almost 4 years ago

When you play a movie style game, it attracts you, regardless of the gameplay.
Life is Strange 2 is a unique cinematic experience in the world of games that puts you at the heart of the event in the full sense of the word and makes you the director in the game.

The first part of the game tells the story of two girls who are trying to retrieve old memories of their friendship, as they predict a disaster to come and try to return in time.

As for our second part, we will talk about it, it tells us a social story with a unique nature, as it tells us the story of two brothers who fled to Mexico and try to survive and survive in a purely tragic story in light of a bitter reality in which they live and a human nature that does not show mercy to anyone and the feelings of love and fulfillment between the two brothers will be revealed and you will find You sympathize with them and some scenes may make you cry.

The story

The story begins in a very ordinary way, as Sean begins preparing for some party supplies prepared by his friends, and he wishes himself to meet the girl he likes and how he will start talking to her, and our events began in Seattle, USA.
Yes, here we have a natural story for the life of any young man at this age who has fun with his friends and lives his life that is planned smoothly and without the slightest problems, but life does not continue with the color always, but the black color sometimes comes to disturb us with the serenity of life where a fight will occur in the neighborhood in which he lives and the police come To arrest his father, but after the resistance, the police fire on his father !!
The policeman was not satisfied with that, but he tried to shoot Sean and his brother Daniel, but a strange surprise occurs, where an explosion adds the neighborhood to wake up John, and the policeman is found dead and begins his journey to escape from the police to Mexico, where they owned a piece of land where they could start life.

This is where the story actually begins. Poor brothers are trying to escape and find a new life elsewhere. Their lives have been turned upside down. Will they survive? What are the obstacles that they will meet on their way?

An impression of the story

The story tells us stories of racism that many people suffered before the 2016 elections, so the developer here wants to convey a greater meaning to us than boys struggling in life.
Where the story mainly talks about immigrants from Mexico and the aggression that took place against them, and regardless of political events and conflicts, tolerance and justice must prevail among all on the ground.
Hate is bad food for the soul, making man lose his humanity and turn into evil.
We will not go into much events and we will compel you to judge the game yourself through the story and the events in it.
We come to another point for children who live a reality greater than their age. We have an eight-year-old who is trying to adapt to a situation greater than his ability.
He tries to teach himself a way of life and to live in that nature until he and his brother survive.

Gameplay

As for the choices in the way to play, they are different and give you a great variety, here we will talk about the justified actions of Sean. For example, stealing food from the stores. The destiny here is inevitable in front of Sean, so that he and his brother live. In spite of that, his brother Daniel was not seen as a thief but rather as an ideal.
A difficult responsibility fell upon a young boy to preserve his and his brother's life.
In this game you will learn how to gradually play in normal life and how you will play the role of a father and mother with that character "Sean"
You don't have a lot of Actions in the game but it seems like a movie or series that you follow as a director and control it.

Graphics

We come here to the graphics point, which became much better by breaking the wonderful engine that was the reason for the success of many games, which is the Unreal Engine, who portrayed us a quiet natural life with excellent graphics and accuracy of trees and buildings and you will enjoy while you look at the environment around you.
Likewise, for the characters, what caught my attention are the facial expressions that were wonderful and appropriate for the situations and feelings of sadness that you find on Sean's face. In addition to the characters and the story, the soundtrack develops an enjoyable and appropriate event, especially in the moments that affect the relationship of the two brothers.
