When I first started playing Life is Strange, I found the story weird and I was unsure if I would enjoy it. As I played on, however, the story became more compelling and I couldn’t deny how interesting it was.
The concept of the main character having the ability to reverse time is a really intriguing idea that I think was executed in a cool way. I think that being able to change your mind on where the story is going is cool and gives you the opportunity to see how people react before giving your final decision. The concept of time travelling/time manipulation in any story is always interesting and I think that being able to use it in a story like this is really enjoyable.
The story itself was really interesting and there was never a moment where I wasn’t interesting. Well, maybe at first I was a little bored, but it pulled me in quite quickly. I think that the way the story is told, by hearing Max’s thoughts and feelings on whatever is happening in the world around her makes it feel as if you’re actually the one experiencing the events.
I think that Max is a superhero, even if she’s simply a troubled girl trying to find her place. I think that, by having Max as the character with the life-altering powers, it gives her a chance to find a purpose in a life that she’s just sort of going through the motions in. I really enjoyed this game and I think that I would enjoy seeing more games like this one.
