3. Life Is Strange
Life Is Strange is a really interesting episodic adventure by Square Enix and Dontnod Entertainment. You play as high school photography student Maxine Caulfield, who discovers she has the ability to rewind time. After having foreseen a massive tornado destroying her town, Maxine must try and rescue the town. Based on your actions as Maxine, the narrative structure and ultimately fate of the town is entirely in your hands.
Despite some awkward slang and lip synching issues, Life is Strange is a great game. The narrative is poignant and emotional and the characters are well developed. The world is immersive enough to draw you in. What I especially enjoyed was that it dealt with subjects usually avoided by video games, such as bullying, drugs, and suicide. All five episodes are now available and can be downloaded on console or Steam.
