Whereas the first game let you choose something, see its short-term consequences and then rewind to check the other options, Life is Strange 2 only allows you one try. However, I feel like, without a mechanic like this, Life is Strange 2 becomes just another “choose your adventure”-game. Sure, Max ( the main protagonist from Life is Strange ) should be the only one to have those powers, as it’s a rare occurrence. What I don’t like though is the lack of time travel. The gameplay in Life is Strange 2 is technically very sound, it works like a charm and now you have more than two choices each time. Kudos Dontnod, kudos!Īlready here I have a huge dilemma. Most of all though is the amazing character design, it literally took me two scenes to fall in love with the Diaz’ brothers, and I immediately felt strongly about each and every character they met. In addition, there’s the whole world building – the world around Sean and Daniel feels real and is believable, even though there are some supernatural powers at play. The facial animations too are better than before, and the textures too have gotten an upgrade. It sort of feels like a good memory, if that makes sense? Life is Strange 2 builds on that experience, now running more smoothly than its predecessors. It’s not realistic, but it has charm and almost a cozy feel to it.

And Sean and Daniel have now joined Cassidy, Finn and their gang of dysfunctional people in their camp in Humbolt County, CA. ![]() Wastelands is set about two months after the happenings in Rules. And of course, Cassidy, the cute girl from the last episode! Was it worth the wait though? Well, only one way to find out! That being said, I have definitely missed the Diaz’ brothers. Now that I have your attention, let’s begin Episode 3, Wastelands have been out and about for almost three weeks, and somehow I wasn’t able to play it until now.
