Hardcore Gamer's Adnan Riaz writes: "Dontnod, however, showed that it was onto something special with Life Is Strange. It was a runaway success for the studio, eventually moving from its digital-only distribution to physical release and receiving critical acclaim and awards. In fact, after all five Life Is Strange episodes were released, Hardcore Gamer reviewed the season in its entirety and called it “the sleeper hit of 2015.” With success, Life Is Strange has been able to reach new audiences with its prequel, Life Is Strange: Before the Storm, and continues to captivate its ever-growing, influential fan base. Now, Life Is Strange has finally made its debut on iOS — an Android version is expected in early 2018 — and it’s never felt more at home on the platform."
Who would have thought that giving games away for free would be so lucrative?
Spotify Discover? I barely know ‘er.
Less mechanical and more emotional, Life is Strange's framework can be found across dozens of games this past ten years.
I wish it had been more influential within it's own franchise, other than the first game it's been one terrible game after another, at this point it looks like they had a stroke of luck and nothing else. Also, most of what LiS does had already been done on Telltale games about your actions having consequences in the development of the story, the best part was the time manipulation gameplay, that was fantastic, but again it's not too dissimilar of Prince of Persia time manipulation on the original trilogy.
Is this a joke? LiS wasn't a bad game but it didn't really do anything that Telltale hadn't already done before it. And to insinuate that without LiS we wouldn't have gotten Disco Elysium, Baldur's Gate 3, etc, is just ridiculous. I get it, you love the game and that's fine, but don't make it out to be more important than it is. I'm not saying it didn't influence anything at all, it just wasn't remotely to the degree the author is insinuating.
No one at Larian played LIS, they're too busy playing DnD and dueling with fake swords in their sparetime
the og ?
maybe for the time when it came out. but not cause of the possible lesbian romance.
Awesome. Was waiting for a review to see what it was like, might actually pick it up now!
I feel games like this work well on mobile. Hopefully it succeeds well for the devs!
Another platform for people to play these games is always good in my book!
