The universe feels authentic, from its beautiful music to its pretty nature scenes. This theme comes back in the ending of the game.īut you can tell that you’re in the Life Is Strange universe because the game asks you at the outset what life-or-death choice you made in the ending of the original Life Is Strange, and it also asks you in Episode 2 if you played the short game, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, as the decisions in that game affect the boys as well. Some strangers are kind and try to help them, while others are openly racist. On the road, as the boys try to survive, they meet various strangers. You find this detail embedded throughout the world. When you explore the rooms of the boys, you see the influence of the mixed heritage, with typical American superhero obsessions and the occasional reference to their Latin background. Their mother, Karen, left the family not long after Daniel was born, and their father raised them on his own. The game immerses us in the Mexican American culture of the boys, where Sean calls his brother “enano” (“dwarf”), but they are far more Americanized than their father.
While the previous games focused on female teens, this is the first title that deals with males. Life Is Strange 2 takes place in the same universe as the previous games - Life Is Strange (2015) and Life Is Strange: Before the Storm (2017). Dontnod’s strong point is creating interesting characters, both as heroes and villains, but mostly as ordinary people.
