Happy holidays.

My own kid was able to enjoy it quite a lot, thankfully there's not a big amount of reading needed to get the basic idea down.
I guess in that age, you should accompany your kids anyway when they are playing computer games (at least when the game is new). It's still theory for me, though. :)

Angst always is raw.

Would this yield usable ping rates?
Sure. It just depends on the country you set you're playing from. No worries.

The VPN adds latency, and latency is the biggest problem of such services in the first place.

Quoting: GuestTo get the full game you have to get the "Life is Strange 2 Complete Season" apparently? Very silly...would be nice if they cleaned up that mess.
I don't get what's wrong with that. If I want the complete game, "Life is Strange 2 Complete Season" sounds just right...?
You don't see what's wrong with being like every other game and having ONE button for the game? Lol, no one wants an incomplete game, it makes you wonder if it's actually the full game or not leading to confusion, so get rid of that garbage.
That's what you were describing: " To get the full game you have to get the "Life is Strange 2 Complete Season" apparently?" So I guess there's another link not leading to the complete game. Well, you could try the game with buying a single episode. I just did that with Sally Face.

Late? The final episode was only released 2 weeks ago.
That's my take on it, too. I wouldn't have bought it before the last episode was released, so for me, it's two weeks after the earliest day I'd have bought it.
