Wonderful Distraction

Just what I needed in these crazy times to distract myself when feeling stressed by the state of the world. It was a nice balance between something like Second Life or Animal Crossing which is way too involved for me with a whole social network and economy and something dull like The Sims with no plot or real engagement. You get some choice in the story while still being taken on a journey. The graphics are beautiful! I'm not big into games so maybe its normal, but I thought the attention to detail was incredible. I could see it being boring or silly to some people who like a faster pace and more mature characters. I was excited that you could do all sorts of things, sometimes mundane or unimportant like turn on music or take an unneccessary photo, other times integral to the plot. I was also happy the story and characters had a little edge and darkness. Was like a game version of an intriguing YA novel. Not to say adults cant enjoy it. Im in my early 30s. Hope to discover more games like this!

Mixed Review. Caution: Contains spoilers

I really liked this game in the beginning. The music, atmosphere, characters, and mysteries are very compelling. I liked the camera games. Max’s powers are fun in every way, and so I didn’t like the message in the last episode that the cost of using her powers had to lead to death or destruction. Shame, fear and depression dominated the ending, leaving a bad aftertaste. The game was addictive and exciting and I was very caught up in it, but it went from a charming story about friendships and growing up to a dark place where I hated to see the story go. I don’t think the many choices I made changed major things in the plot- just minor ones. I was disappointed in the end. I’m middle-aged, and so it was a treat to get to play an 18 year old. It brought up some good memories from that time of my life. At first it was strange, and then it became fun and nostalgic. I will give this review 4 because it was a highly creative, original, and captivating experience, but in some ways, it deserves a 3. There needed to be at least one way to avoid the dark outcomes for it to have been a 4. I want to add that for people who have experienced sexual abuse, hiding in the dark from someone with a flashlight is a difficult thing to endure just to get through to the ending. I think the game needs a trigger warning of some kind. I read several reviews where PTSD was triggered.

EDIT: JOURNAL WORKAROUND!!!The game is Five Star, but journal error makes unplayable

My original review will stay because the game still needs to fix the issue; however in the interim I found a workaround that someone suggested on Reddit. If you go into your display settings in the IOS settings app and change to zoomed, then you will be able to at least exit the journal, the screen is not perfect, but especially for those like me who have played the game on an older iOS device or have already paid for the game, this will make it playable. But it is not perfect and this issue very much needs to be addressed! First off, this game is absolutely beautiful! The choices have a real impact on the people around you and how people think about you and interact with you. I picked this up years later After my friend recommended it, and can B only regret I did not play it sooner. However, I originally played this on iPhone 7, and it worked wonderfully, but now I went to play again in my iPhone 13, and have the Same error as many others in that the journal cannot be excited or properly navigate. This is making the game unplayable, and now I’m sad. :(

Almost Perfect... Almost

This game is beautifully written and put together in a very good way. So far, I’ve only played episode 1, and I’ve had no technical issues or glitches. The character development is perfect, and the visuals and story are breathtaking. I love how your decisions affect the game, and even the music is great. The game is overall amazing, and I plan to buy the whole thing on PC if that’s possible. So why is this a three star rating? The game is filled with so many curse words and vulgar speech that I can hardly breathe. Maybe saying stuff like that is more “normal”, or “in style”, but some people don’t want to hear that garbage. You lose more players from putting it in there than if not, so why do it in the first place? If there was even an option to turn of the strong and pretty much constant foul language, the game would be, by all means, perfect. It almost hurts not to give such an amazing game a five star rating, but I just can’t stand that gaming companies are always making stupid decisions like these. Could you be bothered to add an option to turn it off? Other games pull it off. Pretty sure you could too if you cared. (Not that you’re ever going to read this review, given that this game is made by big-name companies and typically they don’t want to/don’t have time to read the reviews, but I decided it would be a fair warning to anybody who wants to get this game.)

Not Compatible with iPhone XR (FIXED)

I was really enjoying this game until I was unable to exit the journal.. I have seen some of the other reviews of other people with the newest iPhones, can not exit the journal. From looking at the dates from some of the comments, I figured that the developers would have done something to fix this issue by now.. OR at least made some sort of announcement that they were working on it. This is a really fun and unique game and I enjoyed playing, what little bit I could, but if I can’t even get out of the journal to proceed with the game, then there really isn’t any reason to keep the app on my device anymore. It’s a little sad and disappointing... Maybe the developers can fix it at some point and I will re-download, but they are going to lose a lot of potential customers with all the new iPhone users that can not play the game.Update:Thank you so much for addressing this issue.. I really enjoyed playing the game. I have changed my “2 stars” to 5! Thanks again

