    Life is Strange is together with Before the Storm the best two parts of the LIS universe.
    The latest game in the series, Tell me Why, got another name but I know too well it derives from

    The relationship of Max and Chloe, evolving in the sweetest way in a fictional city where everything is indie and sad. And you decide what happens between them and between Max and each character. 10/10 because you can feel the love of the developers and because it has one of the most compelling ost in the videogame industry.

    Incredible from start and even more incredible 'till finish.
    You wouldn't assume to form any sort of attachment to so many characters in a game at the start, but throughout each episode, you get more and more enthralled by the story and everything that's going on around you.

    Life is Strange is far from perfect. In reality our decisions and impact on story development is not as great as we would like and in the end regardless of other choices we are presented with similar dilemma. This put serious limitation on replayability.

    Additionally, the game is relatively short (it took me 12h to finish it) and if I have played each episode at time of its release I would be really annoyed. I would have probably be not able to enjoy it because "Llife is Strage" is about very well delivered engaging story and playing it for 2 hours every 4-6 weeks would break narration and prevent any emotional response. It needs to be said that plot could have been better at times.

    In my opinion releasing adventure games in episodic format limits enjoyment and in the longer run companies end up making less money, because as a consequence product they sell seems less appealing than it should.

    Fortunately I have played all episodes at once and ... that was memorable and intense 12 hours. This game is completely story driven but being able to affect events and express myself made the experience more engaging than any great tv show could have managed so far.

    I should have give this game 9 (I given 9 points to Dota 2 and played over 1000h), but I enjoyed it so much, that I turn blind eye on lack of replayability, limited choices and some flaws in the plot.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished my 2nd play last night. Incredible. I actually played the prequel first "Before The Storm," and although is was also a great game, the original is much better. So much intrigue, color, characters, and mind blowing twists and turns. It will keep you glued to your seat from start to finish. It doesn't have as much replay value as the prequel in my opinion, but many replay it multiple times because the game is just plain GREAT! BTW, despite "Before The Storm" came after the Original "Life Is Strange," it is regarded as a Prequel and not a Sequel. Hence the name, "Before The Storm." Any who...

    You play Maxine (Max) Caulfield, who develops powers to actually rewind time and change her
    decision making. No one knows how it happened or why. She foresees a disaster that will hit Arcadia Bay, and in the end, she must make the most difficult decision she will ever have to make.

    If that's not enough, Max also reunites with her best friend Chloe after not seeing her for 5 years. The two join forces to unravel a mystery of missing students from Blackwell Academy, including Rachel, who was Chloe's friend and possible love interest in the prequel. This puts Max in a difficult situation, as she and Chloe have been friends and possible soulmates since they were kids.

    In closing, it's one of the best games I've played in quite some time. The DEVS did an incredible job on everything, especially the art, voicing, music, and puzzles and lots of Easter Eggs, if you can find them. The only reason I am not giving this little gem a perfect 10, is due to Max's rewind power. There are some areas where this ability needs to be used a lot and in repetitive scenes, especially in Episode 4. Despite this however, I highly recommend this game. It's really a piece of art.    … Expand

    Great game but a tad depressing and also suffers from some points of bad writing and illogical dialogue. I'm not very happy with either possible ending, but the experience was worth it overall, and I would still recommend this game.

    Life is Strange was my first experience in what I call “interactive movies”.

