Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Review Discussion and Spoilercast | Sacred Symbols+, Episode 470

We all know well enough that PlayStation 5 isn't exactly swimming in exclusives, and the ones it does get don't hang around for long before migrating elsewhere. So it's a treat for us to get to record a review discussion and spoilercast for a rare PS5 game that itself will undoubtedly migrate elsewhere before long. That said, what a game it is! Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is Kojima's long-awaited follow-up to the heady and unique 2019 PS4 original, and there's so much to say about it. To talk about it in-depth, I (Colin) invited my Sacred Symbols brethren to the show -- Chris and Dustin -- as well as Summon Sign's and Punching Up's Brad Ellis. Within our lengthy, winding conversation, we touch on a ton of topics: Gameplay, setting, story, characters, and so much more. But we also recognize that there's even more to say. So in the coming weeks, we'll be solicing feedback from the audience so that we can pull at a ton of unexplored threads, too. In the meantime, enjoy our thoughts on our respective 50+ hour experiences with this new adventure, and let us know what you thought about what could be Hideo's strangest offering yet.
