Arcadia Bay, a cassette spinning, and the power to rewind time to undo what you regret.

The profile of Life Is Strange rests on one clear emotion. Rediscovery carries it to the very top, ahead of more than nine games in ten: it's the adventure you'd dream of living again for the first time, and that says it all. Sound environment and fun follow, ahead of nearly eight titles in ten, art direction and attachment right behind. The big split comes from the desert island, right at the bottom, the game you don't take along. Those two lines rest on few votes, to be confirmed, but the logic reads clear: a poignant story you live once and don't feel like replaying on loop. It's a game of the moment, not a castaway companion.

Among choice-driven narratives, it's one of those that leaves the most lasting mark, where others favor action or replay value.

So, for who? For you if you love stories that stay with you long after the credits, melancholy moods, an OST that clings to your skin. Much less if you're after twitchy gameplay or a game you restart endlessly.
