Completed with 100% of achievements unlocked (190/190G). Episode 2 is where we see the connections to the short teaser prequel The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit come to play, and even though I played through that on PS4 so didn't get a customised experience, seeing the events of that game in the light of the circumstances revealed by the first two episodes of Life is Strange 2 was fascinating. That said, it's a little disappointing here that we see that some of the seemingly significant choices from the first episode don't actually make much of an impact on how the story progresses - and leaves me suspecting that the same will happen with much of episode 2's developments. That aside, though, as an interactive experience the game still tells an interesting story, albeit one that doesn't develop on some of its themes as much as there was potential for.
