meh game play and visuals but the story was ass if your going to make me play as a character that looks like a guy make me play as a guy just adding trans and supernatural powers does not make a game good it feels forced no wonder this game is mostly free
Achei que era um daqueles jogos de escolhas que tudo poderia dar errado com escolhas ruins, mas é só um jogo gay

I love this game and see Tyler as very good rep! I enjoy the mystery and story and the life is strange vibes to me it is in the universe!
I like it, this has nothing to do with the game exactly but just in general with life is strange is yes it’s a walking simulator. It’s going to happen. I’m used to it. I’m not going to review it poorly just because oh you have to walk around or oh. You have to pay attention to a puzzle to be able to figure it out. I think the stories neat so far while I’m only in episode 2 (I think?) I find it to be very good I like the fact of because they’re twins they can actually hear each other‘s minds, which is really neat. I don’t know where the hell Tyler got his ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ memory, flashback powers from but hey I like it it’s neat
Ja klar, wir brauchen ein Spiel über Transgender...obwohl das für die Story in dem Sinne irrelevant ist. Abgesehen davon ist die Story echt lahm und die Steuerung echt anstrengend.
woke slop, don't even add this to your account when it goes free every 3 months
Gra w porządku, występują lagi, ale jeśli chcecie coś fabularnego i za darmo (bo co jakiś czas widzę, że wchodzi za darmo powtarzalnie) to spróbujcie. Dla mnie akurat fabuła nudna, w większości było chodzenie i same dialogi, więc nie dograłam gry do końca chociaż się starałam.
Eu sempre amei jogos de narrativa/escolhas, e esse estava na minha lista tinha um tempo. Por mais que não tenha se tornado o meu favorito nesse estilo, foi uma historia que me envolveu do começo ao fim e me fez refletir sobre varias questões que são abordadas, seja de forma explicita ou não. Recomendo para todos que gostam desse estilo, um jogo bem mais profundo do que parece. "As vezes, crescer não significa descobrir toda a verdade. Significa aceitar que algumas respostas nunca existirão."
