Life is Strange 2 - Episode 4: Faith Reviews
While the story can get a little too congested at times with its various topics, the effort to explore such issues makes for an experience with more depth and meaning. Faith is another step forward in a wild journey. The episode’s twist and turns offer a blend of exhilarating and heartbreaking moments, and is an experience that Life Is Strange fans can embrace as they continue forward with the brothers.
Episode 4 sparks newfound hope for the Life is Strange series and sets the next episode up nicely for a touchdown that Dontnod can hopefully score and bring the season home.
A disappointing third act and weak moral choices aside, Faith is the best episode since Life Is Strange 2's debut. It unravels Sean's character in interesting ways, has some expansive areas to visit and delves into the more mature aspects of the sequel's world to create some deeply poignant moments. With the finale right around the corner, the Diaz brothers' last chapter has all the ingredients to be a doozy.
Life is Strange Episode 4: Faith was too long, with brief impactful moments that were so plentiful that they didn’t carry much weight.
Episode 4 in particular is the second best episode in the series so far, resting next to its excellent introductory episode.
Sean and Daniel have encountered a lot on their journey, and it's nearing its end. If the final episode can deliver as well as Faith has, then Life is Strange 2 will be an excellent story as a whole.
Life is Strange 2 started at breakneck speed and hasn't let up since then. With Sean and Daniel constantly being tested in both their physical fortitudes and emotional stability. Episode 4 Faith has Sean attempting to locate Daniel while both his physical and mental health are constantly under pressure. Eventually leading up to a profound conclusion that has Sean knocking on Death's door and attempting to save what's most important to him.
The wolf brothers have faced a lot since they left Seattle, but "Faith" ups the ante in one of the best episodes so far, even if it could do with just a bit more gameplay.
