You think you’re in control. You’re not. Life is Strange gives you choices, but it also shows you what they cost. And that’s what makes it hit. Legendary Story Game. You should play it for at least once.
Years later and this game still hits just hard. The atmosphere the indie musics and the weight of every choice make it a masterpiece of narrative storytelling A must-play if you want to feel something real.
I’m at a loss for words. This is the most heart-wrenching experience I’ve ever had in my life. I had a lump in my throat during the finale, and eventually, I just couldn't hold back the tears. It has left me completely emotionally wrecked. I need a long break to process this before I can even think about starting the second part.
