What makes 'Life Is Strange 2' so scary, and one of the best games on the market, is that its horrors are from our world, reflective of modern headlines.
Fear is not uncommon in video games. Survival horror, after all, is one of the medium’s defining categories. Many of these games, however, even the best and most metaphorical of them, rely on otherworldly frights.The scares are some of the most disturbing I’ve encountered in the interactive medium.
And then there’s the implied Donald Trump factor: “He’s not actually going to win, right?” texts one of Sean’s friends in the opening moments of the game, in reference to the then-impending 2016 election. An overwhelmed Sean doesn’t want to to think about it, but his classmate replies with fed-up exhaustion: “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.”
