Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a third-person action-adventure game set in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by otherworldly creatures. Players control Sam Porter Bridges, a retired porter, as he traverses the open worlds of Mexico and Australia to connect isolated survivors to a wireless communication network called the Chiral Network. The core gameplay revolves around delivering packages across hazardous terrain, managing cargo weight, building infrastructure like roads and monorails, and navigating natural disasters. Combat has a greater focus than its predecessor, offering lethal and non-lethal options alongside stealth approaches. The game features asynchronous online elements where players can build structures visible to others. Read less

I had some good initial momentum on this on launch day since the story was interesting, but like the first game I'm not necessarily dying to get back and play more of it so have not touched it yet since then. I'm definitely in like a major main portion of the storyline after all the setup, so kinda interested to see how much it will hold my attention once I pick it back up (probably tomorrow).

So I just saw a video of Mamoru Oshii in Death Stranding 2 and now I kind of need to play Death Stranding 2. It’s silly and stupid, and I don’t know how it could possibly fit the context of the game, but I loved it.

Still yet to finish the first game but wow the visuals and art direction in the 20 minute preview look gorgeous. Always found it hard to follow Kojimas stuff, but that's what I like about it! Looks really bizarre and beautifully crafted. Also a sucker for Norman Reedus!

I have to wonder if at this point, Kojima smells his own farts and thinks "this a masterpiece, I should make a game/movie hybrid for it"
