Life is Strange is a popular game series originally released in 2015. There are 6 main games but each new chapter has a new story line with different main characters.
Life is Strange is an adventure/story game where the main characters all have to make important choices that have consequences. There is also a supernatural touch to this game that leaves main characters asking so many questions and exploring places to solve mysteries.
If you enjoy paying attention to details, solving mysteries, and supernatural adventures this game is for you. Fans on social media share, ¨This game is about the journey, not the destination.¨ Which encourages people to play the game for the plot instead of trying to complete as fast as possible.
In Life is Strange: True Colors, follows the story of the main character, Alex Chen, a young adult who has a strange ability she doesn’t quite understand that allows her to feel the emotions of others.
The game takes place in a small town in Colorado that Alex moves to in search of reuniting with her older brother Gabe after being separated while in the foster care system. Although this scenic mountain town Haven Springs looks ordinary, the residents and large local mining company Typhon keep a dark secret of its past and present hidden from newcomers and especially Alex.
Life is Strange no matter which story you play is a nice coming of age series that shows realities to life and choice making. An article written by Julie Muncy on wired.com shares, ¨Things go wrong, failure is part of the experience. So long as I’m still engaged, all the better.¨
Playing these games help you think deeper on how your decisions can impact you or others. There are many points throughout the game where your main character has an important choice to make that could have many outcomes.
You try to pick what you believe the best or logical choice is to not receive bad consequences. But keep in mind these games have multiple endings that you can still be comfortable with despite possibly making one bad choice.
This March, Life is Strange: Reunion is expected to come out. This specific sequel follows the story from a previous game ¨Double Exposure¨ where characters Max and Chloe face their own consequences from the 5th game.
Max is determined to save Arcadia Bay from a devastating disaster heading its way. She continues to use her supernatural ability to rewind time thinking it will save everyone, she figures out making changes to the present and past can result in devastating consequences.
