Instead of feeling like the first chapter in a multi-part story, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is more like a snapshot. It only takes a couple hours to finish, and depicts a routine day in the life of Chris and his dad. It has explicit connections to the upcoming Life is Strange 2 that have me excited, but The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit also stands alone as a clever and heartbreaking look at a kid who deserves better. | Gameinformer
Have you ever dreamt of being a superhero? Meet Chris, a creative and imaginative 10-year-old boy who escapes reality with fantastical adventures as his alter ego, the Awesome Captain Spirit!
Jason Monroe writes: "Is Dontnod’s free offering, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, worth your time? Yes, actually."
It’s enough to say that Captain Spirit is every bit as moving and charming as you’d expect from a Life is Strange game. What’s more, it augurs extremely well for the upcoming sequel which, at the time of writing, is only a couple of months away.