There is some puzzles; a very bit of stealth; and a lot of walking around; but the biggest part of the game is the dialogue choices you make that effect the story. I enjoyed it when it first came out and after replaying it I can say it holds up really well. The graphics are a tad dated for the sunnier daytime scenes but they’re still above average in my books and have a good colour palette. The storm scenes are still very good, especially the wet clothing and rain effects. The voice acting and music were spot on and across the board I liked them. The dialogue was overall good but could get a bit cringy at times. That being said most of the characters are teens so maybe I should give points for realism. The story itself is fantastic which is good as it is the main draw in the game. I did find the shoehorning of some political issues handled poorly and not subtle at all but it was minor and bearable. The characters made up for it. Whether it was Max; Chloe; Alyssa; Samuel; Warren; Joyce; David; and many more I can’t say I disliked any of them. That is to say they were all well layered, even if some were meant to be detestable. There were a couple times where I didn’t like the choices or how they panned out but they were largely very enjoyable. My issues were that some of them gave me little option but to be a bad person or be mean to others in order to stay on good terms with Chloe but to be fair the game addresses this at times in the story. I also didn’t like a single puzzle where I have to gather materials in the school. I needed to try to reach something that Max wasn’t tall enough for. I knew she couldn’t reach it so I tried to grab a chair but the game wouldn’t let me use the chair until I went through the motions and tried to reach the object anyway. Another time when trying to sort through pictures to tie together evidence they referred to, what was clearly a truck, as an SUV.

    I played Life Strange on Linux. It never crashed on me. I did notice that one time Max lacked lip movements while talking but the whole issue lasted about ten seconds so it wasn’t a big deal. The game has a v-sync toggle; two AA settings; a resolution option; and four other graphics settings. Alt-Tab didn’t work. The performance was overall very good but I will say that it was jarring whenever the game went from cut scenes to normal game play because the game used my 144Hz refresh rate but the cut scenes were capped at 30 FPS and it looked weird for the first second or so before and after. The game dropped to 24 FPS for 1-2 seconds and also dropped to 65 FPS for 1-2 seconds but spent the most of the time at 100 FPS or higher. The game uses an auto save system. Overall it worked alright but at least once I noticed that I quit after seeing the save point mid scene and when I went back in it started me at the beginning of the scene not when the save point was. I would have preferred a manual save system.

    Game Engine: Unreal Engine 3
    Graphics API: OpenGL
    Game Version Played: Launcher says 1.03, in game says 1.0.0.397609
    Disk Space Used: 10.69 GB

    Graphics Settings Used: 1920x1080; Highest; v-sync on

    VRAM Usage: 1077-1525 MB
    CPU Usage: 26-51 %
    RAM Usage: 3.2-4.7 GB
    Frame Rate: 24-144 FPS

    Overall I highly recommend Life is Strange. It has great production values; a good story with great characters; and does a good job allowing you some freedom to make choices. If some of my criticisms seem petty it’s because they are, I really don’t have any serious flaws to gripe about. I finished my first play through in 13.5 hours and my second in 14.5 hrs. I spent $21.74 CAD on all five episodes and would have happily paid $45 so I think the current price of $21.99 CAD is a steal.

    An addiction you don't want to recover from. Which stops time on both sides of the screen.

    The game is full of references to video games and films, the soundtrack is pure bliss and the main character is so easy to connect with that you get so implied in the story.

    It has some issues with the story itself, maybe an story a bit more mature would have been more interesting, maybe some events happening are kind of cliche, but i think it compensates well with all its strengths. Definitely worth playing.    … Expand

    As a sci fi fan, the way the time travel is handled in the game fascinated me. Story was well paced, both main and side characters felt down to earth that you could see and understand their struggles. If there is one major criticism to be made about the story side of things, then its about the ending, it very much resembles Mass Effect 3's struggles, but to be fair towards Dontnod, they did not market the pretence that all of your choices would matter in the ending, they just affected the smaller things around you as you progressed through the story, episode to episode. Still, ending could've been handled better, as it comes down to a rudimentary choice, but really, it didnt negatively impact the overall experience either.

    It's really one of a kind experience and dont let yourself to be fooled by the haters who call this a teen girl drama or right wing reactionaries calling it SJW propaganda, despite some of the peoples political opinions behind the game, it really isnt. If you love a fine adventure game then go in open minded into this one and you'll find a unique experience that will stick with you after finishing it.    … Expand

    Imagine, you're a fairly typical high school girl obsessed with taking photographs. You moved from a rather hip and happening city to go to a school back in your boring little hometown just because your favorite photographer is now a teacher there. Your life is more or less a day to day repeat of Degrassi High without Drake. Until one day you happen to be in the right place at the right time and discover you're a living time machine.

