The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit Reviews
Captain Spirit is an absolute must experience for those who enjoy a heart-filled narrative.
A complete, free prelude to Life is Strange 2 that has us ready for more.
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.
Captain Spirit does well balancing itself as a clear setup for Life is Strange 2, while also functioning well as a standalone tale. Fans of the series will love how the storytelling mechanics have evolved from the first game, while general adventure game fans should enjoy the multiple dialogue choices, the greater emphasis on inventory, and the numerous puzzles scattered throughout the house.
[The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is] a fun adventure with an emotional narrative, interesting characters and relationships.
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?
Whether you continue the story in Life is Strange 2 or not, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit can, and will, give you an emotional trip down memory lane. It works perfectly as a stand-alone product, but there's no doubt that it's leading into something even better. We don't know exactly where its sequel is headed, but the clues paint a picture I can't wait to see.
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 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.

The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is the great return of Dontnod into the Life is Strange franchise. It' s lovely, well crafted, and touching as usual (and it's also renewed in graphics).

Other shortcomings found in the sometimes-clunky writing and overly scripted emotional moments can feel unearned or sloppy. But the spirit and charm found in the surprise-hit Life is Strange is certainly here in The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit.
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.

If Dontnod has created this mere prologue for the single purpose of hyping the 2nd season of Life is Strange, then I must say that they've done a pretty decent job. This short but rewarding experience has given us a proper outlook of what to expect from Life is Strange 2 and prepared us for the next set of the strangest events life has to offer
