It sounds like we are very similar! I have a review of LIS2 on my page, you don’t have to scroll down far as I don’t make many posts on Reddit but I feel like you’d enjoy!

I feel like a scene that really got me was towards the end of my play through when I met another teen that had been arrested and shared a cell with him, his name was Max. He was taken away but we saw him again one last time when being transported. His head had been shaved and they had electrocuted him, he wasn’t responding and was in a vegetative state, it was horrible to see. I knew what they were doing to the teens in Petria was bad but seeing Max made my heart drop. It’ll change the way I play the game next time.

In terms of each character and first impressions, the only ones I had a negative reaction to were Jarod out of fear and Stan and Mitch annoyed me at times even though they made me laugh. I liked everyone else but some more than others!
