About
From legendary game creator Hideo Kojima comes an emotionally charged evolution of this genre-defying experience. In bringing this title to PC, KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS worked with Nixxes Software to deliver the definitive version of the critically acclaimed console release.
In the expansive open world of DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH, countless areas with vastly different terrains and environments are seamlessly connected, and the changing time, weather and nature itself provide a variety of landscapes and challenges.
There are various obstacles that will prevent Sam from completing his mission. Face them head-on, sneak around, or completely avoid dangerous areas. Choose your approach to any situation.
Eleven months after the events of the original DEATH STRANDING, rejoin Sam and his companions on a new journey to save humanity from extinction and discover the answer to this haunting question: Should we have connected?
Join Sam for the next chapter of his journey as he attempts to connect Australia to the Chiral Network. Navigate a living environment through day and night cycles, natural disasters – including earthquakes, sandstorms and forest fires – and Timefall, a rain that instantly ages everything it touches.
To traverse this dangerous landscape, you’ll need to build new types of infrastructure, master specialized equipment and confront (or evade) the otherworldly creatures that roam the fractured world.
Face enigmatic Mech soldiers, as-yet unseen BTs and new boss types that will push Sam to his limits. As you prepare for each journey, you’ll be able to fabricate weapons like machine guns, shotguns and grenade launchers to deal with threats. Or, choose to avoid confrontation altogether with stealth – using decoy holograms, silent takedowns and long-ranged gear.
Through APAS enhancements, Sam can learn new skills that will improve his odds of survival, like enhanced weapon fire-rates or reduced movement noise to help him stay hidden.

不如death stranding但是够玩了 1能9.6那么2能8.9吧
muito foda e ainda ganhei os parabens de aniversário kkkkkkk
Absolute Kojima.
Właśnie ukończyłem fabułę. Świetnie poprowadzona, kompletna i wzruszająca historia. Dobór ścieżki dźwiękowej idealny, tak jak w pierwszej części. Sama rozgrywka to więcej i lepiej tego co pokochałem. Dynamika wydarzeń poprowadzona świetnie. Początkowo powolna wędrówka, następnie przemierzanie najtrudniejszych terenów, a zakończenie niczym z dramatycznego filmu akcji z odrobiną absurdu. Nie zawiodłem się na żadnym etapie, to co mi nie pasowało w części pierwszej zostało tutaj poprawione. Moja ocena to 10/10. A teraz wracam do Australii i Meksyku, żeby wbić 100%
好玩，１代已白金，剩２代了。
Very addictive, very time consuming, generally pretty zen. Prioritize the story for the most part, because it unlocks so much that will make going back and doing the other optional stuff much easier in the end. Also brutal difficulty is not that hard. Just don't crash into any rocks if you have delicate cargo.

I picked up the original DS on the playstation when it came out, then was upset when the PC version came out and it was just the superior version of the game. This time around I waited for DS2 to come to PC and again I am pleased to say this is the best version of the game. Id say if you liked Death Stranding 1 you're going to like this one, its the same premise just greatly expanded upon. Pretty much every single system has added levels of depth to it and several new ones added on top of it. There is far more general combat in this one and Im personally okay with it because of how greatly expanded your options are for it. You can trick out a truck with some automated turrets and charge into the enemy lines guns blazing, or you can metal gear it and sneak in using various tools and take things out one at a time. The story is just as ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crazy as the first game except near the end of this one the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insanity gets turned up to 11 and I can see why that might be a turn off to some people but really its right up Kojima's alley, he keeps things grounded and then all of a sudden you're watching Kaiju's battle it out while you have a banjo duel with satan over the fate of ghost babies everywhere. Okay not really but when you get there youll understand the reference. Interesting setup teased for a Death Stranding 3 that im not upset over, it wasn't really a cliff hangar, much like DS1 didn't end with a cliff hangar, its just a narrative opening that could potentially be explored and honestly I hope Kojima does, I wasn't sure he could hit the same high notes as he did with DS1 being how out there of a game it was to begin with but DS2 reaches that same pinnacle and soars over it. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, I'd call it a Kojima work of art much like the metal gear series before it.. I think this one has the means of going just as far and being just as influential. Its definitely worth your time but if you haven't played DS1, I wouldn't say its NECESSARY to do so before this one but it would definitely help you appreciate what is going on more and the emotional weights involved for the various story beats. They do a good job of catching you up with some summaries but the first game is so good I'd say pick up this one and DS1 and play em in order and you got yourself about 100 hours worth of entertainment that you won't regret. I know I don't.
cried. 10/10. traversal was easier than ds1 but many more options and ways to complete orders music and ambience is beautifully crafted. story is just as gripping and engaging as the first game with a more refined focus on world goals and Sam's struggles within himself. taking a deep dive into his emotions with loss, love, and joy. wish i could erase from my mind and play again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND MUST PLAY
