This is the best Life is Strange game in my opinion. It’s beautiful (visually and as a story), Alex’s power is really interesting and the romantic options are both great. I think Ryan is the best male romantic choice of the franchise and Steph is obviously insanely cool. It never feels slow in the way LiS2 did at times and it’s lost the “fellow kids” dialogue of LiS1.
I also loved the tiny differences you can make to the lives of extremely minor characters (ones so minor they are called things like “sad man”). You have the ability to touch and improve so many lives.
What you do throughout the game doesn’t have mind blowing consequences for the endings, so if that’s your thing then this game isn’t for you. But that’s always the case in LiS games. The point is who Alex ends up being as a result of what happens. As cringey as it sounds, the journey is the important thing with this game.
