Life is Strange Episode 5 Review Thingy?

Today, let's talk about Life is Strange, an episodic choice-based game made by Dontnod Entertainment.
It's amazing how fast time passes, I can still clearly remember the first episode.


This post will contain spoilers for the game so you should go watch someone's walkthrough or play it yourself before reading this post.



Life is Strange Episode 5 is a really dark episode compared to the previous episodes,why?
Mainly because it shows the choices Maxine Caulfield have made. If you have played or watched all the episodes, you will know that Maxine Caulfield is a human with superpowers, she can rewind time and change her or anyone's destiny. Basically, she has a power that can kill one or save one.

Anyways, Episode 5.
As you know from the previous episodes, Max has changed a lot of fate.

But mainly Chloe's
Since the first episode, Max and Chloe kind of developed a bond and since then Max has rewinded time just to save Chloe again and again.

In the end, you still can't change someone's fate.

Max was in a nightmare where all the friends she helped is mad at her, probably because of how she changed everyone's fate. Why would everyone be mad at her though, shouldn't they be thankful? Nope.
For using her rewinding skills, mother nature used her largest possible weapon to wipe Arcadia Bay clean and yes, it's the ocean.
Max using her rewinding powers supposedly caused a thunderstorm that can end everybody's life.

And that's where the hardest choice comes in;...


You are forced to choose to sacrifice Chloe or Arcadia.. Bay.

Man, I was so happy because I thought there will be a nice ending, but man is this dark.
But nevertheless it's still a great game. 
I am a sucker for these episodic choice-based game, that's why I love Telltale games.
If you like these types of games like me, check out Telltale Games (You probably know this already but).

ALL I'M SAYING IS, LIFE IS STRANGE IS THE FIRST VIDEO GAME TO MAKE ME SO SAD INSIDE THAT TEARS ARE GONNA COME OUT OF MY EYE.
10/10. 

I'm sorry if this seems like a long post, I still need to ask a question.
Do you guys like this kind of reviewing thingy or do you guys prefer something else?
