[Review] Life is strange





I've played "Life is strange" but I must confess, It was a good game, but... it's not my kind of game.

 It's the kind of genre where you have to take some decisions and, just like my life, I keep wondering if I took the right one.
But the difference is that in this game you can go back in time to change your decision.
It's like if you were able to play the movie "Butterfly Effect"

Separated into 5 episodes (I have no idea why they've been doing games separated into episodes, but ok) you play as Max, a studant who goes back into her home town to have photography lessosn with a prestigious teacher.
During what seemed to be a regular day, young Max ended up finding out that she's able to go back in time, what generates a huge chain of events.

Despite it's low begining it's a good game and even some very small choices WILL generate some sort of consequence in the future which the game will make sure to keep a bitter reminder of your past choices. Some of those were really difficult for me and it'll make you sob like a lil' helpless kid.
All the main and side characters are very well written and you can talk with all of them from the homeless lady, to the guy at the bus stop and you can interact with pretty much everything.
The game could be longer, in my opinion, because I wish I could know more about other characters, like Victorya, Rachel, and all the others.

However it's not my kind of game, meaning that I will not play again.
Actually I did play it twice, but it was just so I could get all the achievments.
