Cade Onder: Death Stranding 2 is not only one of the best games I have played this generation, it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played in my life. When I wasn’t playing it, I was constantly thinking about it. It’s profoundly moving, deeply engaging, and undeniably beautiful. It’s hard not to be swept up by this game when the camera pulls out and you see yourself conquering an obstacle while some moody track scores your journey.
Although Hideo Kojima wants to make games that are somewhat divisive, I find Death Stranding 2 to be one of his most refined and enjoyable works to date. I feel confident this will be recognized as one of PS5’s defining masterpieces. In the way that we talk about The Last of Us on PS3 or God of War on PS4, I think Death Stranding 2 is an essential title for the PS5 generation.