    Welcome to Life is Strange, an episodic "interactive movie" as I've started to call them. It's pretty similar to TellTale's recent adventure games where you control a character to explore your environment, interact with other characters, and make major story affecting decisions such as whether you want to eat waffles or eggs and bacon for breakfast.

    Okay, it does sound rather silly. And the first episode DOES give off a pretty bad impression. As previously mentioned, it starts off almost like a 2015 High School simulator. But by the end of episode one, you gather enough hints to figure out some major ♥♥♥♥ is going down. Each episode since has only traveled further down that rabbit hole. Decisions get much more important, and you may find yourself using the token 'rewind' system to change your decisions in case your consciousness gets the better of you.

    Of course, no game is without it's flaws, and Life is Strange has a few I'd rather forget about. The dialogue itself is very "older men trying to emulate teenage girls they've seen talking on Twitter/Tumblr/Instagram" and can lead to HELLA cringe worthy moments. The controls can be a bit twitchy at times, and you'll find yourself trying to readjust your positioning just to get an option to light up for you. But the overall story is pretty damn interesting and fun. There are plenty of references to classic cult tv shows and movies like Twin Peaks, Donnie Darko, Butterfly Effect, Twilight Zone, even Planet of the Apes! And the plot itself seems to borrow elements from these sources as well.

    Edit: Now that the final episode is out, I can say that I still feel the game was worth my time and money. The ending has left fans very divided, but I myself enjoyed it. Without spoiling too much, just keep in mind that this IS a Time Travel story, and they don't tend to get "happy endings". My only REAL complaint about the game is that, like TellTale's recent games, your choices... don't make too much actual impact. That's the one downfall of this whole "Interactive Movie" genre, and I wish it could be properly solved. Maybe one day.

    I'd still say if you're a fan of recent TellTale games, or time travel stories, or melodramatic entertainment? Give it a shot. If you don't like it, you can always just rewind time to before you bought it. Right?

    Pros:
    - Another great episodic graphic adventure but this one provides some little fresh elements. The main one, time travel. Is not as deep as the manipulation of memory Dontnod made on "Remember Me" (2013) but is well implemented for a larger audience.
    - Life is Strange is focused on its story. Is not the classic high school story it has a warmer and different perspective. Sometimes    Pros:

    - Life is Strange is focused on its story. Is not the classic high school story it has a warmer and different perspective. Sometimes is really sad, sometimes melancholic and sometimes implements humor in little cute doses even joking about hipsters, modern art, films etc...

    - Characters are very interesting and every chapter Max writes in her diary about her relationship with them at the moment. They put a great effort in this aspect.

    - The episodes ending are great! Always right in the feels ;)

    - Technically speaking is not ground breaking but Unreal Engine 3 fit nicely. Is good to see that they approached artistically mixing shaders and not only cel-shaded models like in other franchises. The art, care of details and color palettes are great. The work done with vintage filters, postprocess, chromatic aberration, DOF, bloom is really good! ;)

    - The game is on 7th and 8th gen including PC. Shamefully is not yet confirmed any portable or tablet version (like TWD did with iOS and Android) maybe if the go for UE4 would be able to do that.

    - Gameplay wise mmm is exactly the same as The Walking Dead but you don't use many items. You interact with the environment and mostly you alter the time with your powers to change situations around the characters.

    - It has a bit of replayability because of the collectibles (the pictures to complete your diary) and a few interesting choices during the five episodes. Is not like in the Telltale Games that all roads go to the same place, is not Until Dawn which can give you a few very different results but your choices makes you feel responsible...You'll see.

    - The music and the OST in general is great and very relaxing. Is a game to take your time and be played on late night ;) I saw people rushing through it. Is a shame. that's why it took my almost 30hs to complete. Because even if is a bit linear you it deserves your attention on the work they put on some dialogs and choices (even those choices that doesn't matter at all).

    Cons:
    Not many cons....FOR REALS?
    Yes, it worth his price and the time you spend with it 100% ;)

    - I would be great to have a game like this with more difficult puzzles in the future. Nowadays the experience of this kind of games underestimates some kind of gamers to reach wide audiences.

