** A criticism of the game that's becoming more and more common is how Sean and Daniel's entire predicament could have been avoided had they waited for the police or turned themselves in sooner into their journey instead of running away and putting themselves in more danger, while also racking up more charges. It doesn't help that not only were the excuses Sean gave unconvincing, such as a fear of being split up from Daniel (which isn't worse than going to jail for murder), or going to juvie (for the initial crime that they can't prove he committed), but also, the grandparents also shared the same sentiment the critics did during their discussion with him. In the end, he was just a kid that didn't have his priorities straight and it cost him in the end, with some finding it hard to sympathize with him because of this.

* ContestedSequel: The dramatic shift in tone and play style compared to the first game put off quite a few fans, while others appreciate the fact that the TotallyRadical dialogue is toned down and enjoy the relationship between Sean and Daniel. There also a matter of how it tackling hot button issues, which some people liked while others find it {{Anvilicious}} in a bad way.

* PlatonicWritingRomanticReading: Thanks to their touchy-feely interactions in Episode 2, many players initially had the impression that Cassidy and Finn were a couple, and predicted that Finn would be Sean's rival for Cassidy's affections. This was quickly forgotten in Episode 3, which took pains to undo the RelationshipWritingFumble and establish that Cassidy and Finn are genuinely just good friends; while they do end up in a LoveTriangle, it's because they're both interested in Sean.

* StrangledByTheRedString: The game pushes you hard into a romance with [[DevelopersDesiredDate Cassidy]] during Episode 3, with lots of choices centered around spending alone time with her. In both Episodes 2 and 3, virtually every dialogue option with her to forces the player into flirting with her, and there's no option to turn her down early. After all that flirting, if you repeatedly reject her sexual advances, she'll eventually get angry about it, with the only non-confrontational way to turn her down being admitting an interest in Finn, which you can only do if you kiss him — and regrettably, like in previous games, the GayOption of Finn is locked behind making morally dubious choices, which sends an unfortunate message. Finally, it's possible to sleep with Cassidy, but only kiss Finn.
