I've been thinking about Life Is Strange a lot lately. And not just the last episode, which made Sonic Boom look like a finished product. The world and the characters and the details still swim in my headspace. I have good memories of it. There are things I would have preferred to do differently, but I'm also weirdly proud of a lot of the decisions I made in it. While this series does absolutely crap the bed in its' finale, I must begrudgingly admit that it doesn't kill the entire project. It doesn't retroactively make the entire game that came before it pointless and stupid, like The Walking Dead games did.
But I do find myself wondering what I would change about the game itself. The first episode feels like it was written by martians trying to impersonate humans, based only on descriptions they heard over their space phones. The last episode is malfunctioning filler. And the reveal of the Big Bad Guy is spoiled so early in the game, I resented the characters not figuring it out sooner.
And then there's the last big choice in the game. As it is, it's fine. It stopped me in my tracks, the way that Geth mission choice in Mass Effect 2 did. But I think the options I wanted weren't there.
End-Game Spoilers below the break: You've been warned.
