So I'm finally getting around to playing this and just got through act 1. The characters are charming, the vibe is good, and I'm digging the story.

 

Hooooowever, one thing I really like about Life is Strange is that even though some of the characters did dumb things, their actions and reactions were always believable. Even though it would be tremendously dumb to tell your friend who thinks she was drugged and sexually assault to not go to the police because you need "evidence," it's also the kind of thing I can see a naive 18 year old doing (pre#metoo). Act 1 spoiler, what I don't find believable is that a park ranger would have two inexperienced people attempt to rescue a child who is not in any immediate danger across an unstable tree over a ravine. He'd just call search and rescue, go around the ravine and get him from the other side, or have another search party go around the ravine and get him from the other side.

 

Also "That's it! Wake's over, everyone out!" is an unintentionally hilarious line.

They were operating on the assumption that the blast was being delayed.

I should try part 2 again, but I really couldn't get into when I tried. I didn't even make it out of the house you start in. I really didn't like the gameplay  but I keep hearing the story is incredible. 

This was my problem with telltale as well. 


I think it helps if you put it in the movie/show category in your head rather than the gaming box.
