Death Stranding 2 is a hit with the press

This is it! Hideo Kojima will release Death Stranding 2: On the Beach on June 26 as a PS5 exclusive. The specialized press has now given its verdict on this game, which is fair to say it has already made its mark.

On Metacritic, the game has an average score of 90%, with 95 reviews published at the time of writing. As for the [OpenCritic] score (https://opencritic.com/game/18226/death-stranding-2-on-the-beach), it currently stands at 92% (48 reviews).

Those who've tried the game praised the sumptuous graphics, impeccable soundtrack, great action and overall pace, miles better than that of the first Death Stranding.

As for the shortcomings, we must note the absence of any striking new features, secondary characters that are a bit boring and deliveries that end up feeling almost too simple.
