Life is Strange

Right now i am very speechless at this moment from the weekend, to now. From the title, some of you may be thinking "what is Life Is Strange? Are you talking about life"? Well, it's a video game i have been playing for a couple of weeks now. Yes, it is strange of me to talk about a game that i have been playing. Recently, i have finished the game and i am just blown away on how a game can impact me in my life. The story in the game is very relatable  to me, and possibly to other people who may have played this game. And the story presented to me, hit me on a personal level, and i have never in my whole life felt this way about a games story. The story follows a high school girl named Max Caulfield. She just moved from Seattle to a town named Arcadia Bay (the town looks like city of Oregon) and she is an outcast, a soft spoken, shy person who loves photography. She soon figures out that she has the ability to rewind time, leading her every choice to enact the butterfly effect. And with the butterfly effect, comes with great consequences. All of us especially have felt a moment in our lives to wish we could go back in time to fix things. And this game delivers it.




It gives you the imagination of what it would be like if you had the ability to rewind time. After I have finished game last Saturday,  I felt joy, and a little bit of emptiness because I have never had a connection between a character like this before. This game is not like your ordinary game, go to this place, talk to people, find something, etc. This games involves choices that will effect your story in the process of playing. In every situation I had to choose, I would be hesitatent to make a choice, because I would be thinking of the outcome and the possibilities this decision could make. I would actually take 3 to 4 minutes contemplating in my thoughts of what would be the right choice to make. This game changed my perspective in life, and to my choices I make. And I remember how in class we talked about is music art/ literature . And I explained that it is on how the artist writes, rhymes his or her lyrics. And now, I found a new art/ literature. Specific games are literature and an art. If a game really strucks you like this game made me feel, then this is truly an art forms. I seriously recommend this game, even if some of you may not like games, or find them "not enjoyable" trust me, this game you will love, and relate to in many levels.

It's avaliable on a
the platforms listed: Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC (go to the website Steam (it's a website other buy games. It's a safe website), or a local store who has the game. For example:Walmart, Gamestop, Target, or possibly Best Buy), Playstation 4, Playstation 3.
