Life Is Strange was a hit when it was initially released back in 2014. It was a fantastic example of an episodic game. Since then, several follow-up games have been released, exploring other characters and stories. With the recent Remastered collection released, you can now replay both the original Life Is Strange and its spin-off series Life Is Strange: Before The Storm. The first Life Is Strange Game focuses on Max Caulfield, a shy photography student who discovers she can rewind time. She must tackle everyday struggles, reuniting with her old friend Chloe Price and the consequences of her time-traveling shenanigans. At the heart of the game is a missing person case that you hope to find the answers to. Before The Storm is set three years earlier, exploring Chloe's relationship with Rachel Amber, the missing person from the first game.

There are many photo opportunities within the scenic locations of Life Is Strange. It can be quite a beautiful, relaxing game between the more serious storylines during the downtime. It can be easy just to get swept up in the story and focus on the big mysteries of the narrative. But, you should also remember that Max is a photography student. She has a keen eye for spotting beautiful or at least interesting moments. You'll spot these when hovering over such a moment, as the game will prompt you to take a photo.

Make sure to check out a guide on where exactly every photo opportunity is. Some photo opportunities are only available after certain decisions have been made. For example, there's a window that will only be smashed if you manage to warn someone about a football heading their way.

4 Talk To Everyone You Can

The core of the Life Is Strange games is its conversations. There are plenty of people to speak to, each with their own backstories to learn about. Sure, not everyone will be entirely relevant to the main storyline, but be sure to talk to everyone you see rather than rushing past them. The games are filled with many memorable quotes, so it would be a shame to skip through conversations.

By interacting with everyone, you'll be able to notice subtle details or clues that will give you further insight into the characters you meet. Something someone said in a throwaway comment could help you out later down the line. There's no pressure with picking the wrong dialogue options either. You can just rewind and try again if you say the wrong thing.

Life Is Strange is filled with tough decisions you must make, especially in the game's final moments. The game is all about choices and the consequences of those decisions. This ranges from smaller moments to quite significant ones. These decisions will also often carry on between all five episodes.

Max's input into the lives of those around her can have serious consequences. When you are interacting with everyone, you should really consider what the aftermath might be because of your conversations with them. This game has a very character-driven story, so your relationships with the secondary characters will always play a big part in how the story progresses. This will call for multiple playthroughs if you want to see how each character's life shifts depending on your decisions.

1 You Can Only Rewind So Far

Life Is Strange is a fantastic time travel game, but this doesn't mean you can rewind constantly. Max's power is quite draining for her, so there is a limit to just how far she can reset things. The spiral in the corner of the screen will indicate how far you can rewind, highlighting key events you can jump back to as well. But, going too far will make Max dizzy and disorientated.

The main cut-off points are when you leave for a new location. You must make sure you are happy with how events have played out before moving on to somewhere else. There will be no going back after it. There are also keep points in the story in which Max will find it impossible to rewind at all. So, while it is fun to explore every possible path, make sure to be aware of that spiral in the corner of the screen to see just how far you can go. Your decisions have consequences, after all.
