Why You Should Play Life Is Strange – JK! Games!

JK! Games!

This week we’re doing something a little different – we’re making the case for the Life Is Strange series. If you’ve ever been curious about these games but didn’t know where to start, this episode is for you.
For most of the show we stay completely spoiler-free, walking through what makes Life Is Strange special: its storytelling, themes, music, characters, and why it continues to resonate years later.
At the very end, we shift into full spoiler territory to talk about our predictions for the next entry in the series – which we now know is called Life Is Strange: Reunion. At the time of recording, we had no idea, so enjoy hearing how close (or wildly off) we ended up being.
Whether you’ve never touched the series or you’re already a fan, this is our love letter to one of gaming’s most unique franchises.
