The award-winning Life is Strange series continues with an all-new story from DONTNOD Entertainment.
After a tragic incident, brothers Sean and Daniel Diaz run away from home. Fearing the police, and dealing with Daniel's newly manifested telekinetic power – the power to move objects with your mind – the boys decide to travel to their father's hometown of Puerto Lobos in Mexico for safety.
Suddenly, sixteen year-old Sean is responsible for Daniel’s safety, shelter, and teaching him right from wrong. As Daniel's power grows, it’s up to Sean to decide the rules by which they live. Keep the power secret, or use it to help them in their journey? Beg, borrow, or steal? Reach out to family, or stay hidden?
As Sean, your choices shape the fates of the Diaz brothers, and the lives of everyone they meet.
From Seattle, to Portland, to California... through gas stations, abandoned shacks, backstreets and forests... the road to Mexico is long and filled with danger – but also friendship, wonder, and opportunity.
This is the trip that could bond Sean and Daniel forever… or tear their brotherhood apart.
Key Features:
• Award Winning Story-Telling
• Daniel is always learning from Sean – and what you teach him has far-reaching consequences.
• Stunning visuals and hand-painted textures.
• Emotive original soundtrack from Jonathan Morali, composer of the original Life is Strange - plus licensed tracks from Phoenix, The Streets, Sufjan Stevens, Bloc Party, First Aid Kit, and more.

if I had to rank all the life is strange games from best to worst which there is 0 bad games in this series it would go
Life Is Strange 1
Life Is Strange double exposure
Life Is Strange 2
Life Is Strange True Colors
Life Is Strange befor the storm
Again none of these games are bad I highly recommend to anyone to play the entire series!
This games story is very sobering for people who realize or have just begun realizing how real the events in the story are, and at first, you might not notice it when you start playing; but everything that happens in the game even as someone who isn't Hispanic or Mexican or whatever mold the world looks at people like Sean and Daniel: 'Criminals', 'Demons', Its all what people who look from the outside in would think about anyone that is in a tough situation from a world that will never forgive them, even if they had done nothing wrong, besides running away. And how could you blame them: they're just children caught in a situation of bad circumstances that only exist because of either ignorance or arrogance, and the only way people can reach them and find goodness inside them is if they actually understand them. But what the player does, is what determines if the player can provide forgiveness for what society does to someone when all they know is that 2 boys ran away from a dangerous crime scene.
Played life is strange 1 and liked it a lot, played life is strange before the storm and it was alright.
this game... is so bad that it is actually the worst game i have ever played. if you enjoyed the first games and want to continue the series, it's probably best to just skip this one. This was the most miserable experience i've had with a game in a very long time. Just play the first game..
i have no words to describe just how powerful and relevant this game is, even today. the mechanics of how sean and daniel's relationship changes with how sean treats his little brother is so cool. it was tense, heartbreaking, heartfelt, and overall an experience that i urge everyone to play. honestly probably my favorite of the LiS games. the story of the wolf brothers will stay with me for a long time.
I loved this one! The story is emotional, raw, and sometimes so damn heartbreaking! The visuals were stunning and the soundtrack sets the mood so perfectly. As a big fan of the Life is Strange games, I really liked how different this game felt while still keeping with the strong emotions and making every decision matter.
Honestly loved this game so much, it had many emotional scenes and the characters were very likable, especially Sean and Daniel 9.5/10
Ein tolles Spiel mit einer emotional packenden Story.
Lis2 is an emotional roller coaster of a game. The themes displayed are, unfortunately, still relevant today as they were when it was created. I love the wolf brothers
The amount of hate this game got initially is absolutely asinine. I know people that even bought the game and didn't even continue playing past the first episode because it was "too political" lmao. This really is the best LiS game and just a complete package of a game. Buy it now.
10/10 5 anos depois e eu ainda não consigo nem pensar no jogo sem chorar
> Play dice with your brother
> Lose the first game because he cheats
> He gets to write on your backpack
> Play some more
> Finally win after 20 minutes
> Get nothing in return
10/10
this game literally touched my soul, ive never related to a game so much in my life before, being a poc and a older sibling that had to have our own topics dealing with racial comments that were thrown towards us. so few games show indescribable struggles that others deal with daily, especially racism, not only is this game so beautiful it plays a gorgeous storytelling DEF RECCOMEND PLEASE.
