One of the best games I have ever played
The story of the game is really strong and completely emotional, which makes you be affected by the game in general
Even some choices really affect the mood and I blamed myself many times for some wrong choices
The music in the game completely connected with me and listening to the music was really relaxing
The graphics of the game its good
And whatever I say about the beauty of this game, I have not said enough, the environment of the game is very beautiful and exciting
I feel that I am a part of this life(Game) i love it :))))

Hot take but Life is Strange 2 is the best in the franchise, It has it's flaws such as side characters being non-existent but I think it helps to show that the brothers are on their own growing their bond. Story is a bit longer than what I wanted but it's very good, goofy at times. I highly suggest playing this game. (Can't wait for LiS4)

Life is Strange 2 | ★★★★☆
Sometimes, the people you meet along the way shape how you fondly remember and perceive the places you've been.
DONTNOD tells another compelling story, rich with beautiful scenery, captivating art, and lovely music. You will accompany a young wolf brothers on their journey as they navigate their way through west, lost and searching for shelter.
The game consists of episodes, each taking roughly 2-3 hours to complete, depending on how much you explore. It can be played as a standalone title, as it has little connection to the first game, aside from a few small tie-ins. I found the pacing a bit weaker here compare to the first, as the flow tends to reset at the start of each new episode.
Weirdly, I noticed that this game mirrors a lot of things from Beyond: Two Souls. The key difference is that this game has better control schematics, which I didn’t take for granted from the start.
Altogether, LIS2 is filled with cinematic landscape views that feel like an advertisement for the US tourism, Pair it with a bunch of choices that test the bond of your brotherhood through matter of better or worse.
P.S. The game is undeniably political, and I don't care if you think otherwise. It addresses issues that some people believe never happened, while others might deeply relate to the experiences depicted.
One aspect I wanted to highlight is how the game presents certain racist characters. I hesitate to use the term "woke," but it feels somewhat appropriate here because the game seems intent on force-feeding this perspective to the player.
Despite its clear lean towards democratic/left views, the game makes an effort to show that individuals, rather than the political parties they might align with, are the ones responsible for their actions. For instance, one of the nicest characters you encounter is a MAGA supporter, which surprised me when I discovered this while snooping through their belongings. Interestingly, the game doesn't vilify this person, which added a layer of complexity to the narrative.
I understand that some players might interpret the game as demonizing certain ideologies, but in my view, it strives to demonstrate that people with different beliefs will always be decent, compassionate human beings, though there can still be outliers.
Yes, the game does depict a Christian cult, trigger-happy police officers, and both subtle and overt supporters of certain walls. However, it ultimately portrays these negative actions as the behavior of individuals rather than a condemnation of entire groups. The game also exposes the greed and flaws on the "other side," which, for me, helps balance the political narrative and prevented me from disliking it too much.
Lastly, I was disappointed by the way the game represents life in Mexico. It seems to suggest that life there is inevitably harsh, implying that people are destined to turn to gangs. I'm certain that many in Mexico live comfortable lives, and it’s unfortunate that the game doesn't reflect this reality.

In the previous installment, LIS 1, I sacrificed everything for you, attempting to mend a shattered reality through my choices and power. Each decision was a desperate effort to restore what had been lost.
In LIS 2, however, my choices and power begin to tear apart the very fabric of a once-beautiful everyday life. What was once an effort to heal has now become a catalyst for destruction.
Life is really strange...

Life is Strange 2 is a tale of two brothers whose life is turned upside-down at the some point of their lives and they had to stay together to survive. You can be a good brother or a bad brother, you can be a friend to him or act like a parent. Your choices matter.
This game brings a lot of story with character development contents, great graphics and enjoyable soundtrack. You should play this, it's good. I don't know why some people that adored the first one are cold on this, but it's just as good.

my favourite life is strange game by far, i love the main characters so much! gets you emotionally invested. Even though we play as a character with no powers we see his struggles and can relate more to him in certain ways, esp what its like having to deal with younger siblings. It's also nice to see real life struggles people of colour go through and brings different perspectives to how you may view life/what other people may be going through :> 10/10

The best immersive experience I've ever had in a game. The dialogue and narrative are very well-written, making me feel really attached to the characters, like I was part of the story. I love how your decisions actually affect the game's outcome, unlike many other games where the outcomes are pretty much the same with only differences in dialogue. This game presents outcomes that are genuinely influenced by your actions. I've played it three times now, and each time was a different experience with an amazing story. The story really pulls you in and makes every choice feel important. The visuals and soundtrack are also spot-on. Definitely recommend it if you're looking for a game with a strong, emotional story.
