Most Stressful Open-World Games

It’s pretentious, cringey, nonsensical, and so far up its own ass, yet it’s also honest and heartfelt in what it wants to be, and we need more games like that in the triple-A space. Death Stranding 2 could enhance everything its sibling managed to achieve or result in something entirely unique, and I’m more than ready for either of those possibilities.

Cliff was the father of the first Bridge Baby, who just so happens to be Sam Porter Bridges , the very man he has been hunting. Although Cliff’s role as an enemy is over, perhaps there is room for his future by using the past. It would be great to see more of Cliff through flashbacks, and how he helped develop Sam’s baby m

More recently, Kojima has been dropping his own hints about a possible Death Stranding sequel. In September, around the time of the Tokyo Game Show , an image featuring the silhouette of a woman’s face along with the words «Who Am I?» and the Kojima Productions logo was seen floating around the internet. During the PAX Aus gaming event in October, attendees spotted a QR code that, if scanned, leads to a poster hosted by Kojima Productions. The poster features Elle Fanning’s face, along with the words «Where Am I?» and «A Hideo Kojima Game X Elle Fanni

Those who have played Red Dead Redemption 2 will fully grasp the noble failure of Dutch’s life and the painful realization he has in this scene. Yet Dutch offers John an indelible truth, that a monster will always be found and that war must always be fought, for it ‘justifies their wages’, a sentiment that rings true to the conflicts of today. Poor John, however, doesn’t grasp the fatal foreshadowing. A game that is set at the end of the ‘Wild West’, this monologue showcases this great character and truly marks the end of an

Considering that Lockne is now one with her sister, and their goals align, it would be great to see the character continue her journey in Death Stranding 2 and to further develop great technology for Sam to use as he ventures in his most dangerous mission

A tragic character through and through. Dutch’s last words reflect the realizations he’s had about his life and how it has become stacked against him. A charismatic man who tried to reform the world around him and live free by his ‘code’, Dutch was also addicted to needing to be great and would at times compromise his values to uphold his so-called ideals. Dutch possessed the understanding that change is simply inevitable and that he would be condemned to fighting

Considered by some to be one of the best performances in a game, the actor portraying Die Hardman, Tommy Earl Jenkins nails the scene with his poignant portrayal of grief, guilt, and what it means to be self-conflic

Due to Deadman’s creation, he has no beach and no place to go when he dies. Considering how fun Deadman was as an ally, it would be a shame to not see him again, especially when he deserves some form of payoff for his creat

This kind of scenery is more akin to what one would expect from Iceland. It has had its landscape uniquely shaped by millennia of volcanic activity and geological forces that have created steep mountains and deep fjords. This comes as no surprise, as Kojima’s travels have taken him to the tiny European country, which is also where he discovered the music of Low Ro

You often stumble across the empty husks of cities, only ever interacting with fellow human beings in cutscenes or through disparate holograms spread across identical facilities dotted across the landscape. It all feeds into the narrative and worldbuilding, but simultaneously it points to a limited experience, or one that is yet to reach its full potential. This is where Death Stranding 2 comes into view, and how a sequel building upon everything the original game managed to achieve would be monumental. Give Kojima Productions an equal level of freedom alongside a decent budget and watch the project blossom. That’s all we need.

The announcement of the upcoming game gives plenty for Kojima fans to look forward to. To find out more about the upcoming game, gamers will likely have to keep an eye on his Twitter and an ear to his podcast titled Brain Structure . In addition to Death Stranding 2 online guide Stranding 2 , gamers can also expect an Xbox game from Kojima. According to rumors, the game is titled Overdose , and it is a horror title that will feature Margaret Qual

Across PC, PS4, and PS5 it has sold north of five million copies, which is incredibly impressive for a new IP and proof that Kojima is more than capable of dealing out bangers away from the likes of Metal Gear Solid and Zone of the Enders. He remains one of the medium’s most fascinating creators, and that makes the idea of Death Stranding 2 all the more exciting. I dislike the trend of auteurs being placed on a pedestal above the hundreds of people it takes to make a modern blockbuster possible, but Kojima feels like one of the few exceptions to this rule. All of his weird, innovative ideas are present in his open world post-apocalyptic Amazon Prime simulator with little to no filter, whether we’re throwing our own piss at ghosts in the form of grenades or watching Norman Reedus in the shower before downing a six-pack of Monster. Anything is possible in Death Stranding because Kojima has created a studio that enables him, while working alongside a team that supports whatever he comes up with and delivers on it without question.
