Life Is Strange: Before the Storm – Farewell (aka. keep breaking my heart)

This episode gives us the chance to see Chloe and Max’s relationship as best friends, before any of the drama and anger and chaos. There’s mushy stuff, there’s goofy stuff, there’s serious stuff, and there’s a lot of love between them.

I sobbed at the end of this one. Playing through the approximately hour-long bonus episode has lots of cute moments, but the last 10 minutes is where it really hits hard. Everything is happening so quickly and coming to an end, and voice actress Hannah Telle pulls off an amazing performance that’s heart-wrenching. It shattered me. All the feelings of loss and loneliness, of longing and sudden change, of how much love is shared between Max and Chloe, and knowing that things don’t turn out the way they want them to in the end… Max’s farewell is well-written by Ashly Burch, and so well acted, my feelings didn’t stand a chance.

Beautiful and heartbreaking.

Score: 8/10

Life Is Strange: Before The Storm (aka. cruel consequences)

When I played the original Life Is Strange, I didn’t have the highest opinion of the first episode. I found it interesting, but the writing grated me. Do teenagers really talk like that nowadays??? The same is not true for Before The Storm.

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice (aka. masterful mindtrip)

I’d been keeping track of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice since the early trailers, heard the critical acclaim around its release, and had friends insisting I play the game. I wanted to, but I’m a scaredy cat when it comes to games. Solution: I got my fiancé to play it while I watched.

Dream Daddy (aka. more than just a dating sim)

When I first heard about Dream Daddy, I was skeptically enthusiastic. I wanted it to be better than just a dating simulator.

Horizon: Zero Dawn (aka. Game of the Year – of all time!!!)

The game everyone’s raving about 100% lives up to the hype.

Philips SHP9500 (aka. great for the price and beyond)

The Wolf Among Us (aka. Who’s afraid of the big bad werewolf?)

In my attempt to cross some games off my backlog before Horizon: Zero Dawn and Mass Effect: Andromeda release, I jumped on a shorter game to get through: The Wolf Among Us by Telltale Games.
