Dontnod's fully-fledged sequel to Life is Strange cannot quite capture the same magic of the first game, with a pretty jarringly inconsistent road trip adventure between two brothers on the run. There were parts of Life is Strange 2 I really connected with and others I totally rolled my eyes at. It's no surprise that the game wasn't nearly the hit that the first title was with this sort of shocking inconsistency, but they tried something different. That being said, I'm not sure if the hangout teenage angst vibe of the series really worked well with the fugitives story this takes on. I didn't expect "the wall" to make a late appearance in this, that's for sure.
