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.

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
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!
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.
Probably the most underrated Life is Strange game but most definitely the best one out there, been following these games for so many years and finally got around to playing the 2nd one. Absolutely beautiful scenery and story. I appreciate the wider range of endings in comparison to the og game
Una de las mejores experencias.
La relación de Sean y Daniel es una de las más hermosas que he podido conocer.
Conecte mucho con Sean, la construcción y matices del personaje son increibles.
La música hace los momentos aún más especiales.
Cada capitulo es emocionante y majestuoso.
Todos deberían jugar este videojuego :3
I just finished this game and I already know I'll play it again after a while.
Atmosphere, music, story and life situations really made me feel like I was the main character with my lil bro. 10/10
By far the best game in this genre. Not sure if I'll find anything better than this game
This game genuinely changed my perspective on the world
probably one of my absolute favourite games ever and i don't say that lightly
by FAR the most impressive 'choices matter' aspect in the series, not only shaping the views others have on you, but also shaping your brother's views and the choices HE makes. however, i think (speculation) because of this, they had issues with being able to actually move the story along (if you always did the smart thing, wouldn't really be much of a story maybe?). there were quite a few things that felt out of character, and happened without letting you choose sean's decision, which was a bit jarring. it made me teeter between liking and disliking him, which i didnt feel with maxine, chloe, or alex at all. but yeah game is amazing, LiS on top (not surprising)
Great story
I'm a big fan of the Life is Strange series. The second game is a dignified representative of the genre. The thing I love about it is the story. I've enjoyed following the brothers' path to their destination. The atmosphere and vibe of the game is awesome! However, I can't help comparing the two wolves' story to the original game. Being a great game in isolation, it is somewhat worse than the previous one, especially regarding characters. They are a bit less charismatic and memorable. Still, Life is Strange 2 is an awesome game. I can recommend to everyone who enjoys story-based games.

It angers me that the best game of the series is actually the most underrated. But that also says a lot about our society, isn't? And still, even after almost 7 years this game is sadly still very a mirror of our current political climate. Of course mixed with a little bit of "Hollywood" and supernatural exaggerations ,its still a fictional game. But is has a very real and bittersweet aftertaste. The characters, especially, Sean are very well written. He felt so real, thank you for this game, it was a fuck up but I really enjoyed it.

