Life is Strange (PS4)

Compelling, gorgeous, addictive
I'm a fan of role-playing type games; immersive storylines and compelling characters are important to me. Based on reviews I tried Life Is Strange and I wasn't disappointed. Got me really emotionally invested and super addictive. Game play was challenging enough to not be boring but not so difficult that I had to be super-on-the-ball which to be honest I cant be doing with when I want to be playing this game after work or to relax! Shame it wasn't longer or sequels available!! I would perhaps prefer more realistic animation but that is really nit-picking and overall the game was visually pleasing with some gorgeous accompanying music.Note that there were some adult themes so I'm not sure I'd want my 10yr old niece playing, for example. May also benefit from a trigger warning- I know some find this helpful as some parts of the storyline were somewhat distressing. Only noting this because I had not personally expected this degree of content (and my fault I daresay since I have no reason to check for a rating!), not that I personally found this a bad thing.

Absolutely soul destroying. I loved it.
Picked this up on a whim after reading one recommendation. Good god what an absolutely crushing cinematic game! I don't remember the last time I felt so destroyed by a game, throughout the whole game so many event are pretty soul destroying. It's not without it's flaws: the dialogue is at times painfully cringeworthy, it can be a bit glitchy and the rewind mechanic can get a bit over the top (when you're rewinding for the fifth time to remember everything that happens in the future you sort of want to just get passed it and back to the story) but the story is excellent, it's presented brilliantly, the soundtrack is top class and the feeling you get throughout is like very little else out there.

Its like being in a film
No weapons? just following a story? Not for me, saw all the good reviews and thought i'd try it, all i can say is the story is immersive from the start, its like playing in a film or a book, you just want to get to the next bit and the next, very enjoyable

Great game for teenagers and 'grown ups'!
I bought this for my teenage daughter and she loved it. This is one of the first more 'grown up' games she has played and enjoyed being able to make choices within the game and to rewind time. She became attached to the characters and became quite emotional at times however that is all credit to the story line and the characters. She did have to really think about some of the choices she had to make due to how it would affect the characters/plot.She has only recently finished playing the game but said that she wants to play it again soon and to make different decisions to see how it will affect the story. She even wants me to play it. I did sit in with her while she was playing and was impressed with the story line and the great soundtrack!

Yawn
That's 15 minutes I'm never getting back again.Boring.This is a teenage lass at school walking round and clicking on lockers, photos and journals, with long boring animations in-between.Not my thing.I was hoping for a puzzle game. There is nothing intriguing or puzzling here.Waste of 15 quid.
