Being 13-16y/o: OMG LIFE IS STRANGE IS THE GREATEST GAME EVER

Being 17-22y/o: Cringy game, outdated dialogue, forced choices, full of plot holes

Being 23-80y/o: OMG LIFE IS STRANGE IS THE GREATEST GAME EVER

Genuinely the most devastating, inspiring, well put together story I have ever seen in a video game, and the only video game that has ever been able to make me cry and genuinely reflect differently on my life. Also the only game that has made me want to replay it over and over again to get every possible path instead of just looking up an alternate ending. Truly inspiring and a fantastic use of the reversing time mechanic, perfectly linear and sensible cause and effect. As well as the beautiful BEAUTIFUL graphics that perfectly compliment the flawless sound design. Incredibly Immersive. Cannot talk up this game enough. Highly HIGHLY recommend.

this is the game that I will recommend to everyone genuinely changed my perspective on life
