    Outstanding game that shows what's possible in this medium. Great art and music, incredible writing including mood-setting and cliffhangers for a game.

    The noteworthy aspect of the writing is the fearlessness with which normally taboo subjects are integrated (not as a big "look at us being rebels" signal, but as natural aspects of things that happen in life is strange).    … Expand

    More a gem than a game. A must for all people with a heart. LiS evokes feelings that are extremely rare in games. Just play it (1. LiS Before the Storm. 2. LiS).

    'Life Is Strange' is the best-written computer game I've ever come across. Game play and cinematics are a bit ho-hum, but the writing pays for all. You can't find a better use for $20!

    Never in my 24 years of gaming has a game affected me on this level. I am absolutely flabbergasted and emotionally drained from this game. Only a monster could make it through this game with a dry eye. I bought this on sale on the PSN store, and after I beat it I instantly went and bought the physical limited edition. No regrets.

    Life is Strange propels the medium of story-telling in games to new heights. Games like this mark the beginning of a new era. With the shift to open-world elements in games(I'm looking at you Metal Gear Solid 5 ) I'm happy to see that there is still a big focus on engaging story-telling and cinematics.

    A stellar example of story telling and a proof that there are no limits of what videogames can achieve. If you like telltale, you will love this! If you like great stories and characters, you will love this! If you have a heart, you will love this!

    Life is Strange is an utterly fantastic experience. It is like the best interactive parts of Mass Effect or The Witcher 3. It is like a Telltale game if Telltale games looked like modern games. It is like an interactive video that really is an interactive video. The story is immersive, the characters salient, and mechanics brilliant. I highly recommend this game.

The story is immersive, the characters salient, and mechanics brilliant. I highly recommend this game.

    The human time machine mechanic in Life is Strange is sort of an anti-game mechanic. Every important decision can be rewound and repeated with a different outcome as many times as you like before moving onto the next encounter. I cycled through all the options on several occasions, having all the time in the world to make a decision. This is a sharp contrast to Telltale games where your decision making can be mooted by missing a quick time event. (We've all lost good people because we didn't see the notification to press X.) Lost is Strange may seem to have low stakes game play, but they it doesn't. Each decision has consequences later in a masterfully written story.

    As mentioned above, plenty of other games have presented great stories that can be shaped by players. Most of these were action games where you would stop for conversation after killing dozens of enemies. A game like Life is Strange is what happens when you take mass murder out of the equation. In a further anathema to modern gaming, the story is a about a mopey teenage girl and her girl friends in a mysterious coastal town backed by a soft indie soundtrack. Maybe Life is Strange works so well because it is so fresh and different. I certainly want to see more games like it.    … Expand

In hindsight I would use this game as prove that videogames can be art and tell compelling stories. I heard from a lot of people that this was an amazing game and the reviews seem to prove this. So when the complete game was available I bought it. I should warn you that this game style like the Telltale games (Walking Dead, Wolf Among Us, Batman etc.) are not for everyone. Some criticize this for being an interactive movie instead of a videogames and it is not a wrong argument per se. However this is preferences and not a weakness of the game. I truly enjoyed the game like many others and we all want a continuation of this games story. The story follows Maxine Caulfield (Just called Max) who returned to her former hometown the small city Arcadia Bay to study photography at the Blackwell Academy. Her family moved to another town 5 years ago and she left a lot of people behind including her best friend Chloe Price. Arcadia Bay has become infamous as student Rachel Amber vanished without trace six months ago which is still a big topic. Max is drawn into the events of the game and the past also caught up to her. Small spoiler warning but it is in the games description even on Metacritic: Max discovers that she can rewind time (in a small amount) with all advantages like retrying and remembering what happened. However it is limited and she cant rewind for long periods. I think it is not even enough to win a lottery but enough for Las Vegas and still immensely useful. End of small spoilers. The story works really well. I was fully invested into the outcomes, characters and progress. It creates immersion and emotions which is the key to good story telling. Also the twists were excellent. Like in other games in this genre your decisions influence the story to some extend. There are different results or outcomes depending what you do, say or decide. It is more than in the Telltale Games as there are some bigger differences. The characters are the next strength of the game. Max is one of my favorite video game characters. She is relatable, smart and kindhearted. Her struggles and journey are amazing. This is also true for Chloe Price who is amazing too. She is equally good, relatable but a bit hardened by life. These two together are amazing and have a great chemistry. The support characters are good too. Kate Marsh and Victoria Chase are well written and genuine. They have depth and you see what they are made of. Also valid for Warren Graham, Nathan Prescot, Joyce Price, David Madsen and Mark Jefferson. The writers and voice actors deliver a truly good result. I saw no missteps and flaws as the experience was always enjoyable, immersive and intense at the right moments. Gameplay wise it is a bit like an interactive movie. There are some riddles or puzzles. I like how they integrated Max skills into this. However it is not a puzzle game and the core aspects are about decisions and creating your path through the story. There will be hard choices and decisions. Like I said there are often multiple outcomes for the events and past decisions can bite you in the back. Graphically I love the art style. The characters look amazing and all emotions are well transferred. I would buy an art book. Overall this was a positive surprise and I want to see more from the character. The game left an impact and I hope Max and Chloe’s story will be continued. An easy recommendation if you like this genre or good characters in an interesting mystery.… Expand

