Life is Strange 2 is a sometimes meandering adventure, one which both in-game and in real life has taken a considerable time to see through (in realisation, it seems, developer Dontnod has already highlighted how its next episodic game will arrive over a far shorter period). But each stop along its path has added something to Sean and Daniel's relationship - a sense of family, friendship, danger, and the harsh realities of adult life - that feel critical to where the pair end up. And yes, it can certainly feel tough. It is a journey filled with setbacks and prejudice which sometimes grind this young adult-drama-with-superpowers right down into the mud of the here and now - something the original Life is Strange, however dark it got, seemed somehow removed from. It is because of all this Life is Strange 2 is a journey I would recommend to anyone. Sean's shoes are ones few games walk within, while your choices ultimately form a complex relationship with Daniel which feels unparalleled in nuance in the series so far, or elsewhere.
