The world of Death Stranding 2: On The Beach can be a lonely, lonely place. Thankfully, as with the first game, you occasionally bump into fellow porters to remind you that you aren't enduring this world alone. Or are you? My curiosity as to how these porters worked got the better of me, and so I put away my coffin board and ziplines, and instead decided to spend hours following these guys on foot as they made deliveries. It was this wild experiment that ended up becoming one of my most meaningful, illuminating experiences across the whole of Death Stranding 2, and bringing me back to what Death Stranding is meant to be about. In this analysis of Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, let's talk about it!