This game was so sad.
Really good game! But be warned, it is depressing (more so than usual in LiS) and realistic (if you remove the superpowers of course).
POSITIVE :
- Music
- Graphics
- Plot
- Relationship between brothers
- Characters depths
- Scenario
- Makes you reflect on yourself and the world around you, denounce problems in our society
- Not afraid to show you bad things (characters death, injuries, betrayal,...)
NEGATIVE :
- No good positive ending! (which would not have been realistic with the game so it is a false point but I was so sad in the end :'( )
- Daniel is too much of a brat in episodes 3 and 4 in my opinion. I would have liked to see him behave like that if you have a bad relationship with him but be a bit better with a good relationship. It is possible to show adolescence crisis without making people want to strangle the character.
- Money is weird, would have liked to see a bit more difference depending on the behaviour of the player (if you keep your money in some episodes it still disappears later on)
amazing story, graphics and gameplay, words cant describe how much i love this game
Is a great game. I like the wolves brother so much. Both LIS and LIS 2 have some environment that makes me so connect to them.
honestly its corny as fuck, especially at the start, but js get past that first bit and it gets better trust
Square Enix said jump and Don't Nod closed the door on its greedy face instead – with a heartfelt conclusion to its Life is Strange anthology. I appreciate the road trip-ness of it all now. I see that upon its initial release I wasn't prepared for Sean and Daniel. Don't get me wrong, I loved this game deeply, but I think I still yearned for Arcadia – for an established set of characters, a mystery, a supernatural grand event ripping our hearts apart. Instead we run, see new people and places, have horrific and breathtaking experiences, become attached or resentful – always with one distinct act of letting it all go. Moving towards some imagination of our own intimately orchestrated destiny.
And what a wonderful cast we meet along the way! All with their own stories and darkness, never one thing entirely. I weirdly still love Karen the most; I like the rawness of a very real, grounded, and imperfect experience. And LiS2 is filled with them. It has a whole cascade of all possible environments, people, and unexpected circumstances that seemingly complicate life but also make it worth living. It translates self (and home) discovery perfectly, guiding our brother to be good and make good of himself while trying to reach that place ourselves.
To this day, I'm not sure what is the best ending for the Diaz brothers. I don't think there is one. It seems we simply try to do our best with each passing day. Like a current, an entwine of those decisions leads us to an answer. An answer we may not like. So I am very humbled to accompany Sean and Daniel on their road trip journey. AND for getting to see cool American scenery with every possible landscape diversification. Snow, lakes, mountains, cliffs, deserts, forestry, camping spots, remote communities, small and big city life... a love letter to the vulnerable mightiness of it all.
Very nice interactive story game (felt like it more like a Game-game) . Made me cry more than once . Anyone who has a younger sibling who they had to take care for will like this game and connect with it.
This is my favourite Life is Strange Game. As an Oldest daughter with 2 younger brothers, this game really hit home. Every choice I made i kept thinking what would I do to protect my brother and it was honestly really fun playing as the Older brother Sean. Both Sean and Daniel were portrayed amazingly, I felt really attatched to these characters, they were very relatable. Ive heard some people say that they didnt like that they couldnt play as the character with powers (Daniel) but I personally didnt have a problem with that. I really liked how your Choices as Sean influenced Daniel and Influences the way he can control his powers. Playing as the older sibling Sean, I like seeing the influences you have on Daniel based on your in game chosies. I wont say too much as I dont want to spoil anything but if you are worried about the protagonist not having supernatural powers, Id say its still worth the play.
If you have siblings this game is definitely a must buy. You will feel so emotionally attached to the characters and will have a great experience with this game. The first episode is a bit of a slow burner but my advice is stick with it as the game gets amazing.
me when my life exhibits quite peculiar events in equal and opposite reaction to unfortunate catalysts beholden upon my fictitious brother in blood and my own person :
If you want to have the best night ever but also cry play this :)), love the entire life is strange franchise this game is so good and so sad
boring and preachy, with none of the heart, intrigue, or subversiveness of the original. i have no idea how the same developers of the heartfelt, thought-provoking masterpiece that is Life is Strange managed to get this so wrong.
the telekinesis mechanic turned out to be a massive disappointment; the power is not controlled by the main character and is not interleaved with the (incredibly bland) gameplay in any way. i found some of the game design and directing decisions to be highly questionable, like the countdowns on minor dialogue choices, the camera not looking at the characters during conversations, and the long, pointless, time-wasting cutscenes. most of our choices also have no impact until the game ends.
as for the characters, it's hard to get emotionally invested in anyone on this road trip when the main characters are bland at best and downright unlikable at worst – with the most likeable one dying very early on – while the rest are both forgettable and quickly forgotten.
and then there's the cartoonishly bad writing. my suspension of disbelief was destroyed by the fact that the inciting incident propelling the entire story forward just doesn't make sense. the political messaging also comes across as ham-fisted and prejudiced, with the writing and characterisation being so shallow and contrived i could tell who was going to be good or bad from appearances alone.
all in all, this was a slog to get through and a disappointment. not recommended. what a tremendous fall from grace.
Keeping playing has been very difficult as the game pacing is very slow and everything spins around negative emotions.
There is a profound lack of positive characters as everyone seems to be troubled or emotionally broken.
I personally felt like wasting my time throughout the entire game except the ending, which was very well done.
Telltale TWD but Clementine is a spoiled brat that overrides your choices and railroads the story into an episodic trek through a US painted by french people
It was OK, but not as good as the original, the prequel, or life is strange true colors.
This is the Single best story game i have ever played, the characters, the plot, the music everything about this game was made to perfection
The game play hardly qualifies as game play. Just sit and watch and on rare occasions walk around briefly and make choices which are often overridden anyway because the characters are absolutely obnoxious wastes of oxygen. Looking over the reviews you will find people who actually like the people in this game. I don't see how that's possible.
I don't mind a game that is 80% movie 20% game like this one is, but when the story and characters are absolute trash it makes it failed on so many levels. Especially since at a certain point the character you control becomes absolutely unnecessary to the story as all the action revolves around what your brother does. Which could be an interesting twist if your brother actually listened to you and did what you say, but half the time he'll go off in a fit of childish upset and do the opposite. So half the time you're controlling a character who has no real ability to do anything and even what you want the character to do doesn't get carried out.
I enjoyed Life is Strange but the sequel is so bad I'll think twice and then maybe 3 or 4 more times about ever buying a game in the series again.
It’s a decent game, but I didn’t like it as much. Would give it a neutral rating, if there were one.
I found the story unrelatable, the characters, except the brother, were either unlikable or just too shallow, and the story flowed in a terrible way. As soon as things went to well, generic racist is unleashed upon the poor bros to give them same beating and that’s that.
Also, the choices of the game often weren’t satisfying. I tell Daniel to be a good kid, but then bad choices are forced upon me. How am I supposed to be a good role model if the game won’t let me? And why do I have money if I can’t even spend it?
All in all, its an okay game, and since there aren’t that many similar games, it’s certainly scratching an itch, but it also falls short in many aspects.
Life is Strange 2 was an emotional journey I never expected but am so grateful to have experienced. I can’t believe I waited so long to play it, I should have picked it up sooner! This game doesn’t just tell a story; it immerses you in one. The characters feel real, with struggles and growth that hit close to home, and the decisions you make genuinely shape your path, leaving you questioning right and wrong. The bond between the brothers, Sean and Daniel, is beautifully crafted, and navigating their challenges left a deep impact on me. Life is Strange 2 is more than a game, it’s a heartfelt journey that challenges empathy, morality, and what family truly means. Highly recommended if you’re ready for a story that will stay with you long after the credits roll.
I played the first game many years ago, loved it all: the vibes, the story, the choices... This game's been sittin' for a while in my library, had forgotten when I bought and just a couple of days ago I... "found" it. I've been playin' it since. It has all what you can expect if you finished the first game but with a new excitin' story and dinamic, since you don't get the power this time nor to control it.
longer then first and just as good. also made me cry like a baby
