Life Is Strange 2 is an episodic graphic adventure game developed by Dontnod Entertainment and published by Square Enix. It is the second main entry of the Life Is Strange series, and was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The first episode was released in September 2018, with the fifth and final episode being released in December 2019. macOS and Linux versions were released shortly after the release of the final episode, developed and published by Feral Interactive.
The player takes control of Sean Diaz, a Mexican-American teenager. Sean can interact with the environment, obtain objects, and talk with non-player characters via dialogue trees. Choices made in Life Is Strange 2 lead to different branches in the storyline and affect the behavior of Daniel and other characters. In addition, some decisions that were made in the game demo The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit carry over into Life Is Strange 2.
The Verge said in their review that the game "wades into more political, timely topics", with the first episode set in October 2016, right before the 2016 United States presidential election. The characters yell about "building walls" and worry what will happen if Donald Trump wins the election, and that it felt like a "powerful statement about American politics during a very tense time". They also said the "dialogue is awkward and feels like it was run through a teen translator, but there are moments that feel authentic...and it’s also filled with lots of beautiful, quiet moments". Overall though, they stated you can still enjoy the game even if you haven't played previous entries in the series.
In their verdict, IGN also opined about the underlying political atmosphere of the game. They saw the first episode of the game as a "bigger, more complex story than told by its predecessor, charting a cross-country road trip across Donald Trump’s America", going on to say that "though its social criticisms feel broad and rather clumsy, its core story of brotherhood and fraternity between two believable characters is enormously touching," concluding that "it makes time for small details and quiet moments, and when it does it’s capable of a beauty we rarely see in video games".
