I played the original. It's a good game. Incredibly interesting story. Lots of emotions, characters well thought out. I'm just terrible at finishing any game, so I never got far.
Oh man, you mean you didn't get to the twist! That game takes an insanely dark turn.
First one really was peak. I like them all though
I didn't like how they replaced the "snap a quick pic" mechanic with a "sit down and pres a button over and over again to draw a scene" aspect of the second one, but the stories have all been good.
The twist in the first game where
Tap for spoiler
your favorite teacher teacher turned out to have a torture/rape dungeonTotally agree. The first game mechanics were best.
The writing is by far the best, too. It’s a bit cringe in a clever, “yeah, I was definitely cringe in high school too” kinda way. No super painful moments, just fun/funny and sometimes mega dark. The games get more and more painful as they go on… the second game was blah, true colors was mostly pretty painful dialogue- and story-wise, and Bloom and Rage was hilariously bad, like comically horribly bad. All of the characters were horribly written and had insanely bad dialogue.
I really need to play Before the Storm! I’d also happily replay the first game… I played it near when it came out, with my partner. We both really enjoyed it.
Before the Storm is probably the least bad out of all of them, but probably because it wasn't made by Dontnod IIRC.
But really thats just calling it the shiniest of the turds, or first place loser. LiS has never matched the peak of the original game.
I first played the original up to a critical point where failing leads to a certain character's death. I KNEW the right response but mis-clicked and had the outcome I was trying to avoid. I put the game down for months and didn't come back to it until after a big break-up. I played again from the start, got the good outcome for that conversation, then was an emotional wreck after beating the game. I've got fanart of Max on the wall right next to me because that was one of my favorite gaming experiences of all time.
Still haven't finished Before the Storm though. I get a little sad any time Chloe talks and it's not Ashly Burch's voice.
