Life is Strange 2 is one of the best stories in video games. It tackles a lot and handles all of it with grace. It’s emotional, evocative, heartwarming, and heartbreaking. Every choice you make matters not only to you, but also to those around you. The journey of the brothers Diaz is one you absolutely need to take.
Living in America as a kid with brown skin has never been harder, or more frightening, and the game is a harsh primer in that fact.

Life is strange2 seems very excellent and the actors i cant think how else it would be if they were different. The story at start puts your emotion to journey with Sean and Daniel i did thought Sean would also have a power for the player to control but no. My favourite characters is Sean, Daniel, Finn and Karen for favourite episodes i chose Episode1 Roads, Episode3 Wastelands and Episode5 Wolves. The endings was interesting but the one with Sean dead it looked sad. I am hoping they will make Sean and Daniel continue to make another life is strange game or be in other video games i would buy

While the first Life is Strange was a fantastic story that I felt stumbled to the finish line, Life is Strange 2 feels the opposite. It started rough and gradually grew into a strong tale of sibling's rasing one another. How they go about raising one another is ultimately up to you.
Life is Strange 2 takes the familiar formula and delivers it on a grander scale while tackling difficult topics across the USA. If you're playing it for the story, you won't be disappointed but don't expect much from the gameplay.
Different from its predecessor, Life is Strange 2 brings more political themes to the table. Protagonist Sean’s little brother Daniel has supernatural powers, but is too young to distinguish between good and evil, and it is up to the player how you want to guide him. While interesting in theory, this results in a gameplay experience based almost entirely on making decisions, and supernatural elements are not put into use as cleverly as in the original Life is Strange. This makes Life is Strange 2 feel like it lacks focus, because most of its political themes are not fleshed out enough, and the ones that do work don’t really need supernatural elements in the first place.
A game with noble intent without the skills to fulfill its potential, showing that sometimes life isn’t strange, but disappointing.
Great game, fantastic music, very detailed and deep characters... but not for rednecks.

My conclusion about "Life is Strange 2" is very positive. The in places gripping story with the real characters and also create a great atmosphere again and again. The characters are also simply interesting, but unfortunately the plot is bloated with unnecessary elements. Besides the story, there are also small but relatively simple puzzles. The technical implementation of the Switch version is good and could of course be a bit better. Nevertheless, fans of the series get a decent spin-off for the Switch.

I find this story really boring, especially comparing to previous games. Big disappointment. Forced myself to finish it.
