Life is Strange 2: Episode 1 Review

39 Comments

1. ''What resonates, are not the sweeping condemnations of American racial prejudice. But modest fleeting glimpses of life at it's most banal.'' Is he writing a novel? The language he uses is needlessly complicated and completely unnecessary. There is no depth to this review and I can understand not spoiling anything. Poor.

2. 7.7 it’s all about that delicate acoustic guitar

3. I was a little worried but ended up lovin it

4. Yeah, hard pass.

5. did he… did he say "dahnt"nod entertainment? eh who cares Life is Strange is hella bad

6. I hear there's leftist politics/propaganda etc? Nope. I love Chloe & Max so much, but I won't buy this if that's the case. Do devs not realise like 99% of gamers are very right wing?

7. Sorry this review is too vague. Give us point on how there for your giving opinion, not just some grand story of "brother and fraternity"

8. 7.7 out 10. Couldn't it just be an 8 out of 10? I mean it might as well be?

9. This review looks…shallow

10. A game about life involving politics is just so disheartening, right? Oh wait…

11. Are we safe still purchasing episodic games before they release? Telltale left me burned if they dont finish walking dead.

12. hmm i might get the season pass, but oh wait the damn company might just shutdown … guess i wont then

13. Doesn't look that great I'm going to wait until more episodes are released I think

14. not enough action 4.5 ING

    ??????????????

15. I would of gave it a 5 honestly. Not garbage but not something I would play again either.

16. Outside of the poorly executed political aspects it looks pretty stellar, protagonists are 'hella' likeable. Gameplay looks pretty bad tho and the facial animation is atrocious, especially on the younger kid.

17. This review is pretty bad, yeah. But so is the game, so it deserves that rating anyway, so calm down

18. I’m down for politics in games, but it should be COMPLETELY unbiased. Honestly, I’ve been so hyped for this game for such a long time. But I had no idea that this game had an actual political goal to reach, and it seems like they also don’t really even know what they’re doing. It’s moronic for this French company to even try to play at the affairs of US politics. They obviously don’t know how it goes down over here.

19. Seeing a 7.7 is a bit surprising after all that praise was laid on it.

20. Sorry but being Mexican myself I know absolutely 0% Mexicans named Sean

21. IGN AND GAMESPOT ARE LIKE EA ??

22. i see that the lip sync is almost as bad as the original.. christ, how do they keep doing this so badly? Games from 10+ years ago had better lip sync

23. Hope Life is Strange 3 is about American Born Chinese. Another Joy Luck Club.?

24. Politically driven? I was excited to play it …

25. Tumblr the game part 2?

26. I like entertainment to bring me out of reality and the devisive politics of the day not be force fed more propaganda of either side. For me its a pass. Shame. Loved the first one.

27. why such low score, hmm?

28. I would give this a strong 8 to a 9 , I really enjoyed the chemistry between the brothers and I was hooked on the whole way through, can’t wait for episode 2

    They also mentioned many games , even The Last of Us

29. Communist propaganda

30. Gamespot gave it a 9/10

31. 0/10, they should've called it Life is Stranger

32. Get woke. Go broke.

    Hate to sound cliché, but ramming politics, especially contemporary politics into escapism / entertainment is a surefire way to alienate a large part of your audience.

    And immigration is great : legal immigration. It's unfair to patient legal immigrants to skip the lengthy immigration process entirely. People need to fix their own countries. After all if Trump's US is so terrible, why flee to it? Fight to male your own countries better. It's not easy, but that's how America was made in the first place.

33. I'll pass on this thanks! Didn't like the characters from the start.

34. Not enough bricks 7.0 – IGN

35. ARGUE WITH ME!!!!!!!!!

36. Wow. Spoilers.

37. Why is everyone calling this game “political”?

38. First IGN claim Luke Cage Season 2 is bad as it contains crucial character development which they can’t recognise and now they call LiS2 bad for not being more action-packed even though this game isn’t supposed to be within the action genre

39. So politics aren't allowed in games anymore, just because they dont align with your political stances?
