    It is difficult to describe life is strange. I never felt so immersed in a character as it was with max in life is strange, and how I love this character, every sentence she said when we were looking for something ... The voice acting of the character is also very good. This game will mark me forever.

    Really nice game! Great soundtrack with a great atmosphere. Cloe and Max are good written interesting characters with an excellent story to tell about a friendship.

Overall when I first played the game it was a really good game that I liked, but I was younger at that time and didn't understand all the things properly, but the second time I played it. It become one of my favorite games that I played. The decisions that are so hard to decide because you grew some liking to those characters and you can't decide or sometimes when the song you like kicks in and you feel so relaxed and when you can take the photo of the one squirrel and all these stuff like this to make it so good game and definitely one of mine favorite games.… Expand

    It's been a while since I cried on a videogame and Lis did it perfectly. The immersion of this gem is incredible. It's the first time on a video game that I love everything on it. (musics, storytelling, puzzle, characters, gameplay). If you want to travel on an beautiful adventure for this lockdown you just find the perfect video game!

    Amazing game really enjoyed playing it. Graphics are awesome for 2015. Music is beautiful and makes the whole experience better. Story is awesome. Max and Chole as characters are really likable. Honestly this game became one of my favorite games and i am happy that we will be getting a remaster this year.

Life is strange sangat cocok untuk semua orang yang sudah cukup umur dan siap emosional, khusunya untuk remaja.

    I ventured into "Life is Strange" with uncertain expectations, knowing only that it would be an adventure game akin to Telltale's style, where choices matter and decisions hold weight.

However, what awaited me was a pleasantly surprising and deeply enchanting experience. I found myself utterly captivated by the characters, the intricate storytelling, and every other aspect of the game.

    The depth of the characters and their personal narratives is what I cherished most. Chloe and Max, in particular, left an indelible mark on my heart. The freedom to explore the world and the charming character hubs added a layer of immersion that made the game feel alive and inviting. I was astonished by the profound connection I developed with these characters – it was an unexpected and moving encounter.

    The Telltale-inspired style combined with the unique ability to control the characters and the intriguing chaos theory theme were a perfect blend. The time-rewind mechanic, in particular, was masterfully executed, adding an intriguing dimension to the gameplay.

    "Life is Strange" offered an extraordinary and singular journey, brimming with emotion and genuine feelings. I couldn't find a single flaw to complain about, and it has secured a place among my all-time favorite games.

    Certain scenes had such a profound impact on me that I felt overwhelmed with emotions. There were moments when I couldn't bear to explore further or continue playing. Twice, I found myself gazing at the monitor, lost in contemplation. The game managed to evoke teary eyes in some scenes, an achievement only previously attained by Telltale's "The Walking Dead."

    In conclusion, "Life is Strange" is a truly unique and emotionally poignant experience, impeccably crafted with a brilliant narrative. It stands as a remarkable piece of art, a game that resonates deeply and leaves a lasting impression. I wholeheartedly celebrate this masterfully done creation and applaud its exceptional storytelling. It's an amazing gem, and I'm grateful to have embarked on this touching and unforgettable journey.    … Expand

В видеоиграх, в диалоговом окне и последствие после выбранного нами действия. Конечное - да! Если при первом прохождении всё сложилось как нужно игре, а не Вам. На примере прекрасной Life Is Strange, эта задача с последствиями рушится об пятый эпизод. Если на это не обращать внимание, чаще вслушиваться, всматриваться в происходящие, разговаривать с каждым, для себя выделять моменты истории, до самого конца приключения не оставит шансов грусти и успеет вовлечь в каждую часть данной страной жизни

    В обзоре от «IGN Россия» (сайт IGN Russia – русская версия международного портала IGN, запущенная в 2013 году) Олег Зайцев высказывает мнение, что по первому эпизоду сложно и ошибочно судить об общих элементах игры. Далее он заявляет, что созданные сюжетные линии паранормальных способностей, исчезновения девушки и взросления главной героини могут легко объединиться в одну, но, как отмечает рецензент, «нет никаких гарантий, что детектив, мистика и подростковая мелодрама в итоге сольются во что-то прекрасное».

    _как эмоциональная составляющая игры Life Is Strange однозначно является гарантом качества. Гнев, ненависть, сочувствие, радость, эгоизм, в общем и целом весь спектр подросткового переживания, представлен по максимуму. Главное вбить себе в голову, что это не твоё состояние, не твои заботы, не ты как игрок переживаешь всё происходящие, а наши прекрасные главные героини Макс и Хлоя, которые, нам продемонстрируют свою жизнь в такой мистический период своей жизни странной

    *_is there a common selection rule? In video games, in the dialog box and the consequence after the action we have chosen. Ultimate - yes! If during the first passage everything turned out as the game needs, and not for you. On the example of the beautiful Life Is Strange, this task with consequences collapses on the fifth episode. If you do not pay attention to this, listen more often, peer into what is happening, talk with everyone, single out moments of history for yourself, until the very end of the adventure there will be no chance of sadness and will have time to involve in every part of this country of life

    In a review from IGN Russia (the IGN Russia website is the Russian version of the international IGN portal, launched in 2013), Oleg Zaitsev opines that the first episode is difficult and misleading to judge the general elements of the game. He goes on to state that the created storylines of psychic powers, the girl's disappearance, and the protagonist's coming of age can easily be combined into one, but, as the reviewer notes, "there is no guarantee that detective, mysticism, and teen melodrama will eventually merge into something beautiful." .

    _as an emotional component of the game Life Is Strange is definitely a guarantee of quality. Anger, hatred, sympathy, joy, selfishness, in general, the entire spectrum of teenage experiences, is presented to the maximum. The main thing is to get it into your head that this is not your condition, not your worries, not you, as a player, are experiencing everything that happens, but our beautiful main characters Max and Chloe, who will demonstrate their life to us in such a mystical period of their strange life    … Expand

    Life Is Strange is one of the best games I've ever played. An unforgettable and exciting graphic adventure. A game that made me cry like no other. A masterpiece that graphically is not Exciting but in my opinion the graphics is the least important aspect of this game that despite being not graphically exorbitant, manages to be expressive as never before.

    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.
