Is it still worth playing?

Two brothers flee Seattle after a fatal misunderstanding and head for their father's family home in Puerto Lobos, Mexico. This 2018 episodic adventure came in five episodes through December 2019. You play Sean Diaz, who makes the decisions that branch the story and acts as a surrogate parent to Daniel, the younger brother who has just discovered telekinetic powers. Each chapter is set months after the last, in a place where they can stay safe for a few days. The story is mostly grounded in reality and touches on racism, gun violence and bigotry. Its decisions shape the journey, which still makes the road trip worth taking today.
