    The weak premise fails to sustain a flagging plot. The voice acting and the dialog take a turn for the worse, which is saying something. A lot of the themes becoming overbearing. The game's only mechanic, your ability to rewind time, becomes almost unbearably wearisome. That there have been so many highly positive early reviews of such a sloppy project is something I find suspicious. MyThe weak premise fails to sustain a flagging plot.

My girlfriend seemed to like it, I assume because she speaks English as a second language, up until the puzzles became unimaginative and melodramatic. Who has been saving the life of Maxine's friend six times a day, everyday, before Maxine got superpowers? Still a high level of world detail and some beautiful graphics for a story game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Life is Strange Episode 2 - Out of Time. In my opinion isn't a very good episode, the first episode is a little better but still isn't a great game.
    The graphics of the game look nice. I also like how they have done 'some' of the characters, some of them are too stereotype. For example, Victoria being the bully but is nice to you when she wants something out of you.
    I found this game to very boring and you are just in a walking simulator at the end of it. You don't have many choices to choose from (as this is a choice based game), I feel like you only have two choices and nothing in between.

    I am giving this a 1/10 because of the story, the characters and just the way the game is set.    … Expand

    The first episode was fresh and interesting. Episode 2 is boring and drawn out. Find 5 bottles! The game changes up its mechanics at a pivotal moment. Where ep 1 was exciting and fascinating, ep 2 is like watching the amateurs take over for the pros.

    An entertaining thriller that strays too far from the storytelling of the first episode.

    It brings suspense and intrigue to the forefront, while still tackling the science fiction and drama effectively. Emotions run high in multiple points, always keeping you eager to see what’s going to happen next.

    The second episode of Life is Strange is as beautiful as the first.
