Death Stranding 2: On the Beach

Less than half way through the game it was already a masterpiece but after completing the game it is beyond perfection! I had come a long way from giving up 3 times the first Death Stranding & getting convinced on my 4th run to keep going it "gets better", oh were they correct. Playing both games back to back was an amazing experience seeing what change & what got better. Almost everything got better or upgrade by ALOT! Last time I felt like I played perfection was Elden Ring & before that Resident Evil Village. I fell in love with Elden Ring that I ended up getting platinum because I just couldn't get enough of the feeling it gave me. Now I finished Death Stranding 2 this morning and will continue my journey to platinum. Can only imaging what's next for Hideo to make...

Death Stranding 2 is not just a sequel - it's an evolution. Kojima once again pushes the boundaries of storytelling, world-building, and emotional depth in gaming. This is a cinematic, meditative, and deeply human experience that challenges the norm and rewards those who embrace the unconventional.

Visually stunning and sonically captivating, every frame is crafted with intention. The performances are powerful, the narrative is layered, and the gameplay blends innovation with purpose. It's a rare title that makes you reflect not only on the world within the game but on the one outside of it as well.

Kojima doesn't play it safe - he creates something daring, emotional, and unforgettable. Death Stranding 2 is a monumental achievement in interactive storytelling.

A visionary journey - unlike anything else.

Hideo Kojima has done it again. Death Stranding 2 is not just a sequel-it's a statement. A bold, introspective, and often hauntingly beautiful continuation of his vision. Kojima doesn't make games in the traditional sense; he crafts experiences that challenge the player emotionally, thematically, and philosophically. The love fans have for him stems from this very courage-to tell stories no one else dares, to push mechanics to their conceptual edge, and to trust that audiences will follow him into the unknown. DS2 expands on everything that made the original iconic: surreal landscapes, poignant solitude, and deeply human connections in an inhuman world. It's slow, strange, and utterly mesmerizing. Loving this game-and Kojima-is about embracing the weird, the profound, and the visionary in equal measure.

Many things can be said about this game. Everything though, pales in comparison with the plot, and the ending especially. Many dozens of hours of two consecutive games, culminate in the most glorious, heartfelt and tear-jerking way imaginable. I have seen so many films, watched so many series, read so many books... And I could not see it coming. In one of the most creative universes and lore ever conceived, with exceptionally dark and sad themes, the plot of this game went above and beyond. It pushed past the tremendous achievements of the first game, and completed the journey in a manner so exceptional that I am nearly at loss for words of how magnificent it is. Though throughout he game, the epic and outlandish story elements shine, in the end, it is the very human touch that prevails. What this game managed to do in its last 15 minutes, I will carry with me for many years to come. 10/10.

Going through the story was deeply meaningful, far beyond what I ever expected from a video game. Every moment pulled me in, making me feel connected to the characters and the world in a way I've never experienced before. Only few games has ever stirred my emotions like this what an unforgettable experience!
