I've played all the LIS games and have been a fan of the series since the original released while I was in college.

For me, I think my ranking of the games is as followed:

  1. Before the Storm
  2. Life is Strange
  3. Life is Strange 3
  4. Life is Strange 2

Not including Captain Spirit because it's really more of a companion title and so short. It's a really close tie for me between the original LiS & LiS 3, as I really enjoyed both.

Before the storm was such a surprise for me and I really enjoyed the way they developed the characters & romance in that title, which makes it stand out for me.

Despite my love & enjoyment of the series, I really couldn't get into LiS 2. I played the whole game, but I struggled my way through it. I did not like the characters or the plot, and only finished it out of a hope that the ending would be worth it.

What I find interesting about Life is Strange is that everyone has a bit of a different experience with the games depending on if the characters resonate with them, what they're personally going through in their life at that time, etc.

I do agree with you that it felt like LiS2 was attempting to be topical, which is where I felt like it fell flat for me.

Whereas the stories in the other games felt a bit more timeless and relatable for most players.

The Life is Strange franchise is an award-winning franchise that is set out to revolutionize story-based choice and consequences games. While incorporating supernatural elements such as powers, the core elements of the franchise created by Don't Nod are the presentation of authentic, relatable characters and relationships as well as tackling real world social issues or complicated subjects (such as loss, grief, depression, bullying, racism, drug use and suicide), and raising awareness for these.

Rules

  1. Be cool. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia etc.

  2. Mark spoilers and NSFW
