Life is Strange Review
Available on PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3 and PCLife is Strange is a point-and-click game that will remind players of the Fighting Fantasy and Choose Your Own Adventure books – well, those who old enough to remember them. If you never owned one, imagine a story in which you are the hero in an adventure and unlike other books, which are presented in a linear pattern, you flip back and forth between the pages based on the choices you make as the narrative unfolds. It’s similar to Telltale Games’s Walking Dead series, in which the narrative branches based on the choices you makes. But crucially, Life is Strange – developed by French studio, DontNod Entertainment – allows you the option of going back on some of the choices they make. In a way it’s akin to sticking two or three fingers between the pages of a Choose Your Own Adventure Book to hold your places in case the choices you’ve made end up leading you down a path that proves detrimental to your wellbeing.
