'Life is Strange 2' and the reality of gun violence in games
Life is Strange 2 deals with a litany of heavy themes, covering everything from police violence and immigration in the United States, to racism and family bonds. French studio Dontnod handles each subject with care, respect and research, consulting with people who have lived through situations that the game's main characters, Sean and Daniel, encounter. However, there's an extra, unintentional topic humming beneath the five-part series: gun violence. Throughout Life is Strange 2, moments of high drama often culminate in scenes involving guns, asking players to make quick decisions at the threat of being blown away -- or, pulling the trigger themselves.

The complete 'Life is Strange 2' is getting a physical release
If you still enjoy buying physical copies of games, here's one you may want to add to your wishlist: Life is Strange 2 is getting a physical release for the PS4, the Xbox One and PC. Dontnod and Square Enix are releasing a Standard Edition and a Collector's Edition of the game, like what they did for its predecessor. The Standard Edition only includes Life is Strange 2 itself, Arcadia Bay Patches and a bonus game from the companies entitled The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. Meanwhile, the Collector's Edition also comes with a hardcover artbook, vinyl figurines and a nice box to keep all those in.
