Life Is Strange

NO SPOILER REVIEW -THIS REVIEW HAS NO SPOILERS WHATSOEVER..MAYBE JUST ONE. SO PLEASE Don't READ THIS IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE SUMMARY OF THE STORY.

Alright i must admit 10/10 in rather generous for anything in life because nothing in life is perfect..But it is perfect when you accept it the way it is.. Here is a strange review for a strange game with a strange story. This might be the lesson hidden in this whole game that you can never make life perfect. You got to do what you can in strange situations and learn to live with it. Life is indeed strange. That i am writing a review for a game at 4:20 am . For a game i never thought i would play.The strangest this is i got this game as a gift and never bothered playing it till October the 19th 2015... And i couldn't stop playing till it reached chapter 5 which wasn't out yet. And to my uttermost surprise the 5th chapter came out on October the 20th. i didn't know this and it was incredible shear coincidence..Life is strange. Now for the review lol

Who is this game for ? Life is Strange is a great game for people who like a good story . And also people who like college drama and Sci -fi and philosophy and photography.

How is the Graphics ?

There are many scenes in the game were the places are so artistically created that you just sit and stare at it. Even though this is not a fantasy game. It does have a lot of beauty in it.Like the flag on the curtain of a certain someone in the game and how light streams through it. The engine does give wonderful visuals. Even though the visuals are not photo-real (no pun intended ) and has a style of its own. It still holds its ground visually.

How is the Story Voice over and acting?

The story voice over and acting for this game is really good. I like how you can kind of read the emotions of peoples faces and body language. Even when you are not talking to them this adds a lot of be-livability to the game .And you get a seance of life in a high school (unlike any one i have been to ) . So its refreshing and a familiar sight for you American folks out there :-).

Is it worth buying ?

I think this would be a great time to buy the game as all episodes are out and you can enjoy the whole story

Will it run on my computer ?

Aha ! this is something everyone likes to ask and i must say it should run on most computers. I am using a laptop with a geforce 2 and the game ran at medium detail in full HD resolution .

One advice for someone starting the game ?

Plants don't usually need a lot of water. all the time.

Pros:

• Great story & characters
• Sense of realism
• Challenging choices
• Some great plot twists
• Interesting Time warp game mechanic
• Graphics are pretty decent

Cons:

• Some slow and mundane parts
• Few bugs and glitches

Verdict: Great coming of age story with great believable characters and realistic events. Good game.

8/10.

From visuals to gameplay to voice acting to story. A pure M A S T E R P I E C E

The game itself isn't brilliant. There isn't an awful lot to do where game play is concerned. But obviously this is what Square Enix intended. The camera can be a little awkward at times which could of been easily fixed with the option to view the game in first person.

"Hang on.. You rated this game 10!?"

Yes I did, And here's why....

If there's an area where Square Enix shine it's their ability to tell an incredible story. And hot diggity dayum do they tell this story! Along with it's amazing soundtrack, the story is sensational. I think I've gone through every possible human emotion going through this masterpiece. I wish I was good enough with words to describe just how much I LOVED going through this game.

Greetings from Lithuania.

To be honest, first i didn't expected much from "Life Is Strange" (2015) after i picked this on my PS4 just recently. I thought it will be OK flick, without much "action". After finishing all 5 episodes i can safely say - this has to be one of the most unforgettable experiences I've ever had while playing video games. "Life Is Strange" is an amazing experience.

The story here in a first place is nothing short like amazing. While playing this game i felt like i was watching a great movie in which i could make a decisions. The decisions that later in a game brought me to tears...

Writing, voice acting, music and storytelling are all first rate - they are more then wonderful. The story itself was so amazing, so involving that i kinda needed to play next episodes ASAP after finishing previous. Graphics were very good and controls were superb as well, although this is a heavy story based game so there isn't really A LOT of game play, but there is more then enough.

Overall, i can't praise this game enough. It caught me totally by surprise of how involving and genuinely emotional this game is - there were small tears more then once in my eyes and i honestly can't remember that this would ever have happen in a video games before - and i'm a 31 years old guy. Please do your self a favor and play this small masterpiece - it is an absolutely amazing experience one that i will never forget.
