So I am that person who watches other people play video games, and never play them myself. Yeah, it’s strange, but life is strange (heh get it?). Anyway, one of my recent games I watched through is Life is Strange, a game that focuses on a teenager who can control time and must save her classmates and friends from death and destruction.
Max Caulfield is a high school student at Blackwell Academy, a private school in Arcadia Bay, Oregon. She realizes she has the power to rewind time when she sees a her best friend, Chloe, get shot. Her power gets more use while Blackwell becomes a place of drugs, death, and mystery, and a storm starts to brew over Arcadia Bay.
The reason I enjoyed watching the game is because the story is actually pretty complex and has unexpected twists and turns. The graphics of the Pacific Northwest are beautiful, and the soundtrack is good. It’s also interesting to watch how time travel can aid Max, or hurt her greatly.
The relationships in the game are compelling, whether it’s with long time best friend Chloe, Warren the forever friend zoned guy, or the Vortex Club. It’s all a mystery, and just when you think you figured out who the killer is, you get a surprise.
Certainly, you can play the game yourself and get the experience of figuring it all out. I’m not a video gamer, so just watch the play through. I watched PewDiePie’s, because he is relatively quiet so it’s easier to hear the dialogue, and all 5 episodes are up already so you don’t have to wait forever to see it.
What is your favorite video game to watch or play? Leave me a comment letting me know!
I do the same thing and always get made fun of. I love watching others play and enjoy the video game story-I just am terrible at playing. Glad to know others are out there like me!
Awww, this game looks good! I also like more watching other people play games than playing them myself (unless it’s a game that I might really love). For some reason I’m picky. But this one looks like a good one for me 😀
I love games but my boys have taken over the PS! This game looks fun though. Its amazing how far we have come from what we grew up with!
I’d really like to watch this one too as it sounds like a great film/show/story.
I didn’t even know one can watch games!
