Death Stranding 2 is a game with faults and annoyances, but it also makes big, expensive swings and is trying to establish its own unique genre, often successfully.
A lot of thoughtful work went into Welcome Tour to make me understand and acknowledge its $10 price tag, but it’s just not a tour I would recommend taking.
Even though Nightreign's success comes with some significant caveats, it had me saying, “Just one more run,” over and over again, a marker of excellence in the genre.
