Life is Strange: Episode 2 - Out of Time Reviews
در نهایت Life is Strange: Episode 2 - Out of Time همان راه نسخه پیشین را ادامه داده و سعی در این داشته است که برخی ایرادات بخصوص ایرادات دیالوگ نویسی و ضعف های گیم پلی را در قسمت جدید برطرف کند . در ابتدای نقد نیز گفتم Life is Strange اثری نیست که محتوای بسیار بالا و قوی را به مخاطب ارائه دهد و ذهن شما را درگیر داستانی پیچیده کند بلکه به واقع تمرکز اصلی آن بر روی طبیعی سازی روابط انسانی حول دختری جوان و عکاس قرار دارد ، روابطی که اکثر آنها در زندگی بسیاری از ما نیز پیش می آید اما وجود استعداد بازگشت در زمان عاملی برای تجلی نام بازی در محتوای اثر شده است . بازی از لحاظ روابط بین کاراکترها تا حدی به بلوغ و پختگی رسیده است اما چالش بزرگتر ، ارائه محتوای قوی تر و البته بیشتر در کنار ارائه نقاط عطف داستانی است ، امری که بازی در ارائه آن ضعف دارد . از آنجایی که پیرامون اتفاقات پایان قسمت اول پرداختی صورت نگرفته و رویداد مهم پایان قسمت دوم نیز به آن اضافه شده می توان انتظار داشت این مشکل در قسمت آینده برطرف شود .

The soundtrack to episode two of Life is Strange really shines. . . the whole game is excellent at creating mood and feeling, and the music is the cherry on top
The writing is pretty bad, but the puzzles are improved and it has great set pieces.
A solid instalment into the series, that'll leave you on the edge of your seats. With a cast of in-depth characters, and a storyline which you aren't going to forget in a hurry, Life is Strange is one of the more unique games on the market today.
The ending is far away, but the journey thus far has been excellent, and so far Life is Strange is proving to be an experience no gamer should miss.
Out Of Time doesn't make the same impact that Chrysalis did, but it is just as good in every respect. Exploring more of Arcadia Bay and interacting with new characters made it feel like a real place that we could visit ourselves, just without the impending doom. We enjoyed exploring the new environments of the diner and the junkyard, as well as the new ways to use Max's power they introduced. Sadly the lip syncing issues haven't been ironed out and they do seem to be here to stay, but we hope the frame rate issues we experienced will be a case isolated to Out Of Time. All in all though, episode two is a fantastic follow up that expands both the gameplay and story of Chrysalis and takes it to a whole new level, where we can use Max's power in new ways and interact with characters in a different fashion. And now this leaves us and fans with the agonising wait for episode three.
The Telltale style, successfully applied to an original, supernatural coming of age story. It's now up to Dontnod to continue the fine quality over three more episodes.
Where the first episode applied some very basic foundations for the world and the characters, "Out of Time" really lets us explore the friendship these two girls share, even though they've been apart for so long.
Just as I felt after playing Life is Strange: Episode 1, I left the second episode wanting to dive right into the next chapter. Despite some completely out of place and unrealistic reactions to things, many of the characters still had that indie movie charm and relatability about them. The core gameplay, filled with tough choices, Max's snarky comments, and artsy music and visuals stays the same, which sits just perfectly with me. While Episode 2 doesn't feature that same magical feeling that the first episode exuded, it's still a must-buy.
Life is Strange Episode Two continues Max's adventure with an emotionally-charged plot and lush visuals
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.
Following through on the tone of the first episode, Life is Strange: Episode 2 - Out of Time features natural story and character progression with gravitas-laden decisions that will shape the future.
Improves on what made episode one so great, while adding a bigger, more impacting story.
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.
A solid second episode that meanders a little at first but has some of the most complex and thought-provoking moral decisions in any video game to date.
Life is Strange Episode 2 is where you start to truly witness and experience how the choices you make affect the story. The various possible outcomes and things to discover is what continues to make Life is Strange intriguing and leaves us wanting more. I just hope that this build-up of mysteries and secrets is used effectively and takes a turn for the best that will make the story even better and even possibly the best we've seen in a while. If you have come this far, there is no sense stopping now.
Life is Strange Episode 2: Out of Time is fairly entertaining but could have been even better if it could have maintained the urgency and direction of the last thirty minutes. If you have played the first episode then it's worth giving Episode 2 a playthrough.
Time has never traveled more smoothly
Despite its issues, Life Is Strange continues to deliver a solid experience thanks to its nice mix of storytelling, hidden stuff and colorful art style. I was so interested to see how things turn out that I ended up finishing Out of Time in one sitting despite starting late at night. Here's hoping that the ensuing episodes end up being just as interesting as well.
I am genuinely excited to see what happens next, and after seeing how episode two plays out, I think people looking for an interesting story should take a look at this series.
