  • I feel a sense of beauty and tragedy in the story, as it portrays characters who are 'beautiful and damned,' living a life that is both forced and yet deeply personal.
  • I sense a strong desire for freedom and individuality, as the characters express that they 'want to be ourselves' and 'live the way that we want.'

  • I perceive a critique of others who are described as 'weird people' who 'never be happy' and 'want to close us here,' highlighting a sense of oppression and misunderstanding.

  • I really, really, REALLY don't understand how this has a 96% rating on Steam. This game is quite possibly one of the worst games I've ever played.
  • The story is incredibly bad and boring, and all the characters they want you to like aren't likable at all besides Kate.
  • The main character, Max, is one of the most hollow characters I've ever played as in a video game. She's a completely empty husk waiting to be controlled by the player and doesn't have a personality besides liking photography.
  • The entire game hinges on you bonding with and liking Chloe, but Chloe is a very annoying and bad person.
  • Chloe constantly claims that Max abandoned her, gets mad at you when you listen to her advice, and manipulates Max into using her powers on stupid things even after learning it hurts Max.
  • Chloe gets sad if you choose not to steal money that's supposed to go towards a charity and gets mad if you choose to call a girl who doesn't have the best mental state.
  • Chloe steals a gun from her stepdad, makes fun of Max for not wanting to play with it, and gets pissed at Max for not wanting to take a human life.
  • The writers try to make you feel bad for Chloe by making her crippled in an alternate timeline, but she was so unlikable that it didn't work.
  • If you want to play games in this style with likable main characters and side characters with depth, go to Telltale's games and buy The Walking Dead Series.
  • I rate this game 2/10.

  • I initially thought playing the game legitimately would be a great idea after trying it unofficially, but I was wrong.
  • The game is not bad, but it feels boring and shallow to me.
  • I feel like my choices in the game don't matter, which is disappointing.
  • The story is written for impact and shock value, which I realized only in retrospect.
  • I liked the game during the first playthrough, but not during the second one.
  • By the end of the first playthrough, I found the story becoming uninteresting.
  • The story feels like it solves things because it needs to, not because of player agency.
  • I feel like things just happen in the game to move the plot, regardless of my input.
  • This issue applies to the game as a whole, not just this specific episode.

  • I find the game to be rather strange and niche, as it seems to cater to a specific audience rather than a broad one.
  • I feel intrigued by the dark and mature themes of kidnapping and murder in the story, which adds depth to the narrative.
  • I appreciate the unique concept of playing as a teen girl with the ability to control time, which adds an interesting twist to the gameplay.
  • I notice that the game feels reminiscent of a Telltale game, with its focus on exploration and dialogue-driven gameplay.
  • I feel that the game's mix of dark themes and a teenage protagonist creates an unusual but compelling contrast.

  • I appreciate that Life is Strange embraces its niche style, even if it means it can't appeal to everyone.
  • I feel that Life is Strange is deeply tied to its unique Tumblr-esque emotional rollercoaster, which makes it impossible to separate from its niche identity.
  • I believe that trying to change or critique Life is Strange to fit outside its intended style is futile, as its core identity is firmly rooted in its specific vibe.
  • I think Life is Strange is what it is, and no amount of critique or alteration can fundamentally change its essence.
  • I find it fascinating that Life is Strange's identity is so strong that it feels like trying to rewrite a fundamental aspect of oneself to change it.
  • I feel that Life is Strange's emotional depth and unique style are integral to its charm, even if they limit its broader appeal.
  • I think the game's identity is so deeply ingrained that it feels like an absolute impossibility to alter it without losing what makes it special.
  • I find it interesting that Life is Strange's style is so specific that it creates a paradox when trying to fit it into other contexts.
  • I believe that Life is Strange's emotional and stylistic choices are deliberate and essential to its storytelling.
  • I feel that Life is Strange's niche appeal is both a strength and a limitation, as it resonates deeply with its target audience but may not reach others.
