be updated to take advantage of them. Hopefully it will but as it stands today I recommend you play this elsewhere..Version: 1.1.2
✓ The future is hereTo port such a huge and beautiful game to an iPhone is so incredible that it borders on witchcraft. It looks stunning and I can’t wait to delve in further..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Exceptional PortIt runs like a dream, well optimized port that runs and plays wonderfully. For those struggling with install size. it's nothing new that you need usually 2x free space as game requires cause it has to have buffer to assemble the downloaded bits intil ful app. This is nothing to do with developer and apples install process. game doesn't deserve bad reviews for that. Get more storage.Version: 1.1.0
✓ What a beautiful game…Not exactly my style of game, but i like to encourage non “in-app purchases” games (except i’ll buy DLC as well), so i bought this one just for that, seeing the beautiful graphics (no block or pixels game for me, thank you). It is a little too complexed for me, with lotsa command-controls to remember, despite the excellent GUI. And it is NOT just about fighting either, which is a darn nice change from other games. The movement controls can be a little finicky at times, but overall, short of one crash, the experience has been really good. Running on a iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (6th generation). Congrats 505 Games!.Version: 1.1.2
