Life is Strange is one of those rare games that captures their characters in a sincere light. I didn't like everyone, for obvious reason within the story, but they all felt like real people. The main character is a shy, pretentious, teenage girl that is both horrible and interesting in a number of ways. She at certain points of the story represents both the best and worst qualities of human beings. Her power allows her to indulge in the darker aspects of human nature and then essentially erases the consequence of her actions by rewinding time. Even I felt really bad about the some of the choices that Max had available to her and how much joy she took in doing something she knew she would reverse. Yet on the other hand she also had some of the best humanizing moments I've experienced in a video game to date. The point of this game is to sell it's character and get the player to care about the world, with a few time puzzles in between, and I think Life is Strange delivered.
