    This episode gave me hope for the series after finishing it.
    It was one of the best episodes of the entire franchise: the relationships, the freedom, a lot of impactful decisions and an episode with different endings, something that we haven't seen since Life is Strange 1 Episode 2 with Kate.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sean did not succeed with Cassidy in the tent, and at the end of the episode we see him lying with a piece of glass in the eye. The guy is a real winner)… Expand

    The best one so far. The story is still going strong, can't wait to see what happens next.

    The best episode of Life is Strange 2 by far. Great song choice with On Melancholy Hill by Gorillaz, D.A.N.C.E by Justice, and the ending song Natalie by Milk & Bone. The characters Cassidy and Finn were pretty great, I would have preferred one more episode of this, but sadly it was cut short. Going back to the song Natalie though, I believe it was by far the best ending of all 3 gamesThe best episode of Life is Strange 2 by far.

    Life Is Strange 2: Episode 3 still has a problem with pacing and may put off players who aren’t diehard fans of this series. But for those willing to forgive some of its more mundane passages, this episode delivers a pretty compelling denouement and hints at better things to come.

    Hearing the stories/getting to know the new characters who also work on the farm is nice, and there are a lot of parallels to Sean and Daniel’s situation. But it doesn’t feel like much happens, more that the episode is building for something that is going to happen later.

    A bit different from the previous episodes in terms of tone, Wasteland is a very pleasant crossroad for Life is Strange 2, with some very interesting characters, a good evolution of Sean and Daniel's relationship, heartbreaking choices to make and a shocking ending that promises a lot for what's coming next.
