![]() Since that's not how game reviews work though, I have to give it a full 10 as I feel the developers had a goal in mind and they knocked that goal out of the park. Life Is Strange deserves a critique, not a number. Overall with that in mind, I almost feel like the rating system typical of game reviews is insufficient. In that light, the game plays almost like a good book or movie, while empowering you to (try to) do real good and see the results of your choices play out. In the light of most video games, the actions of antagonists could almost have you picturing them in their evil lair plotting against Max, yet the developers were careful enough to insert enough human moments to remind you that (within the context of the story, anyway) these are real people with their own upbringing and motivations. And like the plot, the characters benefit a lot from trying to imagine them as real. That's life, and nothing in the episode (other than time-travel powers) really felt so outrageous that I can't picture the day playing out exactly as described. The dialogue-heavy episode starts slow but finishes strong and sets up a new obstacle for Sean and Daniel with a real cliffhanger of an ending. Sure, lots happened, but sometimes that really does happen. Life Is Strange 2 Episode 3: Wastelands is the weakest and shortest installment of the game so far. The beauty in Life Is Strange as a whole and especially in Episode 2, for me, is that the more I try to think about it as if the characters were real, the more it all works. I'm sure we've all had that crazy day in our life where we almost can't believe how insane things got and how much happened by the end of it. I do feel like Episode 2 tried to accomplish a lot in a short time, but it did so in a way that felt really honest. ![]() While I disagree, I love that the reviews read like they were reviewing this "game" less like a game and more like what it appears to be positioning itself as - a piece of art worthy of critical thought. Playing this game you get reminded again and again that the developers have preferred being politically correct and becoming woke instead of delivering an interesting game. ![]() I've read the critics reviews, and I understand the complaints about pacing and some of the choices offered. Even worse, Life is Strange 2 is another game that basically gives you zero choice to mercilessly push its narrative, err story line. I've read Beautiful hand-painted artwork and a compelling story that draws you in and lets you honestly care about the other characters. ![]() Beautiful hand-painted artwork and a compelling story that draws you in and lets you honestly care about the other characters. ![]()
