Surprisingly good but definitely falls short of the greatness of LiS1. I wasn't expecting much after BTS highly disappointed me but the story of being a guardian and proper role model to someone younger than you was extremely compelling, and brought back TWD S1 vibes with that Lee/Clementine dynamic with a more grounded setting. At first I was disappointed with not playing a character that had a power, but after thinking about it is kind of neat to be the bystander in a "superhero" story and see from a different perspective how that power can affect others with you being mostly powerless besides your words and influence to stop any destruction Daniel may cause. The road trip aspect was a double-edged sword in my opinion. It was cool to see a lot of variations in locations, but it made many locations very forgettable after you were done with them and pretty much the entire supporting cast very weak besides a few strong exceptions (like Lisbeth). The game also isn't very good at dealing with the political aspect of Sean & Daniel's situation, with very cartoonish stereotypes in the last episode in particular I just didn't enjoy very much.

There's a lot of good here, but LiS1 was a far more ambitious story and made far better use of its powers, setting, & characters, and that consistenty is ultimately what LiS2 is missing for me.
