Very good game!

Please stop killing my beautiful gay wife :(

I mean, you have a dedicated meow button and can knock things off tables, what's not to love?

Stray is visually stunning, I grew to love the characters in the short time I got to know them and puzzles took just the right level of difficulty. And although controlling your little feline body might feel a tiny bit wonky at times, running around each area (occasionally with a bag on your head) felt kind of... liberating?

--MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS--

I loved the first game, and was pretty damn hyped when Before The Storm was announced. I didn't even realize that I wanted to know what'd happened to Rachel until Chloe got to know her better.
And while I do love the game, so far I haven't enjoyed it as much as the first one. Maybe because I just really liked Max's innocence.
At the time of writing I've finished the 2nd episode, and thus played over half the game. Yet, I feel like the story isn't unfolding as much as in the first game. Yes, you find out some small things, but in my opinion they don't contribute that much to the story. Of course that's partially because of this game only having 3 episodes, whereas the first game had 5. There's just not that much time to get a really big story going, which I think is a real shame since I'm a sucker for a good story.

Then, the characters. At first I didnt't like playing as Chloe, but after a while she started to grow on me. I feel like I can relate to her more than I could to Max. You just see more of Chloe's family life, which I think plays a big role in relating to a character and understanding how they see the world. For me, this is a big part of Life Is Strange's gameplay, because I try to make the choices the characters would make, not the ones I would make. Max just... didn't feel relatable the way Chloe did for me.

All in all, I did really like the game, but not as much as the first one. Guess I'll have to wait and see what episode 3 brings.

Wasn't sure about the game at first, it seemed kind of boring to me. Some friends kept telling me to play it anyways so I did, and soon had well over 50 hours in it - which doesn't seem like much, but for someone dedicated to school it is. The game is very easy to play, has great music and is very addictive overall.
I highly recommend playing this game, but be warned: it will suck up your time

"Faith please..." - lots of people throughout the game. I mean the mechanics can be a bit nazi-ish sometimes, but the gane is from 2009, so I won't complain.
Looking at the entire game, I like it (so far, haven't completed it yet when writing this). Though the bright red can be obnoxious sometimes, and escape routes hard to find. I like the story and animations when starting a new chapter, and I pretty much recommend the game. Just give it a try!

So, I personally bought this game not knowing what to expect, but it looked pretty so I got it. Definitely not disappointed by the art, music and basic concept of the story, though the ending was a bit... sudden. I do recommend this game, but don't expect hours of intense gameplay. If you want some time to just sit back and walk around in a colourful world, I'd definitely buy it, since that's exactly what I did.

Note: the crows and the rain annoyed me SO much! The rain because it just... erased all the areas I had explored and the crows (and cats later on) because usually Rae would just stop walking and not move.

Another note: too bad you can't go back to previous areas, I'd have liked to have the entire area explored and visible (hence the annoyance by the rain) before moving on to the next one.
