Death Stranding 2's Scoring Well With Test Reviewers, But Kojima Isn't Satisfied

Death Stranding 2's Scoring Well With Test Reviewers, But Kojima Isn't Satisfied https://ift.tt/l8qQjAT

Death Stranding was a polarizing game when it was first released, but for the upcoming sequel, previews and early reviews for the game have largely been positive. In a recent interview, game director Hideo Kojima explained how he was happy to see test audiences react more favorably to Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, but he also explained how this had left him feeling conflicted.

"Sony is pleased, of course, but I do wish I was a bit more controversial," Kojima said to Edge Magazine (via VGC). "Blockbuster films need an 80% approval rating--I don't want to make games like that. I'm not interested in appealing to the mass market or selling millions of copies.

The other benefit to reviews being divided over a game is that it allows a developer like Kojima to receive constructive criticism and implement improvements, both in the base game and a potential sequel. At the same time, Kojima says that he won't alter themes or story based on feedback from players.
