    Wow! This is even better than the fist one. The story itself is still standing strong, but I'm especially surprised about how noticeable my actions impacted the story towards the end. The only thing I can complain about is the continuous mixed acting of the main character Sean. This is noticeable in the emotional scenes and I just think his reactions are a bit out of place and weird, butWow! This is even better than the fist one.

Still don't like that people are giving the title 0/10 solely because of the "racist" political messages. There is no more or less "extreme" political messages in this game than in like every movie ever. It's not hurting anyone and I must say one have to be kinda soft to get really offended by this.

    Overall enjoyed it. Waiting for next episode!    … Expand

    I love Life is Strange 2 so far. The story is amazing, the decisions do have consequences. I couldn't ask for anything more. I actually love Life is Strange 2 the best out of the series.

    Life is Strange 2 is beautiful game which is binging on little details. The game scores with a dense atmosphere and a fantastic soundscape, bringing you the immersion many other games promise but fail at delivering.

Episode 2 offers strong images and emotional ups and downs and reveals more of the boys secret and lets the player learn more of the family members. I personally had a blast playing through it and I can only hope for more immersive storytelling.… Expand

    Please do yourself a favor! Ignore those weird reviews, because they don/t matter and does affect a sh*t in the game.

    Giving a 0 to a game because you don't like the different characters and their views introduced to a game is weak. This episode is slower than the previous one, but still good. The story is much more beliveable than the one in LiS1. I can recommend it to every LiS fan out there :3

    Life Is Strange 2: Episode 2 is a disappointment. While it contains a number of revelatory moments and a couple of scenes that pack real tension, thanks to its lousy pacing and absence of agency, only the most committed fans of this series are advised to pick it up. Here’s hoping Episode 3 picks up the pace.

    Technically superior to the previous episode, and a strong second entry to the Diaz boys’ saga.

    A slump in a promising series, Episode 2 still contains emotional highs and thoughtful choices.
