From the very first episode, I was pleasantly surprised by the captivating story and characters. The visuals have significantly improved, painting a breathtaking landscape that is perfect for capturing stunning screenshots. However, I must admit that the mouth and face animations in this new installment sometimes detract from the overall immersive experience, even though they are an improvement over the first game.

    The connection I felt with the main characters, Sean and Daniel, didn't quite match the deep bond I experienced with Max and Chloe in the original game. While I understand that "Life is Strange 2" sets itself apart as a distinct story within the same universe, I found myself yearning for a more substantial connection to the first game's narrative.

    Despite the initial reservations, "Life is Strange 2" manages to deliver a promising and captivating story in its first episode. The gameplay mechanics feel familiar, and the addition of a new superpower adds an exciting twist to the experience. The absence of a strong connection to the first game is compensated by an intriguing new storyline and the potential for further character development.

    As the episodes progress, the emotional depth becomes more pronounced. Episode 2 continues the narrative beautifully, and the appearance of Captain Spirit's elements further adds to the richness of the experience. Slowly, I found myself becoming invested in Sean and Daniel's journey, though the spoiled nature of Daniel occasionally grated on my nerves.

    Episode 3 stands out as a personal favorite, thanks to the introduction of captivating new characters and a unique vibe that draws players in. The scenic beauty throughout the game remains awe-inspiring, a true feast for the eyes.

    However, Episode 4 marks a turning point with an increased focus on Daniel's exaggerated and childish behavior, which often felt excessive and detracted from my enjoyment. Despite the breathtaking visuals and well-executed storytelling, this aspect left me conflicted about my overall impression of the episode.

    Fortunately, Episode 5 brings the experience to a fitting conclusion. The scenery continues to be mind-blowing, and the ending aligns perfectly with the choices made throughout the game. The impact of player decisions adds a layer of depth, making every choice feel significant.

    While "Life is Strange 2" certainly possesses its own merits and offers a well-crafted story, it is challenging to compare it to the original game. The deep attachment I felt for Max and Chloe in "Life is Strange" was unparalleled, and while Sean and Daniel have their own compelling story, they cannot compete on the same level.

    In the end, "Life is Strange 2" remains a remarkable journey filled with beautiful moments, choices that matter, and engaging gameplay. It certainly lives up to its title as part of the "Life is Strange" series, even if it doesn't surpass the emotional connection forged in its predecessor.    … Expand

    One of my favourite games 2020. I really got involved in the story and the bond between Sean and Daniel. Even after the ending I thought about what I could have done better to get a better ending.

    The best part about Life is Strange 2 is the character development and how it makes you reflect on what you are witnessing, being the product of your consequences or not. The ending, as I said, destroyed me. Two of them made me cry like a baby, like in LiS 1.

    O game TEM as raízes da saga inclusive acredito que avanços, acho que no segundo game as escolhas tem impactos mais indiretos e inesperados e no primeiro game as consequências das escolhas são mais indiretas e variáveis, mais imperceptíveis, sorrateiras, deslizantes, silenciosas, ardilosas. Acho que aqui no brasil deveria valer uns 10 ou 15 reais a menos.

    Life is Strange 2 is a powerful and compelling experience. I believe that it's a rare video game that tackles mature and difficult themes. Sean and Daniel's relationship is woven into a fine thread through the choices you make, and the outcome left a lasting impression on me like few stories do.

    Life is Strange 2 is a road trip game, so you do not spend a lot of time in the same location, which means you do not spend the whole game with the same characters like you do in the first game. This can suck because there are a lot of really cool characters that you do not interact with anymore after a brief encounter.

    Something interesting about this game is that his time, it is not you who has the superpower, but your little brother. This is a road trip game, but it is also a game where you help shape your little brother's morality. and you try to forge the strength of your relationship with him.

    And I know it is very difficult to have true choices with branching options that heavily affect the story, but I am quite pleased with the available choices here. I've noticed small dialogue choices that might not seem like much do add up in the long run. There are in fact many different possible outcomes for different events. They might not heavily impact the story, but they are there and it is still satisfying.

    I started caring a lot about the characters in this game, and I'm sad we didn't get to interact with some of them in future episodes. But I guess this is part of being a "road trip" game, and not playing in one single setting.

    Also, this game includes social commentary. It depicts racism and bigotry against hispanics in a negative light. So naturally, this made the manchildren and the bigots very upset, hence the 0/10 review-bombs. Yeah, racism is bad. Get **** bigots.

    Life is Strange 2 is a good game. Definitely worth at least one playthrough if you are into these story-focused games, and especially if you have played the other games in the series and you liked them.    … Expand

    Okay, here we go again (bug my review).
    I love all of LIS, all games, but this one is tricky! I played, and I thought all characters who work honestly and not of color are racists. All homeless, crazy ones, and vagabonds are cool, multicultural, and people of color. All bad one characters are white, and the two guys trump through the Trump country to the Zihuatanejo. Oh, Randy, I hope you    Okay, here we go again (bug my review).

All homeless, crazy ones, and vagabonds are cool, multicultural, and people of color. All bad one characters are white, and the two guys trump through the Trump country to the Zihuatanejo. Oh, Randy, I hope you didn't see this.