I enjoyed this so much I was surprised to see the game doesn't have a top rating.
Then I read negative reviews and got even more confused.
I am just BAFFLED by how many people think Daniel is so annoying and ungrateful it broke the game for them. He's just 10????????? Just how mature you expect kids to be???
To anyone planning to play this game:
- Just because you make choices doesn't mean you have full control in this game. You play as Sean but Sean is not you. At times he does his own shit and you're left wondering what could have happened if there was an option C or D.
- Similarly, you don't always know what effect your choices will have. Choices build up towards the possible endings you get but don't expect this game to always feel "satisfying" - I really don't think that is the point of this story.
I agree with one of the endings being weak ( PW ending ) because there ( wasn't enough consequences for Daniel's powers being seen by the cops ).
That set aside I would just drop my expectations and enjoy the rollercoaster...
A bittersweet punch in the gut. Exploring my own morality was not always easy, but in the end the choices I was comfortable with led to an ending that I was comfortable with, and I think that is a win in terms of story design. No cheap uno-reverse-card trickery that some games employ as "plot twists".
uhh great game and such a great storytelling songs are good like every other life is strange game and most of all graphics are a big improvement from the first game but the only problem is the ending i wont spoil but it might left u feel less satisfied well thats just my opinion well 9/10 u should try this game for sure and embark on this journey cause its a playthrough of lifetime
the best life is strange game had my crying sobbing, amazing story we need a sequel now
Loved this game. Got it on sale and more then worth the money. The connection between the brothers is amazing. All the characters build a great connection outside of the numerous antagonist being one offs. Massive turn away from the first game with this one being a journey of morality and connection across a vast world, where the first one was more a choice of what connections you prioritize and want to hold onto in a small world. Great story, acting, art, and a somewhat timely mixture of messages. Definitely recommend if you enjoy stories, adventures, RPGs. If you get this without the first game, download the free Captain Spirit demo as well since it adds a lot of heart to chapters 2-5 of this one. Be prepared to feel a lot in the end
Very strong story with a lot of heartbreaking moments. There is a lot to explore, and nice characters. I hope we see more of Sean and Daniel in the future os LiS games!
In my opinion, the weakest of the Life Is Strange games (Double Exposure notwithstanding, I haven't played that yet). The music doesn't hit you like it does in the other three games. If, like me, you never wanted to manage a 9 year old child, the first 3 episodes are not always fun. I still think this game is worth playing through because it tells an ultimately interesting story, but don't expect it to have the same feels as LiS, BtS and TC.
I have one problem with this game:
I feel like the choices you make in this game dont really effect the future as much as it did in Life is Strange 1.
But dont get me wrong.. Over all the game is still a great experience and is absolutely worth the money.
Немного расстроила выбитая мною концовка, но что сделано, то сделано. Игра пушка, к прохождению рекомендуется.
cried, gooned, laughed and wanted to kill myself. absolute perfection although i expected more gay after the first game, 10/10
even after rewatching playthroughs of LIS2 over the course of several years, the impact is as strong as ever. I just finished my first playthrough ever today and the game still brought me to tears. this will always by far be my favorite of the LIS games and interactive story games
4.5/10- I do have some praise if you read to the end
(Now, before you get on me about my play time, I have finished this game 3 times on PS4 during my regular interval play throughs of the series, I just bought it on steam to consolidate the experience).Life is Strange (LiS from here on) 2 broke the LiS mold when it made the game, and not in the good ways. In LiS 1 we fell in love with the secondary and tertiary characters. There were characters you were supposed to dislike, some you were supposed to like, some who were always meant to be task a split tree on the choices board, and some were meant to just be. And almost every single one of them made you feel something. This continued into Before the Storm by bringing back some characters-and making new ones- that can be developed in several ways. To me, developing and seeing how characters can change based on YOUR actions was a defining part of the game. Kate, Frank, and Victoria immediately come to mind. Then, with Before the storm we get to see pre-development in Nathan and Frank.
