Remember, you’re essentially playing kids rendered homeless by gun violence who are trying to make it down the West Coast without nearly any resources. The game’s pacing can be slow, especially during the early parts of it. By that, I mean, you should not expect a PlayStation 5-level of visual quality, but you should know that when you choose the Switch version over the PC or next-gen-console version. There are some heavy load times, and the game is bound by the Switch’s graphical rendering ability. In terms of the technical aspects of gameplay, the Switch port is of the quality we’ve come to accept from Square Enix. She will later sacrifice herself in order to protect her sons, and I have to admit that I found it interesting that the narrative we usually see used for fathers or male characters is carried by a female character. She initially abandons her boys, becoming the first person to betray her duty of care with respect to Sean and Daniel, but she returns later to rescue her youngest son. The boys’ mother, Karen, is a particularly fascinating character. From their mother’s initial abandonment to the injustice of the racism that prompts the altercation in which they lose their father, the boys constantly shift between experiencing unfair or violent treatment at the hands of representatives from society’s institutions to having to rely on individuals to provide help against a system that is failing to care for them. It’s a hard sequence to play through because it represents yet another example of how society has failed the boys. Daniel becomes a pawn used to aggrandize the leader while Sean and Karen, the boys’ mother, attempt to rescue him. The sequence with the cult bears some discussion because it throws into sharp relief the uglier aspects of a certain kind of religious life in the United States. Your posture towards Daniel determines whether he trusts you enough to accept your choices, or if he goes off on his own frequently, to his and your detriment. As a result, Life Is Strange 2 really begs you as Sean to constantly evaluate your priorities, and the means by which you achieve your goals. The situations the brothers face are realistically complex, meaning that making what society would deem the moral choice may not be the choice that is best or most loving for Daniel. The characters feel well-rounded, with the NPCs coming across less as tools to progress the story so much as participants in the events. The choices you make do not have an immediately obvious answer as each choice has its benefits and drawbacks, and they arise organically through the events of the story. I have to applaud the developers for crafting intricate and interesting decision trees that radically change the gameplay. While Sean is the older brother, he takes over as the de facto parent for Daniel, and therefore the model on which the extraordinary young man will base his life. His responses to those events influence Daniel and become the basis of Daniel’s own decision-making because one of the major themes in the game is parenting, and how your parenting choices actually impact your children. I don’t want to go into the specifics much in order to avoid too many spoilers, but Sean encounters racism and gun-violence. Depending on the choices you make as Sean, Daniel can become either moral or immoral, and Life Is Strange 2 really does allow for you to choose the darker path. The boys’ intended goal is to make it out of the United States and to get to Puerto Lobos, their father’s hometown.Īlong the way, they encounter criminal freighthoppers, FBI agents, a would-be cult leader, and various other characters that help or hinder the boys in their journey to Mexico. The two boys are on the run after the revelation of Daniel’s telekinetic powers in which their neighbor was injured, their father killed by a police officer, and a massive explosion occurred. Life Is Strange 2 takes the form of a trip along the American West Coast taken by two fugitive brothers, Sean Diaz, whom you play, and his younger brother Daniel. Life Is Strange 2 follows in its predecessor’s footsteps as a graphic adventure game, and if that’s your preferred genre, I cannot recommend this title enough. Square Enix graciously provided me with a code for the Switch port of Life Is Strange 2, and I couldn’t be more impressed.
