The mass connection that Death Stranding advocated for has shown its dark underbelly and there are some days where I wish we could go back and undo it all. That anxiety is palpable in Death Stranding 2: On The Beach,

Set 11 months after the events of the original, On the Beach’s twisting tale begins with Sam attempting to settle into a quiet life off the grid with baby Lou but, inevitably, that dream is swiftly ended. Where it goes from there, I won’t even dare to spoil, but I guarantee that you won’t see even half of its reveals coming.
