This game was good. Choices actually had a greay area, even stuff that don't make a difference felt like they needed some thought. Pretty good story. Good writing and dialogue along with good voice acting. though it did have its problems along the way, mostly when it came to the writing and voice acting, felt off at quite a few parts. Episode 1 had most of the problems Episode 2 is where the tried to fix it Episode 3 & on wards is where they pretty much hit the sweet spot and only sometimes it would feel off. the main voice actress was the weakest link ie Ep1 but improved along the way. Ending was....well i won't say but it was good and sad 8.4/10 |

Played ep5 on the night it came out. I agree, I was upset that it ended up being my choices didn't really matter. But the whole game was about learning to accept fate, so it went together really well. Probably saddest part for me personally was, well... To get that phone message from Nathan. Just.. maan.. So all in all, gr8 game. Probably won't play again for the collectibles and all, but yeah. |

She earned me some respect at the end when she was stopped thinking about herself and told Max to put others b4 her. I liked her in the beginning, but.. she just started getting so self absorbed throughout the episodes, I can't deal with people like that. |

Chose Chloe. Fuck the town. The town had lots of gross shit going on and chosing the town would kind of made me feel all I did for her did not matter. Chloe was dealt a bad hand in life enough anyway. Also forsaking whole town for your love makes a beautiful love story. |

For me at least, accepting her death was accepting that any choice is futile and that everything in life is predetermined. Upsetting that kind of ruleset was worth the lives of one town, for me. Max is also not some superhero. She is a teenager with superpowers who messed with space and time to a ridiculous extent, playing god. Through the story, she already sacrificed the wellbeing of Joyce's mother, the life of Chloe's father, etc. It made sense for me that she would make such a decision there. She already had to let Chloe go once(in the alt timeline where her father was alive) and I Don't see her being able to do that again. Not to mention doing that would make all the sacrifices I mentioned before pointless. There are also parallels with the town in Life is Strange and mythos of Sodom and Gomorrah. For me, the destruction of the town is more about nature's retribution against those living there, as that homeless person implied. The town there would eventually run the land dry and I saw the storm as nature's response for that - response to all that Prescott family did, response to the whole photography cult, response to the decay caused by the town. |

Woah, metacritic has some pretty dumb reviews. "OMG, THIS WAS SO TERRIBLE! The story was pretending it was deep when it wasn't, every single character was unlikable, unrelatable and downright punchable and the dialogue was terrible! I mean, Victoria is one of the most unlikable characters I've ever seen." Does anyone else notices several contradictions there? |

Exactly my thoughts also. It just had to be done it def made the most sense. The whole point of the story is that you just have to let go sometimes and you just cant fuck with nature. I can see why people never liked Chloe but she deeply cared for max and did show it through her actions. She's just real stubborn and at times, blind to the point where you really have to go into detail to explain why what she's doing is bad. Like if you tell her not to take the money at the principles office or decide not to shoot frank or things like that then she would act up and throw a fit but at the same time she would show that she cares and appreciates that max is actually a good influence on her. Her past really affected her and the scar her dads death left is big. The closer we got to the end the better she became, the end especially showed how she matured and stopped thinking of herself. |

I was disappointed in the animation of the characters, their face animation and hand gestures. It was pretty off. Someone as big as Sony should have seen it as one critical selling point and put extra effort into it. It was than heavy rain that came in two thousand nine. |

But its not a ps4 exclusive so would Sony give a damn? Its a multi platform game published by square enix. I think they had a low budget so they I'd say they did pretty well with that considering that and the small time frame between each episode. Looked and animated a hell of a lot better than anything TellTale has put out. |

I chose Chloe because I got inspired from thewalkingdeadseason2 and thought it would end with saving both. Yeah, I looked at her going through a teenage phase throughout the entire game being stubborn as balls, calling Rachel a bitch for going out with Frank and not spending time with her. Overall though, both endings are ehh... I'd probably prefer the one sacrificing Chloe as it was better written. Saving her, having em drive through town all smiling n shit.... duh hell? Don't get me wrong peeps, I like her punk aspect but I saw that she just wanted attention and thats somewhat of a boring reason and is really too ignorant and teenagery >_>. |

