We trust you’ve been enjoying traversing the immersive environments of Death Stranding 2 over the past week, as it’s time to assign your personal evaluation to Kojima Productions’ latest offering.
It goes without saying, this globe-trotting PS5 sequel has garnered substantial acclaim, from both critics and enthusiasts of the original title. The first Death Stranding was rather polarizing due to its unconventional gameplay — along with Kojima’s distinctive storytelling eccentricities — but we believe that most would concur on the game’s overall production quality.
Death Stranding 2 expands upon that aspect, showcasing some of the finest graphics and performance capture in contemporary gaming, while the developer has also enhanced the gameplay mechanics considerably.
“In what will be recognized as one of the pivotal titles of the PS5 era, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a remarkable feat of design, gameplay, narrative, and visuals,” is what we expressed in our enthusiastic Death Stranding 2 PS5 review.
“An extraordinary improvement over its predecessor, the sequel is a definitive masterpiece,” we concluded, granting the release an exceptionally rare 10/10.

Robert (or Rob for short) serves as an assistant editor at Push Square and has been an admirer of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the exhilarating realm of video games. He takes his fighting titles seriously, but RPGs are truly his passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he’s experienced them all. Perhaps a tad too much, some might argue.
