    I cried at the end of each episode when I first play through the episodes. They had my attention all the way through, but now. Yes, it doesn't have same effect, but doesn't mean that I hate this game. I still find love for this game.

    I loved LIS 1 and LIS 2 was a bit of a surprise release for me. I only discovered last week that it was out.

I have theories. The story, as with LIS1, has some queer undertones (although you can avoid that if you want), and there's a racial element too. Some have criticised it as being heavy handed, which I find surprising. I'm Caucasian (if that matters) and thought the challenges the Diaz brothers encounter based on the ethnicity were pretty underplayed/subtle. Most of the story is not about that. I don't have that lived experience to compare it too, but I imagine it's not unusual at all. Anyway. Totally emotionally invested.… Expand

    I have just finished the last chapter. I came to Metacritic to see how many white-supremacists-at-heart have wrote a review or left a rating. And, boy, I was not surprised when it turned out: a lot.

    Life is Strange 2 follows the story of two brothers. The brothers are Latinos, mind you, and the face most of the struggles Latinos face in modern day America, from police violence, to racism, to the hard-nosed bigotry of the anti-immigrant immigrants of the US of A. So, ask yourself those questions: are the immigrants taking your jobs? Should Trump build a wall on the southern border? Should PoC use different toilets / water fountains / buses? If you answered "Yes" to any of the above, don't buy this game. You will soon be as resentful as may of those kids whining about the "in-you-face" politics in the game.

    If you don't mind the game which touches some delicate subjects, you will be in for a treat, because the story is beautifully crafted, with the right balance of happy and sad moments. It doesn't mean that it won't break your heart. Oh, it will, at least several times, but at least there's light at the end of the tunnel.

    As with the first two installments, the game offers great graphics, that goes along beautifully with nice music score.

    The thing I disliked the most was I could not obtain all the souvenirs (which are collectibles needed for the PS4 Trophies) in my playthrough. After you finish the game, you can go back and get them all, but in some instances it takes a lot of time (and I mean, like, watching a 5 minute boring sequence), since you cannot rewind the scenes you've already seen. That sucks.

    So, if you don't think yourself a privileged white dude who thinks the whole world is out there to bereave you of your entitlement, it's well worth giving the new season a try. Many beautiful moments guaranteed.    … Expand

    Life is strange 2 is an emotional and engaging story with protagonists and topics most studios won't touch, the game tells a story that reflects our current world, it’s more relatable than we'd like to think it’s possible.

    The bond between Sean and Daniel has been the heart of this story. Every choice you make, you see whether they just affect Sean, Daniel or both of them, and the choices actually matter, in the first game you can see the consequences of your actions really fast, but in Life is Strange 2, it's not really visible from the beginning, but it will shape the behavior of Daniel, and his behavior will change a lot along their journey and it will all contribute to the ending you’ll get. There's so much character development for Sean, he changes so much from one episode to another and by the end of episode 5 he's not the same sweet boy we met in episode 1, perhaps he'll never be that person again, there's naturally more tension in creating a teenager character who is forced to be a parent to their younger sibling way before they are ready. The idea of what it means to evolve as a parent comes off strong, the moral choices are difficult to make, but that's the intention, to try to make the right decision for Daniel even as he's showing how much he hates you. It's even harder to make moral choices when you're forced into a lifestyle that most would consider immoral for children. This story is so important and it shows the reality of lgbtq+ folks and poc who are homeless in a country where bigotry unfortunately starts to become a 'common' reality. The force that the characters are running from, is the constant spectre of racially motivated violence, the plot is kicked off by that kind of violent incident, a situation that happens everyday in the world, not to mention the complexity of characters when you put it all together: there *are* homeless bisexual boys doing their best to raise their sibling after recently losing their father to a tragic and unnecessary act.

