The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit Reviews
The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit isn't a long game, and you'll probably take up to three hours at most if you really want to complete everything. The story, despite being on the short side, was warm and heartbreaking at the same time, and it all comes to a head when an epic ending reveal sets up what could be an impressive and unexpected springboard for the story in Life Is Strange 2.
The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is completely free so there is really no reason to pass it by. It tells a beautiful story and leads to what is sure to be another fascinating story.
The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is a quick thread which ties together the plot between Life is Strange and Life is Strange 2. We’re hoping we get to see more of Chris this September, because we definitely feel as if his story has yet to be concluded.
After Dontnod's ambitious but deeply flawed Vampyr, it's great to see them return to form with Captain Spirit. E3 is a whizbang explosion of PR hype for huge titles sporting adrenaline-pumping action. In the midst of all that, it was easy to miss Captain Spirit's heartfelt trailer about childhood wonder. But this free title is a must play.
rather enjoyed my time with The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. It’s essentially what you come to expect from Life is Strange condensed into a two-ish hour experience that isn’t going to cost you anything to play all the way to the end. It’s very obviously a prequel to something much bigger, and it ends a little abruptly which I found a little disappointing, as I was ready to play for another couple hours. What it has achieved is make me excited for LiS 2, more than I ever was before. I still have no real clue what the sequel might be, or how this plays into its story, but for now this was a touching experience I’m really appreciative of.
The only problem with Dontnod being so good at what they do is that, sometimes, they're a little too good.
The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is a mediocre adventure game, even though it's free-to-play. However, if you are a fan of Life is Strange series, it can very well serve as an appetizer for Life is Strange 2.

An intriguing taste for what's to come in Life is Strange Season 2. The series' formula shows its age here and there, but what shines, as ever, is sensitive writing, and an excellent setting.
Even though The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is more a Life is Strange 2's pre-purchase commercial than a decent complete game, it's cozy and satisfying to play because of great environmental storytelling, vivid characters, and interesting explore experience.

The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit doesn't require from you knowing Life is Strange, so it's a good starting point to this universe. Chris' likeability should hype you enough for the sequel.

Strong characters and environmental storytelling make The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit enjoyable overall. Despite the main objectives being underwhelming and the decisions seeming weightless, I became invested in the outcome of the story thanks to Chris' lovable sense of wonder against a well-painted dreary backdrop. Captain Spirit makes me optimistic about what's to come in Life is Strange 2.
Life Is Strange gets a major upgrade in terms of visuals and dialogue, but even with all-new characters the same charm and emotional heart shines through.
Despite some narrative clichés, the little prequel of Life is Strange 2 proves to be very effective in intensity and emotion.

The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is the endearing, heartbreaking tale of a kid who imagines himself to be a superhero. It's not very long at 2 hours tops, but Dontnod Entertainment uses this teaser for Life is Strange 2 to show they still have the stuff to tell a great story. Captain Spirit isn't really a complete story though and you'll leave this experience with more questions. Ones that will likely be answered in the next game.
The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is a good contribution to the world of Life is Strange, which works more than well as a prelude to a full-fledged sequel. Plus, it's completely free. What else could you want?

Dontnod didn't necessarily need to make The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, but I'm really glad that it did.
This small-scale game, in which you play a child roaming his house, shows how imagination makes the mundane magical
The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit are simply awesome. Fans of the series know exactly what to expect while newcomers are welcomed into this world of tragedy and whimsy. It's free and fun, what more do you want?
The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is a brief, but thought-provoking look into what awaits players when Life is Strange 2 begins its release on September 27.
A short but - most importantly - free episode taster for the upcoming Life is Strange 2, the adventures of Captain Spirit appear that they'll indeed, be awesome.
