    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.

    This game was a disappointment. I mean, it's not a disaster but I was expecting the most from Life Is Strange. It 's still an 8. But this chapter has disappointed me, weak story, and characters you do not care at all, I hope that with the 3 chapter the saga will recover.

    Docela dobrý díl i když s naprosto strašným začátkem a dosti přehnaným koncem. Life is Strange 2 je opět příjemná adventura v prostředí mladých lidí a ukázkou toho jak malá hloupost člověka může život obrátit v mžiku vzhůru nohama.

    Příběh bratrů je od začátku divný a za celou dobu jsem k nim nedokázal najít cestu. Oproti předchozímu dílům zde chybí takový ten feel, kde jste si ihned několik postav mohli zamilovat a navázat s nimi, to vše podtrhuje fakt, že jste stále s bratry na cestě a nikoho nového vám hra ani nedá šanci moc poznat. Příjemné je propletení s ostatními díly ve stroyline.. to ale někdo neznajíc stejně neocení.
    Vše při starém a prvnímu dílu se nejde vyrovnat.    … Expand

    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.

    Fantastic game.

    Voice acting, music, atmosphere, the slow build-up. It dares what few games dares to do.

    Very poor game, almost comical at times. The game kept all of the problems of the first game while losing anything that made it great: boring power, road trip feel, unlikeable main two characters who are incredibly frustrating.

    Life is Strange 2 was definitely a really good game. The only issues I personally had were that you didn't have any powers, and some scenes were unnecessary and long.

Unfortunately, the phenomenal plots and mysteries from the previous parts are missing, here the story is much simpler, although it contains supernatural elements.

    Slabije od prvog dela, ali opet sasvim dovoljno za jednu nedelju opuštanja uz ovu igru. Nažalost nedostaju fenomenalni zapleti i misterije iz prethodnih delova, ovde je priča dosta jednostavnija iako sadrži natprirodne elemente. Pojedini opcije u izborima u igri nisu pametno odabrane i potpuno su nelogične. Praktično teraju igrača da bira najmanje glupu odluku. Previše politike ugurano u igru.

O jogo começa muito mal, por não apresentar melhor personagens como o Esteban e a Lyla, e por desenrolar o começo de um jeito meio chato senti falta da Lyla durante o jogo, acho que deveriam desenrolar uma relação entre ela e o Sean durante o jogo, e apresentar melhor o Esteban que é muito carismatico, a gameplay é um pouco chata mas a historia é boa, a musica é muito boa assim como no primeiro jogo no geral o jogo não é ruim, nem bom, só mediano

    Quizá en algunos tramos el argumento no termina de encajar, haciendo que tome giros poco lógicos, pero el carisma de todos los personajes que conoceremos a lo largo de la aventura se abre camino para transmitir una historia que llega al corazón.

    La vida no es extraña. Es solo una historia humana.

    Max and Chloe (and Rachel)'s story was beautiful, it made you cry, it made you shocked, it made you angry (for the right reasons) with bad guys. In this I just hated pretty much everything about it. Mainly Daniel to be honest, he was single handedly the most annoying character in a game for a long time.
    Also the ending (or at least the one I got) was just nothing.
    The only reason I gave this a 2 not a 0 was I enjoyed the bit with Sean and Cassidy, other than that... Just no. Biggest dissapointment of 2019 (that's when i played the whole thing anyway).    … Expand

    While this game never reached the heights of the first, it is never a waste of your time.

For example, no matter how many good choices you make in episode 3, you’ll get confronted by Merrill. The good choices don’t feel as natural on Sean who’s just an average teen brother. Max was a thoughtful person while Sean is arrogant. But those choices gave me a meh ending. Unlike the SC ending of the previous game, this felt like none of the characters problems were resolved and I barely thought of it afterwards. I still enjoyed the game but I’m glad iplayed it on game pass.… Expand

The story is deep, serious, and gets you hooked. The characters are made well, and have lots of personality, and the acting has tremendously improved. And though the game slips a bit with this, they have stopped cringe-worthy dialogue. Choices actually matter! We have 4 amazingly different endings that felt natural to the heart pounding choices you made.
    We also need a bit of cons.
    This is a road travel game, so each episode you find yourself in a different location. As soon as you get hooked with characters from one episode, the next one they are gone, with only a letter to update you on them. Also, I hated the constant political references. When I got numb to the offensive remarks, it just got annoying. Also, the demeaning religion references were offending to me. The guy tries to make white people the bad guys, and I found that stereo type rude, un-called for, and annoying.
    Overall, a great game that would be near perfect without the political and religious crap the game shoves into your face. Solid B+    … Expand

    Has its very strong moments, but has sometimes huge logical drops. I liked most of the characters. The initial option on how Life is Strange 1 was ended was bugged, the game playad as i choosed the other ending. I have also Experienced some ugly texture popups. Still worth to play.

    A definite improvement over the first Life is Strange game. Much deeper story, much better characters (no whining schoolgirls, thank god!) and nicer HDR graphics. 2 points down for the political/PC agenda/indoctrination attempts...

    Don't bother with this game if you have expectations of a well made story , all of your choices are almost meaningless. Sure there are slight variations but you'll quickly just end up back where the story wants you to be.
    The game also fails horribly at trying to be political propaganda with many logical gaps.
    The plot is boring and feels too railroaded. What little choices are left to the player have consequences that often make poor sense , giving a persistent sense of frustration. Topics are delivered in quite an heavy handed way and many plot holes are never covered.

    A large portion of the game consists of cutscenes and tons of meaningless dialogs combined with boring gameplay.

    I honestly do not think I have ever been more disappointed in a video game before. I really wish I could rewind the time and get my money back...
    This game should be renamed to "Don't Buy Me"

    The original "Life is Strange 1" and "Life is Strange: Before the Storm" were great games with decent amounts of content and gameplay which brought you into the game world and left you invested into the characters.

    Techniquement, c'est très lisse et à peine acceptable, sans aucune évolution ni progrès depuis le premier qui remonte déjà à quelques années... immobilisme quand tu nous tiens ! l'interface est toujours mal foutue et les voix ne sont qu'en anglais.

    J'appelle pas ça un jeu mais un mauvais roman aux choix bidons et à l'eau de rose tout droit sorti de la collection Harlequin et de la bit-lit, la littérature pour ados dont on se sert pour s'essuyer le fion et les pieds mais pas nécessairement dans cet ordre.    … Expand

    The game started the good way, a nice and deep story about a dude and his little brother getting in a journey spectating the freedom in the wild gringo country. But tbh, the latest episode (faith) makes the game barely boring, has a nice story but it just make the game weaker. I really hope that the last episode will break the standards that the last episodes of this game have been bringing us
