In IGN's review of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Simon delves into the mixed bag that was the original game. While some praised it, others were left scratching their heads. Simon, however, found himself quite taken with the intricate story and diverse characters, particularly highlighting Die Hard Man's standout performance. The sci-fi world intertwined with personal narratives struck a chord with him, drawing parallels to acclaimed works like Arrival and The Road. As for gameplay, Simon admits to initially finding it a bit of a slog in the first installment, with endless walking and repetitive deliveries. However, the introduction of new combat elements and delivery tools in Death Stranding 2 has piqued his interest, promising a more action-packed experience that he's eager to dive into.
Looking ahead to Death Stranding 2, Simon is hopeful for a more engaging gameplay loop that matches the grandeur of its narrative. The imminent threat of timefall storms and void outs sets the stage for intense challenges as players navigate the hazardous world to deliver crucial cargo and expand the network. With new upgrades tailored to individual playstyles and the ability for players to benefit from each other's structures, the sequel appears poised to offer a more dynamic and cooperative experience. Simon's anticipation for Death Stranding 2 stems from the promise of a smoother, more varied gameplay experience that complements the rich storytelling and character development he enjoyed in the original game.
