It only really comes up in once scene, but I do like the idea. Right now, however, I can’t judge how well it has been executed. I like the idea of this mechanic as it can lead to tense situations in the future between stealing, begging, and buying necessities. Sean has to worry about money for buying food so they don’t starve to death. Of course, being on the run is difficult. It’s nice to take a break to observe and draw the beautiful scenery. Of course, nature isn’t the only thing Sean and Daniel have to worry about. Life is Strange 2 isn’t impressive graphically from a technical standpoint, but the unique art style makes leaning back, looking at the trees a relaxing and enjoyable experience. These happy moments during the chaos are fantastic and keep the tone from becoming too depressing.Īnother good way to take a break is to just let Sean think for a bit is to sit down and draw, or just enjoy the view. Okay, I was vehemently against that last one.
LIFE IS STRANGE 2 CALL LYLA HOW TO
This lead to moments of teaching from how to skip rocks, to building a base together. Since I’m not an emotionless robot, yet, I chose to be as nice to Daniel as I could. I also enjoyed all the bonding opportunities this scenario created. They banter back and forth, and as an older brother myself, this felt very relatable. I really felt Sean’s plight and I wanted Daniel to be safe at all costs. Sean and Daniel alone in the woods opens up some great interactions rife for characterization. Once you power through this opening, however, the game gets good- really good.
Leading Daniel through the woods is an excellent bonding experience. When an entire scene can only happen because of dumb luck and everyone being stupid then it isn’t a very good scene.
This is what kicks off Daniel and Sean being on the run. He sees some kid having a seizure on the ground so what does he do? What any good cop would do of course! Pulls his gun and threatens the two unarmed kids instead of helping the kid having a seizure. Then a cop shows up and he is also stupid. If you choose confront, it pretty much just turns into a pushing match and Sean shoves him so he accidently trips, lands on a rock, and has a seizure. It’s almost Halloween so Daniel made some fake blood out of corn syrup which he ends up spilling on the neighbor, which leads up to him being mad, which catches Sean’s attention, and you can either choose to question Daniel or confront the bully. It is caused because everyone is stupid which just makes it feel forced. The scene that really kicks off the game and sends Sean and Daniel on the run is bad. Thankfully, the dialogue gets dramatically better after this first segment. Lyla isn’t a bad character, I find her much more manageable after the beginning segment, but hearing her call Sean a “thirsty bitch” and hearing how she gets so “emo” sometimes while Sean is rocking a Squad hoodie, is a clear indication that this segment was written through the lens of an adult speaking as a teenager, not representative of actual teenage banter. The banter between protagonist Sean and his best friend Lyla is awkward.
Life is Strange 2: Episode one gets off to a rocky start.
