Life Is Strange's Final Episode Is Out Now

Really liked the first episode and haven't touched it since, until this week when I caved and caught up. Despite a lot of things going against the game (including the voice actress, the dialog, the cloying trigger warning/referral on the menu screen), it was pretty great as far as interactive fiction (with a few slight game-ish elements) goes.

Until the very final minute. What a fucking "cover all our bases" let-down. I felt like my choices ultimately meant nothing for the ten hours leading up to the Deus Ex / Mass Effect 3 finale.

Up until that point, I was thinking that anyone who made a top ten list without having played the game would be doing a disservice to the GOTY thing . . . but that very final bit just felt so mechanically unsatisfying that it really tripped off that high spot on the podium that it was about to claim.
