Death Stranding 2, like its predecessor, is a game that is polarizing for many. When you "get it," like I and many others do, you simply just feel it on an indescribable level and appreciate each of its head-scratching intricacies. If you didn't "get" the first game, the sequel likely won't change your mind.
But for those with an open mind willing to give a truly original story and gameplay loop a genuine try, DS2 feels like the culmination of everything Kojima has wanted to do in his open-world games, creating something that feels like playable art when at its best.
