Tried REALLY hard to not spoil. This was a tough one so I just kept it prior to the one big story element and footage I admit isn't always the best to fit that. Just very hard. Game wise though I loved it. And I would love you to come by the patreon www.patreon.com/AngryCentaurGaming swing in and help keep no bs reviews alive. Also remember we are live streaming the Sony event today and also have the 6 year anniversary event tomorrow on the podcast!

[@DummyUrD]

I think you did great in this review, really spoke about the important bits without revealing too much, the right amount of teasing as you will! With that being said, I am that much more surprised that you didn't get at all into the story elements of Wrath of the Righteuous a few days ago.

[@christopherbergren3254]

Two session done when supposed to do some work this weekend. DeckNine keep raising the flag after Before the Storm and well, even more tears and emoational experience this time around. Just an amazing feat to keep DontNod:s perfect vision alive and evolving. And as you said (as with all previous entries) you never want them to end, so you keep replaying them. Great review, even after I just finished the game =)

[@christopherbergren3254]

Would have loved some nice romantic scenes with one:s romatic choice though (in my case Steph, and thankyou for bringing her back. Looking forward to the special release later this month based on her)

[@malakaijudah]

You saying "gabe had to die" kinda spoiled more than half the first chapter. I felt every choice i made in the first half chapter revolved sround that fact. You could've still gave an effective review without taking away from us discovering the plot on our own

[@christopherbergren3254]

@@malakaijudah The Gabe-fate is more or less written in to all promotion of the gabe, so never read amything beforehand to avoid accidental spoilers. However, that one reveal doesnt spoil the experience. Might even enhance it in a fateful way. This game is wonderful.

What bugs me is the whole game takes place on ONE STREET. You don’t really get to explore Haven Springs 🙄

[@techguyml]

Because it’s not a game. It’s a cg movie that occasionally lets you press a button.

My wife and I’s only gripe with the game was it felt way too short. I’m used to playing LIS episodes that were like 2+ hours long, but the final episode clocked in at only an hour and twenty minutes! These characters were so dynamic and i wish we could’ve spent more time with them.

[@twuandixon8675]

Nothing worse than a short game tbh, that's my literal worst thing. Was so bummed on miles morales.

I actually enjoyed Life is Strange 2 because I thought the brother relationship was really strong, but I'm glad to hear there's more subtlety to the characterization in this one. I think even the first game suffered from that but was saved by the narrative and cool gameplay hook.

[@FreshTillDeath56]

These kinds of games really aren't my jam, but damn you're right. These face animations look absolutely STUNNING. I liked the Walking Dead, so many I should give this series a go. Thanks for the excellent review as always.

Did you play the first season of life is strange? It starts out slow, but by episode 3 or 4 things are really in full swing. These games have become a fall tradition for me, I make some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and a cup of chai tea and play an episode a night for my week of vacation.

5-6 hours is not enough gameplay for a $60 game no matter how good.

[@bluemooninthedaylight8073]

I'd argue a game is worth it if it has replay value.

[@christar331]

Life is strange: True Colors is not episodic so you can buy the game and you'll immediately get access to all 5 episodes. Each episode is two hours long so technically it's around 10 hours. Google says it's 14h but whatever I've knocked down and watched KZbinrs spend 3 hours just for the 1st episode. So it depends on well you nail thru it.

[@lukekarts]

It took me 11 hours, 5-6 would be a proper rush, ignoring everything but the "objective" playthrough I think

[@PigPharmaceuticals]

I dunno, I feel like even 10-15 hours for a full price game is really pushing it. Replay value is also questionable depending on whether or not the game is 90% the same in every playthrough save for minor changes.

[@sierra5280]

IDK where they got 5-6 hours, it took me 8 1/2 and I rushed through it. Still, I think it should be longer for the price. It's a good game though, especially if you wait for a sale I think it would be worth it.

[@kutlumzrak2689]

Making the superpower of the protagonist of a narrative game being an actual empath was a stroke of genius. This game is incredible.

[@JoeSkeen]

[@BigBoiTurboslav]

@@ShadowGhostHD Same. I think LiS1&2 to me were trying too hard to relate but since they were written by middle aged French men it came across as pretentious. True Colors felt a lot more natural, the character chemistry and overall writing is a lot better so it felt so much more immersive.

[@ShadowGhostHD]

@@BigBoiTurboslav I enjoyed True Colors, but I didnt like the "just in an area" - thing. In LIS 1, LIS BTS, LIS 2 there were more areas to be. It felt like an adventure, a trip to different places. The diversity was on a larger scale. The relationships formed very slow and didn't progress, because the game just ends there. Or some relationships just don't get more complex. I enjoyed True Colors, but it was kinda a disappointment for me.

[@BigBoiTurboslav]

@@ShadowGhostHD Yeah, you do have a good point. The weird thing I realized with True Colors was that I was REALLY enjoying the game but I didn't care about the main story all that much. I was so much more into the LARP, festival and just hanging out in the town rather than solving the mystery. I think that's probably also why it's such a hit/miss for people since in the previous games the mystery/adventure aspect is more focused. To be honest it's probably also out of all the games the most personally relatable for me so that probably hits the hardest.

[@roseidol4796]

Tbh I don't mind it if it were just a scene with LARP role playing in this game, but it was more than a scene. It was almost completely the entire third episode of this game and a lot less story elements. I do like role playing but when you're playing a game like this you want the actual story. I can role play in real life, to spend almost the entire episode role playing seemed like a waste of time where story could have been added and I felt like it would have been cool if another episode supplemented it where it missed that time if they really wanted to go that route.