    And I saw only this point; it was a bold red line of each chapter. What did I saw at the end when I chose to go to jail? That old one protected his super (choose) hero/villain brothers through the entire game, and all was about to save his brother protect him even from himself. He gave 15 years for this, and after he saw the same brother who lives happily ever after, he will never come back to this. He lost it. The prison took everything from him for the better future of his brother. And after this, I see the problem with this game. Is that perfect story where one brother sacrificed everything for his young one who, in my opinion, was a little piece of crap, who killed so many people? No, we see white racism, but not the beautiful dramatic story as LIS always does.

    And I'm staying here to think why the racist story forces me to see the so touchable brother novel. I don't know. I feel so tricky. So, through all that I did in this game, now I see the story of friendship, brotherhoods, and helping hands as in the best King books.

    Spoiler! I walked through the LIS one. After a month, I occasionally saw that I could save the girl on the roof and was in shock. I felt that it's real. It was so emotional that I couldn't think anything through the day. That is was a masterpiece! The Sean crying was a masterpiece too. This is the only reason I gave it 8.

    But I will never play in this game again!    … Expand

    On a road trip with the main characters you meet good and bad people and have to make the right calls on who to trust. Main topics are family, racism and living on the road.

    Having read most of the negative comments I can say that they either are angry that the popular characters from the first game did not come back or claim that the main characters being victims of racism is "leftist SJW-propaganda", so if you are triggered by the existence of racism you probably should not play this game.    … Expand

However, back in 2015, when I've finished LiS 1, I thought it was truly amazing game, and nothing couuld be better than it, but right now, I am sure I was wrong. LiS 1 is all about teenager's life, teenager sh*t etc., and this story is WAAAAY more mature, where you face more deep problems, not like "damn my friend figured out I know she is pregnant nooo" but a "kill a man for your needs or spare him but face serious problems (not spoiler but an example).
    It is an amazing story with big wariety of endings (wassup lis 1) and it's easy to attach to main characters and start to sympathize to them, feel the world the way they feel it. (It becomes even better after you read majority of the reviews on metacritic :) ) However the story isn't perfect and it has some plotholes, but I can't lower the score more than on 0.5 point. This game takes a big leap from the first part and almostly only in positive way. It adds a lot of new mechanics, such as drawing warious landscapes, collecting souvenirs etc. The description for the items in the inventory also changes every damn episode depending on decisions you made in previous episodes, and that's really impressing. Concluding the story talk, it is way longer that in lis 1, it raises deeper and harder questions, and of course, it has more details and as it is a part of LIFE IS STRANGE franchise, it adds more information to the lore, answers some questions from the previous part, and that's pretty much it. I'd put this game on my shelf of the best stories in videogames history (really close to the witcher 3 or rdr2 (yeah i can compare them since they all have different endings). This really should pay attention on this game, no matter what genres you like, I am sure it will not disappoint you. I hope you did read this review 'till the end, and now I can go to bed, cuz it's 3 a.m. in my country :P

После того, как прошел, могу сказать следующее:

    - никакого засилья пропаганды в этой игре нет, все истерики на этот счет опираются на пару мимолетных эпизодов, которые размываются в общей истории и не являются сколько-нибудь узловыми для сюжета.
    - из лгбт темы тут есть одна развилка в середине игры, на которую можно не только не соглашаться, но и которую вам вообще не покажут, если вы до этого не совершите определенный выбор. Плюс флаг радужных цветов на трейлере в последнем эпизоде и короткий разговор с гей-парой.
    - присутствует клишированность некоторых персонажей, особенно отрицательных (но и положительных тоже), однако жанр дорожного приключения сам собой предполагает встречу с разными людьми - плохими и хорошими, именно так и будет в жизни на самом деле.

    В целом игра хорошо сделана, с приятной графикой, своей особенной атмосферой, сюжет годный, а различные концовки определяются вашими выборами по ходу всей игры - это именно то, чего многим не хватило в первой игре.

    Теперь о минусах:

    - Макс и Хлоя из первой части были очень запоминающимися, каждая со всоим характером, своими тараканами, своими взглядами на мир. Братья Диаз в этом плане невнятны, полное отсутствие харизмы.
    - Пропала атмосфера загадочности, предвкушения, тайны, чуда, которая есть в первой игре, отчего LIS2 воспринимается куда хуже, как средней руки драма на просторах юго-запада США.
    - музыка, привносившая особую атмосферу в первую игру, здесь просто никакущая.
    - бедный, опять-таки по сравнению с первой игрой, геймплей. По сути мы только читаем описания предметов, ходим и совершаем выборы в диалогах/действиях. И все. Сверхъестественная сила не у персонажа, которым мы управляем, а у его брата. Да и сама она не очень интересная. Это сильно подрывает интерес к игровому процессу. Справедливости ради, второй LIS ощущается масштабнее первого из-за разнообразия и широты локаций, а также раскинувшегося на несколько штатов повествования.
    - Драматический накал гораздо ниже, чем в первой части, хотя есть пара концовок, чувство горечи после которых сопоставимо с тем, что многие чувствовали в результате финала первой части.

    Итог: игра заслуживает внимания и прохождения, сделано качественно, многое усовершенствовали, но сам сюжет и геймплей не вытянули до планки, заданной первой частью. В итоге впечатления после нее двойственные.    … Expand
