    Life is Strange (PC/PS4/XB1/PS3/360)

    From the developers of Remember Me
    Spoiler: show




    The next project from Remember Me developer Dontnod Entertainment is Life is Strange, a digitally-delivered “episodic narrative experience with a twist” published by Square Enix for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

    The game promises a “compelling, story-driven experience where choice and consequence play a key role” in the unfolding narrative. “But there’s a twist.”

    The story begins when senior student Max Caulfield returns to the fictional Oregon town of Arcadia Boy after a five year absence. She reunites with her former friend Chloe, and the pair attempt to uncover the truth behind the mysterious disappearance of fellow student Rachel Amber. But Max discovers she has the ability to rewind time, which allows the player to affect the game’s narrative and change its course of history.

    “Everybody at Dontnod is excited to be working on such a refreshing title” said Jean-Max Moris, Creative Director at Dontnod Entertainment. “We’re not only crafting the best game we possibly can, we also feel we’re providing the type of experience that perfectly fits today’s renewed taste for originality and diversity.”

    Remember me was rather mediocre but had great music. Not expecting much from this too. Choices and consequences my ass, every time.

    I must say I'm surprised by the pretty weak graphics. Not that much of a complaint really, just... surprised .

    I don't hate it. I'm getting a Telltale vibe off this.

    Barely started but I like it so far as a change of pace to Destiny / Dragon Age. Like reading a book where I have some input to see why my choice ruined everything

    I liked it a lot, I really dig these kind of games though. I like how there's so many thing to interact with and get feedback on. Yeah the lip synching isn't great and the graphics aren't the best, but I imagine their budget wasn't too big, and at $5 an episode (less if you get the season pass) I find it worth the money

    I'm a subtitle reader so the lip sync hasn't affected me at all. And yes, all the little interactions has made this a pretty enjoyable experience so far

    Lip Syncing aside I like it more than Walking Dead and such in a way - It has a bit..more to it so far.

    The episodic format of this game is going to be a huge cock tease for me. Very intriguing though. I like how on every dual-path decision you make, there's always doubt about whether you made the right decision. Feels like one of those games where you really need to think beyond the short-term result of your actions to avoid causing an undesired result.

    Game's kinda cheesy due to the setting being high school but I'm still interested in seeing where the journey takes me.

    This is exactly why it clicks more with me than Walking Dead. Yeah it's same premise, but at the same time the sense of doubt in WD can be immediately apparent give or take a few situations or nothing seen until a new season altogether. I also do like and hate the setting simply because no one talks like that (largely) in real life and usually on forums, but at the same time..it's definitely how current teenagers are.

    I'm genuinely shocked there isn't an overpriced iPad release of this yet considering this game is published by SE.

    Eh, 7 bucks for the whole thing?? I'll bite since I recently got into TWD and Wolf Among Us.

    Kind of dumb that you have to buy S1 and then seasons pass for 2-5. Seasons pass should be a total purchase of every episode.
