![]() ![]() Anyway, the police come over, point guns at the kids, Esteban tries to defuse the situation, Sean’s in hysterics, Daniel’s the quietest one in the situation and then BANG! Esteban’s dead and Daniel lets out a scream that sets the neighborhood on fire. Sean gets into an altercation with his next door neighbor, who calls Daniel a “fucking retard”, which escalates to the point of the neighbor breaking his spine on a rock. Also, DISCLAIMER: I’m not denying that the types of accidents portrayed in the intro chapter of Life is Strange 2 happen, okay? There are countless reports of police brutality every year. In the first Life is Strange, it was executed poorly, and I’m not just saying that because I’m a 22-year old white male, but because it was a hamfisted message with over-exaggerated examples. Life is Strange 2‘s big angle is commentary on racism, just like how the first Life is Strange had commentary on rampant sexism throughout the state of Oregon. Things are swell until they are not, when Sean somehow kills a neighbor in an altercation, and- actually, no, let’s not dwell on this, because this needs to be talked about. You play as Sean, a Hispanic teenager who is going through typical teenage problems, including being in a loving family consisting of his younger brother Daniel and father Esteban. They have two games in the works: The rest of Life is Strange 2 and Twin Mirror, their most interesting game since Remember Me. ![]() Remember Me, the aforementioned Life is Strange, Vampyr, all of these titles either have people loving or hating them, and it’s rare to find an in-between opinion. This is the latest episodic title from French studio DONTNOD, a polarizing developer to say the least. Three years later, Life is Strange 2 is here to see if it’s changed enough. Before The Storm’s narrative structure didn’t change, but the age of the characters did, meaning that there was no awkward pause when you realize that it’s 20-year olds saying such stupid shit. Even though I wasn’t the one who reviewed the first Life is Strange for Sick Critic, I can still agree with the statements made, although I do believe Before The Storm is better. The, err, first Life is Strange? NOT GOOD.Īlright fine, it wasn’t bad, but there was room for improvement. If you’re interested in Life is Strange 2 and have yet to know anything about it yet, then… I dunno, read the last paragraph or something.** **SPOILER WARNING: Some story elements of Life is Strange 2 do get discussed for critique here. ![]()