    This game is a masterpiece. At the beginning, I thought it was just a kind of teen drama, based on the importance of friendship and on the story of a typical geek bullied at school. But it goes over.

    First of all the less interesting part, the graphics, they are quite good but similar to those of a PS3 game, even though they improve a little in the last chapters.
    But the story is absolutely captivating and the plot depends highly on your choices during the whole game.
    It's not just the story of a shy teenager who's attending a new school trying to make new friendships, there is a big mystery to solve about a disappeared girl and other important decisions to make, as the protagonist finds out to have a strong power: she can rewind time. You can choose when rewinding time, changing your decisions, your actions, your words. It makes the game more interesting and in the end there are just two crucial choices to take which really makes you feel bad. I appreciate the realistic dialogues, situations and troubles linked to her supernatural power.
    I like the story because since the beginning it makes you feel anxious and you want always to know how it will end. I absolutely love also the theme songs during the game, especially in the chapters finals.
    The gameplay, being an interactive drama, is quite basic, you just have to walk and press buttons when required. You definitely put yourself in the main character's shoes and this is what I loved the most in this amazing game, I think it is a masterpiece, unluckily one of the most undervalued games.    … Expand

    Life is Strange conta a historia de uma jovem Mulher de 18 anos chamada Max Caufield, que volta para Arcadia Bay para estudar numa Academia de Fotografia, e em seu prologo, ela salva uma moça chamada Chloe, sua antiga amiga de infância que ela não se fala desde os 13 anos, quando se mudou, salvando-a de tomar um tiro de Natan Prescott, um jovem rico muito poderoso, estendendo o braço, fazendo voltar no tempo, ela consegue reverter a situação e salvar Chloe
    Cada Personagem tem sua historia muito interessante , porém, há personagens em que a historia poderia ser mais bem desenvolvida, mas são poucos, como o Daniel, um garoto que sofre bullying, mas são poucos personagens que acontece isso, mas a proposta do jogo foi realmente esta, para que a ambientação do game esteja de acordo, uma escola grande, com diversos alunos, e difícil realmente fazer muito contato, já que Max não é realmente uma garota muito popular
    A trilha Sonora, Ambientação e o Enredo com certeza são os pontos cruciais do game, A trilha sonora feita pela Square Enix/Dontnod foi escolhida a dedos, com cada musica e ambiente perfeitos para o momento
    A Ambientação em qualquer lugar foi espetacular, nos quartos/dormitórios, Na escola, Lixão e entre outros lugares não há o que reclamar
    Enredo há algumas ressalvas, como tem momentos que eles poderiam ter explicado melhor as ações dos personagens e porque, principalmente no seu ultimo capitulo
    Os gráficos são bons, com certeza poderiam ter melhorado, e as vezes podemos ver bugs, mas poucas vezes
    O fator de escolhas é o ponto baixo, mas de maneira relativa, dentro do contexto geral da historia, é MUITO IMPORTANTE, mas para o final, isso não muda, tem dois finais, e você escolhe no momento
    Opinião Importante: O jogo atualmente foi lançado em mídia física no valor de 40 Dolares (Dificilmente vi ela no Brasil) e no ML apenas por 200/230, Então, comprem em mídia digital por 40 Reais todos os episódios, Oficialmente na PlayStation Store, e lançaram a atualização pra ter Legendas em Português, e isso é Muito Bom