    - I will not enter in spoilers but there're a few gaps that maybe in a next game or a DLC they can "solve".

    - You'll missed to play it like the first time. Is not the same to play the episodes and have to wait than playing it all on a few sits now that is out. So, if you can avoid spoilers on the internet (mostly on our hipster friend Tumblr and deviantART) try to take your time.

    - A few audio glitches on the late episodes. They can be solved easily.    … Expand

    I like this game. It starts off as a bit of a walk in the park and stays that way until halfway into the story, but its story is realistic and fresh. I haven't tried any Telltale game yet, but I assume Life is Strange is similar to them.

    GAMEPLAY
    The game has probably been described in detail already by the hundreds of user reviews, so I'll just detail some main takeaways.

    For one thing, the game is very short. If you rush through the game (even with lots of exploration), you can certainly complete an episode or two in one sitting (around 1-2 hours).

    Being a story-oriented game, you play the role of a high school girl who essentially makes good-or-bad or side-with-whom decisions, and has the power to reverse time. It is a slice of life game in a high school setting with the main themes being bullying and teenage angst.

    You are encouraged to reverse any decisions you've made or replay the game from various episodes to find how characters change. Certain decisions are "permanent" and cannot be reversed, even across episodes.

    You cannot quickly progress through dialogue*. However, the devs made it so that you can skip lines you've already seen if you've reversed time.

    CLIMAX
    Starting from the second half of Episode 4, the drama starts to kick in, and the game becomes more challenging. The decisions you've made throughout the game start to unfold and take direct effect.

    The high ratings for the game were probably because of Episodes 4 and 5. The conclusion is tragic and makes your efforts throughout the game worthwhile. They're more challenging, which really tests your ability to rewind time.

    The only thing I must advise is: During your first run of Episode 5, I highly suggest choosing the 'left' ending. I won't divulge any more than that.

    ORIGINALITY
    This is where the game suffers a little. The gameplay is certainly well done, but it is not an original concept. The time travel/time reversal theme has been used time and time again (haha, puns) throughout tons movies, shows and games.

    The story is very original though, since it's not everyday that you find a game with a story about teenagers in school who are dealing with bullying and trying to help people deal with their daily problems. It's a breath of fresh air from all the action games and open world games that come out these days.

    SUMMARY
    One of my friends told me that the game was a lot more compelling when the episodes were released one by one and people were discussing about how their decisions would affect the MC in subsequent episodes.

    Alas, I purchased the game as a complete set, so I just played it through without taking time off to ponder the consequences of/discuss about any decisions I made. I probably lost some immersion from the first three episodes because of that.

    Anyway, I have to give this game two separate ratings. For Episodes 1-3, I can only give them a 8/10 at best, but for Episodes 4-5, I give them a 9/10. It's a great game overall, and I don't regret spending the time to play it.    … Expand

    Psycology and emotional distress amongst teens is overlooked in society and this game brings awareness to all of those who experience the 5 chapters of this story driven game. Gathering aspects from the movie "The Butterfly Effect" and games made by Telltale Games like "The Wolf Among Us", Life is Strange pulls off greatness. Touching on subjects such as bullying, suicide and trust, I found myself compelled to reevaluate my life and how I viewed others.

    The visual detail of the game is nothing less than art itself, from certian vagueness to extreme detail you can always expect to exprience some sort of beauty around every corner. With 14 hours of gameplay, the amount of replay value Life is Strange has is phenomenal and though the main story ends with one of two possible choices the entire game between chapters has many different possibilities that can alter the story itself.Personally, this game hit so many feels for me that I cried and had jaw dropping moments where I saw myself within certian characters.

