    Jogo riquíssimo no requisito história, o gráfico deixa um pouco a desejar, mas a história e o carismo dos personagens faz você se apegar no jogo de uma forma que não sei explicar. Sem dúvida é uns dos melhores jogo dessa geração.

    phenomenal video game. Feels like a Netflix show with the high school nostalgia, one the best and well executed games of this generation

    Honestly, I expected a boring teen drama with superpowers, but the story appeared to be quite mature and engaging. Sometimes it's a bit cheesy, but in the next scene you are shocked by it's seriousness. The plot is much better than most of Netflix series and may be inspiring, especially for younger players. I had fun collecting photos in this beautiful game.

    Al principio pensé que acabaría dejando de jugar, hasta que me enganché e incluso me he vuelto fan de este estudio. Precioso visualmente, los personajes y su historia. Es una maravilla de juego.

    Historia muy bien argumentada, los personajes están muy bien creados (en el sentido de su personalidad).

    One and done to say the least. Great for the first play through but after that, there’s practically no reason to replay it. If it had higher replay value I’d give it a solid 8 but alas I can’t. Still beats Before The Storm. Pass on that one.

    Emocionante, Life is Strange é um catalisador de emoções com uma das narrativas mais fortes que já presenciei em um video game, trilha sonora e arte se somam pra criar um conjunto gratificante

    Simplesmente incrível! A Dontnod realmente sabe abordar temas delicados com muito cuidado e de ótima forma. A trilha sonora e direção de arte do jogo são impecáveis, a dublagem é magnífica e a história é fenomenal. Esse jogo mudou a minha vida e é o meu favorito de todos os tempos.

    This was probably the most unique choice-based game. This by far surpasses the story-telling of the tell-tale games. The ability to rewind time is amazing.

    Story / Character Development.: The two story aspects focusing on max's power and the relationships between max and the other characters as well as the murder mystery worked really well together. The finale episode felt really rushed but other than that I was really hooked from start to end.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *some spoilers*
    Story: 5/10
    Gameplay: 0/10
    Music: 6/10
    Animation/Graphics: 9/10

    1. How can you call this a game when your choices do not effect the end game? The end comes down to two choices that your past actions don't effect at all. It's a well animated and voice acted drama that you click through- NOT a game.
    2. What's the lesson or moral in this game? Trick question, there isn't one.
    3. Why does max have time to read posters but not rewind time sooner to prevent child suicide?! Isn't that the point of her powers?
    4. This game give the player so little agency that it just should have been a movie.
    5. I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it

    6. I'm in awe how positively reviewed this "game" is when it is a straight up lie about offering any agency to the player. Next time make a documentary.    … Expand

    I bought this game long ago, I download it 3 times but never able to play through the first 30 mutinies, Because I thought that it is impossible that a choose-driven game could succeed with a system you can regret your choice. But it does! And it became my favorite game ever!

    Maravilloso de principio a fin... Se disfruta cada segundo del juego y la decisión final es simplemente descorazonadora... Se empatiza con muchos de los personajes, sobre todo con Max y Chloe, pero también con Victoria o Kate.
    Buena jugabilidad y escenarios realmente vistosos.
    Muy buen juego.

    This game has broken me more than once (damn you dontnod!), the art design is stunning and the story is emotional, mysterious and will leave you gripped until the very end, but my favorite aspect of this game is the wonderful dynamic of its protagonists: Max & Chloe.

    Brilliant video game.

    Story is incredible with shocking plot twists.

    Good characters and character development, the game almost made me cry.
    Just a powerful game
    (I hated the fact that I had to wait a few months between each episodes though)

    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.

    Despite its obvious flaws the reactive story and compelling characters make this one of the best storytelling experiences of the current generation.
