Life is Strange is a game of loss, discovery, love, mystery and time travel that will always have a place in my heart.

The writing, while coherent in telling a story, has moments in dialogue that you will either find endearing, or downright cringe; that is totally up to you. I found the way all the characters spoke was something that made me more attached to them and love them more.

Max is an excellent, and relatable protagonist. A total dork who simply wants to get by in life, struggling with the very human problem of friendships, relationships, and college politics; while trying to intervene against hate and abuse where she can, and using her power for what she truly believes is the right thing.

The story is harsh. The decisions you make will define the courses of people's lives, how they treat you, and who finds themselves victim to the self-same mystery you are trying to solve.

I love, and will always love this game. I'll never be able to express it well enough, but this is a good start.