In the original and prequel you spend your time roaming around the world, just to later return to familiar places (for good or for bad) over and over. Giving you senses of ease and comfort in some, repeated dread in others, and sometimes a swaying feeling of a place that depends on the moment. Each place carries with it some emotion.
And the third core piece of the original and prequel: choices. Seeing their impact in the world. Its not often, its not big, but I can physically SEE when I did something, and when I come back to that place later, I can see how it changed the world. I can feel my choices in dialogue with characters. I can see them change their opinions of me. I can see the world changing because of me.
Before the Storm and True Colors are both "minor" installments into the franchise, and as such aren't as expansive as 1 and 2 are, but they both very well follow this mold (I haven't played Double Exposure, but from what I can tell, this mold still mostly applies).
Now, we are about to go into major minor spoilers (major in the sense that knowing it will forever impact your vision of the game and may not want to be seen by people who haven't played it, but I also will not be giving away the major moments or outcomes or secrets of the game, things you likely would get from watching the trailers for each episodes and some minor stuff).
LiS 2 throws all of that away for a new identity. Other than the brothers, there isn't a single character who has even slightly minor importance for more than 2 episodes. The only argument would be "the woman who you start episode 5 living with" as she is a major plot point, but even then she isn't a character they build, and you cannot interact with her for very much of the game. You spend every episode learning to invest into a rotating cast of minor characters, just to throw them away shortly after. You don't get to see many characters grow. What you see is what you get. Sure you can have one off things that make them happy or mad or something, but no character really changes, especially not based on your decisions. Most characters that have any depth are simply there to serve the purpose of driving the story forward. Which is in stark contrast to 1,BTS, and TC all of which have a plethora of well developed characters that change and grow or fall depending on what happens. But the reason this doesn't happen is because of the second part of the mold they threw away.
Each and every episode (and often times even within the same episode) the setting changes entirely. Entirely new places with long gaps of time between episodes. Each episode felt like its own, disjunctive story.
And the third part of the mold... LiS is a choice and consequence game. Yet... the only lasting consequence in the game are Daniel and Sean. Generally in the form of scars of passed adventures, but also in their characters.
The three things that made LiS 1, BTS, and TC so good fundamentally (even if the execution was off in one or more places), is thrown away to create a new identity.
Now, I know I've dragged on this game for like, a 5 paragraph essay. But its not all bad.
A lot of people hate on 2 because of Sean and Daniel. How they "can't relate nor understand their decisions or motives." But personally, I think all of the LiS main characters mostly fall into this category. They just do so in a way some people specifically dislike, like being an edgy insubordinate nine year old who-no matter how hard his brother tries- turns against him because of off screen decisions. I get it, I also don't like it. But I also don't like how inconsiderate, nosey, emotionally detached, and a general ass Max is in 1 (until you rewind to get the conversation right). Chloe also is just an older and slightly better decision making version of Daniel. And Alex... well Alex gives "trying way too hard empath" vibes, and its almost like people in her world can tell. So these characters fit right in.
You remember how I just said I dislike how the game has 5 distinct settings? Well, each one could have been its own stellar game and story. Each one has an interesting premise. Each one a fun starting cast of characters (even if they don't go anywhere, the basis of the character is good). It, to me, felt like you had 5 perfectly valid LiS game proposals and instead of dedicating yourself to one, you wrote an overarching story that makes little to no logical sense to tie each one together. I often say that this is the worst game I enjoyed playing. Because it is. I enjoyed probably 70-80% of the time I put into the game. With the 20-30% being times where Sean or Daniel's decision come back to bite me, the player, in the butt. Or, a special award to Mushroom, which made me put the game down and not come back to it for 3 years the first time it happened (yeah, no joke). And along the lines of Mushroom, there are just a couple times where the game took an unavoidable turn into "but like, why? How did this get passed inital proposal?" And to my knowledge, those moments are actually unanimously hated. But all in all most of the game rocks, but the game as a whole doesn't. To me, arguably, the best part about this game is the free between episode tie in "The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit" and how it ties into the game.
