Forums > Submission Feedback > EmP's Life is Strange review

I really need to go back and finish this game. I played through the first episode when it was first released and thought it was fantastic, then I bought the season pass and it has since been passively updating itself and growing in size on my hard drive. I just keep forgetting to get back into it.

I may also a bit reluctant to jump back in, too, because the choices that I made in the first chapter essentially screwed Max over in every aspect of her life. By the end of it she had basically no friends, a crop of new enemies and her educational prospects had been completely ruined. I was like: "Aw man, do I really have to sort out this mess?"

Which I suppose is a tribute to its storytelling; I empathized a lot with Max, and this game is immersive enough that I cringed at the thought of what would come next. It also doesn't hurt that a lot of the themes of this game really hit home for me, as I was also a weird kid who attended art college and took photography courses.

Anyway, great review. Thanks for not spoiling too much!

placid like acid

I landed a copy of the first Episode whilst acquiring Square RPGs - naturally through Humble Bundle, and this review actually helps me along in my decision about playing it.

Thank you.

Look, the only time I'm not wrong is when I'm right, so...

Thanks, guys, I was kind of vague throughout this one because settling on anything definite for more then a second came with the impending threat of spoilers. Seriously, as someone who spends too much time online, I have no idea how I managed to dodge some of the plot points for as long as I did; I certainly didn't want to become that guy by proxy.

LiS has some issues (including, fair warning, a very poor stealth section shoehorned in at the end for exactly no sensible reason other the to have an obligatory and awful stealth section) but I'm glad I finally got around to playing it. Thanks, both, for reading.

For us. For them. For you.
