Life Is Strange
Life Is Strange centers around a young woman named Max who finds herself with the strange ability to rewind time and change events based on the player’s decisions. It played out similarly to a Telltale game but the superpower twist allowed you to see all of the outcomes before going with a choice.
Enter Chloe, Max’s best friend that is saved by a gunshot thanks to Max. This event leads the two of them on a highly emotional and wild ride, a ride that neither of them will ever forget.
Life is Strange went on to get its own sequel this year that stars a pair of new protagonists and there was also a mini prequel series that delves into Chloe’s past which is also a must-play.
Life is Strange changed the game for narrative, choice-based adventure games and it holds up as one of the most poignant video game stories of all time. Just try to go through that ending of the first game without shedding a tear or two.
