    The supernatural collides with reality under the guise of radical religion in a way that feels too cliche, but spending more time with Sean and his confidants remains a delight. Whether you're heading into the final episode in much the same place you were at the beginning--or under the chilling implications of a certain late game choice--watching Daniel wrap his arms around Sean in either circumstance exemplifies what makes the series work so well. Your Sean can be kind or standoffish, thieving or righteous, but your actions don't change the love and adoration between the Diaz brothers--and that love is still the heart and soul of Life Is Strange 2.

    Life is Strange 2: Episode 4 is a disappointment that comes after a great third episode. We feel that we are dealing with a common story where our decisions are not important and we don't have different options to choose from. The characters fall short again with clichés and topical scenarios.

    Episode 4 has some truly engaging moments, but the issues that have plagued earlier episodes persist. By now, it’s likely that only the diehards – those who forked out for a season pass – will see this through to the end.

    The fourth episode brings a welcome jolt of movement and energy, with an urgent pace and the introduction of a new, intriguing character. Some of the branching choices still feel shallow.

    Episode 4 of Life is Strange 2 is another disappointment.

    Episode 4 of Life is Strange 2 is another disappointment.

    Everything is filler in this episode, once again no decision matters, nothing has a lasting impact.
    Additionally, in this episode the little brother finally is openly reduced to the plot device. He was nothing more before, but now the devs do not even bother to hide it.

    The hamfisted politics are also back in this episode, our French virtue signaler threw in another encounter with random racists. But no one in their right mind can take those politically motivated scenes seriously. Even the main protagonists development is done away with.

    I can´t wait to see the characters die in the final episode, even though the devs clearly do not have the balls to do so.
