Finished Life is Strange Ep 5 finale
Wow.. Just finished Life is Strange Ep 5.. Amazing episode, brilliant story, and characters that come alive as your are immersed in this fantastic world.
Dontnod have really raised the bar on adventure games and story telling. Kudos.
This episode shines a light on Max's insecurities with nightmarish realities that truly horrify.
From getting Max through a maze corridors whilst being hunted by Jefferson, listening to some really disturbing taunts. To the diner where just about every character has something to say about Max's actions past and present.
Again like the rest of the series the scenes are gorgeous with fantastic use of light, shadow and camera positions. From the stark white in the dark room to the dark and shadowy nightmare realities the game is just lovely to look at.
The voice acting in this episode and the series as a whole was fantastic.
Hannah Telle, Ashly Burch are superb as Max and Chloe and Derek Phillips as Jefferson nailed that psychopath to the point i wished him dead.
Music, well what can you say about the music? Brilliant selection, its one of the big draw cards for this series with each emotional scene complimented by stirring instrumentals and indie/folk vocal tracks. Music i would have never found or listened to prior and now they are in my play list, incredible.
I now need to lay down and process what just hit me.. while listening to the new track by Foals - Spanish Sahara which is brilliant in one of the final scenes.
