Death Stranding 2 On The Beach has received numerous positive reviews both in Brazil and globally and is poised to be a significant success in 2025. Hideo Kojima addresses players’ desires for more action within this decaying universe while maintaining the bizarre and grotesque elements.
Bruno Garattoni in Superinteressante magazine observes: “The participation of three filmmakers (who also take on acting roles) highlights Hideo Kojima’s connection to the film industry, the creator of the game.”
Death Stranding 2 is highly cinematic. Its exceptional art direction, profound mythology, compelling performances, and photorealistic visuals make other games appear primitive, limited, and less ambitious.
Hideo Kojima is to video games as Stanley Kubrick is to cinema. Not always understood – but invariably genius.”
Hayes Madsen in Rolling Stone states: “Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is like a symphony — a beautiful classical concert where, occasionally, an electric guitar rips in with a disconcertingly good riff, but it’s strangely and irregularly put together. Overall, it’s odd and unconventional, yet undeniably fascinating in how these disparate parts fit.”
The Kotaku website offered this definition: “A larger, more expansive, but not always better iteration of the eccentric open-world infrastructure simulator created by Kojima.”
On Metacritic, a leading review aggregator, the game has achieved an average score of 90 points based on 91 reviews published so far. Meanwhile, on OpenCritic, the score is 92—one of the highest of the year—with 96% of the considered analyses recommending the game.
A success.
