Death Stranding 2: On the Beach may have been released yesterday (for those of you who shelled out the extra wonga for the Deluxe edition), but while players were exploring Mexico and Australia for the first time, Hideo Kojima was busy watching the graps.
As Death Stranding 2 is getting mass praise from fans, and a Metacritic score high enough to make it the sixth best game of 2025 (technically fourth since first and second are the Zelda Switch 2 ports). However, Kojima previously said positivity towards the game could be "a problem," with the game's co-composer Woodkid saying the script was changed because playtesters liked it too much. So in the face of all of this praise, Kojima must've needed to chill out, and what better way than to watch a "Fluorescent Lighttubes Glass Board Barbed Wire Death Match."
