Life is Strange - Episode 3 Review @ JustAdventure

by Hiddenx, 2015-07-06 00:14:03

Bailey James has reviewed the third episode of Life is Strange - Chaos Theory:

Every time a new episode of Dontnod Entertainment’s Life Is Strange is released, I feel a rush of anxiety that this installment won’t be as good as the last, that the abstract magic the game creates will have been tarnished. Fortunately, that anxiety has been totally misplaced; the third episode completely lives up to the mastery of the first two, maintaining the tightly-constructed plot and twisting the gameplay to create ambiguity and raise the stakes yet again. [...]

Final Grade: A-

+ Deeper exploration of character relationships
+ Improved puzzles with more connection to the story
+ Development of new powers that escalate the plot
 
- Less of the excellent music and other atmospheric details
- Ambiguous ending that could end up being either brilliant or terrible
