DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH

Juegazo, vale la pena cada segundo del juego

I just finished Death Stranding 2 and... what the hell did i just play. It left me with more question than it answered, and it kept me wondering where the story would go. Let's brush this off first : I loved Death Stranding 1. I've been introduced to Hideo Kojima's work with Metal Gear Solid and wow what a franchise ; So naturally when i learnt that the creator of Big Boss was now riding solo the video game industry, i went for it. And it did not disappoint. Death Stranding 1 is a game about connection, friendship, fatherhood, but also loss, grief, and all the different kind of emotions you could go through in harsh situations. It is after all set in an apocalyptic world, where the end is near, and you have to keep it from being destroyed wether it be by malevolent forces or time itself. Regarding Death Stranding 2, I'm not sure what story it's trying to tell... On one hand you could think it's also about fatherhood and grief as the first few chapters unfold, but it's brushed off so effortlessly by all the characters including the main one that i can't believe it's its main focus. You could think it's about truth, lies and manipulation as you progress through the end game, but the resolve is so anticlimatic, you're bound to be disappointed. What are you trying to say Kojima ? That no one is to be trusted ? So why do we follow them ? How are we punished in believing liars ? What do they get in return except a cool cinematic ? The way the game is trying to communicate is so foggy and confusing, i wouldn't blame you if you were to think there is no story. Although i'd argue there is one, just poorly executed. In the end I don't think i could recommend this game to anyone, especially not if you've liked the first one. Don't get me wrong, i still had fun playing and i might keep playing after the story is over, but i can't recommend it. I hope Whitelight will make a 14 hours-long video to explain the story so i can be a little less lost

A piece of art!

Such an awesome game. Finishing it leaves you lost, like finishing an awesome novel or TV Series.

Estou deveras desnorteado com o jogo, a trama em si, moldada desde o primeiro em conjunto com trilha sonora e gameplay absurda tornou isso uma obra contemporânea absurdamente boa. Estou em choque, sobrou nada pro betinha valeu valeu tmj

los que te dicen que es la mejor obra maestra...esos lo jugaron fumandose 48 porros al mismo tiempo. death stranding 2 es como estar en la escena de matrix donde neo habla con el arquitecto, pero de repente aparece michael jackson bailando en tanga... el gameplay esta mejor al menos.

Does everything the first game does but better
