That's why there's no "Death Stranding 2" test from us

The second part of the post-apocalyptic postman adventure continues. Unfortunately, we can't provide a test because we only received the code at short notice.

We receive codes in advance for most game tests - including from Sony, which released «Death Stranding 2». In this case, we were surprisingly not considered for sampling in advance. We only received the code on Monday, coinciding with the end of the review embargo.

A separate test is therefore probably obsolete. «Death Stranding 2» takes a good 50 hours to complete, but can take up to 100. Like the other reviewers, we would need several weeks to do this. A test from us in mid-July is therefore no longer relevant. Whether we do anything else about «Death Stranding 2» is something we are keeping open. We'll have to play it extensively first. I hope you understand that.

We are always open to suggestions as to how we should report on a game in such cases. And why don't you write in the comment column how you like the game? As of today, it is already playable with the Premium Edition.

As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
