Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Review — Ode to a Dying Planet

Death Stranding 2 is bigger and better and bolder. It deepens the themes and ideas introduced in Death Stranding and poses new questions relevant and important to our living reality today. It is wilder, more confounding, less trusting of us as a people than its predecessor — it comes with the tagline “Should we have connected?”. Make what you will of that, but Kojima is clearly concerned with the consequences of a shared global society — of connecting people in a world desperate to tear itself apart.
