    As a big fan of the first game, I tried to forget the impact of it in order to not compare this one to it, which is probably why it has a wealth of negative reviews. 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

I am glad that I live in a time when such a talented company as DONTNOD does not focus on the story of Max and Chloe(in the future, they could make a mockery of the game, and so left it whole and perfect), and go on telling us more interesting stories of other people.After all, life is strange...… Expand

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. And if we talk about the minuses, then only 1 is a long episode release, you went through an episode and want to play a trail of courage. and FIG wait a month + -, it hits the atmosphere hard and you start to worry less about the actions and actions that you perform. 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.

    Отличное приключение для своего жанра. Так называемые многими "политизированность" отлично вписывается в игру и не выходит за рамки чего-то сверхъестественного. Здесь это основа сюжета и поднятых многих социальных проблем, которые стали намного глубже, чем в первой части. Мир показан реальным.

    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

I also preferred the emphasis on brothers sticking together to get to a safe haven to a whiny dweeb using her powers to work things to her favors and to patch a one sided friendship. Here’s hoping the third game blends the best elements of this game with the best elements of the first game. Namely the more engaging story and better gameplay mechanics of the first game with the better characters and better bond between them from this game.

    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

    Something different from the first part, but a family-focused game describing a bond between brothers is a pretty neat idea. It had it's ups and downs, but I had enjoyed playing it. Wouldn't do it again, but it's cool to know that your choices actually matter and will shape the possibilities at the end.

    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

Eu não esperava que Life is Strange, fosse se tornar uma franquia "stand-alone" onde tivesse personagens com poderes em cada um deles, mas até que ficou interessante, porém, entender esse universo será bem complicado, desde o início não explicou o motivo dos poderes da protagonista do primeiro jogo, e agora enfiou poderes em um garoto aleatório. 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. Entretanto o maior problema desse jogo está na história, que está mais para uma novela mexicana do que para um jogo eletrônico, faltou trabalhar melhor os personagens e com certeza evitar a lacração exagerada!… Expand

You can only get to make some choices and sometimes you feel that you will end up with the same consequences whatever your choices are. A part from this, the argument and characters are just American stereotypes that some people will like but I don't. Having played until chapter 4 (because as I said they don't let you play the final chapter), I would have rated this game with a 6 (or at least not more than a 7). Far worse than the first Life is Strange. The best chapter is the first one, then it kind of gets boring because, although sometimes is interesting it feels also like a movie. You can play this game but have in mind all that I have said.… Expand

    I still liked the game, despite being my least favorite Life is Strange game. Being on the move was exciting in its own way, as you constantly explore new locations. I was not a fan of babysitting Daniel all the time. However, I was pleased with the chosen ending, it brought a nice closure.

    Good stuff:
    - gorgeous locations and lighting, really brings the environment to life
    - the choices are generally good, at times I really had to stop and think about which one to choose - Daniel is likeable enough and I do care about him throughout their journey - side characters are also not as bad as I expected - there are a lot of details and back stories for you to sink in, that's    Good stuff:

    Bad stuff:
    - episode 4 is such a frustrating disappointment. It's like all the good choices you made regarding your relationship with Daniel in the previous episodes didn't matter. Although the plot did imply that Daniel had been brainwashed but that's just lazy writing. Also, the Reverend Mother is probably the post poorly written character in the whole game, one bad cliché after another
    - the game wants to be politically correct but doesn't have the balls to call the issue as it is: racism. Just say it FFS. It's so awkward and cringy and unnatural to hear them trying everything they can to describe "racism" but somehow refuse to use the actual term
    - the voice acting is bad. Daniel sounds like he is always on the brink of burst out crying, it gets old really quickly. And everyone speaks like they just learn English, too many stops, like "I wish, I could, see you, one more, time, I really, hope, so". Seriously???? They talk like this all the time. Not sure if it's an artistic decision or the scriptwriter put too many commas in every sentence
    - there are a few times when I felt like my decisions had no impact at all (even though the game strongly implied that they did)    … Expand

    I played and loved LiS1 and yes I gave this game a fair chance but in the end I have to admit that I found it most of the time boring with less interactions slow pacing and a lot decisions felt un-inspired. Probably if you didnt play LiS1 you wont stumble upon these things and might like LiS2.

