Life is Strange: Episode 2 - Out of Time does not have as much of an impact as the first episode, with critics noting the gameplay is lacking and the majority of the plot this episode moving the plot along, it is another strong entry in the series and leaves the player wanting more at the end.

Critic Reviews for Life is Strange: Episode 2 - Out of Time
Life Is Strange remains an excellent game for those who like choice and consequence games, though the gameplay in the second episode is a little lackluster. As seemingly small choices you made in Episode One come back to haunt you—such as the decision to erase something on a white board or little comments you might make—you get the sense that your choices really matter in a way they don't in many other games that include choices. This is Max's life, and though she may rewind and change it, the choices she makes will still impact the way the story goes.
Bad writing and VO hurt Life is Strange Episode 2, but an amazing ending makes it all worth it.
While the second episode is flawed, I'm still invested in these characters and curious how things will turn out
Life is Strange still suffers from some problematic dialogue and "gamey" sequences, but the emotional payoff is worth the effort.
People are going to talk a lot about the big plot points in Life is Strange, and the second episode will give them plenty to dig into.
Improves on what made episode one so great, while adding a bigger, more impacting story.
Complimented by an incredibly powerful ending that could have worked on its own as the season finale, even in only its second episode the tides are turning. Dark forces are on the horizon and new threats are appearing, yet Life is Strange is only growing brighter.
Life Is Strange promised to explore mature and realistic themes from the start, and this second episode continues to do so even amidst the sci-fi trappings of time manipulation. Aside from a few miscued points here and there with pacing or the game's general presentation, this builds upon the first episode and draws you further into its tangled web of mystery.
