Life is Strange
Life is Strange is one of the most heartfelt and immersive games in recent years. Players assume the role of Max Caulfield, a photography senior who discovers she can rewind time and uses it to try and save her friend and uncover the mystery of a missing-persons case in her town. Life is Strange’s beautiful, yet troubled coming of age story was only enhanced by a soundtrack that made the whole feel ooze a cinematic vibe.
Whether it was the original soundtrack courtesy of Jonathan Morali that compliments general gameplay and exploration of the world, or the licensed soundtrack that manages to perfectly convey the emotions of a cutscene, Life is Strange was all the more memorable for it. I challenge all of you to not get choked up when Spanish Sahara by Foals plays over that final scene. Don’t lie, you know you did.
