Going out with a bang.

Sean and Daniel's relationship truly resonated with me, and I'm sure due to its perfect encapsulation of that sibling relationship, it'll resonate with many many others in the same way. Life Is Strange 2 isn't some pleasant walk in the park, but a perilous slog across the country, staring adversity in the face and overcoming it in search of freedom and a fresh start. It's not always comfortable to...

As a story of family, specifically one of two brothers out to fend for themselves in a world that's out to get them, Life is Strange 2 is outstanding. It's a story that's helped greatly by some powerful performances by the game's voice cast, able to give weight to some of the story's more emotional moments and even able to make the most out of some of the cheesier dialogue. The art also feels like...

Life is Strange 2 isn’t re-writing DONTNOD’s rulebook when it comes to gameplay, but the tale being told this time around is a far bigger statement than their last. And it’s only just begun.

After a bit of stumbling with Episodes 2 and 3, the latest episode of Life is Stange 2 sets up for a memorable conclusion.

If you just can't get enough teen angst in your video games, Life is Strange is back to deliver another emotional story.

Life is Strange 2: Episode one is a good start to an interesting adventure. The beginning is terrible and the political statements feel forced, but the dynamic relationship between Sean and Daniel is relatable and enjoyable. Episode one has flaws, but I’m excited to see what happens next.

In the aftermath of a traumatic event, brothers Sean and Daniel Diaz are forced to flee their home in Seattle. As two wanted fugitives on the run from the law, the brothers have only each other as they make the longest journey of their lives to Mexico.

Life is Strange 2 is a worthy entry in the narrative series that improves upon the first game in meaningful ways with a story that's both thrilling and emotional. The gameplay hasn't changed much and we'd argue that some areas have a few too many objects to interact with, but the dialogue choices remain just as fun as ever. Bar some annoying load times on Switch and some visual hiccups, Life is St...

Dontnod's road trip sequel is far too focused on the finish line.

It feels like LIFE IS STRANGE 2 has been releasing slowly over the course of, excuse the pun, a lifetime. The first installment debuted in September 2018 and each progressive episode has trickled out many months after, killing the pacing and failing to spark a conversation along the way; two key failings of an episodic game. But now the full season is out and while that inherently solves some of t...
