Tell me why this game is so boring and badly written.

The characters are so bland, they have no real personality. They always seem so depressed and don't really have a bond. Even their faces are not expressive it makes it impossible to get attached to them. They are both always angry, always sad, always pissed, always grumpy, with a flat emotionless face.

The story is very slow, dramatic and uninteresting.
The puzzles are annoying.
The only positive thing I can say about this game is that it was very beautiful visually.

There's nothing special about this game, I thought it would touch more on the transgender difficulties of Tyler with his mother, but no final answer to that side of the story. They like to start plot stories and then not lead them anywhere, there was several beginnings of side plots that were all forgotten and never leaded anywhere in the story.
Everything is so flat and meh that even the big revelation at the end falls flat.

The choices of the characters in the end on where to stay and where to live felt stupid.

I love Life is Strange and this is nowhere as good at it. It doesn't feel like it was made by the team who made LIS.
Finishing it was painfully boring. I do not recommend buying it.
