Re-Examining Life is Strange Three Years Later

Life is Strange received critical acclaim and commercial success when it debuted in 2015. But three years later, and with the release of a prequel, does the game still hold up?

As much as I despise 'writers' who stoop to the level of farming for passion-turned-engagement I just had to comment on this game (and, in turn this article). Primarily, because it has been drifting through my mind as of late.

Quite simply: The atmosphere created and maintained by Life is Strange's thematic believability and interactive game dynamics is a thing of permanence. Very, very few titles have drew me and and kept me engaged on such a deep level. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to complete the game—as the revelation regarding Rachel Amber's disappearance was simply too tragic for my taste. The whole deranged-teacher plot twist was bad enough. Maybe if she was simply locked away in the bunker, or buried in a coffin, still alive, I wouldn't have been so traumatized and been able to finish.

In any case, obviously, this game will stand the test of time. One hundred years from now this game will still find its way onto scteens, (holographic, virtual, internally projected or otherwise).

Writers: Apply yourselves to a topic less obvious and more apt to finding equal sized, alternate supporting sides.

I finally played through Life is Strange a couple weeks ago, and I loved it. My Wife insisted I only play while she was there to watch. I now plan on playing Before the Storm. I'm sure the same rule will apply.

Slightly off topic, I played What Remains of Edith Finch the day after I finished Life is Strange. I highly recommend it. A truly fantastic game.

This studio might be spreading themselves too thin.

It's probably the same game broken into 5 episodes or just repurposed for each story.

something isn't right with the balance of the force in the game industry
it won't be the crash of 1983 - but there will be some sort of reset !

I found all LiS games to be very good.

Especially the first and True Colors.

Before the storm was also amazing as it tied up the story with 1 in a great way and mae you invested with previously unknown character.

I think LiS 2 was the weakest in the series but still a very good game

The game is a good game I enjoyed the first game I double platinumed it on PS3 and PS4. And Life is Strange Before the Storm I also enjoyed if it was on PS3 I would have bought it again because I enjoyed it. Life is Strange 2 for some reason I just can't get into it. And the newer Life is Strange game I have yet to play it.

This game was quite the experience. I had no idea it was this popular.
