Life is strange 2 is an emotional and engaging story with protagonists and topics most studios won't touch, the game tells a story that reflects our current world, it’s more relatable than we'd like to think it’s possible.
The bond between Sean and Daniel has been the heart of this story. Every choice you make, you see whether they just affect Sean, Daniel or both of them, and the choices actually matter, in the first game you can see the consequences of your actions really fast, but in Life is Strange 2, it's not really visible from the beginning, but it will shape the behavior of Daniel, and his behavior will change a lot along their journey and it will all contribute to the ending you’ll get. There's so much character development for Sean, he changes so much from one episode to another and by the end of episode 5 he's not the same sweet boy we met in episode 1, perhaps he'll never be that person again, there's naturally more tension in creating a teenager character who is forced to be a parent to their younger sibling way before they are ready. The idea of what it means to evolve as a parent comes off strong, the moral choices are difficult to make, but that's the intention, to try to make the right decision for Daniel even as he's showing how much he hates you. It's even harder to make moral choices when you're forced into a lifestyle that most would consider immoral for children.

This story is so important and it shows the reality of lgbtq+ folks and poc who are homeless in a country where bigotry unfortunately starts to become a 'common' reality. The force that the characters are running from, is the constant spectre of racially motivated violence, the plot is kicked off by that kind of violent incident, a situation that happens everyday in the world, not to mention the complexity of characters when you put it all together: there *are* homeless bisexual boys doing their best to raise their sibling after recently losing their father to a tragic and unnecessary act.

A lot of people have been complaining about political topics in the game, let me tell you something: If they didn't talk about politics, that would be a political message, homeless kids, racism and xenophobia are a real thing, but you say It's politics when a Mexican dad is killed leaving two homeless boys to survive, but good story telling when white girls are murdered? Ok. I see you. I see exactly what you are saying.

I can only hope the people who love Life is Strange 1 can give Life is Strange 2 a chance because it’s a really deeply moving game about a different kind of life, about how powerless life can feel but still getting up and trying, even when really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ stuff happens. Don’t get me wrong, I love Life is Strange 1 but I relate a lot more to Life Is Strange 2, Chloe and Max were my friends but Sean and Daniel are like my family. Two different kinds of love. I fully understand the love for the first game, I love it too, the world delt queer girls a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ hand and this was representation and love, the world also is dealing a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ hand to Mexican Americans and a sensitive bisexual boy and to say it’s not realistic says a lot about what kind of person you are.
Whichever direction you take Sean and Daniel's lives, chances are you'll feel responsible for their fates. It's personal. And because it's personal, it's memorable. That's about the utmost positive quality for this style of story.

I’m gonna miss Sean and Daniel Diaz so much!
