Death Stranding 2 Receives Highest User Rating on PlayStation Store, Beating Expedition 33 and KCD 2

The release of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach last week was a notable event in the industry – the sequel to Hideo Kojima’s experimental adventure once again surprised players with its unconventional gameplay, mysterious atmosphere and philosophical plot. Despite its complexity for perception and obviously controversial moments, the project managed to arouse admiration among both critics and ordinary players around the world.

Right now, at the time of publication of the news, Death Stranding 2 ranks first among all releases of 2025 according to user rating on the PlayStation Store. The game received an impressive score of 4.93 out of 5, based on more than 11 thousand reviews. At the same time, 97% of all votes are the maximum 5 stars, which makes the project not only the leader of the current year, but also, perhaps, one of the highest-rated titles on the platform of all time. Closest competitors, such as Expedition 33 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, are not much, but still inferior in user ratings.
