Life is Strange is a choice based game where you have the power to go back in time, pretty cool eh? Yes it is, but that is not what makes Life is Strange great. What really makes the game shine is the characters, the beautiful visuals, and a heartbreaking story.
The story takes place in Arcadia Bay, and it's quite literally breathtaking. The environment feels so immersive you'd wish you were actually living there yourself. Well kinda.
The game revolves around Max and Chloe, which are long time best friends. Max is reserved, shy and well, has a superpower. She can reverse time! Chloe is a rebelious dropout with a heart of gold. Together they're trying to stop a hurricane who's threatining to wipe out Arcadia Bay and everyone who lives there. But that's not it, they also have to solve the mystery of what happened to Chloe's friend Rachel Amber, who disappeared one year earlier. There's also a bunch of other stuff going on in Arcadia Bay, but it's all told in such an amazing way that you'll be longing for more when it's all done.
Life is Strange ties story, characters, visuals and ambient music into the perfect package. It's emotional, well written and relevant on so many levels. I've played a lot of story driven games, and I can honestly say that Life is Strange is one of the best one's out there. Please, do yourself a favor and play it.
