Life is strange 2 release date9/21/2023 ![]() When a common complaint of choice-based games is that your decisions don’t feel like they mean much, Life is Strange 2 goes pretty far in making them truly matter. Your final decision, and whether Daniel agrees to go with Sean’s plan or not, will determine the ending you see for the Diazs’ story. ![]() If you ask him to free someone else when you told Daniel that you two need to look out for each other first and foremost, he’ll ignore you. If, for example, you ask Daniel to hurt someone despite telling him not to otherwise, Daniel will not do it. Instead, he’ll weigh the morals that you have instilled on him from the previous episodes and decisions against what you’re asking, and accept or refuse to do it. You can still direct Daniel to use his powers in certain ways or to forgo using them at all, but that doesn’t mean he’ll listen. They also affect Daniel, as Sean is the only role model he has left. One of the big points that Dontnod makes about Life is Strange 2 is that your decisions throughout the season don’t just affect you. The heartfelt scene before the final decision in the game left me sobbing, unable to make the decision for a good half an hour before I was able to recompose myself.Īlthough, that final decision and other decisions in the episode weren’t mine and mine alone to make. The emotional moments are laid on thick, but never to the point of feeling corny or strained-the great writing coupled with the fantastic voice acting makes the final episode as emotionally straining and heartbreaking as you’d expect since LiS2’s opening. Events begin happening at break-neck speeds, and you have a lot of difficult decisions you’re forced to make during the second half of the episode. It prepares the rest of the episode to have that much more of an impact.Įventually, the episode picks up the pace at frightening speeds, testing the Diaz brothers one final time before they finally cross the border to Mexico. However, the slow introduction not only shows how things have changed, but also how Sean and Daniel are still children despite everything they’ve gone through. ![]() It’s a nice and slow introduction for the final episode, which may feel a little unusual for the title’s season finale. The opening offers a glimpse at a finally peaceful time for the two boys, who have been through so much since the start of the series. There will be no direct spoilers for Episode 5, so please don’t spoil anything in the comments!Īfter the events of Episode 4 and freeing Daniel from the strange cult taking advantage of his powers, the brothers get a bit of respite in their mother’s off-the-grid community. Note: This review will have spoilers for every previous episode. I’m happy to report that Episode 5 is every bit the conclusion that Life is Strange 2 deserved, no matter how painful that is to truly say. The success of the first season coupled with an incredible first episode for the second season has left everyone wondering how Dontnod was going to wrap everything up. Life is Strange 2 had lofty expectations placed on it. ![]() An ending that sparks discussion and debate can get people that fell off the title, or those waiting until the end of the season, to finally jump in and see what the fuss is all about. ![]() This logic also applies to the conclusions. ![]()
