On the surface, Life is Strange plays like any other Telltale-style adventure game. You guide Max through all of this as she makes new relationships and attempts to find her place in the world.
Her relationships are not what they used to be, her friends have grown distant, and even the town itself seems to have a darkness about it, as missing persons posters and acts of school violence are becoming commonplace. Unfortunately, life has changed in the past five years, and the choices that Max and her friends have made will forever change her future. She recently has come back to her hometown of Arcadia, Oregon after a short time of living in Seattle, on a scholarship that allows her to attend an elite school for the arts. Max is a photography student who left town five years ago to pursue her career as an artist. Life is Strange follows the adventures of Maxine Caulfield. When it wins, it’s a fantastically artistic experience, but the struggle to show that artistic side can sometimes pull you out of the experience. Life is Strange seems to constantly be battling against its own concept. However, certain design choices both make the game more interesting and less compelling to play. It also tries very hard to give off an indie movie sort of vibe, telling a deeply personal story of a high schooler, reflecting on her choices as she makes her way through life.
It's best described as a cinematic game following in the traditions of Heavy Rain and The Walking Dead. Life is Strange is the newest offering from RPG giant Square-Enix and Dontnod, the development studio that brought us Remember Me.