Great Game, but I got stuck in Episode 2 due to bug

I purchased all episodes and I got stuck in Episode 2 after Max took the shower, listened to the conversation of Victoria and her friends and then needed to get back to her room to get dressed and pick up Kate‘s book. My problem is that I am unable to enter Max‘s room. The room is not activated. It does not show that it is Max‘s room (no white arrow saying „Max“) and there is no function to open the room. It looks like an inactive graphic. It is definitely Max’s room (room 219 with the white board saying „Max“). I tried to rewind time, I tried to go back to the last checkpoint, I quit the game and restarted it, I restarted the iPad, I even uninstalled Episode 2 and reinstalled it. Nothing helped. When the game continues at the last checkpoint I am standing in front of Max‘s room but I cannot enter it. It is obviously a bug and I can’t proceed, because I need to get into Max’s room before the game lets me leave the dormitories. Its a shame, because I would like to play the game over the X-mas/New Year break. I wont have time for it after. I contacted the developer and now I am waiting for a response. But my fear is that they are on holiday break as well. Keep you posted.Update. Did not receive feedback from developer yet. I will have to claim to get reimbursed, because I can‘t continue playing the game. Stuck in Episode 2.

Incredible!!!!

At first, the ads for this game made it seem like the main character, Max, was a male, so I’d skip it, and move on. But as a was looking for new games to play I came across it again, and decided to play it, you know, give it a shot. I was immediately obsessed! I couldn’t stop playing! The characters’ stories are put so perfectly, and it’s so clear to see the relationship status as the story goes on between all of the characters including Victoria. I was so sad when I finished the first episode, but my dad knew how much I liked it, and let me buy the rest of the episodes. The story line was perfect, the detail was perfect, the one thing that annoyed me a teenie bit was that the hair didn’t move. It could be wet, it just didn’t move. I think the first episode of Life Is Strange 2 comes out today, and I am so pumped!! I was literally in tears when I finished the game. If you don’t want to read the whole thing, come here! It’s an incredible game, and I wish I’d had it sooner than I did! It’s just the game I was looking for.

This game is REAL!

When I first started the game I had kinda low expectations but after half an hour of playing it, I couldn’t stop. Everything from the commentary, to the soundtrack is spot on! As for the story it’s awesome that you get to be a part of it. You have the complete freedom to make the choices you want in extremely dire situations, like pulling a trigger or saving someone’s life! Also, it’ll make you think hardcore, to find solutions to some crazy problems. I really love how this game points out to the player what kind of morals they have, and how good they are finding solutions. Even though the game is virtual it’ll pull you in and make you feel like you’re really doing it in real life. I promise this game with all its five seasons is totally worth the price and will get you feeling like you’re on an emotional roller coaster. If you have a pretty boring life (like me) and want some crazy drama, this game will give it to you! I just finished it and I’m on my way to play the next “Life is Strange””Before the Storm”, and I’m sure I won’t be disappointed. This game is REAL and you’re gonna love it! I promise. Just try it out ( the first season is free) and you’ll see what I mean!

This is my FAV game, but a bug has me stuck in Episode 4, end of 2nd to Last Chapter!

Love this game. Played before the storm, too. This ones better. Played great my first time through. I’m having a problem playing it the 2nd time through... making different choices and having the story play a bit different. The game way playing great until the 2nd to last chapter in episode 4 of the dark room. I’ve now restarted the game about 6 or 7 times. Every time I click on leave the party, Mr. Jefferson is announcing the winner and right before he does the game completely shuts down. It didn’t do it the first time I played the game through.. but it is now. Because I made new choices.. I want to see the new ending. And because I’m not playing in collector mode.. I can’t skip through to the next chapter. It’s only a short chapter that is mostly narrative, but if I go to episode 5.. the bonus.. it’ll take me to how I finished the game the first time. I offloaded the app. And it’s reloading again now. It’s my last hope for the game to fix. I wish there was a way to get a response through my email or on the App Store about how this could be fixed.

not compatible with iphone 13…PLEASE FIX ASPECT RATIO!

life is strange is my favorite franchise ever, and i play it almost monthly. a few years ago i saw it was cheaper to buy it on mobile, so i did just that. granted it’s not a great port, but it’s still a playable and enjoyable game. when the remastered came out, i bought it on pc and deleted the app. well, i had a 9 hour flight coming up, so i redownloaded the app on my new iphone 13 in hopes to play the entire game. i couldn’t get past the first 10 minutes. the aspect ratio is all messed up, and it’s impossible to exit the journal. shortly into the game, you are forced to look at your phone (connected to the journal) and you can’t progress unless you press the exit button, which doesn’t exist if playing on iphone 13.this is ridiculous. dontnod or whoever runs this app, please fix this. i didn’t loose any money on it as i played it in the past, but someone who buys the whole game before playing could easily lose money. there are several other reviews stating the same thing as i, and if you encounter this error, i urge you to leave one as well. maybe if we get the rating down far enough or have enough critical reviews, they’ll have to fix it. and if they don’t, that says a lot about them as a company.
