Has anyone else played this one?
I’ve played through the first four episodes this week while I’m on vacation, and I don’t think the writing in a game has punched me in the gut to this extent since Bioshock or Dragon Age: Origins. (Though Detroit: Become Human is a close equivalent.)
I’m just blown away by the writing.
Are we talking about the original Life is Strange? The thumbnail shows the newest game, Reunion, but I’ll assume that’s their website being dumb and we’re talking about the original. I absolutely loved it when I played it years ago, and I loved the way it made me feel powerless when my powers suddenly didn’t work. Like with Kate… I didn’t pay attention to or help her the first time I played, and I eventually replayed the game just to change that. If you haven’t played chapter 5 yet, you’re in for a treat.
I want to play through it again and 100% it at some point. Though to be honest, idk if that will ever happen, I suck at finishing new games let alone ones I already know the ending to. Maybe I’ll give the remastered version a shot or something. There’s several other games in the series, and aside from True Colors and Reunion, which I have not played, I enjoyed them all to some extent, though not as much as the original.
The link is to the square enix LiS page, but yes, talking about the first one. (Didn’t link to the Wikipedia or anything else in order to avoid any spoilers.)
It blew my mind.
