People know I really like video games so sometimes they will know that I really like this game and then ask me,
"Hey Margot should I play life is strange?"
and then I have to be like actually no. You prob shouldn't. Lol
Because although I think everyone should play life is strange it would be hard for someone I know to play it and then inevitably have them report back to me that it was kinda shit. I would have to explain why I like a game so much that's riddled with so much flaws and give an unsatisfactory explanation to why I treasure it so much. Is the story very good? well kinda? Is it unique? well not really, its super predictable. Are the characters interesting? Not particularly! Ok!! is the game design good, how are the controls?? nope!
I think I like life is strange so much because even though the plot twist is bland, Chloe is kinda hard to wanna save, pacing sucks ect. it screams heart and sincerity. What made me fall in love with life is strange was how max acted just like me. How much I wanted warren to be real and my crush on him. The dialogue, the setting, the style of the game all feels so warm and homey, but It feels like that to me because all the redeeming, aesthetic elements of the game are just things I really enjoy. Even the themes that it objectively shouldn't be able to succeed in showing because of its flaws are so successful for me, just because the game as a whole feels like a portal into my mind. I cried and always cry when I play it- despite not really caring about the end choice you are forced to make. I will replay it endlessly just to feel overwhelming comfort when To all of you rolls in. I will play it just to hear max make stupid comments about things and for warren to be cringe.
liking a game that's amazing makes sense, and I like a lot of those games. It says more to like a game that kinda is bad just because it resonates with you on such a personal illogical way.
ready for the mosh pit, Shaka bra.