    A lot of people have been complaining about political topics in the game, let me tell you something: If they didn't talk about politics, that would be a political message, homeless kids, racism and xenophobia are a real thing, but you say It's politics when a Mexican dad is killed leaving two homeless boys to survive, but good story telling when white girls are murdered? Ok. I see you. I see exactly what you are saying.

    I can only hope the people who love Life is Strange 1 can give Life is Strange 2 a chance because it’s a really deeply moving game about a different kind of life, about how powerless life can feel but still getting up and trying, even when really **** up stuff happens. Don’t get me wrong, I love Life is Strange 1 but I relate a lot more to Life Is Strange 2, Chloe and Max were my friends but Sean and Daniel are like my family. Two different kinds of love. I fully understand the love for the first game, I love it too, the world delt queer girls a **** hand and this was representation and love, the world also is dealing a **** hand to Mexican Americans and a sensitive bisexual boy, and to say it’s not realistic says a lot about what kind of person you are.
    Whichever direction you take Sean and Daniel's lives, chances are you'll feel responsible for their fates. It's personal. And because it's personal, it's memorable. That's about the utmost positive quality for this style of story.    … Expand

    Edit 1:What an amazing episode from start to finish
    we finally got close to the frontier (and we got through it depending on your end)
      At the beginning of the episode we are still taking shelter in the Karen community. The beginning of the episode is until quiet
    but from the middle to the end things start to improve a lot it was amazing. The tension the game gives us in this last episode is surreal, and the choices you made and what you said to Daniel in the past influence the end of the game.

This game puts an emphasis on humanity, decision-making/the butterfly effect, and covers a range of serious social issues with a sentimental, but realistic perspective. The soundtrack is seriously incredible, the presentation is excellent, and the multiple choices and endings will have you playing each episode at least once. I personally love the little details, like how in Sean's journal, the choices you make during the game ultimately affect the outcome of what is in the journal, or how the description for items in your inventory constantly changes between episodes. I love the collectibles you can pin on to your backpack, the drawings you can make, and the moments of calm because they really add to the charm of the game and make the world feel relatable, alive & believable. Easily the most intriguing part of the game is the end of each episode when you can compare your decision-making stat % to other players and replay an episode over again in an attempt to try and make the ideal scenario for your Sean and Daniel going into the next episode. To compensate for the lack of rewind powers that are in the first game, you are now responsible for the fate of two players simultaneously. Some examples include Daniel having nightmares because Sean may or may not have intentionally scared him earlier, teaching Daniel how to steal or teaching him about trail-blazing, teaching Daniel how to skip stones or asking him to beg for food... If you are into narrative driven games/movies/tv shows, I can't say enough good things about this game, I highly recommend it to anyone who has an open mind and an open heart.… Expand

Its one of my favorite games and narratives ever. Truly mature and heartbreaking and overwhelmingly politically relevant.

After finishing episode 1 I felt the story of LIS2 dragged. It's slow. It's not without it's shocking twists and blind corners though.

After finishing episode 1 I felt the story of LIS2 dragged. It's slow. It's not without it's shocking twists and blind corners though.

    The story is both a pro and a con. It's quite different to LIS1 in the way it's broader and the scope of events is much more random. It's also a game where your characters travel across the country, whereas the first was set in a handful of locations in the same area. However, this could also serve as a negative regarding the choices you make. I realised after completing the game, and watching all the endings via YouTube, just how divergent each one can be. The consequences of your choices are spread so wide apart that it's impossible to see where it could have gone if you chose different, a problem the first game didn't have. So on one hand it feels like a truly free and unique adventure to the player, but on the other it stunts it a bit just making you wonder what the difference could have been, maybe much like real life.

    That said, the mechanics of the game are sound, good graphics that don't need to be overdone, good control, voice acting, lots of background is found within notes and sketches you sift through too. As the story progresses it becomes more emotive making you sense that no real good ending is in sight for the two brothers. Max and Chloe from the first game were swathed in moral dilemmas but it only affected a handful of nearby characters. Daniel and Sean's actions in LIS2 are constantly being investigated by the cops who chase them the whole way. Unfortunately, the boys' inventory backpacks are full of stuff they never seem to use/focus on in this game, which was a shame.

