I'll start by saying that I'm 100% biased. I played the original LiS at a very dark time in my life, and I'm very emotionally attached to the original cast.

That being said, is this game exactly what I wanted? No, it simply isn't. But that's ok, life is not a path of roses, sometimes ♥♥♥♥ just sucks, and this franchise is really good at showing that, even if it's a let down sometimes. I'm glad I didn't believe the drama around this game and gave it an honest, blind shot. That was good 14 hours.

Tbh I'm just glad I got an update on Max. It genuinely felt like catching up with that one highschool friend you haven't seen in years

The story starts out pretty normal, but it destroys the previous game's history. As time goes on, the story gets stupid, forgets what their goal was and just wants to end. The graphics may decieve you into thinking it's good, but the blur is attrocious. Don't nod, if they make another game, please come back

I don't know how I feel about the ending, but the rest of the game was just alright.
All I know for sure is..
Man.
I miss Chloe.
Would only recommend it if you have some weird attachment to the first game, if you're new go play before the storm or the first game they're a bunch better imo