Probably if you didnt play LiS1 you wont stumble upon these things and might like LiS2. The story itself has some potential but was for me at points very annoying and too much stacked with SJW plots. Also the whole story felt like a great depression that got bigger and bigger each episode which was no fun at all for me.

    For the positive things, the game lets you choose and it has impacts, but some decisions can be very irritating because what you read and what happens does not always corresponds. Sometimes characters act different to how they reacted before which is sometimes also irritating a lot. I also did not enjoy the huge plot around smoking and drugs, after all this is also a kids game and I personally felt it was way over-stretched. The overpowering use of SJW plots are stereotypes in general felt very overwhelming and at times it did not feel pure to what the DEVs possibly intended to achieve.

    The walking speed is very annoying in this title. Also some episode have next to no interactibles. Most of these have no use at all too. There is no world that elaborates with each episode it is more like each episode is a complete seperated slice of the story. You cannot get attached to characters because of that too.

    After all I feel sad but I would not recommend this game even on sale. I was just too bored and wanted it to be over. The story is not 100% bad but it is weirdly mixed with too many themes that do not fit together at all and feel like some stereotypical agenda that did not ring for me.    … Expand

    Life Is Missing.

    I say that because for some unknown reason Captain Spirit and Episode 5 are not on the disk. This is a very bewildering decision and the game must lose some review points for that. Now for the actual review. You are encouraged to play Captain Spirit first. While I found the young Captain to be very likeable and meek with his vivid imagination, his chapter is    Life Is Missing.

    You are encouraged to play Captain Spirit first. While I found the young Captain to be very likeable and meek with his vivid imagination, his chapter is extremely inane and monotonous with the tasks required to progress. I ended up playing half of it and just skipping forward to the full game.

    LIS2 is split into 5 chapters, quite arbitrarily it seems. The graphics feel very familiar if you have played the previous games and I appreciate the somewhat cell-shaded approach like a manga. It really helps that the environment tends to be highlighted well to show where interactions can happen. What bewilders me is the unfriendly layout of the backpack. I guess this is an attempt to make it feel authentic, but I prefer a simple list of items rather than the scattergraph presented when I open the backpack.

    The gameplay is also mostly the same mechanics we have seen in previous games. This game adds back in a supernatural element and this can attract or deter people subjectively. For me, I appreciated it as it added an extra flavour to the game, one I felt was lacking in the previous instalment and also not as repetitive as the time-travel mechanic from the first game.

    An annoying aspect of the game is occasionally being left with no direction, however exploration is a key element of the game so this may be another subjective gripe. Captain Spirit in particular irked me in this regard. The game follows a largely linear path and this is positive, as the slow movement of our character means that exploration can be slow.

    The story, unlike many modern games, is the bread and butter of Life Is Strange. The premise of the story left me sceptical as I couldn't understand why they ran away from home in the first place when the cop shot the father. However the story develops well and I particularly liked the nods to previous games, although a tad cliche. I found that despite supernatural elements it was an authentic story, dealing with prejudice and bigotry especially towards the end. I feel that the road trip approach was taken to avoid the scholarly and domestic themes from the previous games, which may have been a wise choice.

    In summary, LIS2 attempts to chart its own course and identity. It achieves this to some degree but also highlights the familiar formula of the series by now. The first game really enamoured me with its originality, however after two further games I grow weary of the formula and am very curious as to how Colours (the next game) will follow on from this.

    Just in case I didn't emphasise it enough, having episode 5 as a voucher in the case and not on the disk was a ridiculous move.    … Expand

    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.

    I love the original game and to lesser extent, Before the Storm. I just really couldn't get into this game though. I'll admit I was a tad bitter about the game using new characters at first, but I decided to treat this game as "it's own thing" rather than a sequel to a pre-existing series.

    I just don't find Sean interesting/relatable enough for me to continue playing past what I did. I guess that's mostly what a narrative/choice-making game comes down to that being how you connect with the character of which you are using.

    The game makes the word bigger by exploring multiple different states to get to Mexico but doing this actually makes the world seem smaller. There is a reason why the original focused on only Arcadia Bay and most games of this nature and media focus on a few areas.

    I wanted to actually go to the party in Episode 1 and meet all of these classmates of Sean's. But, instead it's a lot more empty with usually just Daniel to interact with.

