Totally surpassed my expectations. I admit I was under the impression that Telltale titles other than The Walking Dead weren't very good. The illusion of choice is strong in this game. I know barely anything about Borderlands and it kept me hooked the entire time (aside from the first boring half of Episode 5). Feels like it does a good job of easing one into the universe without being too confusing. The writing is a little awkward sometimes, but it has a great charm, and is honestly funny. In Loader Bot we trust.

I wanted to play this game, just out of interest, and I finished it in less than an hour and a half. Somehow has worse voice acting than the original Resident Evil. Every line has varying quality of echo, especially the little girl, whose voice actor recorded their lines in a cave. There is not much to this game. It's meant to be played with a light gun technically, which may be marginally more enjoyable than slowly scrolling left to right, unloading my infinite ammo into enemies. Speaking of left to right - it's frustrating how you can't look up or down, especially when everything is not exactly eye level with your character. If you're in the right position, you can just literally run past everything. Even the thousand Mr. Xs. The final boss has a creepy design, but it's annoying as hell. Overall, it's OK. Also my first thought when seeing his design was "Ethan?"

For a game that ISN'T about time travel, it sure skips around a lot, which is my biggest issue. You get introduced to a big cast of characters in one episode only for them to get shifted aside to a whole new cast in another episode. And it's not like we're meeting them at the same time as Sean - he's known them for weeks now... and then they're just gone.

I don't want to have to read a bunch of journal entries to understand what's going on. This story has a beginning and end, but doesn't know what it wants to do inbetween, so it just feels disjointed. Sometimes it just felt like I was spending three hours wandering around until the actual action came in right at the end (for the cool music video, of course!)

Life is Strange 2 suffers from what the first one did with the "important" dialogue choices. You are not Sean (or Max) so you don't get choices that are out of character for them. You get choices that Sean (or Max) would make, so it's extremely frustrating sometimes. This isn't The Walking Dead Game, it's way less ambiguous with who your character is.

I disliked Sean's mumbling. He is definitely the weakest voice actor. He has a sweet voice, but it seems like the only thing he's good at is pretending to cry. Any actual emotion is void. One example is him telling Daniel to "STOP!" in Episode 3. Despite that, I really felt for him. Daniel has his problems, but honestly, he's a nine year old that likes playing Minecraft. I don't blame him for the way he acts in certain situations. The only issue I had with him was in Episode 4 (where I almost hoped Sean would leave him there).

ANYWAY the original score is really good and the game looks pretty, though it makes my PS4 sound like a spaceship.
