Following Death Stranding 2's reveal at The Game Awards 2022, fans have been speculating on an older Sam Bridges and what it means for the game.
With this feature, we take a look at 15 upcoming games that are trying to do something fresh and original that we haven't seen before.
Hideo Kojima has a unique way of designing games, which makes it easy to predict one aspect that will show up in Death Stranding 2.
With Death Stranding 2, Kojima could fully realize the potential of a strand type game and how it could be one of the biggest releases of the generation.
I really enjoyed the original.
What's great about Kojima is that he consistently learns how to improve upon his prior work. People really only disagree on the narrative quality between titles, but in terms of gameplay? Kohima is an absolute beast at one-upping himself. If we look at Metal Gear Solid, it's really hard to dispute V has the best gameplay, but the worst narrative (in my opinion). Generally, your favorite MGS game comes down to balance between narrative and gameplay—objective and subjective elements. Death Stranding was something new and the gameplay was really his first crack at it. I have great faith that we're going to get that thoughtful introspection that leads to magic.
So even if you didn't like the gameplay of the first, I think you'll be warmer on the sequel. Will it be enough? Everyone's different, but this one seems to be more offensive.
Doesn't seem as extreme