    Daniel's 'superpower' is a bit of a cop out for me. Telekinesis is a bit old hat in some ways, but it's done quite well and as you play from Sean's perspective, it brings a new element to the game where you can literally lose control of Daniel and change his attitude as he travels with you.

    By the end of the game I realised how much effort had been put into this game to try and scratch up to the first one. The ending stays with you for a while (well, mine did, it was pretty shocking), like all good games. It's certainly not as good, but it's well worth a playthrough as a decent standalone game. To be honest, playing this one before the first one would be better for a new player in some ways.    … Expand

    LiS 2 ainda não alcançou o mesmo clima que o Lis mas é um ótimo jogo que ainda tem mais um episódio para ser lançado, o jogo tem altos e baixos e faz bastante criticas, a xenofobia, religião, homofobia, etc

The author raises the question of the brothers and how the older brother should teach, educate, take responsibility over the younger, therefore that the elder brother is an example of an ideal. The atmosphere, the music is always good, the game can make you rejoice, be touched, angry at someone, but it didn’t make me cry, as it was in life is strange 1 or Life is Strange: Before the Storm, these are crazy events that can break anyone th cheloveka.V final choice was between how to do right, but the bitterness of the loss of, or act like selfish and be a victim, as actually in the elections Life is Strange between life or the lives of millions of Chloe.

If you give the game a rating of 8/10/Прошёл я Life is Strange 2. Не однозначное мнение,если начать о хорошем то автор показывает историю двух братьев и их любовь и отвага помогла им преодолеть трудности.Автор ставит вопрос братьев и как старший брат должен учить,воспитывать,брать ответственность над младшем,потому что старший брат является примером идеала.Атмосфера,музыка как всегда хороша,игра может заставить вас радоваться,умилятся,злится на кого-то,но вот плакать как по мне не заставила,как это было в life is strange 1 или Life is Strange: Before the Storm.Это безумные события,которые могут сломать любого человека.В финале был выбор Между как сделать правильно,но горечь утраты,либо поступить как эгоист и будут жертвы,как собственно в выборе в Life is Strange между жизнью миллионов или жизнь Хлои. А если говорить о минусов то только 1 это долгий выход эпизодов,ты прошёл эпизод и хочешь на кураже поиграть в след. а фиг жди месяц +-,это сильно бьёт по атмосфере и начинаешь меньше переживать за поступки и действия который ты совершаешь.

    Начал читать обзоры на игру, когда закончил 4 эпизод, после чего прошёл 5й и... вот моё мнение никак не поменялось, как ничего не резало глаза раньше, так и не резало после.

    Конечно, хотелось бы более расширенного геймплея и влияния на воспитание Даниеля. Так же хотелось бы больше влияния принятых решений во взаимодействии с другими персонажами, поскольку в конечном итоге складывается ощущение, что это абсолютно не важно, как ты там общаешься с ними, да и общаешься ли вообще.

    Но всё равно ставлю 10/10, поскольку игра принесла огромные эмоции. Ибо даже сейчас я не могу отойти от них, и всё ещё хочу перепройти, чтобы получить другую концовку.    … Expand

    O maior """erro""" Life is Strange 2 é que eles ousaram na hora de escrever a história. A gente simpatiza mais com a Max e a Chloe porque a história delas é mais realista, são apenas duas meninas adolescentes com problemas de adolescente (tirando a parte do super poder, óbvio) e é mais fácil de se indentificar com isso. Já o Sean e o Daniel sofrem com problemas mais pesados, também são dois adolescentes só que dessa vez estão sendo procurados pela polícia do país todo, e isso é bem mais incomum (fora todos os outros problemas).

    (Edit at the end)

    First impression after finishing.
    So much unnecessary suffering. This game threw at you a bunch of choices and all the outcomes are horrible.

