Sam's next trip takes him from Mexico to Australia
Death Stranding 2: On the beach takes place 11 months after the previous match. Sam Bridges, now living in a quiet life with his BB (Bridge Baby) Lou, finds himself in Mexico following a fragile request. In Mexico, Sam is caught in an incident that ultimately brings him to Australia. There, he must assume the Herculean task of crossing the continent for, once again, reconnecting a fractured company.

History and gameplay to the fast rhythm
A point that marked me during the practice of the game was his account and his gameplay rapidly evolving. The story of the first death to death took things slowly to prepare the scene and carefully dispose of the world to the player. However, Death Stranding 2: on the history of the beach takes place at a faster rate, and you will also have access to new equipment and structures much earlier in the game.
New players can catch up with the history of the previous game via “Death Stranding Recap” from the title menu and search for the terminology of the game from the “corpus” functionality.
Improved visuals coupled with an out -of -competition soundtrack
Death Stranding 2: On the beach takes full advantage of the PS5 capacities to provide breathtaking graphics. The representation of nature is particularly striking – from the opening scene taking place in Mexico, where you walk along a ridge of the robust desert, I was blown away by realism. The rocky soil and the dust swollen at the feet of Sam are made with such precision that the hardness of the terrain really passes. The game illustrates various Australian nature and fauna in detail, including an animal sanctuary with lush vegetation that houses animals such as kangaroos, koalas and wallabies. There is also an option to switch to an “aerial camera” which captures Sam with a high -level bird view, which allows you to enjoy the immensity of the environment while you slowly cross the ground. The game band is also exceptional, and I was moved every time the beautiful music played when I reached a new delivery point.

Increased freedom and strategic opportunities
This game gives the player more choices and freedom in terms of strategy and decision -making.
One of the reasons is the wide variety of equipment and structures available from the start, a list that continues to grow as the game progresses. It is the same for transport methods, because a range of infrastructure, motorcycles and trucks will be available relatively at the start of the game. In terms of combat, there are many Bola firearms and firearms among which choose, but if combat is not your strong point, you can assemble the transport devices to strategically avoid danger areas. You can also use smoke grenades to avoid combat as much as possible while sailing in dangerous territories.
Players can also take advantage of the newly implemented day / night cycle to their advantage. During the day, the land and enemies are more visible, but it is also easier for the threats to locate you. On the other hand, enemies are less likely to locate you at night and it is easier to sneak, but you must also be cautious because there is less visibility.
Respond and adapt to spontaneous natural risks
Players must also be prepared for various natural dangers triggered by the environment. When an earthquake occurs, you can lose your balance due to strong tremors and falling rocks. If you plan to rush through damaged land in the mountains, it would be a good idea to reduce your charge in the event of earthquakes. You will also need to avoid flooded rivers when there are heavy rains. When I met a forest fire during my game, I turned it off by spraying tar with my “tar of tar”, new equipment available in the game.

Individual style of play has an impact
In the previous game, Sam's statistics have improved according to its Porter note, but Death Stranding 2: on the beach includes 12 new levels of “competence”.
Similar to how you can upgrade your weapons competence by using them more often during the fight, your playing style will have a direct impact on SAM statistics and capacities. For example, if you spend more time traveling rugged with an unstable foot, SAM's ability to cross damaged land will improve more quickly. The statistics of each player will be different depending on the choices they make. My Sam was more competent for fist fights because my fight was focused on the fray.
Personalize SAM features with APAS Improvement
Another component that changes SAM's capacities is the new automated improvement in the Assistant Porter system. By consuming “memories” acquired during the game, you can improve four different features: wear, fight, stealth and service. The number of memories you can collect is limited, so it's up to you to decide on the features you want to acquire and upgrade.
New enemies, new weapons and even more convincing fights
Death Stranding 2: On the beach introduces a new type of BT called “Watcher”, which detects and attacks SAM through view. There are also several new human antagonists, including a group called “Armed Survivalists”, which is attacked with deadly firearms.
To take these great threats, you can use a variety of new weapons that have been added to the game. The electrified posts that were the weapon of the mule of choice in the previous game, can be used to hit or be thrown into this game on vehicles and electrocubé enemies. In addition, various holographic grenades can be exploited to avoid combat. A BT holographic pomegranate projects a Hologram of a BT when activated, fleeing human enemies. The solid selection of firearms allows an exhilarating fight, but many of these weapons are also ideal for stealth and ambush.
Death Stranding 2: On the beach is a clear evolution of its predecessor and offers players a lot of freedom and choice. Prepare to face the enemies and obstacles of another world to save humanity from extinction on June 26 on PS5. Players who buy the Collector or Digital Deluxe Edition edition can start their early trip with early access to 48 hours, and pre -order bonuses are available in all editions.
