Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is an expansive, captivating sequel filled with huge environments to explore and a big story from Hideo Kojima to try and wrap your head around. Some of my favorite moments from the first Death Stranding took place when songs from artists like Low Roar, Silent Poets, and Woodkid kicked in while exploring the game’s world. That still happens a lot in Death Stranding 2, and it’s just as effective at setting a mood. That all manifests in a wide variety of musical styles in Woodkid’s music for Death Stranding 2. Ludvig Forssell, who composed music for Death Stranding and Metal Gear Solid V, is a composer for DS2 as well.
