The Smaller Game – Life is Strange
Xbox Games with Gold Predictions
On the same Square Enix train, Life is Strange would be a perfect pick for the smaller title on the Xbox free games list for February 2020.
Similar episodic-styled titles have been included on Games with Gold in the past, like Telltale’s The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season in October 2015 or Batman: The Telltale Series just last month in January 2020.
Sometimes Microsoft will only offer the first season to entice players to purchase the rest as the game as it comes out. But in this case it will likely offer all five episodes of Life is Strange as it’s been a while since the game’s episodes were released in 2015. Much like the whole Batman series was offered last month whereas only the first season of the Walking Dead series was offered in 2015 in between the game’s second and third season.
Life is Strange has also already been offered on Sony’s similar PS Plus program back in June 2017. When a game has been offered on PS Plus, there is a greater chance it will be offered for free on Games with Gold in the future and vice versa.
It’s a great game, at least we think so as we named it one of our best games of the decade recently and was our runner-up for GOTY in 2015. Of course it has a sequel too which is also a great game.
Make sure to check back in the next week or so when the official free games list for February 2020 for Xbox One Games with Gold from Microsoft will be released.
