Excellent Time Traveling Adventure
5 Stars
Excellent Time Traveling Adventure
If you ever watch films like Donny Darko or The Butterfly Effect, this game has the same theme of how constant time traveling is not what it's cracked up to be as despite the fact that you try to do right in the world; there's a balance in the universe and your selfish decisions to improve your and/or those close to you well-being or happiness may lead to misfortunes for others. Instead of a passive experience, you are able to interact with the story and make your own decisions on how parts of the story plays out.Gameplay is similar to the Tell Tale Series Games, Until Dawn or Heavy Rain/Beyond Two Souls. It's a choose your own adventure game where your decision impact future events by dialogue choices or actions you decided to do within the game. Unlike the games mentioned, Life is Strange does not have any Quick-Timed-Events (QTE) where you have to press a prompted button within a certain time frame. Instead it's more heavy on dialogue choices, and time manipulation where you rewind time to solve puzzles/ get through obstacles.Like other games in the genre, your choices does not impact the ending much as the game has only 2 endings, which is pretty typical for these type of games. Highest I've seen/played had 3 max. Your choices does lead to different dialogue choices later in the story, and may make you feel guilty about your decision as the outcome is presented to you. Most of the time there's no right/wrong or perfect scenario as there are consequences for you actions as it impact different characters and events in the story differently. There's a sense of loss and sacrifice within each choice, even with a loss there may be a silver lining that comes from it.Graphics are pretty decent. It doesn't go for ultra realism like Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls and doesn't go too cartoony/cell shaded like the TellTale series of games. I'd say it makes good balance between the two (just need work on the hair graphics). Good artistic vision in the game and a lot of details in the world design.Voice acting is very good. All voice actors comes out as natural and not read out from a script. Soundtrack is also amazingPSN trophies. Easy platinum as you just have to collect optional photo shoots throughout the game as well as finish the game to completion. The in-game journal gives you hints on how to find each photo shoot for each trophy. You can also search for online guides if you are stuck. There is a replay feature so if you skip one, you don't have go through another entire playthrough of the game.The game will last you 15-20 hours long depending on how much you're willing to explore the world and/or collect optional photo shoots for trophies. I'd say this game is a definite pick up for those who like the time traveling theme.
