Life is Strange 2 is good adventure, with a story about growing up, moral challenges and society issues. The roadtrip character of the narrative offers a great variety of sceneries but also comes with a lot of problems like lackluster side characters.

Hot take but Life is Strange 2 is the best in the franchise, It has it's flaws such as side characters being non-existent but I think it helps to show that the brothers are on their own growing their bond. Story is a bit longer than what I wanted but it's very good, goofy at times. I highly suggest playing this game. (Can't wait for LiS4)

I love the first iteration of the game with Max and Chloe but this game got me the most. It made me emotionally hooked up to the story that I can't let go of the series once the final episode played out. Every episode just captures the essence of every decision you make in this game. It kept me on my seat and it's a roller coaster of emotions for sure. I don't think I'll ever recover from the emptiness it left me. Life is Strange 2 is one hell of a journey and I would love to play it over and over again for the first time. 10/10 experience. "So... how does the story of the wolf brothers end?"

In the previous installment, LIS 1, I sacrificed everything for you, attempting to mend a shattered reality through my choices and power. Each decision was a desperate effort to restore what had been lost. In LIS 2, however, my choices and power begin to tear apart the very fabric of a once-beautiful everyday life. What was once an effort to heal has now become a catalyst for destruction. Life is really strange... 삶이란 참 묘해.
