Walking, again, with more toys
Kojima asked me to deliver packages in a ruined world a second time. I did it. I am a little mad about that.
Death Stranding 2 (2025)
MINUTECRITIC · Jul 26, 2026
Death Stranding 2 is more walking, more rain, more sad men with great hair. The world is still a puzzle you solve with a ladder and a rope. Combat is better. Story is still Kojima: beautiful, over-explained, a little bit of a dare.
I put 20 hours in and then looked at the clock like I had been tricked. Maybe I had. The trick is that the walk is the point. You either like that or you do not.
For the cult. If you bounced off the first one, this will not catch you.

Week 1 in the sim is a second league with worse weather
The console season starts the same day as the real one. That is not a coincidence. It is a license.

Madden is a calendar, not a game
You do not play it because it is new. You play it because the season is about to be.

The dynasty that ate August
I lost a Saturday to recruiting. That is either an endorsement or a cry for help.