    ЗДЕСЬ НЕ БУДЕТ СПОЙЛЕРОВ
    Начну с того, что это потрясающая игра, жанр интерактивного кино я пробовал впервые и не прогадал.
    Игра постоянно ставит игрока перед выбором и оставаться в стороне не получится. Эмоцианальное и психологическое давление сопровождает всю игру, но именно это позволяет прочувствовать серьёзность происходящего, тщательно думать, как поступить, кому помочь, что сделать. Живые и интересные персонажи, как главные, так и второстепенные, со своими заморочками и только ты можешь им помочь. По мере прохождения игры, я много раз проводил параллели с реальным миром, в плане того, что каждый день человек должен делать выбор. Судьбы персонажей просочились в мою жизнь и уже не получится просто забыть всё это, я заберу с собой в могилу все эти воспоминания. Музыка, которая сопровождала всю игру является неотъемлемой частью этого виртуального мира, она просто прекрасна. Живые диалоги между персонажами заставляют задуматься о жизни, они наполнены смыслом и искренностью. Перемотка времени как нельзя кстати, ведь в реальности иногда так этого не хватает, я бы многое хотел изменить в реальной жизни, но это невозможно, зато здесь я могу это сделать. Иногда были очень грустные моменты, иногда очень весёлые и опять же, игра очень похожа на жизнь, она не очередной продукт потребления и развлечения, который просто забудут, в неё вложили душу, свои личные травмы, переживания, эмоции, именно это делает игру настоящей, живой. Много трагических моментов были мною замечены, иногда было невыносимо грустно и даже скупая мужская слеза просочилась через мои веки, шедевр, каких очень мало, проект не для денег, а для людей. Это моя любимая игра, лучшая из моей библиотеки, хоть я и провёл за ней слишком мало времени, она навсегда останется в моём сердце, как символ чистоты человеческих эмоций.    … Expand

    Em poucas palavras um dos melhores jogos ja feitos, todas suas escolhas refletem em todos os personagens da historia fora a trila sonora perfeita todos deveriam ter uma experiência com Life is Strange.

    What a great atmosphere this game offers. The characters feel real, the story is good and the soundtracks are amazing. A bunch of the events gave me the chills and I got very emotionally invested. Definitely recommend this one.

    Life is strange é um jogo focado em contar a história de “Maxine Caulfield” situada na cidade fictícia arcadia bay, que fica no estado de oregon. Max é uma estudante de fotografia que descobre que possui uma habilidade de voltar no tempo, fazendo assim a cada mudança no fluxo temporal causa um efeito borboleta, que faz com que o universo gere posteriormente efeitos catastróficos para a população daquela cidade, como tornados gigantes, animais encalhados etc.
    Minha linha de interesse nesse game se dá por meio das diversas escolhas que é possível realizar, causando assim um efeito de liberdade, tendo que usar o poder com responsabilidade para não fazer escolhas “ruins”.
    O jogo é cobertos de referências para outros jogos da mesma empresa e do mesmo universo, funcionando assim como peças de quebra cabeça que no fim, com o lançamento de outros jogos façam com que se completem causando um entendimento no público alvo. Muitas questões como pessoas desaparecidas são explicadas e detalhadas em novos jogos lançados depois. A mecânica de poder olhar e examinar objetos ao seu redor é fascinante, fazendo com que qualquer pessoa se interesse pelo cenário atual, e , para as pessoas que não tem paciência podem simplesmente passar direto. O seu poder de voltar no tempo faz com que ao fazer uma escolha que você ache ruim voltar no tempo e escolher outra opção seja o mais ideal para o momento, mesmo que depois você veja que não era bem assim. Para manter o foco dos jogadores life is strange aposta na liberdade de escolhas e de relacionamentos com pessoas locais, fazendo com que coisas que você vê agora, como simplesmente ler uma bíblia salvará uma pessoa do suicídio no futuro, ou não devido a sua escolha. Life is strange têm muitos personagens marcantes. Como sua melhor amiga, que fará você escolher um fim um tanto quanto cruel ou não. Sendo lembrados até hoje, mesmo com o lançamento de “Life Is Strange 2” muitas pessoas ainda se interessarem pela história do primeiro jogo. Se analisarmos as estatísticas dos players online em ambos os jogos veremos que, Life is strange ainda supera o Life is strange 2, mesmo sendo lançado a 4 anos atrás, e life is strange 2 tendo seu 2 episódio lançado a 2 meses atrás… Com uma trilha sonora marcante e digna de prêmios life is strange acerta em cheio nas artes visuais, cenários condizentes com a proposta, um efeito de bem estar é dado nos momentos de relaxar e curtir o jogo. Também contendo partes tristes caracterizadas por músicas calmas causando uma certa emoção nos players. O público alvo nesse jogo é de jovens / adultos com interesse em teorias, tentativas de explicação do universo.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I know this is a 7-year-old game, but screw it.

