Apart from The Legend of Zelda games that I played in my childhood, I played Sable over a year ago and it made a huge impact, I still think about it today.

Life is Strange.

That game is deep and the way it builds the characters and their relationships is honestly fantastic.

I legitimately found myself caring for Max, Chloe and their friends. When Kate killed herself because of my choices and neglecting her I felt dreadful.

But nothing hit as hard as that final choice. Do you go back to the beginning and let Chloe die to save the town, but lose her? Or do you let the town get destroyed and potentially lose everyone else you care about, but keep Chloe alive?

I legitimately was astounded by how difficult a choice it was to make, it really had me considering all the possibilities, all the downsides and upsides.

In the end I went back and allowed Chloe to die and honestly the ending was heartbreaking. The funeral, everyone heartbroken, the soundtrack.

No game had hit me on an emotional level like that before. And no game ever has since
