After playing the first installment of the Life is Strange series, I grew a unhealthy addiction towards the franchise.

I played the second game right after I finished the first. This is something I cannot recommend anyone who wants to check this game out. Because of this, the first chapter felt slow and underwhelming. Life is Strange 2 really starts kicking off when you hit the midgame (around chapter 3). The characters, beside the two brothers (if even present), are least interested than the first installment. The story mainly resolves around the two brothers which leaves less room for side-character development (which I found a real shame). I was also under the impression that the supernatural power would be the same as the previous game, which got me all hyped up to play. Turns out that the supernatural power you possess in this game is completely different, which left me kinda unmotivated. After finishing the game I can confidently say that the supernatural power didn’t really give an extra dimension to the story, like the first installment did.

Overall, Life is Strange 2 is a good game with a solid story and interesting character’s. The supernatural power felt lacking at times and gave me the feeling it would have improved the game more if they elaborated further on it. Compared to the first installment of the series, the second game is slower and more focused on a smaller poule of characters with a less interesting narrative. Still a solid 7/10 though!
