Review of Life is Strange

I'LL BE YOU'RE PARTNER IN CRIME, AS LONG AS YOU'RE MY PARTNER IN TIME.

Life Is Strange was my Best Game of 2015. The story, The tone and the characters were so great, lovable and interesting that it sucked me right into it at once and made it perfect story and perfect game to me.
I notice this on YouTube early in 2015, when Square Enix posted the first trailer in there. I watched it and it got my attention big time. And when the first episode came and i played it, i was deeply hooked.
The game is based on small ''Twin Peaks-like'' town, Arcadia Bay and tells the story of photography student Max Caulfield, who got possessed an power to rewind time. Shes shy and intelligent girl, who has this huge responsibility to solve a mystery of missing person, help her dear friend from certain death and save the whole town from deadly tornado by the end of the week. So Max has alot of things to do and time isn't her side. Even though she can rewind it.
First when i lay my eyes on the game, i loved from what it looked like. It has this watercolor/animation mixed look, which is so beautiful and warming. Every building, landscape or people aren't perfectly detailed and those things gives it this unique look, which is perfect for it.
Then the chilling and perfectly crafted soundtrack. Tracks are so carefully picked, that i listen it even these days and have my own copy of it. There are many known indie artists on it.
Throughout the music, to the mood of the game. It was so peaceful and has this real life like feeling. There was action too and when it was on, it was intense and thrilling. But there was so many chilling and beautiful moments as well. Mainly the course of the game was wandering places and studying environment, people and the history of the town. Finding clues and solve the truth about those people and things what has happend in Arcadia Bay as past years.
Finally, which i mentioned beginning of the review, the story and the characters.
There was countless characters in this game which were so interesting and important for the story. I liked almost everyone and Chloe Price, Max's best friend, became my favorite one. She was so rebel, cool and determined. Her friends meant so much for her, so she would do anything to find and protect them. Max was awesome as well. So cool and little bit hipster, although she wouldn't admit it.
The story was joyful, sad, funny and so real life like. It deals with things and problems, that people are facing everyday. I can relate many of them, which we experience along the way Max's story. There are also many memorable lines and catchphrases which have stucked in my mind. Hella you Dontnod ;D. NO EMOJI!
I haven't played any other game like Life Is Strange before and which has made so huge impact on me. I love it and hope that more is on the way, because these kinds of games can also teach so much to us. Games and movies has always been to me more than just an entertainment. They have given me many good tips and examples from life and they are the reason how i learn my semi good english language skills.
