Has anyone else played this one?

I’ve played through the first four episodes this week while I’m on vacation, and I don’t think the writing in a game has punched me in the gut to this extent since Bioshock or Dragon Age: Origins. (Though Detroit: Become Human is a close equivalent.)

I’m just blown away by the writing.

    I played the original. It’s a good game. Incredibly interesting story. Lots of emotions, characters well thought out. I’m just terrible at finishing any game, so I never got far.

    Yup. The Max stories have been the best ones. The character writing remains strong in this one after Double Exposure, but the game loses track of some of its own time travel rules, and the actions that determine your ending could have been telegraphed better.

    Yeah, I really enjoyed the first couple, and The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is a really beautiful little thing that ties in to Life Is Strange 2, but stands on its own nicely.

    LiS2 didn’t touch me as much as the first, and :Before the Storm, but it’s still enjoyable enough. I haven’t played True Colors though.