Just a heads up, it is locked to 30 fps on all consoles... even the next gen ones. So if you're gonna get it, and you have even a remotely decent PC, don't make my mistake lol go the PC route 100% edit: doesn't even hold that locked 30 on PS5 by the way, stutters and its rather choppy. Definitely grab on PC or wait and see if there's going to be a patch, there's no way Demon's Souls can run 60 but this game can't even run 30. edit 2: Don't pay 80 for this. Amazing game, but not much longer than the original. Wait a year or 2 for deep sale, no way Square Enix gets to charge that much for such little content.

if you liked the first game then playing Before the storm is a no brainer... How could it not interest you?

One of the really pissed me off so the game didn't explain how to sprint I figured it out nearly 6 hours in the game

[@rd-um4sp]

nice to know they toned it down from the second one. I had fun with the first installment. I will give this a try but not for $60 now ... hella was cringy before the first game but I still hear it unironically in 2021and I think: "Is that someone's uncle trying to get along with the cool kids?"

[@karskikatti4732]

I loved chapters 1-4. Chapter 5 was more a movie than a game and it made me kinda frustrated... If I want to watch a movie, I watch a movie.

[@titntin5178]

Thanks for doing what you do so well. Im up for this game, games can deliver a narritive more memorable and moving than any other medium and i cant help wanting to enjoy a game that celebrates human empathy and compassion, the world needs more imo.

[@efbay]

Really looking forward to your Deathloop review, geez I hope its good or at least a ton of fun 🤞🏼 maybe not a full ACG Certified review but I would like a shorthand version of your thoughts on Aragami 2 when that drops, I think that would be nice!

[@mjp5546]

This is less of a game and more of an interactive story. I didn't really enjoy it and found bits of it quite tedious. The save system is annoying also, often requiring you to re-run large sections if you quit at the wrong time. Biggest issue was the price, 80 bucks is waaaay too much to pay for this type of software in my opinion.

[@shweenz]

I loved the first and the prequel but on trying the second, just couldn't get into it. This looks much better than the first one visually. I just hope they do a good job with characters, setting, music, tone, and of course decision-making.

[@davelovesdrums]

Did you play it? I've just finished it. I also struggled to get into the second game, a little. This, for me, was shaping up to be the best but it really was let down by its short length. First one is probably still my favourite but True Colours definitely was the best of the series in a number of areas.

[@johnsteve9663]

Great review as always , I'm a big fan of the previous Life is strange games so definitely going to check this out .

[@castrolias]

Great review as always. Adored the setting and feel of the first game. Much less the second one. Excited to try this one out. Looking forward to your review of: Deathloop and Kena

[@arcanekanuck]

In life is strange though every time Max used her power it was affecting the environment in a negative way, does that happen in true colours ?

[@kattekaren]

New World? I would love to hear your thoughts! :)

[@Exel3nce]

lets see. i am kinda excited for the final score cause LiS was never a game that had good writing. would be nice to have dontnod to have a good title after some time :)

[@Jake-nt3tg]

You're trolling, right? The Life is strange games had amazing writing. That's what everyone enjoyed about them.

[@holdenwinters68]

Huh? The LiS series is one of the greatest story franchises ever made.

@@arsenelupin9697 nah, I've played Tales of the borderlands. Its not on the level of the life is strange franchise. It leans more into comedy

[@arnotskywalker6366]

Deathloop (likely already on your list), Lost in Random, Aragami 2, and Sable are amongst the games I am most curious to see reviews for in September.

[@gamingzombie148]

Omg omg we get to dnd with steph again

[@AirWolf2301]

This was without a joke my game of the year... sure there where better "games"(in the classic *boom boom, bang bang* way) out there but non of them had any real heart and feeling to them(at least for me). This one really made my grizzled heart feel joy of playing games again. I finished it 3 days ago and I can't stop thinking about it! I absolutely adore this game now!

Maybe a good deal of horniness depending on the situation...??? Lol

Even when I'm not interested in a game I find myself listening to Jeremy's reviews to see how insane he goes everytime.

[@XTr3m3b4sh]

5-6 hours for a full-prized game ? No thanks.

[@JGrantUK]

If you rush, maybe. I played at an okay pace, exploring and talking to everyone and it took me 12 hours. Also got the plat, which is basically a freebie. Just finished a second play-through where I did only a few optional parts and still took 8 hours.

[@Wazza25]

Appreciate no spoilers bra playing this rn on GP

[@charmingpeasant9834]

Life is Strange fell off a cliff after Before the Storm, with Dontnod starting to pander to the hyper vocal weirdo side of the fanbase.

[@lucalbrecht1477]

Very good review. BUt the fact that I had about five to six hours per episode, so a total of about 30 hours according to Steam at least and even if I had compulsively tried to ignore as many optional things as possible it would probably still have been 20 hours for me. How did you manage to play that in 5-6 hours

[@jluck1399]

Stop the cap

[@lucalbrecht1477]

@@jluck1399 yea, I don't know, it seems to be possible to play through that fast, I just meant that this is not the average playing time but rather the rush playing time that he stated

[@goharderthanyesterday3935]

These reviewers typically rush their experience to pump out content. Regular people like us appreciate the pacing of the game and play it bit by bit day by day

Never been a fan of the series, dialogue is often cringey

[@ismaello_]

It does actually improve in this game, not as cringey as the first one

[@anthonysizemore4877]

This was one of the best games I played in 2021. Excellent writing and a story with some twists and turns in the mystery aspect. Also has a very satisfying ending.
