it's like minecraft with better graphics, story, and cannibals 10/10

ok kidding aside last time I played there were some bugs but it's totally playable

Got this game as a Christmas gift from a friend, haven't played the bonus episode at the time of writing this

First of all, do not expect this game to be action-oriented, because it's not. It's more of a visual novel or a narrative wherein you get to change some aspects of the story. You probably expect that though if you know the first Life is Strange.

This game was set three years before the first Life is Strange. I can't tell you if you'll get hooked into the story like I was. I personally found this game really emotional. Story felt very realistic and I felt like I was actually inside their world. Script and dialogue in this game was pretty good. There were a lot of hard-hitting lines that can really pierce through your soul. Some cringeworthy angsty teenager lines though but it's understandable since Chloe is an angsty teenager. You also get to know the famous Rachel Amber whom I ended up loving. A lot of other characters were also introduced pretty well. It's up to you if you like these people or not but I personally loved knowing the town folk.

This game looks very similar to the first one. It has its improvements though like the better lip-syncing which a lot of fans hated in the first game. I still think the visuals are beautiful. They're not photorealistic which isn't necessarily bad since that's not what the game is going for.

The soundtrack is truly amazing in this game. They got the band, Daughter, to make music particularly for this game and it fit so well. A lot of scenes were accompanied by music that felt so right. It added emotion to a lot of the scenes. All the voice actors were replaced due to a video game voice actor strike. I don't know much about it though. Chloe's voice actor sounded a bit too awkward for me at times. She did a great job for the most part but I personally prefer the first voice actor. It did make sense though since this voice actor did a great job on making Chloe sound younger. I have no complaints for the other voice actors.

I personally felt that episodes 1 and 2 were amazing and well-paced. Episode 3, on the other hand, felt so rushed. So many things happened in such a short span of time.One could say that since it is the final episode, it has to be more intense than the previous ones but I really wish they could’ve made more episodes. Rachel and Frank's relationship wasn't really shown which was kind of disappointing. They left a lot of questions unanswered which makes the game feel even more mysterious but then for me, it's frustrating. Maybe I just got too attached to the story and characters. I think it's a great game that deals with so many issues. By all means, buy this game. Full price or on sale, I think it's worth it. If you didn't like the first game, maybe don't buy this though or at least wait for a sale.

TL;DR: Great story that'll probably make you cry. Great game overall, not perfect, but still great. Don't buy if you didn't like the first game.

Hard to get good at but really fun to play. Definitely worth the money especially if you get it on sale.

Really fun to play. It builds up so much then the ending just stabs you at the back. Don't play this if you have feelings.

CS: GO is one of the best shooters. You need team tactics to win this game. Community isn't really the best but it's alright. The skill gap is very high in this one. You can't get good instantly. You need to play and play or even watch guides from the internet. Having a mic for this game is highly recommended. You need to communicate with your team to win. I'd say wait for a sale before you buy this game. The in-game items are also a big part of the game. There are knives worth thousands of dollars. Don't open too many cases unless you're incredibly rich hahaha. If you've played the older ones, you have a small advantage.

TL;DR - Really good game but you need to put some time into it before getting good. Don't spend too much money on it.

UPDATE: Community is toxic af and full of cheaters

The game is about investing in businesses. At first it will feel like cookie clicker. You click to earn money and you can buy upgrades. It's really fun but the extra missions to the moon and the angels are very difficult to finish. It will take a lot of time to finish those. You shouldn't play this if you need to do something important. It's just good if you have a lot of free time. I have mixed feelings for this game but I might play more in the future.