I didn't like the ending(s). I know there’s a vague nod to the butterfly effect and even chaos theory by Warren, but seemingly no causal link between a teenage girl not dying and spooky bay-destroying hurricanes. I guess if Max's power didn't dictate the final choice, the unexplained supernatural aspect wouldn't be as frustrating, but it does dictate that choice. Annoying af. Also, what was the bay ending supposed to teach Max again? That the world would be better off if she literally curled up in a ball and did nothing? It's like the game can't decide what message it's trying to send. |

Also, what was the bay ending supposed to teach Max again? That the world would be better off if she literally curled up in a ball and did nothing? It's like the game can't decide what message it's trying to send. The endings made sense to me and the effects where explained. Episode 2 with Chloe talking about Chaos Theory was the big one. The blue butterfly was the butterfly aspect where supposed to figure out on our own coz i guess they assumed we'd know about it. The whole thing was to explain in the Sacrifice Chloe Ending was that sometimes is just best to let go and accept the past. Max changing Chloe's fate the 1st time around was already a fight with destiny and that wasn't supposed to happen so the repercussion was the animals dying and it just got bigger with every change that Max made which finally resulted in a tornado. Nature trying to make up for max's mistakes and saving Chloe multiple times was also a sign. Even the alternate reality showed what would happen from messing with time. She brought Chloe's dad back to life but because he was supposed to die, nature took its course and that caused Chloe to get into an accident and was paralyzed from head to toe. She was pretty much a living corpse and I'd say that's worse than dying. The end result was once again, Chloe dying and she asked for it herself this time. That's a big hint. So going back in time to the women's bathroom, back to where it all started and letting Chloe die was the only real way to stop it because she was SUPPOSED to die there. The 2nd ending is just because of the amount of times Max used her power and altered reality, The animals dying and the tornado was formed so not going back in time and letting it taking its course allows it to take all the lives of Arcadia Bay just to make up for the amount of times Max fucked with destiny/nature. So I think when you see them driving out of town, it shows that the appropriate price was made and Chloe was free from her fate and is allowed to live the remainder of her life like everyone else. The 2 big questions however that I cannot wrap my head around is, how did Max get that power and why? Its obviously to do with the Blue butterfly but what exactly? And the bloody Ghost dear too. Wtf was the point in it? It just paraded around and acted as a guide to help out with certain things but wtf was the point in its existence? My guess for all that was it was probs Rachel Amber trying to send a message from other side and somehow manged to connect to Max. Considering how she returned to the original reality and allowed Chloe to die she was able to use her past/future experience to get the police to arrest the sick & disgusting Jefferson and the mentally unstable prick Nathan so Rachel's soul can finally rest in peace and time 7 nature can swiftly and safely move on without interruptions. THATS the shit that we had 0 explanation for and where stuck to guessing and speculating for answers lol |

Max didn't even know that her father died. She clearly regrets leaving her but Chloe keeps pushing it. >The only other person that could replace her ended up disappearing without trace. ehh doesn't mean Chloe has to go all calling her a bitch and hating her momentarily for simply hanging out with Frank. She even started going off on Frank even though she knew that they Rachel was just as important to Frank as she was to her. >No shit she is fucked up.