    Story and atmosphere are absolutely phenomenal. And the climax was emotional and brilliant and just really well-done.

    But I do have a couple critiques of the story.

    I felt like the scene where Victoria was trying to seduce the teacher was pretty weak. It obviously existed to solidify Mr. Jefferson as a trustworthy man before he surprises you by revealing he was the main bad guy all along, which is just really cliché. I really wish Jefferson could have alluded to his creepy side better before the reveal.

    It's obvious that sacrificing Chloe is the "intended" way to end the game, but the "sacrifice Arcadia Bay" option feels like a missed opportunity since it could have been really powerful too: Max is refusing to just accept what "fate" wants and will do absolutely whatever she can for her friend, which is pretty badass. It would have been nice to see this mindset reflected in the game, especially because player choice is the game's core theme.

    Overall, I think it probably deserves like a 9.7 out of 10. Totally glad I got to play it.    … Expand

    Bon ça fait un moment que le jeu trainait dans ma ludothèque et je rechignais à me lancer... c'est chose faite, et je ne regrette pas !

    Pour la faire courte, ce jeu n'est pas pour vous si tout rythme un peu contemplatif vous gonfle. Si vous pouvez passer outre, alors vous devriez donner une chance à Life is Strange.

    Pour la faire courte, ce jeu n'est pas pour vous si tout rythme un peu contemplatif vous gonfle. Si vous pouvez passer outre, alors vous devriez donner une chance à Life is Strange.

    Beaucoup d'avis ont déjà été laissé sur le jeu, je ne vais donc pas m'étendre outre mesure. Bien que Life is Strange soit plaisant et entraînant, il n'est pas pour autant exempt de tout reproche. J'en vois deux, principalement :

    - Un gameplay maigre et plutôt faiblard. Certes, c'est rarement un point fort dans ce genre de jeu, mais ce n'est pas une raison pour s'en contenter. En gros, vous allez spammer toutes les indications à l'écran sur chaque "tableau" et rembobiner le temps deux/trois, bien obligé par le scénario ou pour résoudre quelques énigmes pas bien méchantes.

    - Un scénario qui s'effiloche au fil des épisodes. Quel dommage ! Mais pas si étonnant, quand la thématique tourne autour des modifications temporelles... il y a forcément un moment où ça part en cacahuète. Ca commence par le syndrome des personnages stupides, qui apparait à l'épisode 4. Seul moyen pour les scénaristes de faire tenir l'édifice jusqu'au dénouement. Dans le genre roue libre, l'épisode 5 se pose en exemple. Il y a de bons moments, bien sûr, mais globalement c'est le freestyle complet et on perçoit presque la panique de l'équipe d'écriture qui cherche à boucler son histoire.

    Hormis ces deux éléments qui peuvent vous échauder, je vous conseille encore une fois de tenter l'aventure. Life is Strange me parait être moins rejouable que d'autres jeux du genre, mais c'est à vous de vous faire une opinion à ce sujet. En ce qui me concerne, je parcours ces jeux une fois et ça me convient !    … Expand

    The game is one of the best in its genre. The adventure of Max with Chloe is very addictive. The ending is very emotional, a lot of difficult choices.

    Life Is Strange is an imperfect video game and the actual mechanics of playing it, including the time rewind, can become annoying of frustrating, especially when the development team tries to borrow from another genre. But the game makes it easy to create a connection with Max and to care about her choices and trials, a rare feat, and that means any fan of narrative-driven experiences should try it out to see how he deals with the feelings of the protagonist and the impact they have on Arcadia Bay.

    Life is Strange is flawed, but this paranormal coming-of-age story is nevertheless refreshing proof that small stakes can still feel important, given strong characters.
