I'm not really sure what to say about this game. It may end up being a niche title that sells decently, or it may surprise everyone and turn out to be something amazing.

I think if anything the worst thing about Death Stranding is that if it ends up utter crap, it will still sell very well. 

It's not great when a game developer can basically go unchecked because the name on the box and the marketing campaign ensures a huge hit is on their hands either way. 

The same thing sort of happened to Days Gone, not saying that game is awful but even with a lot of criticism and Playstation having very high expectations for their exclusive titles, it still ended up selling amazingly ... and if anything the fact that it was received as mediocre oddly made people want to defend it more.

I don't think there's any universe where this game doesn't get amazing critical praise and sales across the board. Simply won't happen. I do think it's possible though that a large amount of people will be disappointed with the title when they pick it up, though even if that were to happen they'd probably get drowned out anyways.