    First thing it’s worth commenting is that I think this isn’t a game for everybody. If you like fast paced games, with a lot of action or where you play a very active role then this isn’t gonna be your thing. This game presents a slow paced gameplay where you basically walk around, talk to people and look at objects; it creates tension and interest through the story, not the gameplay. Said that, it is very similar, in terms of how to play it, to heavy rain, until dawn etc., so if you liked those, chances are you will like this one. I always describe these games as point a click adventures, but without the puzzling element the classic adventures used to have, it is a lot simpler (sometimes even too easy) to progress here. How long to beat? Probably around 15h, assuming you like to explore the surroundings, a bit more, maybe, if you want to find the collectibles.

    Other things, the graphic style is a bit weird sometimes but I’ve come to like it (take a look at some videos and pics), I don’t think it ruins the experience or anything so they’re good enough. The OST is fantastic, the music goes incredibly well with the game, they’ve done a great work here. Finally and most importantly, the story is great although I must say it might feel a bit slow. The first two episodes are a bit of an introduction and then real interesting stuff starts to happen from middle/ending of episode 3 onwards. This means, it may feel a bit too slow at the beginning (that’s what I felt), but if you hang in there until the end you’ll realise the story is actually quite well done. It left me with a feeling of “wow, this was interesting” at the end. The characters are likeable in my opinion, although this is highly subjective and the story I think is highly focused on the feelings of both the main character and one of her friends, which you may or may not like, but don’t get me wrong, still a thrilling story behind all this, it is not all cheesy.

    Anyway, I quite like games that make me feel something in the end, after playing games for more than 20 years I find most of them don’t make me feel anything special at the end; well…this one did. If you’re looking for something a bit fresh with a good story and don’t mind about slow paced mechanics, give it a try. If you’re the kind of person that only that likes fast paced games where you have to take a very active role bla bla bla you might want to spend your money elsewhere.    … Expand

Superb voice acting, beautiful art design, a smooth score, and good use of licensed music all help to make this story game one worth playing.

One interesting part is after each episode they tell you the percent of people who chose each option for every "question". One thing that is very important to me is value in a game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Life is Strange is a fabulous game. I, personally, love it. The main plot is truly beautiful in the sense that is perfectly and very descriptively goes through each and every bit of story, in a totally non-confusing way. it tells a great story of a girl named Max who has just moved back home. Now it seems a little crazy, and the time traveling foundation can seem shaky and does appear completely fictional. However the way Max uses her ability to time travel and the way she spends her time and uses the information she has is unbelievably human. It is realistic and believable and it is beautiful. It makes me cry when I think of the plot solely because the story is so pure and shows some (somewhat) real responses to (somewhat) real human issues. It is relatable and just a great game in general. the graphics and art style are great and it is just fabulous overall. 100% recommended!!… Expand

Throughout the game, Max uses her time powers in her everyday school-life, saving those she cares about and all while investigating the strange happenings in her home town of Arcadia Bay.

    Max’s time and space manipulation powers are some of the most impressive time/space powers that I’ve seen in a modern-day game. Max’s main power is her time-reverse ability, which is limited. It only allows her to go back in time, up to a few minutes, which is great for changing conversations, gathering important information or to get the best outcomes out of specific interactions The ability to see the initial outcome of your decisions and to have the option to change them, gives players better control on how the story develops and is a huge step forward for these types of choose-your-own adventure games.

