It’s not always comfortable to watch, but it’s a journey well worth taking for fans of the series, and narrative-driven experiences in general.

A good narrative adventure, less impactful than the first Life is Strange, but a great message.

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.

Living in America as a kid with brown skin has never been harder, or more frightening, and Life Is Strange 2 is a harsh primer in that fact. Nevertheless, there’s light and beauty in this journey, as this is a game that values the boundless hope of the two young men at its center, and without invalidating America’s darkness.

Dontnod revisits their universe with a narrative-heavy video game filled with difficult choices and supernatural powers. This time, though, they show courage by distancing themselves from the story of the original game and by discussing complicated themes. Complex, political and with a powerful message, everybody should play Life is Strange 2.

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.

Life is Strange 2 portrays events vigorously, exposing contemporary social problems in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable. The story of the Diaz brothers is more humane, tough, mature and certainly realistic. You may not fall in love with it like the first game, but its definitely an experience worth living. <br />
