There’s a unique difficulty to reviewing episodic games that differs from episodes of a TV season. As an experience, episodes of video games feel much more like playing hours of a self-contained vignette, rather than one segment of a whole.
And unfortunately, Life is Strange 2: Episode 2: Rules does not hold up on its own. Yet still, the goodwill from its wonderful premiere episode, combined with what it does get right, make the episode easy to give a pass on the rest of the game’s sheer promise and potential.
