I love this game
I love this game. It's different, rich in story, and will make even the coldest of hearts feel emotional. First time finishing the game (before I got it on Steam) I was up at 3 in the morning bubbling like a baby when I finished I chose the save Arcadia Bay ending and if you played it you know how upseting that ending was. This game, although it has it's flaws, is a masterpiece. DontNod made a wonderful game and has proven that their small team can make an amazing, beautiful, heartfelt game. I paid for the 1st episode before it was released on Steam for free, but even spending a few extra dollars was worth it, as this game has taken me through the incredible and emotional journey of Max Caulfield and Chloe Price. Pros: Beautiful indie sountrack Fun use of timetraveling powers Different (and stunning) graphics Relatable characters/situations Not afraid to talk about uncomfortable topics (assault, deaths of loved ones, suicide, ect) Most small choices still have a meaningful impact Strong replay value Many subtle refrences to shows/movies/memes Likable characters Very atmospheric, it feels like a real town Has an unusual but nice mechanism where you can take a "Moment of Calm" and sit down on a bed/swing/bench, and just look at the world around you while calming music plays Beautiful locations and scenery Cons: Voice acting/script can be cringy at times Despite the choices you make there are only two absolute endings Is short (but as stated before is replayable) Can be cliche at times Overall this game is not one to miss. Even with it's flaws, Life is Strange is one game you shouldn't miss.

This game is a moral self-torture simulator
This game is a moral self-torture simulator... Steps for successfully experiencing LiS: 1. Buy it. 2. Begin to play it. 3. Make poor choices. 4. Alter poor choices. 5. Realise new choices are worse. 6. Eventually stumble to the end feeling like you've almost held it together. 7. Make monumentally poor choice. 8. Open the bottle of Jack Daniels you keep by your desk. 9. Begin drunken reflection on reality. 10. Remember why you failed Philosophy. 11. Drink some more. 12. Ponder if this game has set an impossible bar for videogame storytelling. 13. Conclude it has. 14. Decide to write negative review of game because it made you feel sad. 15. Change it to positive BECAUSE it managed to make you feel sad. 16. Begin the slightly hollow search for something that can offer a similar experience.

It's strange how this will be the first review I ever write for a game
It's strange how this will be the first review I ever write for a game. I always thought it would be written for a game like Fallout, Elderscrolls or some huge open world survival horror. And yet it's this little piece of art that has me aching to write something, if only for a minute. When I had finished this, a few minutes ago, I couldn't believe that they only charge a pittence for it. I thought to myself that if people can charge you 70 euro for games that are poorly executed and badly made from start to finish, then this game should have a much higher pricetag. It wasn't before looking up and seeing that I just finished the first episode in a mere three hours that I understood their reasoning. I feel, however, obliged to tell you all that the three hours spent in this game were worth more to me than the hundreads of hours I've spent in most other games combined. Not because the story was awsome, or the graphics made me gape in awe, but rather that every single aspect of the game in combination managed to grip me and pull me in so that time became temporarily meaningless. Imagine if games held this standard. Imagine if your favorite action, your favorite adventure game or even your favorite driver had this kind of execution. You can tell a good story in a bad way, and you can tell a bad story in a good way. The story in this game might not be the most interesting story you've ever heard, but it's good, and in the execution of it you are drawn in, captured by it, moved by it. Most adventure games will entertain, they'll give you some ups and downs along the way, but ultimately they will feel like games. I've never felt so fulfilled after "playing a game" as I did today. Original, beautiful and masterfully executed. I can't wait for the next episode.
