Critic Reviews for Life is Strange 2 - Episode 5 : Wolves
A relatively engaging finale but one that suffers from all the problems of the series as a whole, with too little interactivity and a lethargic plot that struggles to get into gear.
Life Is Strange 2's emotionally charged finale does justice to Sean and Daniel Diaz's journey by placing an emphasis on identity, society, and brotherhood.
Life is Strange 2 represents a sophistication of Dontnod's storytelling capabilities because it effectively adds up and weighs moral decisions to truly influence the narrative outcome. Every ending comes with some degree of complication -- that much was to be expected -- but it's satisfying because they're all befitting of the characters you molded. Whichever direction you took Sean and Daniel's lives, chances are you'll feel responsible for their fates. It's personal. Because it's personal, it's memorable. That's about the utmost positive quality for this style of story.
This final episode of Life is Strange 2 showcases the powerful emotional storytelling that video games can harness. It is a fantastic example of the medium and the perfect end to a series that continues to deliver on its high expectations.
Life is Strange 2: Episode 5 - Wolves very sincerely tries to bring all choices to the general denominator, using system of morals which had to be inculcated to little Daniel, but even specially drawn endings do not cause due satisfaction. Either way, you'll get a boring ending for a narrative claiming originality and social conflict.

In its final chapter, Life is Strange 2 delivers a gripping finale that is unafraid to delve into some deep, politically-relevant issues.
Wolves is a solid conclusion to an amazing road trip. The story of Sean and Daniel was something very special and this episode doesn't let us down as it is, again, full of beautiful and revolting moment, with some great writing, acting, direction and musics. And choices that will surely have an impact. On you.