However, between 1, 2, BtS, and TC, I would have to say this game does the best with the endings. The other 3 are completely binary choices that do no care about previous choices. And upon first playing this game... it may feel like that. But there is a "hidden" mechanic in the game that make the final choice a dual binary, a yes no decision on your part in the moment, and yes no decision made by the game based on the accumulation of your choices. Life is Strange 2 is the only game of the four that has actual consequences on the ending for your choices in the game. Then, even BEYOND that, there are minor differences in the final cutscenes for each of those 4 endings depending on other choices. So while you don't live in the world where your choices matter, the world in the end is defined by them.
If given a chance to redo everything, would I buy this game again for the first time? Probably. Would I play it all the way through? After probably a 3 year gap, yeah. Would this be true if it wasn't a life is strange game? Possibly. But its also possible its the only reason I put up with it. I will probably play this game again in the future. I will probably still say its a bad game, as my review of this game actually gets slightly worse every time I play it and see what "branching paths" have to say.
currently sobbing over the ending but 100% recommend for anybody who likes choice based games. Worth the emotional damage.
IMO the best LIS game they've made. Soundtrack is beautiful and characters you met in game impact how you see things in the world. Although people complain about the short time you spend with said characters it makes sense considering you're being hunted by the police and government. Sean and Daniel are the perfect example of the 2 sides of brotherhood and how far you'll go to protect those you love.
The game is a disappointment. I guess the franchise really doesn’t have anything good outside of the LiS1.
First, it isn’t relatable. I was in school, so bullying, entitlement, and awkward teen dialogue were nostalgic hooks that captured my interest at the beginning of LiS1. Here, I’m neither hispanic nor a runaway murderer. The racist issues shown in this game don’t click with me because I’ve never experienced or even witnessed racism to the extent depicted.
Second, the story seems boring and flat. LiS1 had you witness a murder and unlock the power to rewind time—a great concept right from the start. Then it kept captivating you: the mysterious tornado, a missing girl, a suicide attempt, Rachel’s secret life, finding answers, and finally, the unexpected turn of events. In this one, your story is just about running away to Mexico. Wow, so deep. It’s reactive storytelling—you’re just dealing with problems along the way—which is much less interesting than the proactive mystery-driven plot of the first game. And it’s not even a fun “on-the-road” story, like Road 96.
Third, you’re just a sidekick with no powers. It was innovative and fun to be able to change dialogue and events with time powers in LiS1. Here, you have Fus Ro Dah... oh wait, not you—your brother.
Fourth, the characters in LiS1 were complex. Step-douche genuinely loved his family, even though he was too harsh and didn’t know better. The mom was a good person but kept a guy who hit her daughter. The drug dealer had a soft side for dogs. The corrupted principal could be a total ass or a wise mentor. In LiS2, so far, everyone is exactly as they seem. The guy who looks like a redneck? Classical redneck. The ultra-white old man? Racist. The fat nomad with a beard? Your average chill liberal from a wealthy family who hates violence. This is exactly why I disliked Before the Storm.
And lastly, I don’t like the main character. In LiS1, you had sweet Max, the second-most innocent girl at Blackwell (right after Kate) whose only real flaw was ghosting her best friend for five years. Other than that, you could make her the nicest person even without rewinding time. In LiS2, you’re stuck with a hotheaded murderer whom you can’t adequately control as a player.
I’m very sad that the series hasn’t had anything good since the first game. The only things left for me to check are True Colors and the comic series, but my hopes are low.
As someone who played the og Life is Strange and Before the Storm, I procrastinated at picking this one up because I was attached to Max, Chloe and Rachel. But after finally playing Life is Strange 2, years after it's release, I cannot stop thinking about it even months after finishing. I'd argue that it's even more emotional and packs an even bigger punch than Life is Strange, especially as an older sibling. I might even say it's better in general. The art, the ambiance, the music, the story, everything is perfect. I have nothing bad to say about this game. A masterpiece in my heart <3
Life is Strange 2 takes the series in a new direction, focusing on moral ambiguity for their choices with big consequences. Playing as Sean Diaz, you guide your younger brother Daniel through tough decisions that shape both his character and the world around them.
