The plot they find themselves caught up in though, is a different matter…. We expected great things from the subsequent episodes but what we got was an incredibly slow-paced ramble through the backwoods of America and a purposefully dull mini-game about harvesting weed. A lot of the problem here is the fact that Life Is Strange 2 is episodic and so quieter moments of the story, that would have been taken in their stride as part of a normally structured game, can end up taking up the majority of an episode. The last episode was released in January, which is an absurd amount of time to wait for a gameplay experience that is barely more than two hours long.

I briefly forgot all of this was happening in a series about characters with unexplained superpowers, even as it was giving me stressful flashbacks to moments from my own youth. One of the biggest reasons that first season of Life Is Strange struck such an emotional cord, helping it become enough the kind of unexpected phenomenon to justify a series instead of a one-off story, is because of the romantic relationship—first implied, then explicit—between Chloe and Max. While there are technically options for Max to become romantically involved with a guy, Life Is Strange is popularly read as a slowly blossoming romance between two queer women. The startled cop shoots their father. Sean, realizing the police are likely to be suspicious of two Mexican kids in such mysterious circumstances, decides running off is the best option. In that regard, this episode, where Daniel and Sean are trying to make ends meet on a hidden weed farm, is a trip; it attempts mostly successfully, I think to condense the early, awkward phases of a romance into a few hours. Until this point, Sean has spent most of his time struggling to embrace a new role as a father figure.
