Life is Strange 2: Episode 3 impressions — Less choice, more drama

Life Is Strange 2 Episode 1 and Episode 2 did a good job setting the stage for a dramatic tale about the bond between two brothers and what happens to them when a supernatural event shakes up their suburban lives. Now I’ve finished Episode 3, and I see we’re moving into a more intense story.

Dontnod Entertainment and Square Enix released Episode 3 on May 9 on the Windows PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, MacOS, and Linux.  I’ve played through all the episodes so far, as well as the teaser story, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. I also interviewed Jean-Luc Cano, lead writer for the game, after my playthrough. These are my impressions.
