- what is life is strange 2?

life is strange 2 (LIS2), created by don't nod and published by square enix, is the 2nd main game in the life is strange franchise. it's a story-based game where player choices could potentially affect later parts of the story!

the game follows the diaz brothers, sean and daniel, who were forced to run away from their home in seattle due to a fatal incident. dun dun duuun...

!!! : as mentioned, there will be spoilers in this shrine. they will be marked and blocked out like this - ⸜(。^ ᵕ ^ )⸝ hello! just hover over the hidden text if you'd like to reveal it!

if you haven't played LIS2, i recommend you to do so! (as well as the first game in the franchise which follows max caulfield - i'll make a shrine on it eventually!) but if you don't care about spoilers, then have fun poking around. there's a looot to read... sorry.

- so.. what's the appeal?

LIS2 covers a lot of different themes. this includes racism/xenophobia, brotherhood, morality, and so on. i loooved the relationship between sean and daniel, especially how our choices as sean can impact their brotherhood and shape daniel's behaviour throughout the story. i also liked the "road trip" structure of this game (though it definitely wasn't the typical happy-go-lucky road trip.. lol...) the constant change of locations and new characters made the story all the more interesting for me!

i'm aware that when LIS2 first came out, it wasn't recieved that well by some fans. i mean, i understand why, considering how different it is when compared to its predecessor. personally, i love both LIS1 and LIS2 equally. it's all up to personal preference and how you connect with it, i guess! i have my own reservations about certain aspects of LIS2 but i'll get into those later.
