If you like the Life is Strange Franchise, this is a nice and different take on a young woman’s journey. Lots of twists, knowledge and character back story. Game is paced enough to get the full story as well as build relationships with the characters. No game play is ever the same.
10/10
A beautiful game with great characters and story and as in true life is strange fashion the music is absolutely spot on if you enjoy the the others you’ll love this
Honestly this is probably the best game I’ve ever played. Both dramatic and emotional at the same time. It really knows how to play with your emotions. No other way to put it than go get this now. You will not regret i
Think it could have had one or two more chapters. Other wise, it’s a great game.
This was bought as a gift for Christmas as I was intrigued by the series. I went straight to the third one of the series but will prob go back and get the others for completion. At time of review it costs 29.99, the game is rather short but it makes up for it in graphics and the narrative storyline. What makes the game stand out for me is the outstanding selection of music within the game.
You play as Alex Chen, a young woman with a troubled childhood who comes to the fictional mining town of Haven Springs, Colorado to live with her brother Gabe. After a mysterious accident, Alex uses her supernatural empathic abilities to bring the town’s secrets to the surface. This is done by her reading their auras which are coloured differently for each emotion.
During play it’s obvious the residents genuinely care about each other and you can’t help but feel a part of the town.
Some information is gleaned from Alex’s phone, which shares details of her relationships with her friends, some text messages, you can also check out MyBlock, where the town share local updates.
You get really invested in the townsfolk you meet and become genuinely concerned for their well being. However, it does feel a little strange invading their privacy to garner information that can help you.
The narrative aspect to the game is a step away from the usual fighting and action gameplay I’m used to but I did enjoy it. The story flows well and the actions you take and the decisions you make can alter the game play.
I found it very enjoyable, think of it as a mystery game where you have to look for clues. If this doesn’t sound like your type of game give it a miss, if you like exploring and interacting more than fighting then this game is definitely for you.
I love narrative-driven, decision-based games (if you haven’t played Detroit: Become Human it’s an absolute must). So the Life is Strange series are must-plays for me.
The first was awesome; a great story, loads of important and very difficult decisions and likeable characters. I didn’t like a single character in 2, the story bored me and I didn’t finish it.
This one sits comfortably between the two. I liked most of the characters, the story was compelling and there were some very fun parts (the LARP was great). But there didn’t seem to be too many important decisions to make, I gathered almost all of the secrets in my first play through and it felt very short.
Decent, but I’m glad it was a gift and I didn’t pay full price for it.
Love the life is Strange series and this is a great addition. Really fun concept and enjoyed.
I love this game I’ve already completed it but I’m going to restart it and choose better choices but I think it’s the best game I’ve played in awhile recommend
This entire series of games are all supper fun and interesting. I especially like how they overlap the stories from each game and you get to make choices that ultimately affect the outcome. Then you can compare those choices to friends who have played to see how your choices differ from others and compare your choices to the world to see how their choices differ from yours and the overall outcome in reference of those choices. The graphics are also great and the game in general is just superior in quality and I look foreword to more games coming out. You don’t have to play them in order but it helps to start with the original because you will see glimpses of characters from previous stories in subsequent games. Overall this game gets a 10/10 and 5 stars from me.
Since my order everything better than I could expect. So fast delivery.great customer service. Highly recommend
ot your usual run of the mill games. slow paced and a nice change from the usual RPG or shooter, found it quite enjoyable.
I really enjoyed this story. I’m completely in love with the Life Is Strange series, so I knew that I was in for a treat. I don’t want to say anything about the story, because spoilersbut I will say it was 10/10, but my issue was how short the game is for the price I paid. I had it done in 8 hours, and then went back to trophy hunt which only added another hour to the experience. Far too short for the original price.
The 2nd LiS was absolute poor garbage. True colours has restored my faith in the lis games. Alex is a very likable character and her Empathy power is interesting.
I just wish the game was longer.
Loved the characters, interactions and settings of this installment. You get to feel a real connection which may be due to the characters being slightly older this time. Probably my favourite game in the series so far. However, the overall storyline didn’t quite have the same momentum and intrigue as the original and felt a little short.
The gameplay is more refined, Haven Springs is a smaller town compared to Arcadia Bay but so much more detailed and the soundtrack is second to none. Alex is such a great protagonist as well and I actually cared about this person so much.
It feels shorter compared to other LiS games but maybe it’s because it’s all one game and not episodic which is so much better as you don’t have to wait a few months between episodes being available to play.
It alters the gameplay in various chapters to keep everything fresh and the hardhitting story matter is balanced with fun and lighthearted segments and the occasional turned based RPG thrown in for good measure.
I cannot reccomend this game enough, you don’t need to play any of the previous titles so jump right in and fall in love with Alex Chen.
P.S Team Steph for life
