IGN General Review:
The first generation of Death Stranding is full of potential: a complex, often confusing first draft, but never seems pretentious.It was a meditative journey across the Lost America, which built a world and its rules in a gorgeous way-even though I felt it occasionally staggered during the journey.But in Death Stranding 2, the stage turns to Australia, which brings a bigger vision and breaks through in almost every way.The sequel removes almost all the frustrating obstacles from the first generation, making a stunning debut with a truly unexpected, suspenseful story, and hiding a freely sliver action playground in its vast, creepy, beautiful map of Australia.
Yes, it's still very weird at times – but that's not where it defines it.This is a creative journey full of shock and awe, a bold work worthy of encouragement.It is not perfect, but it is extremely exciting and original, never deviating from the path that few people walk, and I love it even more because of this.