    This game almost feels as though they tried to make the exact opposite of the original game in a way. In the original game you're female, go through high school, stay within your town, and are the one with the powers. In this game you're male, skip high school, go everywhere, and your aren't the one with the powers.

    And that's another thing to the powers, telekinesis this time instead of the ability to rewind time. Your brother, Daniel is the one with the powers not you. That was a big problem of mine as well. If I'm supposed to be Sean then am I supposed to be jealous of not having these powers?

    Telekinesis would be awesome to just randomly pick up things whilst interacting with them in a game like this or it would have at least been something I haven't seen before. I would say make Daniel the main character but he is just 9 and a tad annoying. Maybe Chris would have worked better as the main character?

    This game is also a tad salty torwards the original game sometimes almost as if Dontnod (or someone) was fed up with people asking for a sequel.

    Either way I look forward to what Life is Strange has set in the future.    … Expand

    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

It is in no way like it's predecessor, it fails to reach the same emotional highs and lows, but the general quality of experience has had an indisputable upgrade.

    The characters of Shaun and Daniel are complex and nuanced, depending on how you play. Despite some dodgy voice acting here and there, Gonzalo Martin and Roman Dean George portray brotherhood quite convincingly. 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

    Next time you should make the player spent more time with the charqcters you think he should care before cutting their contact of their life, like the first episode could ve been all about building these relationships and ending with that big problem... it would ve certainly made me care more about calling my "friend" wich i've seen about 5 minutes in the game more or less..    … Expand

    Pacing is really slow compared to the original, but the production quality is superior to Before the Storm. The story is not interesting enough to replay choices like the first one -- just watch the multiple endings on YouTube to save yourself the time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game isn't the worst I played but still so much just didn't make sense. Like how before Daniel knew their dad died he barely was concerned why they were out camping for days with no money or anything. I know he's a kid but if my older brother took me out camping and we were walking for 2 days I would definitely have some questions. He is 9 year old so he must understand something is wrong.
    At 1 point Daniel tells his brother to go away after all they had been through together? That is just complete trash. I know he didn't always agree with his brother but you wouldn't tell him to get lost because you wanna live with strangers you met a few weeks back after you spent months travelling together and how he gave up his life because he was worried about you both being separated.
    But it gets worse when Daniel is watching Sean getting beaten half to death. The building is burning down and filling up with smoke with embers falling from the ceiling and not 1 person coughs at all. The guy even pulls a gun out and starts hitting Sean with it. Daniel could use his power at any point. He says leave him alone but does nothing to prevent him from being hit. But 2 minutes before that he used his power to push Sean back? Why didn't he do the same to the guy that beating him to death? But just remember Daniel had his own mother walk out on him but was gonna do the same to Sean for someone he met a month ago? No I'm quite sure he would be less likely to. Also he has gone on about how he wants to see his mum throughout the hole game. When she turns up he's changed his mind and doesn't care anymore. If Sean couldn't sway his opinion then how the hell does a stranger manage to? This is the most pathetic failed attempt at a dramatic scene I have ever witnessed and I have sat through some bad movies/games. If Daniel was gonna tell Sean to leave you could have made it over something bigger then a small disagreement.
    It's like each episode was wrote by a different person and no one knew what each other was writing and then it was all thrown together. Also the decisions in this game didn't have as much of an impact as the 1st game which is 1 of the things that makes Life is Strange great is the big decisions and how they effect everything. There was a couple of times when you could choose something different but ultimately all outcomes were mostly the same.
    This is a fun game up until the halfway mark but I think the developers aren't as passionate about these games as they use to be when if that's the case they should move onto games they would enjoy creating more because care really shows in the art and game development is an art. I do really wanna see more of these games. True Colors was a good story but that also suffered with decisions making barely any difference. With respect the developer team should check out "Detroit become human" and see how the decisions in that game affect the overall plot. In that game every decision you make has a huge impact on the story and it even maps them all out for you so you know what choices you have made and which ones you never have.
    This is definitely the worst life is strange game out of all of them.    … Expand

    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. My favourite characters is Sean, Daniel, Finn and Karen for favourite episodes i chose Episode1 Roads, Episode3 Wastelands and Episode5Life is strange2 seems very excellent and the actors i cant think how else it would be if they were different.

The endings was interesting but the one with Sean dead it looked sad. I am hoping they will make Sean and Daniel continue to make another life is strange game or be in other video games i would buy… Expand

    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]
