    Without doubt the best simulation of carrying stuff over long distances the medium has ever seen. Also a masterpiece of artful storytelling, social commentary and enigmatic characters.

    Stepping back into Sam's shoes on PC is the best way to (re)discover Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Far more than the new content, it's the increased technical freedom that makes the difference in the experience: the unlocked frame rate, upscaling tools, and numerous graphical options further enhance an already extremely fascinating world.

    Death Stranding 2's PC port showcases the power of the Decima Engine once more, proving its superiority in both optimization and presentation. "To the wilder" difficulty also adds the much-needed challenge that it sorely needed, making it the definitive version of the game.

    Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a sometimes frustrating yet always impressive adventure that expands on its predecessor in every way, and is another must-play experience for any fan of Hideo Kojima.

    The PC version of Death Stranding 2: On The Beach maintains, and in some ways, lifts the high bar of quality its console counterpart set.

    A great port of an incredibly strong sequel – an experience quite unlike anything else. The only question is whether Kojima’s idiosyncratic post-apocalypse can hold the PC community's attention, with Crimson Desert out on the same day. Regardless of its commercial fate: if this is the final nail in the coffin for PlayStation games on PC, at least it’s a really pretty one.
