I really didn't like the story in Life is Strange. It's straight from the "tell the player to do something and then tell them what they just did was bad" school of game writing, and that poo poo is really obnoxious.

I really liked the first 3.5 episodes or so, but absolutely loathed the ending.

i thought it was weak that the game ends with "good, bad... ya gotta admit, Life is Strange"

Life is Strange feels like a story that will land the best if you're playing it with other people or watching other people play it. Going through it solo and without having "vaped some dank OG bud" is probably a setup for a bad time

I dont like calling games garbage because it's aggressive and not very critical but life is strange is complete garbage, it's the video game equivalent of pretty little liars.

I think the story in Life is Strange peaked at episode 3 for me, which was particularly harrowing. Nothing after that was as good, but I still enjoyed it.

Life Is Strange is great apart from the ending which is meh if you pick the one they really want you to but okay if you don't.

The Helis quote (because I've played this game 3 times already) is "a new dawn trembles on the horizon, a new day waiting to be born" etc. which I guess has two words from the title together, but does not really refer to the title in context at all.
