Sean and Daniel are (Captain) spirited away

102

Life Is Strange 2: Rules Awesome Adventurer Chris comes into the lives of runaway brothers Sean and Daniel. Plus all the latest DLC, update, and online event news.

Free is always a tasty proposition, which is why back at E3 we all leapt at the chance to try The Awesome Adventures Of Captain Spirit, a small vignette from the Life Is Strange team. At the time, it wasn’t obvious how it would tie into Life Is Strange 2, if at all, though at the very end we got our tease of the brothers Sean and Daniel as they meet Chris, the boy playing let’s-pretend as the Cap.

The second episode of Life Is Strange 2, Rules, covers the point when the boys meet Chris once again, as autumn moves into winter and Christmas approaches. With Daniel and Chris being around the same age, the dynamic between the two is lovely to see, and we admit we’ve quite missed Chris. His imaginary world of Captain Spirit, and the way it relates to his issues with his mother’s untimely death, were heartwrenching, and exploring more of that is very much welcome.

In this episode the brothers are taking shelter from the cold as they continue to be on the run from what happened in Seattle, and the house they’re staying at is next to Chris’. And as friendship between the two young boys flourishes, Sean has to deal with handling both the youngsters, and (most importantly) make sure Daniel sticks to the rules for using his powers, and not causing harm to others.

WITH DANIEL AND CHRIS BEING AROUND THE SAME AGE, THE DYNAMIC BETWEEN THE TWO IS LOVELY.
