It took a year and a lot of convincing from a friend before I would even attempt Life is Strange. To my surprise I liked it. Unfortunately the marketing for the game absolutely turned me off. The developer displayed a complete lack of respect to the punk rock scene. Turns out that was half the point because Chloe truly is a poser and the game itself doesn't even come close to trying to pretend she isn't. She's truly a despicable person but once you get to see the alternatives your heart really begins to sink and feel for her even though she's a terrible person to her bitter core. Which the game makes a clear point of when you hallucinate the possibilities of her using you and selling you out for her own personal pleasure, which doesn't happen but Maxine obviously felt conflicted about it.
I haven't played Before the Storm yet but I plan to do so once I'm done with a couple other games.
