While it borrows elements from walking sims and stealth games, there’s nothing like Death Stranding, and so it’s hard to calibrate your expectations accordingly. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a direct follow-up. But some of the missions are a little too much like a typical action game, which Death Stranding does not excel at. That might make Death Stranding a tough series to recommend for some. But for me, that struggle was worth the effort, because, again, there just isn’t anything like Death Stranding.
