Game won't launch

I rarely review products online, but I feel I must in this case. I played the first episode for free on Steam, and it was pretty good, so I decided to buy the complete season here due to the absence of DRM. Unfortunately, I've now spent as much time installing, reinstalling, troubleshooting, researching, etc as I playing that first episode. There are a lot of people facing the same issue, with both this and Before The Storm. I understand that there are sometimes edge cases that cause problems for small numbers of users, especially with recent launches. This is probably a "configuration" type issue with certain machines i.e. we are missing some dependency somewhere. I've spent a considerable amount of time looking at log files, event viewer, dll and registry handles in Process Explorer, etc, all to no avail. The mere fact that I am looking at that stuff at all when trying to play a game from a big publisher is absurd. The actual game seems good from what I've played, but I cannot recommend anyone purchase it in its current state. Hopefully the developers or publishers or GoG will come up with a fix, or someone in the community can figure something out.

Your choices matters (kinda).

I took my chances and decided to buy this game on gog, I just want to expand my gog library a bit I figure, saw this game on discount on steam several times but never could I dragged myself to buy it (or play the episode 1 demos). But damn, what a decision I made. The game is not so much a game, it's resembles Telltale games but with more interactions with environment, you don't made choices but you would explore and observe your environment to make decisions, never played Telltale games but I saw some videos on YouTube and you bet this game is better in gameplay. Yes, the camera can be a bit weird but then again it's 3rd person perspective so what you gonna do? It's minor complain really if it can be called complain at all. The real bread and meat of this game is the story and you should play this game blindly, which I did. The story can be a little cringy but that depends on your demographic, are you above 47? play galaga and consider throwing rocks and bonking sticks as video games? there are high chances that you can't relate and enjoy this game, if you are teenagers or young adults, I'm 90% sure this game will blow you away, especially if you enjoy game with good story. 10/10 [SPOILER AT THIS POINT] Man, I wish didn't peek at Life is Strange 2, I planned on straight buying it, I thought it was separate story entirely, apparently it's NOT, and my final choices is to sacrifice that important character in the end (you know who, if you finished the game), I kinda dissapointed that it's seem there are actual canon in this game which made left the bad taste in my mouth. Why? It means your choice don't matter, in the eye of the developer, because they decided to things for you (hence the title of this review). But then again, this game on itself is great, and you should play it.

Waisted potential.

I'll be honest, I don't like this game and for reasons some might consider irrelevant. The game borrows heavily from the TellTale school of gaming. A linear story with few branching paths with "This character will remember this!" popping up after every dialogue conversation. Overall, outside of one big plot point, your choices don't really change much. The main character, Sam, has time control powers that are used in puzzles and to find out the pest options in dialogue trees. My problems start when the story devolves into a self insert fantasy. All the main characters can do no wrong and no matter how repulsive there choices are, they will always be shown as in the right. There is even a moment where Sam questions her choices up until now. I was actually intrigued and thought the game will go all meta on me. But then another character comes in goes "Nah girl! You are super special awesome and $hit!". I can't go in deeper without spoilers. So, if you are into these kind of tween dramas than go right ahead. But be warned, Dpnnie Darko this is not, even though it clearly is trying it's hardest to be.

One of the best Games in the modern

This game is really breathtaking. I purchased the game very late some years before and i started the game. For the first minutes it feels so strange to play the game. I don't know about the characters, but after some hours of exploring the environments helped me to dive in the gameplay and game. And the game catches me. It chatched me on the point with Kate Marsh. I never was crying so much after this point in the game than in any other games. The decisions must chosen very wisely. If not any decisions will affect the story-line for the next episodes. After beating the game in my first playthrough i had a wonderful time. Life is Strange is that what the first Shenmue is: A very atmospheric game and very memorable. It plays like a TV-Series and it is very interacting. I love Life is Strange.
