Game review: Life is Strange

This blog post has SPOILERS about the game Life is Strange!

 

At first I didn't understand why I didn't like the game Life is Strange. At the very beginning of the game, it was annoying that you have to play the same boring parts many times. But little did I know, you really have to relive that first school lesson a million times, and the last time even Max commented that this must be hell. But in the end, my dislike for the game was probably because of the fact that I just really didn't want to go back to school to be bullied, and be surrounded by terrible people.

Life is strange tells the story of Max, a high school student, who unexpectedly discovers that she can travel back in time. With her new superpower, Max saves her best friend Chloe from death. Changing the past is always a particularly good idea, isn't it? And time travel is healthy?

 

Who is the murderer in Life is Strange?

The only reason I even wanted to make a short blog post about this game is because of this picture below. Or at least that scene in the last chapter of the game. Photography teacher Mr. Jefferson was the only sympathetic character in the whole game. All the others were mean bitches, or just criminals and lazy losers (Chloe). I don't know what my reaction would have been if I hadn't read the spoilers. Of course I replied to Mr Jefferson that I love him. It would have been wonderful to live in his darkroom forever. "I hope you don't mind needles or duct tape."

 

The endings of Life is Strange

 

In the end I of course sacrificed Chloe, because that person was supposed to die that week. That happened even in other realities. In that second ending/option, how many cities and how many people would Max have had to sacrifice before she would realize that Chloe simply can't, and shouldn't be saved.
