Dating back to January of this year, Max's adventure has been quite a ride. After a couple of episodes that were pretty shaky, the French developer righted itself and delivered three consecutive home runs that absolutely blew us away, and this has culminated in a finale that delivers on everything that we could have possibly dreamed of. We definitely hope that Life Is Strange sees something of a second season, and we can't wait to see what DONTNOD does next.

Even if all decisions you made will not be miraculously represented in the game’s closing moments, that’s not to say they are lost to the world. The decisions are of course referenced, with bits and pieces inserted and removed from this very episode as it advances to suit. There is an early line spoken; “You brought yourself here by your own choice,” and that rings true as the episode develops. It is obvious all these choices are still relevant, as they come together to tell the tale of how each player approached the end of their respective journeys. It is not as if Dontnod have tossed them aside as if they never happened. They happened, they always will have happened, and if you enjoyed the road to get here they have always matter to you.
