Death Stranding 2 Poll

Didn't have your fill of trekking across atmospheric landscapes in Death Stranding? You're probably sprinting straight into Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, which just so happens to be out now on PS5.

As soon as the reviews dropped earlier in the week, Kojima Productions' latest became one of the year's highest rated games. Critics have been gushing over the title's expanded gameplay mechanics, typically mind-bending narrative, and fantastic character performances.

But let's get it right: the first Death Stranding wasn't for everyone. Undeniably strange in its pacing and methodical in its gameplay systems, it was something of a love-hate release for many. A sequel may seem like a surprisingly hard sell, then — and so we want to know if you're joining Sam Porter Bridges for another adventure.

"In what will prove to be one of the defining games of the PS5 generation, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a profound achievement of design, gameplay, narrative, and visuals," is what we wrote in our full Death Stranding 2 PS5 review.

As if it wasn't already obvious, we awarded the game a ridiculously rare 10/10, concluding: "An immense upgrade on the first game, Death Stranding 2 is an unequivocal masterpiece."

We've also put together a big old Death Stranding 2 guide, which is worth checking out if you need any help with the game.
