I don't know why, but it made me cry. I walkthrough Life Is Strange a year ago, and it is my favourite game now. The whole year passed, and it is like it was yesterday, when I clicked "Start game". I am so fascinated until now by this game. The soundtrack, the plot, the graphics, the characters. And this video reminded me of all feelings I felt, while playing LiS, so I started crying. It is just... Overwhelming. UPD: 6 years have passed since i've finished Life is Strange, and i still can't get over it. i replayed it multiple times, and i still come back to it time to time. i guess this game just engraves into your soul.

[@bobstrongbad]

Played it back in 2018, been thinking about it a lot lately (not the first time). "i guess this game just engraves into your soul" that stood out because I've been saying it stained/marked mine, whatever they tapped into in this game, it's hauntingly powerful. It's unlikely, but if you haven't played LiS: BtS, especially the Farewell DLC, my god, do yourself a favor/disservice and ruin yourself all over again.

[@fridaaa0]

I relate to this so much

[@nabeelahmed9892]

I played this games in 2018 still i feel it everyday

[@Josh_Woodford]

Ah. It's so good to be sucked back into this world. My game of 2015. Cheers, Andy!

[@kira-wu4qu]

when you transition from the 'good' to the 'bad' of LIS I get so emotionally stirred in the best way possible so thank you

[@lamp-films5515]

i'd love to live in arcadia bay. it's such a lovely place, blooming with life. so peaceful.

[@ArthurMorgna]

Life certainly is Strange.

[@BrianCheng24]

Beautiful music, beautiful scenery, beautiful story, this game was just amazing.

[@Alexei1950]

You forgot beautiful quality

[@toureiro]

Loved this game! Now I really want to listen to it's soundtrack!

[@frangip6]

This place looks really familiar, and I felt really nostalgic when I finished Episode 5. I don't know how to explain... I love this game 🦋❤

[@quinnreverance611]

Oregon is one of the most beautiful states, I want to go there some day!! 😍😍😁😁 Love from NZ

[@CryingLeo]

It's really unexplainable how this game made me feel after playing it. At that time, must be in mid 2016, I was 11/12 years old and a typical First-Person shooter player. At that time I saw that the Episode 1 was for free on steam, for some reason I thought "why not" and downloaded and played it. It was so beautiful and good that I bought the rest of the game and finished it in the couple next day. Crying my eyes out at the ending and watching gameplay of big youtubers I liked, who did a Let's play on that game at release. To this day I couldn't get myself to play this game one more time, because I well know it will crush my heart at the end. Nonetheless it's the most wonderful and beautiful game I was ever able to play, aesthetic, music and story wise. I am grateful for DONTNOD making this game. There are always moments in my life, where I think of this game or listen to some of the music that have a big impact in the game, which give me instant flashbacks and goosebumps. LiS 2 and Before the storm I did watch as a Let's play, but sadly haven't played myself. The 3rd LiS I started watching as a Let's Play but didn't finish. Still a wonderful world that got created for us, who one way or another come to play those games

[@muzik6751]

Nathan's room... I couldn't understand it first time playing, but when I played it again... Gives me chills

[@ArcherAC3]

Finished the game in about a week and still didn't get over it! Thanks so much for this, it was so well done and brought back all those (mostly sad) emotions. No idea how I hadn't heard of your channel sooner.

[@Ovtsider_dsb]

it make me feel like I'm playing the whole adventure again... Woaw !

[@gouravdhwn]

Played this game back in 2018. Still can't get over it. Every once a while i just hop over and play main theme music and just sit into the gloomy evening 🪼

[@johnbartholf777]

The entire soundtrack is so awesome that I have it on all my playlists!

[@murpeet5001]

The best part of the game really is its unique atmosphere. Thanks for this video, it's exactly what I was looking for.

[@tinysophie2566]

Can you please make an ‘Other Places’ for life is strange 2??!!

[@RunnerTK]

So many great moments, so many tears - this game is still outstanding and overwhelming!

[@azaraxy]

i started bawling when i saw kate.

[@Das0s]

srsly how are your videos so emotional and evocative

[@igordiklic2485]

Loved this beautiful game!! So emotional. Super video as usual, thank you.

[@migaDbr]

Hello! I would like to thank you for the awesome work you do here. The beautiful shots in this video have served as reference for a LIS-inspired painting I'm currently working on. I'm not an amazing artist and it sure won't look like an exact copy of the frame that inspired the painting, but it's been a blast to work on so far, and it's all thanks to the work you did. So, thank you very much for all the help!

[@Das0s]

OH MY GOD THIS ONE IS SO PERFECT. You do such good work andy

[@petroslinna]

I am about to play this game (just got it installed). Good timing Andy, keep it up - I really appreciate your work.

[@MegaNussen]

[@mothcub]

Oh man, this is so great!

[@renealbrechtsen9743]

I'm really curious about how these are done...

[@Th3DutchZombi3]

+René Albrechtsen Same would realy love to know :)

[@sebastianschuberth3825]

+René Albrechtsen They probably used the console commands to enable the free camera. Just google "life is strange free cam" and look at the first 4 results, but beware, the camera is rather hard to control and it takes some practice to make some good screenshots/clips.

[@Th3DutchZombi3]

Thanks Sebastian !

[@otherplaces]

+René Albrechtsen I used this mod: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=656832219