TL;DR the endings sucked so bad they actually destroyed the whole point of the story. Max has a vision of a tornado before she goes to the bathroom and prevents Chloe's death. But the game says the tornado happens because Chloe should die? Then why does Max have a vision before she gets her power? Couldn't the devs give us an explanation? There was so much stuff going on with the Prescott family and we got nothing. First of all, Nathan had delusions/visions of events happening in the future. The game never explained it. Nathan's father wrote a letter to him saying the family (Prescotts) must fullfill their destiny. This never got explained either. In the barn where you can find the Dark Room, there is a chest containing info about the Prescott family. It dates back to the early 1900s. Yet again the devs only put this info there but did nothing with it. The homeless woman behind the Two Whales can foresee the future. But why? And if she exists in the Chloedead/noTornado world, how can she predict the tornado if it will never come? David has a photo of Rachel Amber, and he says she visited the lighthouse and saw something. This was never explained. The whole game implies Max's power is connected to the Native American graveyard under Blackwell. This is never explained. For example a Native American legend says that if you capture a butterfly and set it free it will tell your biggest wish to God. So when Max takes the picture of the butterfly but let's it "free", it grants Max's wish, to stop Nathan from shooting Chloe. In the dark room Max finds the folders containing photos of drugged Rachel and Kate. And Max says there are way more folders filled with photos of girls who suffered the same fate as Rachel. There are like 20 more folders there. What the hell happened to those girls? Jefferson surely didn't kill them because the news would be all over with missing girls, but only Rachel has disappeared status. It's very unlikely that those girls just woke up, went home and didn't find waking up in a torture porn dungeon weird. So, what the hell happened? In the alternate timeline, handicapped Chloe has a female friend (I can't remember her name). In the canon timeline, you can find a folder with that girl's name on it, meaning she was also a victim of Jefferson. But if Chloe dropped out of Blackwell after she had the accident, and spent the rest of her life in the hospital, how does she know a student from Blackwell? What the hell happened to the shady sounding "I (Frank) and Rachel made a blood oath."? There was no closure on the Frank&Rachel&Chloe thing. Frank sold the drug to Nathan, and he used it to drug Frank's girlfriend. Shouldn't he say something about that? In the canon timeline Frank hates Chloe. But in the "Sacrifice Chloe" ending, he is there at Chloe's funeral looking all sad and shit. Does the whole universe hate poor Chloe? I mean seriously Kate would have definitely committed suicide if Max never got involved in this Blackwell drama, but she saved her using her timelord powers. But Chloe has to die or tornado? Maybe it's because she is an alien in secret? Jefferson shots Chloe in the head for finding the dark room. Kate was literally in the dark room as a victim but Jefferson didn't try to kill her? (yet again another proof that the game has shitty writing) At the beginning of the story you can hear about the Prescotts buying huge amounts of land from native american territory. Episodes later, if you look outside Chloe's window, the old billboard is replaced by the Prescott family's Pan Estate project. Every day, the Prescotts are getting closer to finishing building something (something because Pan Estate is never explained either...) on native american land, and every day the storm is getting closer. If the tornado is a curse of native american origin, it could explain the whole story better. The Prescotts have been destroying the city for centuries (as evidenced by the letter from the early 1900s), terrorising the citizens, so the native americans put a curse on Arcadia Bay. Chloe was key for stopping the Prescotts (since without her intel we would've never found out what happened to Rachel ---> jailing the Prescott family). So when Nathan kills Chloe, a butterfly symbolizing the native americans gives Max superpowers. Chloe survives, and they can start solving the mystery. The homeless woman is implied to be native american (that's why she holds a personal grudge against the Prescott family), explaining why she could predict the future. But fuck that, we have been trying to keep Chloe alive for weeks, so we should just sacrifice her or we get stormed. But everyone else who was supposed to die (like Kate and the homeless woman) can continue on with their lives if Max alters their destiny. Because that makes so much fucking sense. Girls disappear or they wake up after being drugged and all of them were at the Vortex Party or joined the Vortex Club so maybe the two are connected? Nah. The police or the Blackwell security staff never bothered to look into this, and it was so goddamn obvious. Even David, the guy who spied on everyone possible couldn't come to this conclusion. In the canon timeline, you can spot Warren stalking Max if you look outside her window. In the nightmare sequence, Warren's locker is filled with pictures of naked ladies who have Max's head. This clearly hints something is not right with Warren, and Max knows (since the nightmare was all about Max's deepest fears). This was not explained (surprise!) When Max and Chloe arrive at the barn, they note that someone just left. Who? The Sacrifice Chloe ending is horrible. "But it's all about accepting destiny!!!". Then why were other "destined to die" characters allowed to live? You spend the entire game trying to save Chloe only to lose her in the end. If you try to respond to Chloe's flirting (choosing the girl's locker, kissing her, siding with her as many times as possible), Max and Chloe will kiss in