Life is Strange 2

so sooo amazing, lis 1 was good but this was on a whole other level

This was such a relatable game and that's what made it so amazing

Love the entirety of the series, but lis2 is quite unique (playing it for the second time after years). Different bonding, different emotions, different consequences. To anyone dealing w grief, trust me this game is gonna hit that part hard.......{SPOILER} WHOEVER TF DECIDED NOT TO GIVE US A "Take Finn with you" FROM THE HOSPITAL OPTION, COUNT YOUR DAMN DAYS, IMMA FIND YOU.

I've seen a lot of people hate on this game. So much to the point they call it a "liberal" game, and then list all of the reasons it's bad. Their reasoning is them listing every good thing about the game. So many people hate how this game touched on political aspects and sexual identity. LIS has always had queer representation and some form of political representation. I'm beginning to think those ignorant people played the games with their eyes closed. You can't be racist or homophobic, or both at the same time, and then act like you understand the meanings of the games. Anyways, this game is absolute gold; I recommend it to anyone smart enough to understand it.

Life is Strange 2 gets way more hate than it ever deserved. A lot of people bounced off it purely because it wasn’t Max and Chloe again, or because the story leaned into heavier real-world ♥♥♥♥ instead of time-rewinding teen drama. That reaction always felt lazy. The game isn’t trying to be a sequel in the same mold, and once you stop holding it up against the first one it actually breathes on its own imo. What it does best is the relationship between Sean and Daniel. Watching that little brother dynamic evolve across the road trip, protectiveness turning into something more complicated, the way Daniel’s power slowly changes how they both see the world. It feels genuinely lived-in even though it does feel exaggerated at some point with all the political stuff it puts in, honestly it feels more relevant today with current political events happening in the US. The quiet moments hit harder than the big set pieces, sitting around a campfire, arguing about stupid stuff, the weight of every decision settling in over days instead of minutes. The environments sell the journey too. From the forest to the desert to those dusty towns and communities, it actually feels like you’re moving throu…

I really wanted to like Life is Strange 2, and for the first few episodes I tried to play it the way these games are supposedly meant to be played: blind, making choices based on what felt right instead of Googling every decision. Whelp- I regret that. The game hides crucial morality and relationship systems behind choices that often feel completely arbitrary. I tried to be a good big brother to Daniel- protecting him, keeping his powers hidden, setting boundaries, and making reasonable decisions in dangerous situations... only to repeatedly feel punished because those choices apparently weren’t the “correct” ones according to an invisible scoring system. Worse, the story relies far too heavily on trauma for drama. Sean is put through an almost absurd amount of suffering, and eventually the emotional moments stopped feeling earned and just became exhausting. There are genuinely great characters, performances, and moments here, but by the end I wasn’t emotionally moved- I was, frankly, frustrated and ready for it to be over. If your choices are going to matter this much, the game should've done a much better job communicating what you’re actually teaching Daniel. And not re…
