tell me why
Whenever I write these Game Of The Year posts, I always think back on the kind of year we had from both a gaming perspective, as well as a general world view. Needless to say, but 2020 was one hell of a year that I doubt many of us will forget for a long time. Sadly though, it's not because of a great line-up of interesting games, but because so many have lost their lives and their livelihoods as a result of the global pandemic.
When I finished playing Life Is Strange 2, I didn't really have much to say that I hadn't already touched on when I wrote about the first game. While the story was something new, everything else was just more of the same, including the nauseating and oh-so-hip characterisations that kept me at arm's length for the entire game. However, now Dontnod are back with their latest take on the formula that has kept them going for a while. Could this be a breath of fresh air, or just another dredge through niche cultural hipster life?
