I don't normally write reviews but this game deserves one. The story, characters, choices, etc are all phenomenal. The game is about a college photography student named Max Caulfield who recently has returned to her hometown for school. While she is taking a photograph of a butterfly, she watches a fight ensue and a person shot. This awakens her rewind power and all the strange events start from then on.

So about the story, setting, visuals, characters... They all work together beautifully to give you such a strong sense that you really are Max Caulfield and you are experiencing this adventure first-hand. The subtle moments of continuity between episodes (spoilers: the potted plant!) and the little details added into every room make it very enjoyable. You feel good for noticing the personalities the characters show on their bedroom walls. Everything just feels... real. These aren't two-dimensional characters, they're anything but. They all have stories, families, connections, friends, etc. The characters and story are relatable and the rewind mechanic to choices makes the choices all that much heavier. Speaking of the rewind mechanic, playing through this game will only make you wish even stronger that you had the same power. You approach every choice with such a different outlook. There's no need to choose the safe option if you can rewind time. Anyway, it's been an absolute pleasure to be able to play it and I firmly believe it is one of the best experiences a story-driven game can give. Cheers to Life is Strange Season 2.

Final Rating: 10/10

First episode is completely free, so please go try it out. You won't regret it.
