[The winner of this award was Life Is Strange: True Colors]
Hoy there wary travelers, dare thee enter Life is Strange’s magical realms? Dost thou wonder if this empath and her story are exempt from the usual cliches and "hella realistic" teenage dialogue that always happens in these games?
Well, you can all read the title card, yeah of course it fucking won.
There's an embarrassing 50 minute long LARPing segment where the final boss literally bеcomes the game's main antagonist, probably bеcause the developers wanted their playerbase to take reason damage in real life. I'm cringing so hard I've got scoliosis.
As if the indie rock record store your girlfriend works at wasn't enough of a dead giveaway that their games only succeed when it features weed smoking high-minded layabouts. Instead we get a shitty detective story where the big narrative twist, in a move that would make Randy Pitchford jealous, hinges on finding the USB stick of a corporate shill.
I honestly think I might be an empath too, since I felt the frustration of the protagonist when she survived getting shot in the head and fell 50 feet down a mine shaft, a feat that made everyone who played the game say, "What in the god damn?!" Oh wait, that’s just the frustration from having to play through this meandering, pandering, shallow mess of drivel spewed out from some 24 year-old's Kotaku article.
I've seen this game's true colors, and when they're not bland, they're downright shit.