    And after I tried to be the best possible brother Daniel decided to leave me behind!!! Give me a break.

    There is no way to improve the fate of the brothers throughout this game. I enjoyed some parts like the reunion with Karen but then, it had the feeling it did not matter what Sean did, if he tried to be a good brother, or if he tried to obey rules at the end he was beaten, hit, lost his eye. And Daniel was so insufferable for more than 50% of the game.

    Oh! and those bigots at the border, that was so unnecessary, it's like the game is trying to make a point of why it's bad to be a racist bigot, but IDK, it came across in a very cheesy and pushy way.

    This game makes you feel things, and most of them are horrible things

    I gave it a 5 because I still appreciate some parts of the game but for a story-based game, this story was not my thing.

    (Edit, a few days after finishing)

    Actually, the more days pass the more I come to like the game and the more I understand what the authors were trying to convey. I still believe there were better ways to transmit some of the messages.
    Nevertheless, this was a brave game, a great improvement in writing and graphics from the previous one. And also I appreciate the Daniel morality compass affecting the ending.

    I saw all the other endings and I must say that I am satisfied with the ending I got.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's so odd to me that people have rated this game as low as they did; I suspect that long time fans aren't happy with the direction the game took, but speaking as a long time fan of the original games and it being the game that originally got me into PC gaming, I prefer Life is Strange Two by a wide margin. Sean as a character seems to be more realized than Max and Chloe- or rather, more human- and not to mention, the choices are a lot more meaningful and have a significant influence on the course of the story. There was significantly more excitement and depth in each of the episodes, with episode four being the highlight of the series. Going beyond the high school environment in LIS, this game deals with violence, xenophobia, religion, brotherhood, and speaks on unfortunately still relevant political issues as it concerns inequality.

    Please don't let the reviews deter your experience playing this game; they are wholly inaccurate and based solely on dogmatic allegiance to only the classics and not accepting improvement upon them. It's the same issue that tanked the Last of Us 2 despite it being an incredible game dealing with the nature of revenge and the cycle of violence. Some of the "critiques" I read was that it was leftist propaganda (which makes me question if they played the first game) and that it lacked character development- despite the minor, minor detail that a significant function of the game is shaping your brother to be moral and immoral depending on your actions. Also the critique that Sean did not have character development in spite of the entire game being based on a forceable transition to maturity to protect and value family above all else, to become similar to the father he lost. It honestly just convinces me that these people read that it commentated on immigration issues and decided from then forth to hate the game without actually playing it.

    As much as I hold the original story dear to my heart, Life is Strange Two is a more mature, well rounded version of its successor. Unfortunately, LIS's status as a cult classic for whatever reason makes the general user consensus more aversive- but undeservingly, and it almost makes me wonder if the people in the comments even played the game with an open attitude. Overall, I found it to be a significant improvement in its choices, characters, themes, and general gameplay.    … Expand