    Secondly, Max’s time travel powers manifest in a different way using her love of photography. Without spoiling too much of the story, one of Max’s more prominent abilities later in the game allows her to change whole timelines for better or worse. It really opens up the game to a more dynamic element of time-travel that really solidifies the game’s heavier emotional and sci-fi elements.

    On top of Max’s amazing powers, Life is Strange has an emotionally gripping story. Not only does it give true science fiction enthusiasts a great story to rival movies like The Time Machine, Butterfly Effect, and Back to the Future, it also creates a truly immersive, dramatically-dynamic game similar to Heavy Rain. With choice being the main concept and consequences really meaning something, the game shows off it’s incredibly impassioned story telling with meaningfully hard choices and conversations that create a rippling effect that really make the player question their decisions as the game progresses, but in a positive way.

    While investigating, the game has you following a bold story with tons of intrigue and peril that truly keeps players on their toes. It should’ve been something I saw coming but the writing and personal choices I made really kept me guessing until the end, making it into a truly awesome roller-coaster mystery adventure. On top of that, the mystery solving in the game felt real, as if it were something I could figure out in real life. At one point in the game, Max and Chloe have to put together evidence they collected, which added a surprisingly fun puzzle element to the game without being stupid easy or ridiculously hard.
    The soundtrack was definitely a stand-out element of this game. Not only did the director do a fantastic job of creating a perfect environment for the soundtrack but the timing and artistic aesthetic made one of the best video game soundtracks. In a weird set of events, I accidentally ended up getting the Limited Edition version of the game, which came with a CD of the soundtrack. Some of the bands include Syd Matters, Message to Bears, Bright Eyes and several other indie-alternative artists.

    This game wasn’t without faults though as it had a rough introduction. From the very start, Max attends a prestigious, private art school which made the initial feel of the game to be pretentious. If you’re not big into art and photography it can be a bit of a drag. There were definitely some more down-to-earth supporting characters but, initially at least, I found it a bit hard to get into the setting of the story.

    Secondly, the game world of Arcadia Bay and Blackwell College was well done but I felt that the much of the click-and-point elements were meaningless. Even though most of time, interactions and conversations gave you some decent insight into the story, I found that a large portion of it was useless fluff. As an example, Chloe would comment on strange things like a poster or options like investigating the dirtiness of a vehicle. It slows the pacing of the game with unnecessary dialogue most of the time.

    Life is Strange is by far, one of the most impressive adventures games to date. It mixed emotional story-telling, dynamic gameplay and sci-fi time travel perfectly. This should be the new benchmark for choose-your-own adventure games because if this is what we can get out of these style of games, it makes me eager for the next one.

    It does not have the best start, Episode 1 is Ok, And Episode 2 is great, but the real moment of this game is episode 3 and 4, Extremely amazing

    gameplay=7/10: The game play incorporates the use of time travel which forms a different type of choice genre which i kind of wish was used more however i was not because it wouldn't feel unique. The game play uses this feature to make non repetitive and can be used for a variety of things and doesn't look like its trying too hard and more like its experimental. The element of choice in this game actually makes an influence on later dialogue and situations which really makes it seems that you must plan carefully more than any telltale game combined.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you can live with consistency errors and care for an emotional journey, then Life is Strange is perfect for you.

    As a cinematic movie/interactive movie game alá Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls, Fahrenheit, et cetera Life is Strange does not have too much gameplay behind it. But for me personally it is just enough. The bit that you can do helps you getting emotionally invested in the life of Max Caulfield who really does care the most about her relationship with her best friend. While exploring this relationship it truly shows what kind of a person Max is, what she would go through, what she can and cannot accept and with a really beautiful, relaxing soundtrack and artstyle it is one of a kind.

