Death Stranding 2: On the Beach

This is, not joking, one of the best gaming experiences I've had in the last 5 years, like the first game, the beginning had my attention engaged here and there with the story being intriguing and confusing, while being fully enthralled with the gameplay. Then you get like 4 hours in and can't stop playing, and the story goes from the most unhinged thing you can imagine to the most soul crushing moments that tear your heart out. The gameplay is even better than the last and with the added music player this easily makes the game one of my favorites of all time purely for being able to take in the scenery with amazing music. The game is truly a masterpiece worth playing as well as the first death stranding. Mr. Kojima I tip my hat to you sir, this game made me feel so much.

Going through the story was deeply meaningful, far beyond what I ever expected from a video game. Every moment pulled me in, making me feel connected to the characters and the world in a way I've never experienced before. Only few games has ever stirred my emotions like this what an unforgettable experience!

I understand those who don't like this game. You can love it or hate it, but you can't deny the uniqueness of it.

I have been playing it since day one and I can't put it down. There is always something new that makes you want to keep playing. A new ability, a new weapon, a new character or a cutscene that will leave you mesmerised. It will bring the story forward by answering questions but also giving you new mysteries that you want to find out immediately.

The world is huge, versatile and looks gorgeous. Probably the most incredible looking game when it comes to graphical fidelity.

The music is going to touch your soul, and I have been listening to some the songs even when not playing the game.

(Huge addition to the game that they added a playlist function where you can create playlists and listen to music any time while exploring the world)

I could go into so much more detail but I really don't want to waste your time. I don't know if you would like this one if you hated the first one. I liked the first one. I am in love with this one.

It's a masterpiece for those of us who are into this game. I hope you guys will enjoy it as much as I do. Real unique and unforgettable masterpiece that will stay with me for sure.

This has now become my favorite videogame of all time, dethroning the PS4/PS5 Spider-Man games. The story is so complicated to be unraveled in all its forms and yet so simple to understand. One of the most epic adventures in gaming history on the outside but a story of grief, sadness, love and sacrifice on the inside, moved by all these incredibly deep and powerful characters: Sam, Neil, Fragile, Tomorrow, and even supporting characters like Dollman, Tarman and Rainy have compelling and breathtaking backstories and development throughout the game. And in every single frame and line and scene you feel Hideo Kojima's genius and craziness which makes this game the best GOTY contender of 2025. Peak gaming experience🙌

Hideo Kojima has done it again. Death Stranding 2 is not just a sequel-it's a statement. A bold, introspective, and often hauntingly beautiful continuation of his vision. Kojima doesn't make games in the traditional sense; he crafts experiences that challenge the player emotionally, thematically, and philosophically. The love fans have for him stems from this very courage-to tell stories no one else dares, to push mechanics to their conceptual edge, and to trust that audiences will follow him into the unknown. DS2 expands on everything that made the original iconic: surreal landscapes, poignant solitude, and deeply human connections in an inhuman world. It's slow, strange, and utterly mesmerizing. Loving this game-and Kojima-is about embracing the weird, the profound, and the visionary in equal measure.
