Very pleased with this title. It has a different approach in comparison to its predecessors but you can still feel the vibe of a Life is Strange game. Perhaps this is the least gripping and emotionally wrecking story from the franchise but it surely is not weak and stands out with its own aesthetic.

I don't know if anybody else felt the same way, but I felt that this game radiates with optimism despite a rather difficult topic the story revolves around. I always felt happier playing the game. The town is likeable, believable and coherent. The main character is surprisingly deep and multi-layered. We cannot talk one-dimensional about her at all which is a great relief as I had my suspicious that this character would lack charisma but nothing of the sort happened, thankfully.

This game's decisions may feel out of place sometimes, but they just focus on maintaining and creating relationships with the town which is a change from decision-making purely for the sake of the plot. I don't find it to be a downside of the game, albeit it's understandable that for some it might be. The problem is that you may sometimes feel like the decisions do not matter as much, as you do not see the outcomes of them at times, a matter which could have been handled better. This time, some decisions could even be completely evaded and I personally do not think it was a good idea.

The music, graphics, all top-notch and pleasing for the eye and ear, perhaps the soundtrack could have been expanded, it felt rather limited at times but nonetheless fitting. The plot isn't weak either and I felt interested throughout the entire game about the finale. No issues with the optimization, no bugs found either.

All in all, a game worth recommending. Perhaps not a one that will stick with you forever, but the one you will smile about once someone mentions it.
