Feb 13, 2021More 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).

Mar 7, 2016'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!

Mar 4, 2017Never 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.

Feb 8, 2016Life 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.

Jan 19, 2016A 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!

Sep 5, 2017Amazing game. After the first episode, things took off pretty fast, and I was hooked on the story and the characters. I just wish they made many more games like this.

May 4, 2016Simply astonishing.
Brilliant story telling, appealing characters and an awesome soundtrack make this game as the best narrative game i've ever played. Thank you so much for all those feelings. Telltale, you have found your master, it's Dontnod. -

Sep 7, 2016Is the best game of all this generation: a great story, wonderfull characters and a precious look. Since I bought my PS4 this game is the only good game for this system.

May 26, 2023This is an excellent story-driven game I like that it lets the viewer test which decision he is comfortable with thru the character's powers, also the added mystery of the game plot makes it a great game to sit back and enjoy as the story unfolds.

Jan 23, 2016Further proof that video games can tell emotionally engaging stories and present relatable characters. 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. If you are looking to take a break from the usual RPGs and shooters, then I recommend you start with Life is Strange.

Feb 6, 2016When you first start the game, the dialog can seem a bit cheesy. But, give it time, and you'll get used to how they speak. Once you get past that initial hurtle, the game sucks you into the story. I beat all the episodes within 2 days - I was hooked.

Feb 8, 2016Beautiful, lyrical and smart, Life is Strange draws you in with emotionally engaging characters and a great storyline. No twitch reflexes needed. Just bring your heart and your mind.

Feb 5, 2016An 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".
-
Feb 1, 2016The 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.

Jan 21, 2016Despite its obvious flaws the reactive story and compelling characters make this one of the best storytelling experiences of the current generation.
