Life Is Strange 2 is an episodic graphic adventure video game developed by Dontnod Entertainment and published by Square Enix. It will be the second main entry of the Life is Strange series.

GAMEPLAY :

Life Is Strange 2 is a graphic adventure played from athird-person view. The player takes control of Sean Diaz, who is on the run from the police with his younger brother Daniel. Sean can interact with the environment, obtain objects, and talk with non-players characters via dialogue trees. Decisions that were made in the game demo "The Awesome adventure of captain spirit" will carry over into Life is Strange 2. Choices in Life Is Strange 2 will lead to different branches in the storyline and affect Daniel's behaviour.


SYNOPSIS :

After an apparent supernatural incident leaves a cop dead, brothers Sean, 17, and Daniel Diaz, 9, go on the run and travel from their hometown of Seattle to Puerto Lobos, Mexico.


DEVELOPMENT :

Prior to production, developer Dontnod Entertainment decided that Life Is Strange 2 would feature new characters and a new location to the original. Led by Life is Strange directors Michel Koch and Raoul Barbet, development on the sequel began in early 2016, while the predecessor shipped its retail edition. Life Is Strange lead writers Christian Divine and Jean-Luc Cano and composer Jonathan Morali also reprise their roles. The concept was influenced by the photography of Mike Brodie, who would freighthop across the United States and take pictures of drifters. The game is structured like a road movie, inspired by the film "Into the Wild" and novella "Of mice and men". Dontnod conducted field research on the West Coast of the United States, meeting people and taking pictures there. The two primary themes of the game are education and brotherhood. Using the Unreal Engine 4 they upgraded the animation system, physics and shaders. According to Dontnod, one of the biggest challenges of development was the artificial intelligence of the character Daniel. The music will contain both original and licensed tracks.


RELEASE :

The first of five total episodes, Roads (formerly called Seattle), was released on 27 September 2018 for Playstation 4, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows. We don't know yet for the others episodes.


I'm so excited 🙂. I just bought the first episode, I'm gonna playing it. What about you people ? Come in this thread share your adventure/choices with us 😉 but please don't forget to use the function Spoiler.
 
This was weak. I am not happy so far.

WHAT ??? Please tell me you're not serious. I just finished the first episode, it was ****ing awesome, can't wait for the second episode. You gotta be kidding I'm sure. We have the drama, the sequence emotion, the family bond, good memories of Arcadia Bay, charismatic characters, good dialogues, beautiful graphics, what's not to like ?

I am totally serious.

The two main scenes - the dad's death and Daniel's rage - were just too much. The game has barely started and the dad - who seems to be the nicest dad in the history of dads - is brutally murdered. I wish we could have spent the first episode in Seattle, so that we would have the time to get attached to the place and the characters.

Daniel is poor substitute for Chloe, Rachel and the rest of the supporting cast from the previous games. The High School setting allowed for a diverse cast. I am not all that excited about spending the entire game with a very bland 8 year old.

The good characters are too good and the bad characters are too bad. Chloe and Rachel were difficult friends to have, because they were self involved and impulsive. Step-douche wasn't as bad as he first seemed. Neither were Victoria and Nathan. The alcoholic dad in Captain Spirit was another great character. In this game, everyone is either a raving Trump-supporter or the nicest guy ever, even if they like to watch porn in public.

I liked the cartoon with the hot dog and the bread. That was the best part.
