Life is Strange 2 is far more ambitious than its predecessor. It’s set up to be a story about a family through the eyes of two Hispanic brothers, but the game quickly wades into more political, timely topics. The first episode is set quite obviously in October 2016, just weeks before the election of Donald Trump.

‘Roads’ is a heart-breaking leg of an emotional journey that never feels limited by its medium. I’ve played seasons of other choice-driven narrative games that had less emotion and heart than this five-hour odyssey. With Life is Strange 2, DONTNOD has upgraded and refined every element that made its forebear successful, whilst sprinkling some magical new additions into the mix to create an essential genre-pushing experience that isn’t just for fans.
