The final boss of walking simulators.

The voice acting is natural and the game is beautiful. I played this game in one sitting, and it was much longer than I expected. I think it had a lot more impact on me than if I would have played in sections.

There is apparently a "walk faster" button, but it didn't actually do anything everytime I tried to use it.

If you like pushing boxes, jumping across platforms or climbing things, then this is the game for you.

Speech randomly cuts off, but you can't skip any speech yourself. This is a keyboard-only game, and it's awkward scrolling through everything. QTEs are infuriating if you mess it up in the 0.5 seconds it gives you to press the button, because you're going to be watching the cutscene all over again.

This game holds your computer hostage. Once you open it, there is no way to minimize. I hope you like redo-ing your settings every time you play aswell. Resolution doesn't stay put, and since you have to restart, there really is no point.

It does still have the Broken Sword charm occasionally, but it is a mess. I do think it's better than the fourth game though.

The game is only around four hours long, but I think that's better for this game, since you can't skip any cutscenes and you can get to the choices faster. I played it solo, but it seems like a good multiplayer game.

Everybody looks like they're made out of shiny plastic, somehow worse than Until Dawn. The characters feel heavy to control, and you sometimes have to be in a certain position to view objects, so you'll find yourself moving back and forth trying to get in the right place.

I enjoyed the game's story, but it was rather barebones and feel like there could have been some more "inbetween" parts. It's very linear.

The characters in this game are pretty bland. They are all just kinda there. Nobody really "evolves", bar maybe Brad. With the choices you make, your traits change and your relationships go up or down, it doesn't seem to make a difference. They always act the same.

I think it's weird to single out Conrad to put on the cover. Maybe it's just because of his actor. He doesn't do anything particularly main character worthy. In fact he was completely absent in my playthrough.

I played this all in one sitting. I feel like I enjoyed it at the beginning. Very interesting and a cool art style. After Chapter 3, the story is just... a mess. Like a B horror movie. Predictable. I quickly lost any attachment I had to the characters. You'd think with the time it took for the developer(s) to complete the game, it would well-concluded, but there are so many things left unanswered. Perhaps suffering from the "YouTube Game" curse, as evident from the YouTuber wall in one of the chapters.

Such a great game. Lots of clever writing, funny dialogue, and catchy music. Not particularly difficult or that long either. There were only a few missions I had to retry more than once. Combat is fun, but I wish it could be more challenging because you can pretty much cheese it. Just standing around Bullworth Academy can be entertaining. Watching Sheldon beat Algie in a fight is a sight to behold.

I don't have many complaints. Dialogue variation is small, so you'll end up hearing the same line over and over, which is torture. You can't wear hats because it makes your hair disappear. Scholarship Edition has its issues, but I didn't experience any crashing thankfully.

For a game that ISN'T about time travel, it sure skips around a lot, which is my biggest issue. You get introduced to a big cast of characters in one episode only for them to get shifted aside to a whole new cast in another episode. And it's not like we're meeting them at the same time as Sean - he's known them for weeks now... and then they're just gone.

I don't want to have to read a bunch of journal entries to understand what's going on. This story has a beginning and end, but doesn't know what it wants to do inbetween, so it just feels disjointed. Sometimes it just felt like I was spending three hours wandering around until the actual action came in right at the end (for the cool music video, of course!)

Life is Strange 2 suffers from what the first one did with the "important" dialogue choices. You are not Sean (or Max) so you don't get choices that are out of character for them. You get choices that Sean (or Max) would make, so it's extremely frustrating sometimes. This isn't The Walking Dead Game, it's way less ambiguous with who your character is.

I disliked Sean's mumbling. He is definitely the weakest voice actor. He has a sweet voice, but it seems like the only thing he's good at is pretending to cry. Any actual emotion is void. One example is him telling Daniel to "STOP!" in Episode 3. Despite that, I really felt for him. Daniel has his problems, but honestly, he's a nine year old that likes playing Minecraft. I don't blame him for the way he acts in certain situations. The only issue I had with him was in Episode 4 (where I almost hoped Sean would leave him there).

ANYWAY the original score is really good and the game looks pretty, though it makes my PS4 sound like a spaceship.
