‘Life is Strange 2: Episode 1’ crafts a strong beginning to new story

by Emily Worrell Disclaimer: This review is based on the PC version of the game and was played on a PC with Intel Core i5-8250U, 8 GBs of RAM. As an avid fan of Life is Strange, I was surprisingly nervous to pick up the sequel. I wanted to be enthralled and drawn in the way I was with the first game, and was terrified that the sequel would be a half-hearted attempt to recreate everything that the first one had done so wonderfully. However, Life is Strange 2 delivers for fans of the series and welcomes them back into the Life is Strange universe without becoming a recreation of the first game.
