I’m a bit sad that the game didn’t resonate with the public. It was a very emotional journey and I liked it more than the first one, but every time the LiS series is brought up, people treat it as the black sheep and mostly mention it only to recommend to stay away from it and try the others instead.
I completely agree. I want a new bigger one! I thought the writing in 2 was great, considering how cringe some of it was in LiS and Before the Storm (which I still loved anyway).
Despite the cliché high school writing, I fell in love with the series playing the first LiS, but the ending was a huge let down for me. It was too abrupt and none of my choices up to that point mattered.
I wasn’t able to finish BtS, too much teenage angst for me. One of the minigames in the first episode requires you to be a dick to your adoptive father for no real reason, and I get it, that’s pretty much the point - Chloe was in a downwards spiral at that moment in life - but I just couldn’t bring myself to play as her for the entire game. I liked her a lot more as a deuterantagonist in the first game.

I’m surprised that no one has mentioned Life is Strange 2, there are some tough choices and the outcome is not obvious at all.

LiS2 is a brilliant brilliant game
