Even turning on the sprinkler to spray the mean clique of girls with water stops being fun after the fifth attempt when you still don't know how to progress. While this is the primary mechanic, too often the number of times you have to replay a given zone becomes wearing. You never know exactly what you have to do on your first attempt in any given scenario, and thus find yourself constantly rewinding to try again despite the visual cues designed to help. In part this is because Life is Strange suffers from the old adventure game problem of having to battle the designer’s frequently impenetrable logic. Its no surprise that the game hangs so much on its story and characters as, in isolation, the puzzling gameplay would feel empty. Max is a particularly good example, with her running narration of events feeling believable even in the surreal situations the game places her. This helps you relate to each of the teenagers (with some being quite likable and other being total jerks), a connection aided by nice vocal performances and an expressive art style. The success of this is down to the focus Dontnod's writers have clearly given their work. Fortunately, each element is handled with the care and attention it deserve. With high quality graphics that have transferred equally well to small screens from their larger originals, this free demo version includes the first episode only, of course.With so many themes, it would be easy for them to feel scatter shot and throwaway. Thanks to Chloe, you'll discover the deepest secrets shrouded in the mystery of Arcadia Bay (Chloe and Maxine's hometown), but best of all, you'll discover the ins-and-outs of their lifelong friendship.Īs far as graphic adventures go, Life is Strange truly is noteworthy, and comes as a welcome release on Android after its triumph on PCs and consoles. At any point you can always go back and explore alternative routes and storylines within the game.ĭespite the fact that Maxine's time traveling gift is one of the main narrative arches in Life is Strange, the central axis of the whole story revolves around her childhood best friend, Chloe. The main appeal is that you can go back in time to rewind and fix any poor decision making of the past, and thereby rectifying your mistakes to make better choices. Game systems in Life is Strange are practically identical to any of the other titles by Telltale Games. Follow along as you take on the life of the talented young Maxine, a high school student who's recently discovered her budding superpower: going back in time to change the course of events.
