BacklogCritic: "Games with strong focus on story and less focus on gameplay mechanics usually leave a strong impression despite the lack of action. Cutting back on action sequences leaves space for dialogue, exploration and emotional experience. Listed here are six games in this style that we enjoyed, in no particular order."
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.
wow, I thought Tales From The Borderlands was better than The Wolf Among Us, shhh even batman was better than that. I don't see Beyond two souls OR Heavy Rain on here that's crazy this list is crazy. Life Is Strange & What Remains of Edith Finch are the only good picks.
I would put Until Dark on the list.
