For all its strides in pacing and character development, the same pitfalls that dogged its predecessor still lurk within. [June 2015, p.88]

By showing signs of what it can be, rather than what it wants to pretend to be, things are far improved. [June 2015, p.77]

It’s still easier to construct narrative contingency than to make it meaningful.

Episode 2 of life is strange takes it from 0 to 100 really fricking fast. The game starts off as a cute high school drama but in like 2 hours your best friend gets shot, gets almost killed by a drug dealer, and gets run over by a train and another friend commits suicide by jumping off a roof. I was not mentally prepared to talk down a suicidal friend when i signed up for this game. Oh and the rewind power you get doesn't work when you have to save her. But yeah all in all its pretty good. Once again great music, great visuals, great story. 10/10

With all that has happened, I'd be surprised if Life is Strange didn't get nominated for game of the year - 2015. So many things are done right here despite not being up to par with graphics. It goes to show you though, you don't need good graphics to make an amazing game. The positives outshine the negatives by far. It's best fret is the game's story, and the way it manages to keep the player involved. You feel the weight behind some of the decisions you make during the game, some being heavy enough to make you want to come back and experience more. Episode 2 continues to blow you away, as it gives you more choices and consequences, and begins to show you some of the results of your actions from first episode. Episode 2 - 10 out of 10

Easily my favorite episode of the series that conveys the overarching point of the story and the underlying emotion intended better than the finale ever could. High point in the series for me.

It’s a smart game that’s essential for anyone who thinks they can see through the mechanics of other episodic, choice-based games. We thought we could, and Life Is Strange slapped us in the face.

Crysalis introduced the setting and characters in a fascinating way, but this second chapter really kicks off. The narration is above average, and the outcomes are starting to look really promising.

Out Of Time doesn’t make the same impact that Chrysalis did, but it is just as good in every respect.

A solid second episode that meanders a little at first but has some of the most complex and thought-provoking moral decisions in any video game to date.

With this second chapter Life is Strange becomes better because the game retakes what was right on the first episode with a story that is more interesting. If things continue in this way, the game maybe will be a surprise that we were not expecting.

Out of Time may not be as captivating as the first episode, but it leaves plenty to look forward to and answers just enough questions to ask a few more.

Life Is Strange: Episode 2 – Out of Time has an excellent ending, but it's letdown by pacing issues that make the events leading up to that point feel inconsequential.

The only thing I don't like about this game it's the fact that I get scared of playing it, always wondering if I did call the right decision, is Max getting screwed coz of my choices? Dunno. By the way, your choices DOES matter and will change stuff. Be ready for some of your 1st episode to come back and bite you in the as! ;d

This game is truly underrated. Dontnod and Square Enix really did give Telltale a run for their money with this episodic adventure. This episode is so much better than the first, and I adored the first. Your decisions seem to have a feeling that they have a greater impact more and more throughout this episode, I personally have started to favor and feel more attached to the characters as the this episode progresses. The atmosphere of the game is great too; I do not feel that how the characters speak are 'cliche' as the characters take the stereotypes which you think you know and make them their own. It all works. Yes, admitted the characters speech could look more realistic, but this is no reason not to enjoy the game, I barely noticed it, as the story and game is so immerse and gripping that you don't notice. All in all, this game is extremely good and this episode proves it. Very much worth the buy, you won't regret it:) bring on episode three!

Great game with an interesting plot and meaningful choices. The voice acting and dialogue is weak however, and the game can be slow at times. All in all, I would be cautious with this game and make sure it interests you before buying.

Bottle Collecting Simulator. If you want to be A bottle collecting lady already in your teens then this is the game for you. The whole game is like a easy memory game where you can keep rewinding events and dialogue that happened and do them in the right order without any consequences, the worst bit is you have to skip alot of dialogue if you make the wrong decision early on and redo the whole tedious process again. On top of this add alot of cringy dialogue and events and they are sure to push you and the main character out into the sidequests that are collecting old beer bottles.
SummaryReunited with her friend Chloe, Max begins experimenting with her power and starts to wonder if it is related to her visions or the weird snow from the previous day. But life goes on in Blackwell Academy and a certain viral video has become a serious topic of discussion. Meanwhile, what DID happen to Rachel Amber?
