While the game is better than Life is Strange 2, it is definitely worse than the first game. The power to absorb and feel other people’s emotions doesn’t have the same universal appeal that time travel had in the original Life is Strange. The power is just straight up boring and you will forget to use it outside of the hard scripted events.
The side effect of such an ability also makes the main character come off as weak and confused anytime there’s even the slightest bit of social tension, which doesn’t make her as interesting as Max from the first game, as she doesn’t really seem to be in control of anything at all.

The storytelling sticks to the Life is Strange formula with dramatic events that kicks things off, setting the tone for the rest of the episodes, and the final episode is supposed to deliver a big payoff. The issue, though, is that I guessed who the bad guy was right after the first episode, so from there, the game just felt predictable. I was basically waiting for it to end, which made it drag. I know this doesn’t apply to everyone, but the bad guy is painfully obvious and I think the majority of players will solve this “mystery” within the first few episodes.
One thing I did like though, is the environment. The small mountain town looks and feels super cozy, like a place I’d love to visit or maybe even live in. The atmosphere is one of the best parts of the game, no question. Credit to the level designers.

The awkward smiles… All the characters in this game have some of the most awkward smiles I’ve ever seen. They all look like “Hide the Pain Harold” and it’s honestly really distracting.

In summary, while the setting is great, the game itself just doesn’t live up to the original.
After I just completed the last episode, I was like, alright it wasn’t terrible. But then after having chewed on it for a bit and compared it to LiS 1 and other similar games, I actually do think this game is terrible. It just isnt worth the time or money. It’s just too boring and the story, characters and events just doesn’t hit you or stick with you.

I recommend this game for people who enjoy interactive stories. It is a beautiful game with some choices that effect how it all plays out to a minor degree. But as said it is more like an interactive movie than a traditional game

Roller Coaster of emotions, got lost in the LIS world yet again.

I give an 7.5/10, The story is great. Gameplay and Performance is quite good.
But I want to explore in Haven Springs more and This game is too expensive compared to the content I have played,
I'm wait for sale is better for me. (Save my Wallet)
P.S. I love this character, Alex

It was better than 2, but still far off from 1.

the worst lis game ever i hate the girl

Good game series before the added the alphabet mafia tag and started following that rabbit hole.

I just finished the game last weekend. I've had it for a while, but never really got the chance to play it through. I love the style, atmosphere, the town of Haven Springs. It all looks very pretty in a cartoony way.

The story is not as deep or sad as Life is Strange 1, but it's still very interesting. This time it's more feel-good (if you play it right) as you help people through their fears, sadnesses and angers so they can experience joy. And that all while trying to solve the mystery surrounding your brother's death.

The soundtrack is very amazing, as expected from a Life is Strange game. The voice acting is very well done and all characters are played/voiced very nicely.

The puzzle's weren't as challenging as Life is Strange 1 and I feel you could mess up less than the first game (where wrong choises could actually lead to death), but then again, I haven't replayed the game to try all other choises. But still, this game feels a bit more shallow with your decisions, and I know that there are 6 endings and your choises decide who stands by you and who wont. I did like that some choises seem obvious, but can still have a negative impact later. So you do have to think certain decisions through.

All in all, I liked the game a lot. It's more light hearted and it made me smile a bit more than make me feel sad. It's a nice addition to the Life is Strange universe. I haven't played the DLC yet, so no idea how that one is. Might try it another time, but first going to enjoy Double Exposure that will be released soon!

This might be the best of the series yet. I didn't care for the second game but this one is much better. Alex is my favorite protagonist of the three.
