Life is Strange Episode 1 Chrysalis on the PS4 is an interesting adventure game that mimics a TV series and uses player choice as the catalyst quite well

The ends truly justify the means.

Deep; astounding music; introspective

Incomparable story; Chilled atmosphere; Shocking moments; In-game details; Soundtrack

Might be boring for someone
