DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH

MASTERPIECE 5/5

while superior to DS1 in terms of gameplay, and is a 9/10 game, it doesn't feel as special to me as DS1 DS1 is my favourite game of all time but this game doesn't crack my top 10, worth buying ASAP but only if it's 60$ or less, it's current price is insane

This was my most anticipated game when it was announced in the game awards in 2022. Death Stranding still to this day remains one of the gaming gems I have played with the perfect blend of heartfelt story and melancholic drama, thrilling and fearful encounters to relaxing journeys. I fell in love with it from the moment I set out to deliver my first cargo. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is just that feeling, but better. The world is larger, the people around are more vibrant, the terrain more challenging, yet enjoyable at the same time. The BT sections are toned down a bit from the original; where you had to tread every step carefully and hold breath on every corner, DS2 offers a wide variety of tools and abilities that make you fight the dead head-on instead of avoiding them in the previous game. The story is also really captivating; with big revelations and connections that Sam, our returning protagonist establishes and becomes a part of. Every character, like the previous game, has a personality on their own, and the crew you create is like a family you make for life. This game was on my wishlist when it was announced on PC, and I was hoping to get it later on sale in a year or two. But one of my most dearest friends unexpectedly surprised me by gifting me this game on day 1 only. I was and am still ever grateful to that person who gifted me such a great (and expensive) game so that I could enjoy playing it when it arrived. I am really thankful to you my brother for the gift <3 Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has made me make connections to people, inside the game and outside as well, and now have become a critical part of myself and I keep it in my heart for long days to come. [i]TLDR:[/i] The game builds upon what DS1 did, but now transportation, traversals and combat are more versatile and in some ways easier. One downside is they toned down the horror aspect quite a bit. the BT areas are easier now, less scary and you have a lot of tools and even a mid-late game feature which make dealing with them a plaything. won't spoil, but basically they made the game more accessible to the general audience.

Недостойна называться второй частью. Механически не несёт в себе кардинально ничего нового после первой. Это скорее длц, а не новая игра. p.s. бездарь ответственный за физику транспорта так ничего и не исправил после первой части

other than a handful of improvements, its just worse death stranding 1.

Loved the story, still got lost multiple times with the plot, but had one hell of a time, the game might not be for everyone, it's a slow burn type of game, didn't bother doing all the deliveries and still spent like 80h~ in the game. The game ran pretty good on both my older gpu (6800XT) around 75fps capped with room to spare at 1440p high settings with PICO on quality setting, and my current one 5070ti everything on high with PICO on Native AA capped at 75 too, so i dont bake with the summer heat + the gpu heat. The graphics are really good and the art direction *chef kiss*. I'd say you could jump in and play 2 since it has a recap of the events of 1 ingame, but you'd be making a mistake, the experience from the first game for me was way better, the BT encounters where more stressful, not everyone had guns, while this game just gives you guns almost from the start which makes combat a bit trivial. It's still worth grabbing with a discount if you are a fan, and if you are on the fence and you haven't played the first one maybe try that one since it gets way cheaper around major seasonal sales.

слышь кадзима нормальную игру сделал
