ayaka Life is Strange 2 - Episode 5 : Wolves Review

when i thought the first lis game was heartbreaking, absolutely nothing could've prepared me for the heartache i endured in this game. back to back pain this entire series, its genuinely abnormal how it weighs down on me like an unshakable ache. the kind you wish to not carry because it becomes a part of you , like a splinter left in my heart, so small yet so profound of an effect, of an ache, of a shatter. it hurts to recall every moment in this game, the brotherly bond forged in the fires of a cruel world, watchinf them navigate through injustice, through what we call reality, the harshest reality it seems, where peace cannot coexist with justice? it makes me furiously upset at the universe. and at the directors lol. why is the world so devoid so unrelenting of a happy ending? they were just kids when all of this happened, mind you. the hurtful truth, is that theres no sugarcoating, theres no shying away. although this may be just a game, it is real life to some one else. its realistic in every aspect. love and sacrifice, where it really hurts. im haunted by the possible way it ends, im haunted by their soul deep resilience, by the impossible decisions we've been given in the unkindness of the world. its not just a story, rather its a reflection. it feels too real, which makes it unforgettable, unfathomable and maddening to comprehend. it feels like my chest is caving in when i think of it, of them. of sean and daniel. the wolf brothers till the end. this game may not be everyone's favourite in the series, but it sure is mine. one that'll stick for me forever, become apart of me, destroy me and make me whole again. ill never forget this bittersweet experience, although there are times i wish i never did. it is the most beautiful depiction of reality ive ever encountered. the story of the wolf brothers remain a piece in my broken heart, etched, forever.
