The importance of a good story
I think for a good game the story is just as important as the gameplay, but sometimes it can actually be the most important aspect of a game. Life Is Strange is one of those games where you really get immersed into the main character's lives and it is easy to dive into the world of Arcadia Bay.Max moves back to her hometown after a couple of years, where she reunites with her childhood friend Chloe and suddenly gains the power to reverse time at any moment.
Life Is Strange was developed by Dontnod Entertainment and released in 2015 for most platforms.
Max and Chloe
For me the best part about this game was the relationship between Max and Chloe, i don't wanna get into spoilers here, but there was something really genuine and heartwarming about it. For a story based game it is really important to have good and believable characters and Life Is Strange has fantastic ones at it's core and also plenty of interesting side characters.Carefully observing the environment
It is really fun to just walk around, check out the environment and have interesting conversations with the people there. That means if you are into that kind of game, if you like fast paced action games it can become boring pretty quickly. But i was absolutely enjoying every moment of it (well, maybe besides collecting glass bottles on a trash yard...).Limited choices
The function to reverse time was also very interesting and gave you the possibility to check out various options to progress the game, before deciding what you like best. Unfortunately i feel like your choices ultimately didn't have that much impact on the storyline overall. I think that is also my biggest complaint, but it was still interesting enough and at least gave you the opportunity to control some parts of the game.Great soundtrack
The game also has a really fantastic soundtrack. All of the songs really match the mood of the game perfectly and make it that much better. There were also some old favorites of mine, like 'Lua' by Bright Eyes.Bottom line
I think Life Is Strange is an excellent game with very likable characters, an interesting story and innovative gameplay. I just hope next time the choices we make can have a bigger impact on the storyline overall.But even though, it has become one of my favorite games and I'm looking forward to more of this series.
