Ich mag die Life is Strange-Teile, doch dieser ist meiner Meinung der Beste. Es geht einzig und allein um Emotionen, Verlust und ein Zuhause finden wollen. Es hat mich abgeholt und emotional sehr mitgenommen. Diesen Teil kann ich nur empfehlen.
XD
很一般,甚至有点无聊
Much more lighthearted compared to the emotions and trauma from the earlier games. This is a fun story with cool characters and a beautiful setting. Definitely not long enough for a $60 price tag, so be sure to get this during a sale
Esse jogo é uma obra de arte. Sou fã de longa data da franquia e digo, é quase tão bom quando o primeiro. Muito bem escrita a história / trilha sonora. O gráfico cartunesco deixa o jogo tão especial, já dizia o Edu, a direção de arte desse jogo é incrível. Poderia ter durado mais tempinho. Zerei primeiramente pirata e tive agora a oportunidade de comprá-lo e zerei pela segunda vez em 13 hrs. Super recomendo
LIS serisine çok güzel bir bakış açısı kazandıran, farklı hissettiren bir hikayeye sahip oyun. Yer yer güldüren, çoğunlukla hüzünlendiren bir oyun. En sevdiğim bölüm şüphesiz 3. bölüm oldu. Oyunun tarzı değişti resmen tek bölümlük de olsa. Tavsiye ederim. 8/10
-- SPOILERS AHEAD -- This is the first game I'm writing a review about, so here goes. I think it's a solid 8/10. At the end of Chapter 4 I thought it felt a bit too similar to the first game (story-wise), same goes for the "nightmare event" in Chapter 5, sorf of feels like copying the first LiS, but the Chen twist at the end caught me by surprise! I think this is the game (out od the first 3) with the best side characters, all of the town folk actually feel like real people, with real problems, wishes, hopes and doubts, much better than the first two games in my opinion. I like Alex, although her character feels a bit inconsistent at times. She's the first main character in the series who's already "screwed up" and I wish we got in depth backstory of how she got her power, but oh well. Haven is great, feels like a real homey place and very beautiful. So yeah, that's about it. Definitely worth playing (take it form a guy who loved the first two games and was still sceptical), just give it a try!
I replayed this after 5 years, and is still one of my favorite story/adventure games. Such a unique take on an empathy mechanic, and the game felt so cozy and the pacing was on point (except for the fact that 2 chapters took place in the same day WHAT IT DID NOT FEEL LIKE IT?!). Hit me in the feelings, soulstalgia is real, Alex is so relatable, great game.
A great game. I recommend that everyone plays this.
so to be completely honest i didnt go into this unbiased or without any knowledge i went into this game having heard so much bad so much "its just not life is strange" or "the writing is so bad" or whatever and honestly my own opinion is give it a try i just finished the game and i dont want to talk about it. i dont want to tell you whats great tell you what to do. i found the game and the cozy town it takes place in amazing and thrilling at times i found the writing funny and interactive i found myself falling in love with the game not hating it or comparing it 2 days, 9 hours total, 4.5 hours of playtime for both days hella good game for both aswell i give this game a good 8/10 people are right its not the same its something else its another adventure which is what makes the game as good as it is