O jogo segue o mesmo esquema de impacto dos anteriores, sem grandes mudanças na jogabilidade e mecânicas, apenas com a retirada da mecânica de viagem no tempo, e nenhuma coloca em cima, o que deixou o jogo mais pobre.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No jugué este juego con ninguna expectativa y sinceramente se ha convertido en uno de mis juegos favoritos. Durante todo el juego estuve pensando en aspectos que me han gustado más que en la primera entrega. Empezando por los personajes, Sean y Daniel fueron muy entrañables para mi, creo que el punto es que logres empatizar con las dificultades que tienen que pasar los hermanos, la cuales impactan en su evolución, pues si comparo a los protagonistas del primer capitulo con los del ultimo, se puede ver un gran cambio, se vuelven personajes más maduros y se fortalece aun más esa relación de hermanos que tanto amé (dependiendo de la partida de cada uno)
    El apartado de las decisiones es muy importante, ya sea en el habla o al actuar que elijas para Sean, esto se quedará con Daniel, dando a entender que todo lo que hagas si importa en la trama. Es cierto que el juego no deja muy claro la dinámica de las decisiones, pero si tengo que sacar algo positivo de esto, es que sentí mis decisiones aun más reales, pues no tuve este factor comiéndome la cabeza y posiblemente hubiera terminado con una partida menos sincera, pero esto es solo algo personal.
    Los demás personajes se me hacen demasiado interesantes, y llegué a sentir mas cariño por muchos de ellos en comparación a la primera entrega (pero claro, esto es algo personal) a pesar de aparecer por poco tiempo, cada uno impacta en Sean y Daniel, y no están ahí porque sí, cada uno puede dejar un pedazo de ellos con lo cual van a formar como personas a los protagonistas, ejemplos como Brody o los vagabundos, ellos adentran a los protagonistas a una nueva vida y maneras de enfrentarla.
    Otro aspecto que me emociona mucho es el viaje que atraviesan y como podemos ver variados escenarios. A mi en lo personal me aburre que siempre se tenga que estar en un lugar fijo y no tengamos cosas nuevas, el que se ambiente cada episodio en un escenario diferente me mantuvo aún mas enganchado, sé que es un aspecto que no a muchos les gusta, pero como alguien a quien le encantan los viajes y vivir experiencias nuevas de forma constante en los juegos, es perfecto.
    Muchos de los diálogos de los personajes impactaron tanto en mi, siento que vi un mundo nuevo y vidas nuevas, pues al ser de "un viaje en carretera" pude sentir una curiosidad inmensa por lo que tenían para ofrecerme, logrando que sintiera toda una aventura.
    La banda sonora es perfecta, no tengo ninguna queja, cada vez que la escucho siento que me adentro en este universo de nuevo.
    No sé como explicar todas la sensaciones que brindó este juego en mi, pero me sentí tan conectado con la historia que me dio un gran vació a la hora de terminarla, casi como si yo hubiera vivido los momentos con ellos. Definitivamente para algunas personas puede convertirse en una experiencia más que en un simple juego.
    No trato de decir que el juego es perfecto (tampoco busco esto para que así merezca una calificación de 10) o que no puede tener cosas que mejorar o cosas que pudieron ser de otra forma, pero algunas de estas pasan a ser necesidades personales que no afectan a gran escala mi sentimientos por este titulo, por esta razón para mi es un 10, ya que consiguió quedarse conmigo por mucho tiempo, llevo meses sin dejar de pensar en este titulo y daría mucho por jugarlo como la primera vez. Definitivamente no todos vamos a coincidir, muchas cosas van a ir a una opinión personal, pero que eso no afecte en tu propia experiencia. Creo que este titulo debería tener más apoyo y no ser opacado solo por su primera entrega, que en primer lugar no van de lo mismo y es una historia muy distinta, así que no veo por qué compararlas.
    Sobre el tema de ser muy político, eso no afectó en ningún momento a mi experiencia y solo me hizo empatizar más como alguien que es de un país hispano, puesto que los temas que tocan no son descabellados y se llevan con madures, principalmente con el racismo, pues se ve tan fuerte como lo es en la vida real. En fin, yo recomendaría mucho este juego e invitar a que lo jueguen para formar su propia historia y reflexión.    … Expand

The graphics and visuals of the game are absolutely stunning, and Square Enix knows it. There are multiple points in the game where it seems to explicitly say to you "Hey I'm being visually impressive right now, notice me please!", and I do - every time. There are some interesting mini-games and mechanics in between the walking-simulator gameplay and dialogue options that conspicuously fail at convincing you that these characters are real-life teens. If you are into calm, unconfrontational type story games, then this is your cup of tea. The main pitfall of Life is Strange 2 is the story - it falls flat on multiple occasions which sadly includes the anti-climactic ending. Had things wrapped up less predictably, I would have really loved this game.

