Life is Strange 2

Wonderfully immersive and unbearably sad... This game gets you...it's more like watching an animated movie and you control the outcome by your actions...in fact that's it exactly! It draws you in from the start and gets unbearably desperate and upsetting. It's brilliant!!

7.2?!? I normally don't give games a perfect 10, cause there's always something to take away from a game. In this case though, LiS2 deserves a far better spot than 7.2.

It is easily the better title with a greater focus on character development between the protagonist and his brother. Not to mention, it serves as a good roadtrip movie which for me, is a far more interesting environment than the school.

Naturally the first one was a murder mystery. Here, it's more about hard choices while trying to hold onto your morality.

I feel the low ratings come from those who not only wanted a similar game to LiS1 but those who were also trapped in its nostalgia.

One of the main reasons why most fans didn't like this it's because this is not a follow up to max and chloe's story which is unfair and yeah the voice acting and dialogue is kinda weak specially the main protagonist (sean) it's not flawless but even so, the story and characters are really good, it's much more longer and bigger than the original life is strange and it's very grounded, this game also started out a lot more emotional than the first episode of season 1 which is fitting since this game is goes for a darker and more miserable story.

One of the main flaws of season 1 was the fact that the final episode was really rushed and disjointed (lis bts suffers even more from this issue) but not this game since it has several endings and surprisingly this is the only lis game that have your choices actually impact the ending you get, that's a huge improvement for the series.

Now of course nothing is perfect and this game has some pacing and story issues, for example i wanted more out of chris (captain spirit) since he had his own little game, another thing is that the cast and the setting constantly change in the game and while that makes things fresh it makes it hard to get into the side characters since they won't stay for long but other than that the relationship between the two brothers is the heart and soul of this game and that never change.

Overall this is a great game that if you go with the right expectations it can bring out a lot of feelings out of you, definitely a lot better than the scores would tell you.

This is truly an emotional masterpiece,odyssey of feelings and pure art. The blend of storytelling,character development,locations and of course that soundtrack that tunes in at the perfect moment will undoubtedly make you realise that you have a soul, that you care.

I do agree that there was a little bit of a political agenda and that in places it's a little bit too obvious or exaggerated - but this game was absolutely magnificent. It's been a while since I've felt such emotion and connection to fictional characters and I seriously put that next to Red Dead 2 in terms of heart-strings. I loved the other Life is Strange games, but I think this one will resonate with me for a while. Damn!
