I was really looking forward to this game as I love the LIS series but this was dragged out and at times, boring. With a lot of monotone talking and trying to pull at the heart strings to keep interest it didn’t work. The direction of the two relationships was forced heavily in favour of one side, if you pursued the other it was awkward and emotionless and I regretted not going in the other just for lack of story/feelings. Which was disappointing as I’d like a different pursuit in relationship direction as this was already done in Before The Storm. Loved the idea of Alex feeling emotions and how this was done with all the characters but I felt no emotion towards any character - ironic as the entire game is based on emotion. There were definitely a few good surprises and twits which I enjoyed. And the side quest with Ethan was really fun. My fav part of any LIS game is seeing the choices that people make and seeing what percentage I fall into with each chapter; however due to the lack of options and predictability everyone was making the same choices and it started feeling unoriginal and one directional. This was more a film with some great aspects and ideas but so little gameplay, I barely picked up my controller. All in all I feel unsatisfied…
