Life is Strange is a game that falls short of its potential, but still manages to tell a true-to-life story of young love and friendship with impressive graphics and music. Its time-manipulating gameplay adds a new level of thoughtfulness to an otherwise familiar choice-based system. However, its disappointing conclusion and supernatural plot that relies on sci-fi clichés bring the whole story down with it. Despite its flaws, it's a game that will be talked about for quite a while.

Life is Strange is in its own category as a fiercely unique and moving series. Despite stumbles, it is poignant and moving, crafting excellent framing for some of the most difficult decisions and developing a memorable relationship between its protagonists. One of the best efforts of the year, unafraid and willing to take chances, and well-deserving of your time.
