Im not so sure with everyone else who played this game, but this game was such a nightmare and a roller coaster to play at the same time. Everything just happened to quickly and stuff that happens to Alex Chen (the protagonist) is so relatable. I really enjoyed this game just as much as the other Life Is Strange games.

This one sort of had a lot more interaction with the community than with any other of their previous titles. This also had a much larger area to roam around compared to their past titles and their DLC is like a full game, but also somewhat teases their next title.

DLC SPOILER
The DLC is almost like a full game. Not to spoil anything, but it does ask if you have played the first one with Max and if you saved or destroyed Arcadia Bay. Then sometime after the first few seasons pass, Steph makes a reference to Arcadia Bay and Amber. I've tried to look into the back story and i dont ever recall a "Steph" in the previous titles other than a connection to Blackwell Academy.. and that well.. Steph somewhat also has a connection with Seattle in some way shape or form...

Couple of things that stands out:
Why do you have to reach your hand out someone to read their emotions?
I think pauses in conversation can be powerful, but its too long sometimes for a normal interaction.
I hate Ethan.
Yay for Asian representation.

Overall, I enjoyed the game, the LARP was kind of a curve ball and the mini games did help break up the pace and tension. It could be something you can play for a second time for a different outcome and if youre the type to hunt for achievements, just like the previous titles, you can easily go back into their chapters and get what youre missing to get 100% in the game.
