Life is Strange: Wavelengths
As a (former) radio host myself, playing as a character from that perspective was really fun. Wavelengths is my favourite kind of DLC - pretty much its own little game with a side character as a protagonist, and Steph is probably my favourite protagonist alongside Chloe.

Life is Strange: True Colors
I played True Colours before, during and after going through a love drama, and it really helped distract me from everything going on in my life at the time. Having a LiS protagonist in their 20s feels like something they should have done ages ago, and it really feels refreshing. Just like literally every LiS game, the last episode's sped up and dramatic pacing is thrilling to go through and comprehend, but I do think the first few episodes felt like a bit of a drag.

Life is Strange 2
As an older brother myself, many major scenes including (most importantly) the ending I got in Life Is Strange impacted me personally more than any game I have ever played has, to the extent that I still felt guilt weeks after finishing it. My decisions mattered, and that is profound. My major issue with LiS2 is that it feels awkward - the scope is so much larger, but the game itself is restricted by the 5 Chapter bullshit

Life is Strange: Before the Storm
I loved the original Life is Strange, but I never really related to it. I played Before the Storm at a very sentimental time in my life filled with change, and it's story is exactly what I needed to be able to comprehend everything for me. I still listen to Daughter's soundtrack for this game quite often and just think about Chloe's story and how it contrasted with my life at that age.. and that means a lot to me.

Life is Strange
I played Life is Strange at one of the strangest eras in my life. I had just graduated, but I hadn't yet come to terms with the plan for the next chapter in my life. Life is Strange impacted me a whole lot - I had a lot of free time and this franchise was all I thought about. How Max's choices affected everyone around her, and how being able to go back and change it doesn't always avoid tragedy. The sentiments this game bought me were crucial in my perception of choices in my life going forward from that point, and I love it for that.
