60 of 130 · most liked firstNormal games: save the world. This game: carefully place ladders so strangers on the internet can save 12 seconds. The sequel somehow made walking even more stressful and relaxing at the same time. I don't understand it. I don't question it. I keep delivering.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Death Stranding 2 is such a change in direction from the previous game.
unlabelledView post →Sam's back and he's delivering packages again. More strand. More weird stuff. More Kojima being Kojima. Absolutely nobody else could make this and that's exactly why it's great.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game dude I actually love Hideo Kojima because for once he didn’t make us wait 7–10 business years for a PC port, somehow this came out way faster than expected and that alone already feels like a win Starting with performance, this port by Nixxes Software is smooth like butter, I played around 140 hours and the game crashed only twice which is basically the game politely telling me to go touch grass, only small FPS drops when connecting a new facility with the QPID, overall it runs clean…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game. Really, really love this game. Optimization? AMAZING. Graphics? Best graphics I've ever seen in a video-game. Story? Peak cinema (adventure, drama, action, every single genre). Soundtrack? Every single music is marvelous. Audio? Audio design is top notch Combat? Compared to the first one, it it balanced and rewarding. Extra: I'm running it on Linux. It runs PERFECTLY at max settings with minor tweaks needed. Can't recommend enough, it is something you must experience for…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm giving this game a positive review, but want to stress that I still think the first game is better. Death Stranding 2 is laughably easy in comparison to Death Stranding 1. Everything from traversal to combat is a cake walk. I didn't die a single time and I was doing stupid routes and being reckless. The first game there were times where I felt genuinely hopeless and isolated, and that vibe combined with the music was very atmospheric. Speaking of the music, all the orders are so easy in…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Death Stranding 2 hit me harder than any Kojima game since MGS3. I think it's one of the most human games he's ever made, wildly goody, introspective, and the only direction it made sense to go in following COVID lock downs.

unlabelledView post →It is MINDBLOWING how well optimized this game is. Even when I don't have a truly high-end PC, it runs AMAZIGNLY in Ultra 1080p. Still can't believe how beautiful it looks and runs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not going to talk about how good the game looks or if the mechanics make sense or plays well, you can find that out on a youtube video. I'm recommending this game because it taught me patience. It taught me the value of forming bonds with people, to be accepting of other people's flaws. To love, not just others, but to love myself. To be kind and welcoming to those who cross your path. To protect the things you hold dear. DS2 isn't the most exciting experience for a culture that values…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One day, you play a game so good that it defies your simple expressive abilities, leaving you wondering how you can, because you want to so badly, communicate such greatness to other people. How can you describe so many emotions, characters, and their phenomenal portrayals, or a story so wrapped around itself yet so simple? What really makes this game so magical is that, despite being a story written by Kojima, it’s so unbelievably simple when you strip it down to the basics. What a…

unlabelledView post →Exceptionally well‑optimized — runs flawlessly! I played about half of the game on a PS5 Pro, but this is a whole different dimension on PC. On an OLED screen it looks absolutely stunning — the colors, the contrast, the smoothness, everything just pops. Performance is perfect with zero issues, stutters, or drops. If you’ve got a solid PC and a good display, this is the way to experience the game. And honestly, seeing how well this runs, I’d love for Ghost of Tsushima to come to PC with this…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Partial spoilers ahead. Compared to its predecessor, this game is mellowed out. There's just nothing about it. It got hit with the "your favorite game has been adapted for mainstream audiences". From traversal, to delivery, to story, it's just worse in every way. The one exception, I believe, is the gear assortment. I find the expanded arsenal KIND OF fun, and I still have a road-paving addiction. The arsenal expansion would have been SO FUN to play with inside a game with actual challenge…

unlabelledView post →Spoilers ahead: Death Stranding 2 is a way more polished, player-friendly, and just downright fun take on the Death Stranding gameplay loop. There are more ways of traversal, more ways to deal with enemies, more ways of dealing with BTs, etc. In short: if you liked the first game for its gameplay and want to play that game again, only this time Kojima decided to give you a personal arsenal that would make Doomguy blush with you ripping and tearing your way through simple enemy encounters left,…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The original Death Stranding was a game that really, honestly inspired deep change in me. To be kind to other people, to open up- To connect with others. To forgive. I had very deep trauma, and that game was the perfect remedy at the perfect time. When i heard a second game was coming, i started crying at just the announcement. Now, having finished the main story and continuing to keep on keeping on, reaching for that ever elusive 100%. And i don't 100% games as a rule of thumb; Death…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Where to start... A game that feels like a self-masturbatory ode to its predecessor. I'm writing the review because I care about the franchise, not because I hate it. This installment feels like it would've been best enjoyed before playing the first, as it butchers its own very essence. The game seems best catered to couch gaming with your brain off. There is no challenge here. No incentive to perform side quests. No incentive to spend time building "roads" or contributing to the "online"…

unlabelledView post →Feels like the first game, but improved in almost every way. Gameplay is much smoother, with better graphics and more variety in terrain, items, and enemies. Performance is solid, and the DualSense features add a nice extra layer of immersion. If you liked the original, this is a big step up.

unlabelledView post →I really enjoyed the first DS but this one just didn’t land for me. In a lot of ways the story feels like it’s just a rehash of the first game but much worse. There’s a whole cast of new characters who, despite following you around for the entirety of the game, never feel like they’re properly fleshed out. On top of that you have a character who is, quite literally, attached to you at the hip, whose only purpose seems to be to break up the game’s silence by making annoying comments that are…

I'm half-kidding, but there is something so MGS4 at the core of this game and it rears it's head in every little facet of Death Stranding 2's overall design. I can admit calling this game "MGS4: 2" is hyperbole, but if you understand MGS4 as deep as I do you'll see all the same pretty colors I'm seeing. Speaking of pretty colors... Death…
