How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Life is Strange 2
A narrative adventure in five episodes: you play Sean, 16, who flees towards Mexico with his brother Daniel, who can move things with his mind. What you do and say gradually shapes him, and that weighs on which of the four endings you see.
