azuarc 06/06/20 8:42:52 PM #100:	KamikazePotato posted... 65.5 Points 9 Supporters Life is Strange is actually the one game in the Top 20 I haven't played, and I probably will eventually so I don't want to spoil myself, so I'll be crowdsourcing this writeup! Fans of the game feel free to talk about why they care about the story so much. It certainly got a lot of support. Imagine a game about time travel that can't quite decide which kind of time travel story it is, and instead decides to do them all. And somehow, it kinda works. Max Caulfield returns to the sleepy Oregon Town of Arcadia Bay where she grew up, as a high school senior on a scholarship to the town's private academy for their photography program. She's explicitly avoided seeking out her best friend, Chloe Price, because they left on awkward terms, but when she and Chloe are thrust together and Max discovers that she can rewind time to make new and better-informed decisions, she becomes Chloe's new savior, doing whatever she can to protect her old friend who has gotten (and continues to get) herself into trouble by falling in with the wrong crowd during Max's absence. In the process, Max will learn more than a few dark secrets about Arcadia Bay, experience the darker sides of Blackwell Academy, and confront a terrifying storm that might destroy the whole town unless Max can navigate the timelines to stop it. Max herself is a blank slate of a character, having some sarcastic internal monologue but generally being pretty wishy-washy up front, however, the writing and acting of Chloe (Ashley Burch) is an absolute treasure. If you don't hate Chloe and her antics, you absolutely adore her, and there's rarely much in-between. The character was engaging enough with fans to warrant a prequel set a year before Max returns to town, with Chloe taking center stage. Life is Strange's writing is uneven at times, misses out on a few opportunities of the medium, and can be exhausting when it expects us to learn and explore an entire town's worth of characters, but the highs of its experience are so high that it absolutely earns its place near the top of this list. --- Congratulations to all the gurus, past and present, participating in the contest.
