Death Stranding 2: On the Beach PC is a unique horror walking simulator
The Hindu
One of the best games of 2025 makes it over to the PC, with a harder mode and bristling with new graphic tech
With Playstation moving away from PC gaming to focus on console exclusivity, Death Stranding 2 may just be the very last Playstation original. Starting with Horizon Zero Dawn in 2020, Sony has had quite the successful run, and what better way to go out on than with Death Stranding 2?
Launched in 2025 to rave reviews, it tragically missed out on winning Game of the Year in almost every category, which went to Clair Obscur. However, that does not make it any less deserving of attention, especially if one is a fan of the first game as a PC player and is eager to see how the story of Sam pans out.
After connecting America, Sam is forced to hide with his daughter in Mexico, away from the very company he used to work for. Sam is afflicted with a condition called DOOMS which lets him freely roam in a world taken over by unseen ghosts and rain that will age you with every drop. Sam is a sci-fi, post-apocalyptic delivery guy, who has to carry parcels between the remnants of humanity gone underground.
In Death Stranding 2, it is up to Sam to reconnect Mexico and Australia, while searching for someone he has lost.
The story of Death Stranding is bonkers, but extremely unique. The first game could be termed as slow, as you learn and discover the world and its mechanics. Death Stranding 2 is much faster paced, as the story picks up right after the events of the first game, which if you have not played, then a recap is not enough. I would strongly suggest you drop this review and go play the game, or nothing will make sense.
Death Stranding 2’s story may lose the novelty the first game had, but its plot is equally poignant with a few excellent new characters and Oscar-worthy performances from Norman Reedus, Ellie Fanning, Léa Seydoux and others. Also, since Kojima is a massive fan of RRR, there are substantial appearances by SS Rajamouli and his son SS Karthikeya, so keep an eye out for them.