    Contra: Life is Strange does not know what it wants to be. It starts of acting like it deals with the Grandfather Consistency Paradox (Overwriting Reality to make place for another one) and then mid-story swaps out for the Multiversal Alternate Timeline Explanation. But it does never actually explain "oh, yes, it is that way instead", it just treats it like that and not even consistently because it stil talks about "changing time" once in a while and that is a mis-use of the word in this context normally. Also, while a consistency paradox has its problems as you cannot overwrite the reality you come from (yes, not even turn around a pebble as it still is another reality) keeping this version of time manipulation would have been better for the story because narration-wise alternate timelines are pretty inconsequential for the point the story is so often trying to make. Nevertheless I have played through Life is Strange very often and I really can say this is a game people should at east have played once.    … Expand

You may think that reversing time is a very safe way to play a game that is entirely up to choices, yet you never imagine all the long term implications and consequences those little "safe choices" can bring, and damn they are some hard choices as well. Here a quick recap of key aspects of this masterpiece.

    Characters/ The characters in this game are pretty well balanced, there is a good blend between different personalities and roles, and most importantly, key characters are compelling, enriched and very easy to get interested by them. Max can be so relatable to almost everyone that its so easy to see the life through her eyes, and its great to see many of these characters have layers in them, very rewarding to gain extra insight through simple things and narrative.

    Gameplay / Gameplay is very standard for this kinda games in this regard, pretty simple controls and more focused on the narrative and visual style (which is AMAZING btw) it has a very good soundtrack and the art and color palette are beautiful! A good vehicle for a great story.

    And boy about story.. this is the main reason y give this game a 10, i was completely absorbed by it.
    so many gut punching choices and also some sense of relief when choosing and liking the result you get, this game is a roller coaster that goes to places i never expected but that leave me absolutely thrilled by those twists and turns, this is where the game shines the most in my opinion.

    In the end Life is Strange is one of the most important and best reasons why i like games, because it tells a story, a great story and if you like that, you are in for a real treat. :)    … Expand

    This is my new favorite game of all time. This is coming from someone who is obsessed with uncharted, last of us, GTA, but I also appreciate hidden gem indie games as well.

    You fall in love with the characters and the world in this game. The first episode is amazing, but just like in tv shows, where things get crazy in the finale, things end up getting CRAZY in the later episodes, and when an episode ends, it feels like a breaking bad moment where you NEED to start the next episode immediately.

    If anyone has given this game bad reviews because of the graphics or lip syncing, then they're too picky. Life is strange's environment is amazing. The sense of atmosphere you get from wandering it's world is so real its almost scary. The score is so professionally done, I felt like I was playing a Hollywood movie. Yes, the lip syncing isn't perfect (the game was made on a small budget) but it clearly doesn't hurt the game, as the story and characters are the best thing about the game! I think it bothered me for the firs 5 minutes but then I got past it easily, and just kind of becomes part of the style of the game.

    The story is legit amazing, I guarentee you will fall in love with this game if you like story driven games. It's a high school simulator but feels like it was written by the creators of black mirror or something.

    Truly special game..

There are times where I just couldn't stop crying - some of the scenes and events in the story really affected me. I feel wiser for having played through the game, and I feel like I've experienced something that I can take with me long after my episode 5 end credits.

    All of the characters - major and minor - are believable, unique and complex, like real people. I really connected with all of the characters in some way, and if I didn't, I still felt something else for them. They were all very well developed. I really connected with Chloe especially - I knew someone sort of like her in my long past that meant a lot to me too, and I'm female and gay, so lots to relate.

    The sound track fits the game perfectly. The voice acting is incredible. The colours and attention to even the smallest details and consistency is truly amazing. The story has so much suspense, with lots of twists and turns that will keep you guessing for quite awhile, and everything makes sense when the answers are finally revealed. The themes of friendship and love are the most powerful I've ever seen done in pretty much any media.

    I can't really call this a game though - if you buy thinking you want a challenge or to experience a permanent failure - like jumping into a pit in a Mario game or losing all of your health in a shooter - then this game isn't for you (and if that's you, that's cool, but that also doesn't mean the game should get a 0). It's really an interactive story, that really connects with you on a personal level - something movies and comics simply can't do.

    In terms of mechanics within the game, I think the only criticism is the long wait times for rewinding large sections of the game, but that's honestly a minor blemish on an other perfect experience.