While the bond between the brothers is touching, it doesn’t feel as emotionally gripping as past games like Life is Strange or Before the Storm. The pacing is uneven, with sudden story skips and unpredictable outcomes that can make it hard to stay engaged or feel in control.
Whether this game clicks for you depends on your storytelling preferences. If you enjoy complex moral choices, it’s worth playing. If you prefer a more focused, emotional narrative, it might not hit the mark. 6/10
Ive never felt so emotionally connected with characters in a game, i felt every emotion Sean and Daniel felt like i was right there with them. this game changed me as a person, it made me appreciate all that i have and gave me a different perspective on so many things and relationships in my life. Ive replayed it so many times already and everytime i get completely sucked into this game. I love it, i recommend it. i life, laugh, love, breathe this game.

Like others have said, every LiS game after the original and BTS have been clunky, boring and preachy, with none of the heart, intrigue, or subversiveness of the originals. The haven't regained their footing or achieved that same success besides triple the budget and team sizes. Just ignore any games from DONTNOD and Deck 9.
This game is a masterpiece from start to finish. It is a very heartfelt, amazing game that hits home to me personally as an older brother. It makes me think about what I would do in Sean's situation with my own little brother. If you have the time to play this game, you 100% should, along with going for all the achievements.
I really liked the story, the protagonist were easy to connect to and enjoy playing as. I also really liked the art style of the game, some very nice scenery. Probably top 5 story games I've played.
If you're hispanic / latino and queer, this game is honestly for you. I loved it so much and teared up at some parts. It has good music, well written characters, and overall an amazing main character.
Absolute masterpiece. Literally left me speechless. Rich in story and emotion, hope it'll change your life like it did to mine!
Life is Strange 2 is not the first game... it isn't about Max and Chloe and while that may disappoint some, I think LiS DE proved Dontnod right to do brand new stories in a wider LiS world than keep shoving out Max and Chloe games. So what does LiS2 offer as its own game?
1. Beautiful graphics; playing this game at 4K 60fps (mostly higher) at max settings on mt RX 6950 XT is a treat and the art style and direction is on point just like LiS1 but of course with much improved fidelity. Also not a very hard game to run being 5 years old and never chasing super real graphics to begin with unlike modern games where you need a RTX 4090 to not even do 4K 60fps.
2. The story: This game story is best unspoiled and it is a long, emotional ride. Sean and Daniel are great characters, Lyla is the best bff who is precious, Brody is a legend and David in episode 5? It was great to see him again and as a better man building off of his redemption arc already starting in LiS1 episode 5 where he started to have realised his mistakes and errors even if that timeline got wiped out... it's proof he could very well change and improve after everything and saw he did. The Max and Chloe cameo with the photo and call are great and super respectful :D
3. Choices matter more: Basically yes choices can have minor consequences as with older LiS games but a lot of choices in LiS2, kinda building off of the 3/4 choices needed to have a more romantic acted on feelings relationship with Chloe in LiS1 actually have a full system with Daniel and Sean that does affect Daniel's behaviour in many situations and... the morality side you're on even changes what ending the final two choices the game gives you. I personally had high morality and I got Parting Ways first but I also Like Redemption where you surrender because I'd also called Lyla and that means she is there for Sean in the ending when he is released from prison which I really love... best friends forever. Both of them were emotional well done endings for me... and the final choice wow, it can't match me choosing to save the bay or Chloe but it is not slouch.
4. Soundtrack; Yeah this is a Dontnod game, yes it is a LiS game, yes the soundtrack is great and fits the moments that be the original score or the licensed stuff. Now LiS1 will forever have a soft spot and NOTHING gets more emotional than Spanish Sahara, Obstacles or Max and Chloe theme being perfect it even plays when David in episode 5 talks about them which hits hard, or stuff like Crosses being nice but this game has it's great pieces too, Blood Brothers theme is great for the ending, Banquet to dance with is perfection, DANCE is FH3 nostalgia to me but nice, Home is also a great piece. There is stuff to like here.
