latest only released a couple of months back \u2014 exclusively on Sony&#8217;s current-gen system \u2014 so this is a somewhat timely follow-up. If you&#8217;re yet to be sold on the story-driven, traversal-heavy adventure, then this five-hour taster could be worth checking out.<\/p>\n<p>That said, we&#8217;re not totally sure how much value you&#8217;ll get out of the first five hours of Death Stranding 2. While certainly not as restrictive as the first game in terms of introductory gameplay structure, you&#8217;ll still be watching a lot of cutscenes and learning the ins and outs of the title&#8217;s central mechanics.<\/p>\n<div class=\"for-mobile insert insert-label\">\n<div id=\"inject-primis-player\" data-src-primis=\"https:\/\/live.primis.tech\/live\/liveView.php?s=117168&amp;vp_content=plembed39b4tigwxqjz&amp;cbuster=%%CACHEBUSTER%%&amp;playerApiId=primis_player_float&amp;schain=1.0,1!ziffdavis.com,22392450815,1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But look, we think Death Stranding 2 deserves as much attention as it can get. As far as we&#8217;re concerned, it&#8217;s a clear candidate for Game of the Year \u2014 as evidenced by our &#8216;outstanding&#8217; 10\/10 review.<\/p>\n<p>The five-hour trial drops next week, on the 19th August, alongside the latest PS Plus Extra and Premium update.<\/p>\n<p>Will you be giving this trial a shot?