    Lots Chinese forum users give it avg. 9+ rating. I Watched video walk-through as many recommended it as one of best English learning games. Have to say don't expect there exists this many ways to say weed and step-father.....Just kidding.......

    Life is strange is one of these games that when you start playing you feel connected to the character. Only one word can describe it: art. 10/10

    The game is a masterpiece from Dialogue too characters too the choices you can make.
    Teenager getting the ability too change time but realises slowly that it can also have it's downfalls and not in all scenarios. Just like in real life sometimes certain choices seem good but can have a reverse effect.

    This game changed my life and it's so amazing.

    Wonderful piece of art. Beautiful visuals and story. The characters are relatable, perfectly written and acted. The story is deep and emotive, this game takes several real life issues like depression, bully, racism,drugs and manages to tie then all up in a perfect way. This game truly made me cry, I will never forget this game

    Life Is Strange is a masterpiece. The story of Life Is Strange has to be experienced. You play the game for the story, not for the gameplay.

The story of Life Is Strange has to be experienced. You play the game for the story, not for the gameplay.

    Story: First of all to the most important part of Life Is Strange (spoiler free of course): The Story.
    As already mentioned, Life Is Strange is played exactly for this wonderful and very emotional story. The characters are perfect, dialogues are well portrayed and the story is also thrilling, sad and thought-provoking. Life Is Strange also lives up to its name. The story is really strange at some points because of its special ability. That's exactly what makes the story so good! It's fun to follow the story.
    What I also like very much is that you can influence the story with decisions in the game. So every player gets an individual experience. That's what only few games offers - that's why you should definitely have a look at Life Is Strange!

    Gameplay: Now to the less important point (in this case): Gameplay. As a true gamer you would probably call the gameplay of Life Is Strange boring. I'm a true gamer and I disagree completely. The developers of Life Is Strange have placed little value on gameplay. The focus was on the story. Don't buy Life Is Strange because of the gameplay. You won't expect anything special here. But due to the EXTREMELY good story I didn't deduct a single point in the rating.

    Conclusion: Every story lover should have played Life Is Strange in any case! It's a feast for the eyes when it comes to the story. Very exciting and emotional. I also like to remember this story again and again. And I only claim that for a few Story games.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I recently replayed this game again. I played it originally 5 years ago, but it really has a lot of replay value once you forget the little details. The thing that makes this game such a masterpiece is the interactions. Every dialogue stacks up with the following, until the final choice. SPOILERS, but to me there's only one true ending. Unlike let's say, last of us, not making the selfish choice really makes sense too, for the characters and it feels so much more meaningful. Like, yeah, I think everyone wants Chloe to live, but what really makes that decision so powerful its the fact that...both make sense in a way. If you're selfish, it feels like you've been protecting Chloe every step, so you can't accept the fact that she has to die. It feels real because even if the moral choice is obvious, what we really care about is our own emotions and the ones we love. That person was always Chloe (check the journal and pay attention to your interactions, sometimes it's very noticeable and others a lot more subtle). The thing is, it's not about a moral choice, it's about a lesson of letting go. Everything started because of that decision. Nature has to continue it's course and maybe even if you save her, it doesn't matter and destruction will follow. The only way it's to accept that moving forward is what the entire game was about. You have to accept that moving on is the only way. And that's a beautiful yet heartbreaking ending to a masterpiece in storytelling. The game is full of tiny details, immersion, music, great characters, a **** of lovable cheesiness. To me Life is Strange is one of the best games ever made. Every decision makes you think.

    This is a 100% necessary experience. I can't recommend this enough :)    … Expand

    An honest, sometimes even painful, story about friendship and finding yourself. Life is Strange is played with a lump in the throat and its ability to make a grown man tear up is its true "power".

    The Limited Edition of Life is Strange doesn’t introduce anything new. The graphics are the same, as well as individual episodes that form this wonderful adventure. The art book and soundtrack are still a nice plus that could push some collectors to purchase this edition.
