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.
The iconic Social Strand System of DEATH STRANDING returns to encourage asynchronous connection across the globe. Your in-game actions affect how other players interact with the world and vice-versa – so connect, collaborate and help your fellow Porters on their journeys.
Leave a “Like” on a useful bridge, donate resources to community projects, store field ware in shared lockers and finish incomplete deliveries as you stumble upon dropped cargo from other Porters. As you support other players on their journeys, your own reputation will grow, giving you access to valuable resources and new gear.

Better in almost every way except for the story. I think this story wasn't written by kojimbo guys, prolly his weakest work when it comes to narrative.

A jornada trilhada constroi a vida. Não apenas ao que buscamos, mas a tudo que nos cerca, independente do caminho percorrido.
By the way, I get the feeling there may be a long cutscene in the near future.
솔직히 데스스1의 초거대 확장판 느낌이 강했습니다. 하지만 그걸 고려한다 해도 재미는 확실히 있었음. 20퍼 할인가로 구매했는데 후회없네요. 1에서 불편하다 느꼈던 걸 어떻게든 편의성을 집어넣어 없애려는 게 보였고, 갠적으론 BT를 싫어하고 대인전을 좋아헀는데, 고스트메카전 덕분에 오히려 더 재밌게 한 거 같습니다. 불만이 있다면 집 앞에서 소환되는 [spoiler] 초대형꽃게보스 [/spoiler] 이놈 잡기 즉사 패턴 좀 완화해 잡기판정 너무 후해
送快递真上头
I platinumed the game (and I never platinum games, usually), which means I five star'ed the FORTY F-ING TWO preppers of this game, so I think it's clear enough that I thoroughly enjoyed this game. Just like the first game, I'll say that this is a game that will highly depend on your personal preferences, and if you categorize this amazing gaming experience as just a walking simulator, well this game probably isn't for you. But, honestly, I think DS2 is way more accessible than DS1, because if you want to focus on the main story, it's pretty short (very far from the 130 hours that it took me to 100% it). And I loved the story and highly recommend you to play the game if you like stories in video games (and already completed DS1). Also, this is basically DS1 with an improved and more furnished gameplay. I think even if you don't like the idea of going from places to places, you can play in ways that are so varied that should normally not get bored. Another thing that I liked is that Kojima was completely unhinged with this game. It has a lot more Japanese culture and humor, and a lot of wtf stuff, but for some reason, everything just... works perfectly. One of my favorite games from the last few years.
