Death Stranding 2 review: sticking it to convention with one of Kojima's most impactful stories yet
Briefly

Death Stranding 2 is tasked with enhancing a beloved franchise by exploring both the journey and the destination in unique ways. While maintaining the essence of its predecessor, it introduces new gadgets, settings, and a deeper storyline that keeps players engaged. The game shifts its focus from merely connecting people with ropes to an impactful use of weaponry against various enemies, ensuring the experience feels thrilling and action-packed. Notably, new mechanics like EX Capture grenades add strategic depth, allowing players to capture and utilize BTs in combat, signifying a shift to more dynamic gameplay.
In Death Stranding 2, the core established by the original remains the focus, refreshed through new gadgets, setting, and a riveting new chapter in Sam's story.
The drastic shift in messaging in Death Stranding 2 results in an overall more exciting experience than before, with an increased emphasis on weaponry and excitement.
A great highlight was the EX Capture grenades, allowing you to capture Chaser BTs at low health and whip them out in future battles.
It's a hard thing to live up to! Thankfully Kojima Productions has pulled it off, though not without a few stumbles and missteps along the way.
