The soundtrack accompanies the gameplay perfectly and gives a "TV series" atmosphere like never seen before. No need for hires graphics here - this game is sneeking up on you and will hit you with it's love for atmosphere. - but only if you don't rush it!

Take it slow and you will fall in love with "Life Is Strange"

Amazing game overall. It plays exactly like telltale adventures, but actually very good.

Pros: Interesting story Amazing soundtracksAmazing game overall. It plays exactly like telltale adventures, but actually very good.

Pros:
Interesting story
Amazing soundtracks which is in harmony with overall mood of the game and main character
Maybe a little early to say, but seems like your choices actually matter. Unlike telltale games.
Artwork is amazing
Exteremely detailed game world, much like gone home, there are lots of stuff to explore

Cons:

Frankly, I absolutely love it. The premise, setting and characters are all fairly unique and interesting, definitely nothing I've seen done in a game previous to this. I'm genuinely excited to play the second episode now. Good job Squeenix.… Expand

Excellent music, great mood in general, graphically average but it's all about the story here, I believe the first episode costs only like 3quid so give it a chance if you fancy :)… Expand

Ok this game is good, no worries on that. But the story itself reminds me of something already seen. Donnie Darko to be straight.
Too manyOk this game is good, no worries on that. But the story itself reminds me of something already seen. Donnie Darko to be straight.
Too many similarities with that movie.
Also i didn't like much the fact that there is no real reaction when she discovers her "ability".

"Hey i can bend time! It's so normal!"

Even Hiro of tv series "Heroes" had a better reaction to that!

Poor writers.… Expand

But the owners Russian (and not only) Win7 x64 still can not even run the game without the "dancing with a tambourine," because when you start the game stupidly falls from an unknown error. Users certainly found a way to solve this problem, but paid for the game, and bought it yet to do something with its operating system to this miracle starts.
I do not know whose fault is it - the developer or tester, but in technical terms - it's a failure.
For "and so goes" technical execution of the game - "and so goes" my score - 2/10.… Expand
