It's 2024 now. This game is 9 years old.

I just finished another playthrough, for about the fifth or sixth time in 8 years. This time as a spectator mostly, with a close friend.

Seeing how she has experienced the game, I stand by what I said in the original review back in 2016: that Life is Strange is a landmark in what video games can do in terms of narrative, and can still be a hugely important and impactful video game experience.

It's still relevant, the plot twists still hit as hard as a train, the game still makes people really care about the characters, plays perfectly fine for its genre, and will always look nice, even if it never had state-of-the-art photorealistic graphics.

A game that is way more than the sum of its parts and that will always have a special place in my heart.
