SHOWNOTES: On the latest Game Launch review, Ashley is covering Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. As a follow-up to 2019's Death Stranding—which Collateral Gaming covered not long after its original PS4 release—this is truly a Hideo Game, which could only come from the mind of developer legend and GigaChad Hideo Kojima. Prep time is over; it's time to set out and discuss the title that will compete with the likes of Expedition 33 for Game of the Year—no spoilers!
