First two episodes are really good. Third is rushed but still not bad.

I loved it. I went in expecting nothing really. Wasn't a fan of the idea when it was first announced. Figured "Well we already know how it's gonna end."

I liked it so much more than the first game, which I liked well enough. The writing is better. The voice acting is better. Pretty much everything is better imo.

Pretty accurate.
Also, watch the fucked up scene after the credits in episode 3. It's only like 10 seconds long, but it's brutal.

have all the parts been released yet?

It's about Rachel Amber so no.

I haven't played it, but it's about Rachel Amber so I know it's bad.

Yes, but there's a bonus episode that hasn't yet. It doesn't seem to be related to the main 3 at all though. More of a final note for the series to go out on (at least for Max and Chloe).

How many episodes are there

3 with an upcoming bonus ep

Thanks. Hope that means the episodes don't drag out as long as episode 2 and 3 of the first one did.

She really is an annoying and horrible friend

Surprisingly yes.

I went in with low expectations expecting it to be awful.

And while my gripes about it were 100% correct the game is just well made and legitimately fun. It won me over.

It doesn't really need to exist and showing Rachel kills her as a character for the main game but if you ignore that and just play it for what it is, it's really good.

I'd say more but I'd just spoil stuff, so go play it

Also if you're worried about it "Dragging out" don't. It's a lot shorter than the original game. Only 3 episodes and they're not as long. They were kinda banking on only super-fans buying it.

All 3 parts of the main story have been released.

This is one more upcoming "bonus" part which is a standalone story about Max's last day at the bay.

They've already said it's going to be short and it's the goodbye to Max, Chloe and the Bay.

So short answer is yes. The main story has been released

so that one's set after the main game?
how are they gonna deal with the big binary choice?

No, it's set when Max leaves the Bay for Seattle after the crash that killed William
