Contrary to the initial Western release, this version has all 5 episodes on disc.

The game will notify you of a missing internet connection after each chapter, because it gives you the chance to compare your choices to other players. You can just skip past the prompt, though.

It will also ask you to download and play the free "prologue" "The Adventures of Captain Spirit" before chapter two, as the two stories cross over and playing it would give you a different experience. However, it isn't necessary to enjoy Life is Strange 2 and you can skip past that prompt as well.

Issues noted:

After observing a spider web during chapter one, the highlighting with the button prompts started to flicker until we turned away from the object.
During one dialogue in the gas station during chapter one, Daniel's model hovered from one point to another instead of showing a proper walking animation.
At the same gas station, you can find a trash can you theoretically can search for food, but as long as people are sitting next to it, Sean will tell himself to not do it to prevent freaking the other people out. However, even after the people left, the same monologue will play and you can't search the trash.
Occasional foliage pop-in in the far background.
During the final chapter, the screen seemed to flicker occasionally when changing scenes/dialogue parts.

Overall a very solid release.
