The Plot. The Ending.
Many things can be said about this game. Everything though, pales in comparison with the plot, and the ending especially. Many dozens of hours of two consecutive games, culminate in the most glorious, heartfelt and tear-jerking way imaginable. I have seen so many films, watched so many series, read so many books... And I could not see it coming. In one of the most creative universes and lore ever conceived, with exceptionally dark and sad themes, the plot of this game went above and beyond. It pushed past the tremendous achievements of the first game, and completed the journey in a manner so exceptional that I am nearly at loss for words of how magnificent it is. Though throughout he game, the epic and outlandish story elements shine, in the end, it is the very human touch that prevails. What this game managed to do in its last 15 minutes, I will carry with me for many years to come. 10/10.
We Love Hideo Kojima
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.
Beyond Boundaries: A Bold Evolution
Death Stranding 2 is not just a sequel - it's an evolution. Kojima once again pushes the boundaries of storytelling, world-building, and emotional depth in gaming. This is a cinematic, meditative, and deeply human experience that challenges the norm and rewards those who embrace the unconventional.
Visually stunning and sonically captivating, every frame is crafted with intention. The performances are powerful, the narrative is layered, and the gameplay blends innovation with purpose. It's a rare title that makes you reflect not only on the world within the game but on the one outside of it as well.
Kojima doesn't play it safe - he creates something daring, emotional, and unforgettable. Death Stranding 2 is a monumental achievement in interactive storytelling.
A visionary journey - unlike anything else.

What an unbelievable masterpiece by Hideo Kojima and Kojima Productions.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach delivers on all levels. This is easily one of the best games I have ever played and probably contender for one of the best games ever created. Are you meant to know exactly what's going on? No. It's confusing, surreal, mesmerising and so damn outrageously beautiful that it doesn't even matter.
For anyone contemplating DS2 contemplate no more. Everything has improved since DS1. The combat is more fluid, Reedus continues his masterful performance as Sam Bridges and the graphics are truly spectacular.
What an incredible game.

Easy to dislike, easy to LOVE...
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.

Did you know
- TriviaThis game was indirectly announced in September 2022, when Hideo Kojima shared a teaser poster showing only the silhouette of a woman, with a text in the middle saying "WHO AM I?". Many have instantly identified Elle Fanning as the woman. Another poster that was published the following month, this time revealing her face, confirmed that she was involved in Kojima's next project. Many similar posters were published over the next weeks, and despite the vague information, fans speculated that a Death Stranding (2019) sequel was in development. It wasn't until December, during The Game Awards 2022, that this game was officially revealed.
