Hideo Kojima feels strange about how much people like Death Stranding 2. The game creator learned that his new title tests better than the first one did. He actually prefers when his games divide players instead of pleasing everyone. With the original Death Stranding, four out of ten testers loved it, but six called it terrible. Kojima thought this split reaction showed he had made something unique.

The sequel earns more praise from test players across the board. Sony feels happy about these positive responses to the PlayStation 5 game. Kojima worries that widespread approval might mean the game lacks fresh ideas. He cares less about selling millions of copies than creating new experiences nobody has tried before. The designer still needs his games to succeed enough to support his team and studio.

When it came out, Death Stranding mixed package delivery with supernatural elements. Many players found its gameplay loop either fascinating or boring, with little middle ground. Fans who enjoyed the first game can look forward to the sequel arriving June 26 on PlayStation 5. The original reviewer counts themselves among those who thought the first game was great despite some dull moments.