this ending. But there was no build-up. In eps 1-2, Chloe flirts with Max like crazy. In episode 3-4, after the kiss she stops giving a shit about you romantically and points out how much she loved Rachel. And then in the ending they are so in love again? lol The Sacrifice Arcadia Bay is even worse, and so stupid. Despite how she acts, Chloe is probably the most emotional of the cast. If she befriends someone, she will never let them go. Look how obsessed she was with Max. In the alternate timeline, William sends a message to Max telling her about Chloe's accident. Max, the little shit she is, responds 4 months later. Two minutes after sending the response, Chloe responds. She is fucking paralyzed, and she still writes a message in two minutes to her ungrateful friend (she was probably making William type but it's still really sad). That's how much she loves Max. Her obsession with Rachel is also obvious. She becomes an emo punk teen because her father dies, and she cannot let go. She is the type of person who doesn't say what she feels, but shows it in another way. She might be rough but I bet she would be the one to save you if you got in serious trouble. ...And then the developers nuked her character development and turned her into a bitch who sacrifices an entire town in order to live. Heck, it's mentioned that the Prescotts built an underground bunker so many people could have survived the tornado. But instead of looking for survivors, she just drives off into the sunset with Max. Max is even worse. You spend the game trying to save others or help them, but in the end you just let them be killed by the magical tornado. Not to mention that Max sacrifices Arcadia Bay for Chloe, that's how much she loves her, yet this ending has no closure on the nature of their relationship (friendly/romantic). The butterfly effect doesn't make sense here. A girl dies and that unleashes a fucking tornado?! What is this, Sodom and Gomorrah? It's not a butterfly effect, it's just random shit. For it to make sense something related to her death should have happened. Like David flipping shit and going Rambo on Nathan and family. There is no way you can connect a tornado and a person's death. At best it's the work of God, but that doesn't count into the butterfly effect. It's like saying if you wear flipflops outside Hatsune Miku will appear and start singing Anaconda ft. Black Rock Shooter. The developers even admitted the Sacrifice Arcadia Bay ending was so shit because they ran out of money. Sometime between the release of ep3-ep5, a leak of a planned hospital ending (probably means that this was the happy ending with Max ending up in the hospital after saving Chloe) appeared on the internet, but it was cut. The characters were pretty good, albeit some of them didn't get nearly enough screen time. Like Warren or Victoria. Chloe was the best, imo. She was relatable. Jefferson was the shittiest big bad ever and the heel face turn honestly felt like the developers pulled it out of their arses because they ran out of money and had to finish the game. Kate was adorable. Max as the heroine was not great but okay. Nathan's character was destroyed because the developers never explained what his mental problem was (or why he had visions of future events). Without his backstory he was just a typical evil jock pulled out from some crappy teenage show like High School Musical. Episode 1 was the best. At this point you couldn't figure out what events will unfold so you were excited. It introduced a nice cast of characters and the plot was promising. Episode 2 was alright. Although I began to notice how the game stopped caring about like 80% of the cast and kept them in the shadows. Episode 3 was just as good as the first. It was pretty damn exciting, had a lot of funny and emotional moments. Episode 4 is where things went downhill. The developers basically dropped 4 out of 5 ideas and only kept the "find Rachel" one. Shit was so predictable and boring, a tree was more exciting to look at. The only reason I didn't drop the game was the alternate timeline. It was really sad and emotional. Episode 5 was the worst. Boring, predictable plot, missed opportunities, shitty endings. Also let's not forget that if you sacrifice Chloe you rewind back and she won't remember the times you spent together. She dies alone, not knowing what happened to her best friend (and possible love interest), not knowing what happened to Rachel, Nathan was never punished for drugging Chloe. Sure, Jefferson and Nathan got arrested but she didn't live to witness the moment. By the way, the "Chloe died, I cried, oh and by the way Jefferson and that other asshole went to jail" type of explanation was horrible. 7.5/10. Had very high potential, half of it (ep1-3) was great while the other half was really bad. The main duo were great characters, although many others didn't get enough screentime. I don't give a shit about graphics but it was certainly not bad. The endings destroyed this game. The (potential) romance was poorly written. In eps1-3 I genuinely believed Max and Chloe will end up together. Then the developers chickened out and nothing happened. Warren was a pretty likeable guy but he has some problems. So basically Choice 1 (Chloe) is destined to die, is in love with the dead (Rachel), gets you in trouble 24/7 and blames others for everything. Choice 2 is a guy who is probably experiencing high school love for the first time (he is 16 after all), so his feelings for you are not that serious. He stalks you and likes watching gore (Cannibal Holocaust) and hardcore porn. And has a folder named 'Max' on his driver. For unknown purposes, so we can only guess... No matter how I look at it, neither choice is good. |

I liked Chloe as a character. She was very realistic. Felt like I was actually interacting and talking to a girl with daddy issues and an inordinate amount of emotional stints. But, she was so well done that I hated her as a person. |
