    Life Is Strange 2 explores a touching, special relationship between two brothers that will make your heart hurt in the best possible way.

    Despite a quite disappointing beginning, the story of Life is Strange 2 gets more and more intense and climaxes in the final episode, which concludes an incredible adventure that lasted more than a year.

    Life is Strange 2 tells us a new story to address some of the most complex issues of modern society. It usually does it with skill, as there are good pens in the studio, but some forced situations can make it somewhat implausible at times.

    The fifth and final chapter of Life is Strange 2 lets us say goodbye to the story of Sean and Daniel. Even though it has flaws and the ending is not as powerful as we wished, it's still an interesting story to live, with wonderful characters and important themes like racism and the liberty to be who we are.

    Diaz brothers undoubtedly have their charm, but they can’t compete with Chloe and Max. Let’s hope that next time developers will focus on actual story rather than current political agenda. [Issue#243, p.50]

    Life is Strange 2 is good adventure, with a story about growing up, moral challenges and society issues. The roadtrip character of the narrative offers a great variety of sceneries but also comes with a lot of problems like lackluster side characters.

    Its heart is in the right place, but its feet are not - and when you're walking a new path, that's always going to be a problem. [Issue#341, p.112]

    A great game, no more, no less. Who complain the presence of political content and talk of objective judgment should stay silent. A similarA great game, no more, no less. Who complain the presence of political content and talk of objective judgment should stay silent. A similar game have to talk about political content, like the first two game did in their way.
    The story is strong, the character also, the music is perfect like always and so is the dubbing. The game offer a fresh new kind of adventure, different from the first season and from Before the Storm, but still similar for the kind of emotion that the adventure transmit.
    Highly suggested to anyway who appreciate a story well written.

    PS: If you want the wall built, do not play this game; it's not for you. You won't be able to enjoy and judge it with objectivity.

    Quite good, but unfortunately loses what made the first game so great.

    Cons :
    No real lovable characters
    The story is very simple and sometimes drifts away from it's main theme
    Not as emotional and surprising as the first game.

    Pros :
    The characters grow (kind of) and learn from the beginning of the story
    The soundtrack is quite good
    The graphics are very nice with more diverse landscapes
    A few side characters make the story more interesting
    More endings and choices than LiS1

    Абсолютно тупейшие сценарий, тупейшие главные герой, грубая и прямолинейная левацкая политическая повестка, отсутствие интриги, отсутствиеАбсолютно тупейшие сценарий, тупейшие главные герой, грубая и прямолинейная левацкая политическая повестка, отсутствие интриги, отсутствие обьяснение суперсилы, отсутствие логики, унылый геймплей по сравнению с предыдущими частями, отсутствие морали. Если вы здравомыслящий человек, то единственная эмоция которую будете испытывать - это кринж и гнев от нелогичности и тупости всего происходящего в игре.
    Но тем не менее во втором сезоне life is strange есть и плюсы, это - геймплейная и визуальная стилистика, атмосферность, красивые виды, рисование, большая свобода действий в отличий от предыдущих частей, пусть и иллюзорная и наличие 4 концовок, весьма неплохих. Но все это мелочи по сравнению с минусами игры.

There is no spirit of the past parts in it. Very boring main characters, minor characters, and even more interesting than the main characters. It is very common to see the same house assets in different episodes. There is a lot of political overtones, hatred for believers, hatred for white people, hatred for everything. This is not Life is Strange. It's very funny to see how DONTNOD talks about injustice towards different people, but at the same time, they themselves deceived and ignored the protests of the voice actors of Life is Strange 2015. Many young children liked the game and they put 10, just because it is called the same as and the last part and for a bright picture. Don't be fooled. Little music, even less good music. Elections practically do not affect anything. The game has no decent morality. You may like the first and second episodes, but the next episodes are made very poorly, apparently the developers themselves were bored with creating the game. If you are white, a believer, be prepared for the game to hate and despise you. Expand
