A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game.

Not sure how I got the idea, but somehow I ended up searching for Life is Strange on Steam, noticed the first episode (of the original) was free and installed it.

Yesterday I finally played episode 1 and immediately bought the other 4 episodes after.

According to my steam achievement, I actually played Life is Strange for 40 minutes back in 2016, though I didn't stick with it back then.
Looking back, I'd say I was definitely in the wrong age group back then to enjoy and relate to the story properly.
Now I really enjoy the characters and I'm interested to experience the rest of the story. Might make another post when I finished it :)

It's definitely one of those that can take a little while to click with the player. I had the advantage of being deeply interested in the setting. It made me miss living in Oregon so, so much. Aside from that, I really came to like the characters by the end of the original game and Before the Storm.

I've continued to enjoy the series--yes, even the newest one--aside from LiS 2, which felt like misery porn after a while. That said, all of the games excel at getting the quiet moments right, and it's worth taking a moment to pause when the game offers the chance.
