Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is an unforgettable adventure that I firmly believe sits as one of the greatest games ever created. With an emotional and thrilling narrative, a technically brilliant gameplay system that builds upon its predecessor, and a best-in-class soundtrack, Death Stranding 2 advances the industry forward and innovates. Hideo Kojima and the Kojima Productions team have created something truly remarkable that will be talked about for decades to come.

Death Stranding 2 is the encapsulation of Hideo Kojima's ambition to marry films and games into one seamless experience. For the first time, it's not him emulating the cinema he adores. Instead, it's Kojima directing a vast, emotionally charged epic that others will imitate in years to come. It is a masterpiece of storytelling and game design. A peerless exploration of grief, found family, and all that we leave behind.

DS2 is a masterpiece, i literally mean it this is more than a game it's Emotional journey
You take and immerse yourself in the mind blowing world And scenary of it ,the story is amazing and emotionally satisfying At the same time can break you The characters the gameplay and graphics and the world It's perfect.
And the addition of wildlife in the game was something But my favourite is the music score I cried whenever music started playing While walking and appreciating the great and impressive world

I’m really surprised to read some negative reviews of this game on here. Death Stranding 2 is engrossing, atmospheric and moving. It’s a work of genius, and needs to be played to the end (the ending is jaw dropping). And then there’s the soundtrack….

Technically flawless and visually stunning, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is an exceptional sequel and a clear evolution for a game that was already full of qualities. An even more engaging story with an improved narrative, as well as huge advances in its unique gameplay, are just some of the highlights of one of the best games of the year.

Hideo Kojima keeps on working and improving the original Death Stranding formula. This sequel its better, but not as surprising as the first one.

Death Stranding 2 is a bold, uncompromising sequel that doubles down on Hideo Kojima’s signature style. It’s strange, thoughtful, and beautifully crafted – a game that won’t be for everyone, but unforgettable for those it connects with.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach boldly expands the philosophical and post-apocalyptic universe created nearly six years ago by Hideo Kojima, enriching and diversifying the gameplay with dynamics, yet without managing to replicate the narrative strength, character charm, and emotional impact of the first, surprising chapter. Technically stunning and artistically inspired, this sequel manages to entertain and engage, but also leaves the impression that its narrative structure cannot always sustain the dozens of hours needed to complete the adventure without lapses in pacing and intensity.

Death Stranding 2 isn't a bad game. It's a beautiful game. But it disappoints precisely where the first one was astonishing: by levelling out the difficulty, rendering the journey anodyne, watering down what made the original game a tough, unforgettable experience. Here, Kojima seems to have given in to the temptation of comfort and past criticism, delivering a game that is more accessible but less meaningful. Far from extending his vision, On the Beach seems to mark his running out of steam.

A fair sequel. built on some good mechanics and took the story forward. Ultimately not ground breaking

Potencia gráfica increíble, el gameplay muy conseguido pero lamentablemente la historia un poco predecible y mas apagada que en la primera entrega

Maestro, did you have nothing to say? The plot is built around the cherishing of the main character, as if he were a confused schoolgirl in a scary and incomprehensible world. An exciting beginning, a sagging middle by inertia and an absolutely cringe-filled ending, fastened together by a plot of self-repetitions to previous works, idiot characters and.. Idiot players? Is it necessary to talk so head-on about everything that takes place in the plot and lead the player so much by the hand? An isolated adventure with time to "think the unsaid" turned into a routine. I quit 90% of the completion.

A game based on walking, with a lot of story and little gameplay, is a good game, but it's an uninteresting game.
