🎮 Platform: PS5
⌚ Time to finish - 10h
🏆Trophy completion - 61% (Did all trophies in ch1, but then stopped in ch2 onwards. I do not recommend trophy on first play since it reduces immersion. Some trophies require you to replay mini games, reload a chapter to pick alternative dialogue options,. There is chapter select, but no sub chapter select, so you cannot go exactly where you need to and have to resort to strategic saves. I do not recommend to plat this though its easy. I wish they made this more like life is strange true colors where you can just jump where you need to for trophy.)
Overall I really liked this game. They learned from the mistakes of s2 and really picked it up a notch here, though not as good as s1, still very enjoyable. The game mixes, slow character development beats, with tension /conflict, and tough decisions. Story is memorable as s1 was. Definitely a must play as they go back to the s1 roots here.
Pros:
touching/emotional story, focuses on AJ + Clem relationship as s1 focused on clem + lee
Captivating story and well written even if we've seen the theme before or basically humans fighting humans again
Character growth for clem + AJ was nice to watch
Cons:
The QuickTime events + mini games are less forgiving, and sometimes felt undefined in their goal. So I kept dying and getting frustrated.
QuickTime events did not capture key presses so sometimes i had to spam the keys just before quick time events even showed up on screen.
Sometimes the team/character building beats were boring. Cliché, campfire truth or dare type chats to reveal people's inner motivations.
Game looks ugly to me. Its werid 3d comic book black and white but not really. Looked odd.
not automatic 100% trophy like before
