Life Is Strange 2
Best Video Game Stories of 2019
After the success of the original Life Is Strange and the unexpectedly brilliant follow-up in Before the Storm, it was hard to imagine that the sequel from Dontnod would ever match the peaks of the first story and its characters. And yet, Life Is Strange 2 is proving to be every bit as harrowing and hard-hitting as the original.
Granted, we’re only a couple episodes in and there’s still a lot of story left, but from what we’ve seen so far, Life Is Strange 2 is definitely on track to being one of the best video game stories we’ll see in 2019.
Protagonists Sean and Daniel provide this interesting brotherly dynamic that isn’t all that common in the video game market, and it certainly resonates with players who share strong connections with their siblings. Taking control of older brother Sean, players are constantly forced to make tough decisions while balancing between being a good role model for Daniel and keeping him safe at all costs.