    I think the main problem is people keep comparing Life is Strange 2 to Life is Strange 1, which is unfair as the purpose, tone, and narrative content is completely different. I believe this is a perfectly competent game to binge-play over a weekend, so if you ever see it on sale, you should totally check it out.    … Expand

    I think it is great . It was very emotional and i nearly cried at the end.

    Great game, fantastic music, very detailed and deep characters... but not for rednecks.

    I really enjoyed the story and the characters in this game. The morality system was a pretty good idea and i liked how it affected the story. Yes i think Life is Strange 1 is better than 2 , but 2 is still worth to play.

    Low score reviews are based on the experience after first part of Life is Strange. I complete this game like a new one without first game and it was unforgettable story about two brothers and their path to the another country.

    奇异人生2是电子游戏中最好的故事之一。它处理了很多问题，并优雅地处理了所有这些问题。它令人感动、令人回味、温暖和令人心碎。你做出的每一个选择不仅对你很重要，对你周围的人也很重要。迪亚兹兄弟的旅程是你绝对需要走的。

    What a story! I really loved the two brothers adventures with the telekinesis and drama. The first two games were quite a blast, they had fantasy written in them.

    Life is strange2 seems very excellent and the actors i cant think how else it would be if they were different. The story at start puts your emotion to journey with Sean and Daniel i did thought Sean would also have a power for the player to control but no.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Life is Strange 2 доволи неплохая игра с необыкновенным, но вполне хорошим сюжетом. Поскольку я фанат Life is Strange 1 (Before the Storm), мне было печально узнать что в Life is Strange 2 будут новые персонажи и история. Но все же, я решил попробовать сыграть в эту игру и ни капли не пожалел.
    *Сюжет мне понравился. Драма и интерес нарастает по ходу вашего прохождения.
    *Персонажи становятся сильнее, и взрослеют с каждым эпизодом. Шон будет меняться по вашим выборам, а Даниэль будет меняться по выборам Шона. И мне это даже очень понравилось.
    *Графика вполне на среднем уровне. Разве что немного темноватая, но вполне хорошая и приятная для глаза.
    Не знаю почему, но пожалуй в этой части мне сильно не понравился дневник в котором Шон делает заметки по ходу сюжета (не считая рисунков). Как будто что-то и похоже на дневник, в нем есть текст описывающий сам сюжет и эмоции Шона в тот момент. И все это в перемешку с однотипными комиксами и рисунками.
    Ну и иногда в игре я видел баги. Их конечно было не много, но все же они были.
    В Life is Strange 2 пожалуй много плохих отзывов, поскольку эта часть не была продолжением Life is Strange 1. Хотя в игре есть один момент в 5 эпизоде, когда там был Дэвид, и также фотографии Макс и Хлои. Мне как фанату первой части, было очень приятно.
    Не могу сказать что данная часть понравиться каждому. Скорее всего как на любителя. Но все же, мне игра понравилась.    … Expand

    Anyone that enjoyed the original Life is Strange and opted not to give a chance to this sequel should reconsider right away. The story may not deliver the same impact or suspense, but this is a poignant narrative that many should find a degree of relatability to, with extremely likeable characters in the form of Sean and Daniel. With the full season discounted often and a new game on the horizon, this is a great time to journey south with the Diaz brothers.

    Different from its predecessor, Life is Strange 2 brings more political themes to the table. Protagonist Sean’s little brother Daniel has supernatural powers, but is too young to distinguish between good and evil, and it is up to the player how you want to guide him. While interesting in theory, this results in a gameplay experience based almost entirely on making decisions, and supernatural elements are not put into use as cleverly as in the original Life is Strange. This makes Life is Strange 2 feel like it lacks focus, because most of its political themes are not fleshed out enough, and the ones that do work don’t really need supernatural elements in the first place.

    A refined followup with a totally new cast to fall in love with. You should absolutely play Life Is Strange 2. But you might want a box of tissues ready for the ending. [Issue#171, p.85]
