- 148Apps8.0Even with a bunch of rough edges, Life is Strange manages to be super compelling. Although its primary plot points are typical teenage drama fare, there are great characters, quiet moments, and loads of little mechanical tricks to its gameplay that make it hard to put down.
Gamer reviews
Life is Strange
Moder adventure with main character is teenage girl returning to her hometown to study photography. The story switches between investigation of disapearences of your peers and complicated relations between troubled teenagers. What really makes this game special is the mechanism of rewinding that allows you to resolve puzzles in more untraditional ways.
I messed up with Time
I rarely play games with Narrative concepts like this. Upon searching the internet with the games with an amazing stories. Life is strange keeps on popping off the charts. I suddenly gave this a try. Honestly, at first, It's a cringe game for me due to the way how the game was designed and their bad voice acting. However, after finishing the first episode, my impression of this game changed, and played this in a different way as if my life really depends on it. I learned how to value the impacts of each choice. I can really say that this game indeed has one of the most amazing storylines ever. Max and Chloe's journey are so unique. It was fun yet it was too depressing as well. I chose the ending where I got to save Chloe and it turned out that majority of people who played it also did the same. What I really like about this game aside from its story is the soundtrack. Damn! Every scene will hit you right in the feels! kudos to those music arrangers and composers of this game. **VISUALS** *Artistry: 7/12* *Technical Merit: 5/8* **SOUND DESIGN** *Music: 12/12* *Sound Effects & Vocals: 6/8* **INTERACTION** *Control & Interface: 6/8* *Player Agency: 6/8* *Accessibility: 3/4* **MECHANICS** *Feedback & Fun: 7/10* *Depth: 3/5* *Variety: 3/5* **CHARACTER** *Narrative: 8/8* *Heart: 4/6* *Originality: 6/6*
