Life is Strange

I've played a lot of games in my life, but none of them have affected me as much as Life is strange. I've bought all the games multiple times, done different endings, and even the font I've chosen for this website is derived from the games. I think it's an all around great series and story, and if you haven't had the chance to play any of them you 100 percent should. Life is strange is a series of games about choices and consequences, plus you have super powers. The first game tells a beautiful story that shows how your choices affect your outcomes and other people's lives. Not to say too much about the end, but it ends with you making a choice that affects everyone around you, and makes you pick what you are willing to lose. Another element I love about this game is their use of photography. Photography is one of the passions that I’ve picked up in my life that I’ve really held on to. I remember the day I bought my first camera. It was one of those big purchases that I spent way too much on something I knew nothing about, but I'm glad I did. I love to be able to connect with a main character who shares one of my biggest passions. Now one thing I think Life is Strange 2 does better than the first game is showing that the choices are not always in your hands. LiS2 follows a story about two brothers. You play as the older brother guiding and doing what you feel like you have too, to keep your brother safe. While in the first game your character was the one with the powers, in this game your little brother, who is nine, is the one with the powers. At the end of the game you get two choices on how you want to proceed, but in this game depending on the choices you make and the lessons you teach your brother by your actions and words, it deeply affects the ending you get because your brother can make his own choices. While I think all the games are great I think those two were the ones with the most to learn from, and once again I highly recommend playing these games.