5. The themes of this game 5 years later hit even harder than at launch. The political stuff is even more relevant today with an impending 2nd term of a certain man (LiS2 was made during the 1st). Dontnod has always been great for their games going into heavy topics instead of shying away from them. LiS1 had them too but on different topics than LiS2. Some certain groups hate this game for the heavy serious stuff but that is their loss... or them getting called out. This game indeed shows what is AMERICA, some amazing people to help on the way but also some awful people out there too and systems that can be outright unfair.
Just... give this game a chance. Yes I love LiS1 foreva, yes it is the best, yes I miss Pricefield but Dontnod has made a great story here that deserves to be played either for your 1st time or given another chance by those who were disappointed "LiS2" wasn't a follow up on Max and Chloe. I always planned to play it when I got into LiS but DE gave me a good push as to why this was the far better choice instead of bringing them back. Episode 1 is free anyway as is and game gets cheap on discount so just do it. Play LiS2 instead of LiS DE slop, LiS2 is the only other Dontnod LiS game other than the first anyway and as far as I am concerned only Dontnod's are the true canon games. Even if I liked BTS (soundtrack in that especially) Deck Nine always had issues with respecting canon that were blatant even in BTS, Dontnod didn't with LiS2 vs 1. Yes, I recommend Life is Strange 2, please enjoy Dontnod's art.
This is my personal opinion
What I like about the game
-The choices REALLY matter
-I like the idea of traveling on foot and trying to survive
-As a big brother I like the idea of having brothers as main characters
-the game is a bit longer than the other LIS games
-I like the idea what they did with the LIS 1 and LIS Captain spirit games.. Like what you did in those games chances this game a little bit :D
What i dislike about the game
-Some things dont really make sense to me
-When you have to choose something usually all the choices are not really good..
-This feels like a trump protest or something :D
-When you get attached to certain character in the next 30 minutes something bad happens to them :D
But i have to say would recommend
kinda slow but the story is charming. Ending left me in pain :(
value of the game got multiplied by 10 the moment i realized we could make sean GAY
Daniel is annoying af.
Soundtrack and story are fine.
But damn, Daniel is such a pain in the ass.
This game RUINED ME :'( lol. Such a great and sad story. I felt all the feels in this game. Lots of anger and sadness and frustration. I really enjoy choices matter games and I really love how it affects relationships. It's hard to say how much it truly matters, but I do know there are multiple possible endings.
I thought about letting some time pass and trying to play again to get different outcomes. It is definitely replayable, but the emotion and surprise obviously only happens upon your first play though. Personally, my favorite part of this game was the story and the character personality and relationship progression.
beautiful game both visually and content wise, the choices feel realistic and the people withing it also feel real which makes the story even more sad. Recommend playing!
Daniel is such a douchebag worst written character in the history of video games, or any other fictional media. Seriously it takes skill to write such an annoying character good job to writers. WORST. CHARACTER. EVER. And I'm supposed to be nice to this spoiled brat? Go f yourself dude.
Game is alright, even tho characters and plot are less memorable that the first one, it's still a entertaining game for fans of the franchise
This game had me hooked from the start and was worth every second of game time. I hope to see a return of Sean and Daniel in the future!
This game is genuinely incredible, one of the best story games I've ever played. Because it's a choice based game, it's infinitely replayable, which gives you an even longer play experience above the usual 16 hour length. And it really sticks with you after you finish it. The story is incredible, and really heartfelt. The art style is really unique. Above all, It's not afraid to tackle some pretty heavy themes, which fit really well with the narrative and world portrayed. You genuinely care about these characters, and the arcs they go on.
I will warn you though, the first chapter, aside from the opening scene, is really fucking boring, and you do have to play it in order to understand the rest of the story. It mostly consists of walking, but once you get past that, the story gets GOOD.
Stop reading this and play it right now, I mean it. It's completely worth it, even at full price.
HEY! STOP READING THIS AND PLAY IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!
...
Uh..
Still reading this?
...
Ok.
Hey whats that?? *Points in the distance*
*Scuttles away, ending the review*
Amazing! I have a feeling this one was less appreciated than the rest in the series, but it was an incredible journey! I got emotional at the end.
Good story and good animation
This game I can relate to the main character. I had fun playing this game over and over again.
