Life Is Strange

werupenstein's Life Is Strange: Episode One (PC) review

Great original story

How strange that I thought the story was great, yet I hated pretty much every character in it; I'm just so disconnected from the teen life and it's shocking how hard that hit me playing this.

If you've played a recent Telltale game, you know what to expect mechanically from this game. The choices seems a lot more impactful in this game though, some of the choices I made had major impact on the ongoing game going forward, it really felt crazy some of the things that happened and how much they impacted the story, I may play the game again to see how much things change.

Some major twists and hard decisions really made this game a step above.

I didn't think the art was up to snuff, I wasn't expecting Remember Me quality but there were some really bad character models/details in the game, wow that dog looked terrible.

Starts well, meanders through the middle, and finishes very strong, episode 5 was a crazy trip, loved it.
