One of the best games I have ever played. Worth every single dollar. The story is amazing. The gameplay loop addictive. More focus on combat and exploration. Deliveries don’t take too much time compared to the first game, thanks to more diverse structures and new vehicles (for those of you who criticize this game for being a “walking simulator”). It is definitely the best looking game (graphics) currently out there. The soundtrack could not have been better for my personal taste (similar to the first game). The characters are well written and it is easy to emotionally bond with them as a player. It is also the first game ever where I have not been encountering ANY bugs on release. I have no idea how they did that, but other studios should definitely get in touch with Kojima Production and learn a thing or two from them. Overall, it could not have been better…. Almost. There is only one minor thing that I hope they fix, maybe in a future patch: The strand connections/likes mechanic. I still have no idea how this mechanic works. How to strengthen the bonds between players if the population of a world constantly rotates whenever I save or reload a save. Why are some people who build roads get millions of likes while I am sitting at 12.000, despite that I have started building roads in early access? It is only a minor thing that I hope Kojima P. will explain or adjust in the future. For me, it doesn’t weigh so much. The pros outweigh this con, which is why I stand firm with giving this game the full amount of stars. Well done! The gaming industry needs more games like this! I am looking forward to the Death Stranding movie, series, and hopefully a DLC or Death Stranding 3.
