Life is Strange - Game Review

Life is Strange, a low action, high drama role playing game where every decision have great impact on the games progress, were released about eight month ago. Last week I bought and completed the four released episodes and am now waiting for the last and final episode. The game is about an 18 year old girl art major college student, who after five years is back in her home town, where strange things have started to unfold.
The game starts off with our protagonist finding out she have the ability to rewind time for a short time and undo or redo her most recent actions and now she wants to use that power to help people and solve the mystery that engulf the small town she live in.
I most say that this game is completely hardcore. It takes your brain and emotion and mash them up, toss them around, stab, jab and stew them until you are broken. This game will (as the internet says) take you on a feels trip and you will have to face many hard decisions that may make you wonder about life.
I have this game all over my mind I can not stop thinking about it and I have really strong needs for getting to play the last episode. To see how it all ends and then play it over again to make it all different and then again.
I never thought that I would be so hung up on a game where the only actions you really have to do is talk and rewind. But my soul is crying and I just need more, I just need the end soon.
Everyone who likes great stories and to feel should look into this game. It is fairly cheap with an exceptional story.
This game is getting five out of five stars from me. It was way more than I expected, it showed me a new form for storytelling through games and it have me hooked. I normally have a high indifference towards drugs and drug users, they could never get me to care about them and I would never help them in any way, but this game have gotten me to care for a stupid, idiotic, selfish, intolerant, punk bitch slut of a girl and I am going to find a way to save her no matter what happens.
