Life is Strange 2

I played through episode 2 and 3 of this today. I'm honestly not a big fan of these TellTale style games because there's not a lot to do in them but watch and choose paths in the story, but I found myself moved by the end of episode 2 and torn by tough decisions in episode 3. It's really well done for what it is. 

I also noticed how they integrated the events of Captain Spirit into the Life is Strange 2 story. No spoilers but it was well done.

I was trying to compete with Mark for achievements but I didn't get many from Life is Strange 2. I got about two per episode for about 60 points each. Mark was playing a casual puzzle game and unlocking achievements at the completion of every puzzle. He's way ahead of me now. I'll have to work harder to catch up. 

At the end of each episode they show you your decisions as they compared to others. In looking at them I noticed that some events could turn out very differently depending on what decisions you make. It's not radically different outcomes but different enough for some of the characters. It's interesting. 

Well, more tomorrow. I'm making my weekend Thurday after work and all day Friday for the forseealbe future.

Before TellTale made nothing but Walking Dead "follow your nose" adventures, they did make some TRUE point and click adventures that were very funny and charming.  Like Sam & Max and Wallace & Gromit games, to name a few.  I know the Walking Dead games were successful for them, but I think making nothing but those kinds of games ultimately lead to their downfall.

I definitely prefer the Life is Strange series because there's a lot more exploration and easter eggs and you feel more in control imo. 

TellTale games have less of that from the ones I've played, and frankly I also enjoy the LiS art style more. 

Also find them more relatable than, say, Batman ...

Yeah, the Life is Strange series is a definite improvement from the Telltale style of game. More freedom and better graphics. I did experience a few bugs and crashes like I did with the Telltale games, though, but they weren't that serious.

I always saw these games as an interactive movie. I wasn't into the Back To The Future one, but I really dug the first Batman game. I haven't tried any of the others. Are you playing this game multiple times with the "good" and "bad" choices?

No. I considered replaying to find all the collectibles but the game moves very slowly, and I don't think I can sit through it again. 

i liked Tales from the Borderlands and played that one twice.

I played the first episode of the first Life Is Strange. Really liked it. But got distracted.

That's all I've played of the first one too. I suppose I might play it completely if it got added to Game Pass. It's not the sort of game I usually play but it's interesting when it's free.
