The following contains spoilers for Death Stranding 2. Just as it was with the first game, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach offers an intense, emotional story that is already plenty deep in its writing, but is made even more so by its ambient score. Music has always played a major role in bringing the bizarre ideas of Hideo Kojima to life, but rather than staying in the background, this time, Death Stranding 2’s score plays the part of assistant storyteller, especially when it comes to developing the game’s characters.

Now, there’s a new development, as Amazon finally has a listing for the Nintendo Switch 2 on its site. However, for those that tend to choose Amazon for their online shopping, it seems as though it may…

Over the past year, Hades 2 has consistently proven itself to be one of the biggest indie hits in recent memory, with its Early Access launch garnering praise for how much it expands on and improves the original.

Given that Hades eventually came to PS5 about a year after its full release on…
