Death Stranding 2 was my Game of the Year in 2025, and now on PC, it's my GOTY for 2026

I bought a PS4 solely to play the first game, so you can bet that I was all in when Death Stranding 2 was finally announced. The sequel is everything a follow-up should deliver, expanding the world while still nailing the narrative themes, but also changing the gameplay just enough that it's still fantastic. The PS5 console-exclusive made me laugh, cry, and become frustrated during intense deliveries, and now, Death Stranding 2's PC port has got me feeling all of those things once again.
