TL:DNR -
Pretty game, pretty music, wonderfully diverse and inclusive casting, appropriate for those who like cozy gaming, not as much tension as the other games in the franchise. Not a heck of a lot to do - would recommend buying it on sale.

Longer version:

MAJOR props for graphics and soundtrack. The developers never really seems to go wrong when it comes to great music for their games. The story was interesting, though it did slow down a bit through the 4th and 5th chapters. Considering the storyline (which I will not spoil) there was a lot that could have been included to make the game far more interesting. It does lack the depth of the original Life is Strange game but it made a good effort.

As mentioned in another review, the story and gameplay would absolutely benefit from Alex's powers being far more dynamic - it was definitely missing the negative affects of being tapped into, a la Max from LiS1. Having some sort of consequence built into the game (other than what did happen to Alex) would have been far better. It had a promising start when we first see it occur but then... not so much each and every time afterwards. There was also so much more potential story with various situations and characters throughout the game. At times it does feel like it's just leading you toward the end of the story for it's own sake, rather than discovering it for yourself.

On the whole... a nice few hours of narrative gameplay. I'd rate it a 3.5/5.
