Second review also up, this one is from Metro. Iirc, they liked episodes 1-3, however they gave Episode 4 a 6/10. Hopefully their opinion is uncommon, although I have noticed that the fourth episode of a lot of episodic games tends to be the weakest (TWAU, TWD S1 & 2). Hopefully this trend doesn't continue with LiS.
Here's the summary of their review:

A hugely disappointing penultimate episode, but if you enjoyed the first three it’s still nowhere near enough to put you off from following things through to the end

cancel the vaca and head on home kid

Maybe the distance is too great or he's not alone. "Sorry everybody, I need my gaming fix, we're going home." Next thing he's in the doghouse.

I cancelled the vacation. Eh, I could always fly back out here again, I only have one chance to play LiS on release date.

Spoiler

JK, but I hope you guys enjoy the fourth episode .

 

[BY2K]

God damn it, this episode is so depressing so far.

 

[Lightning Count]

15 minutes to go, download faster, damn you.

 

[matrixman92]

So 4 more minutes for Xbox one?

 

[Gambit61]

Holy crap. If I didn't log into steam just now I wouldn't have noticed ep 4 was coming out now.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

This is one slow download.

 

[ShadowOfTheIco]

God damn it, this episode is so depressing so far.

How so?

Depressing as in The Feels. Or depressing as in 'what are the developers doing'?

The US usually gets games a day ahead, so now you get to see how it feels for us Europeans most of the time.

[BY2K]

Holy fucking shit.

No. I can't.

WHAT.

NO.

Holy shit, Dontnod.

 

[Lightning Count]

Holy fucking shit.

No. I can't.

WHAT.

NO.

Holy shit, Dontnod.

If this what I heard it was rumoured to be, there's a good chance I an going to.he in tears when I am finished this episode.

I did hear about a rumoured spoiler which is a real gut punch if true.

 

[shinn623]

Holy fucking shit.

No. I can't.

WHAT.

NO.

Holy shit, Dontnod.

Sounds like you beat it. Exactly my reaction. Who would have guessed right?

 

[Luigi87]

OMG, I figured out why the game wouldn't load for me... But I don't know why!

If I set my Default Speakers to my Headset, as I planned to play with that on, the game crashes trying to load.
If I have the Default Speakers set to my PC's speakers, the game loads fine.

 

[Brandon F]

Sounds like another happy episode ending?

 

[BY2K]

Sounds like you beat it. Exactly my reaction. Who would have guessed right?

No, it's not even that, I'm barely half an hour in.

Just... holy shit.

 

[Karak]

Honestly this is next level storytelling and thats not hyperbole. Already it was but...damn.

 

[Flandy]

Sounds like you beat it. Exactly my reaction. Who would have guessed right?

If he's where I think he is right now then he hasn't finished it yet.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

So it's on US Xbox One tonight but no US PS4 for almost another 23 hours?

*Pokes head in thread*

Is this worth checking out? Looking for something to play and I'm between this, Journey (don't hurt me, PS4 is my first Sony system) and Ethan Carter. GAF, Some guidance would be appreciated.

It's a top contender for my GOTY depending on how they tie it all up in Episode 5. I think this game would fit in nicely with the other two you mentioned.

 

[Chucker]

Yasss, dl'ng on Xbox One now, ToO will have to wait.

 

[Lightning Count]

Here we go, it's installed.

I'm live on twitch, for anybody interested.

Journey is a must imo if you're interested. One of my favorites of all time. If for whatever reason you can only get one though this would last you longer.

Oh good to know. I won't say anymore then until more people have beaten it. i'll save my discussion for then. Enjoy it

It's out? Finally! Time to bail on the thread after reading the OH MY, NO WAY posts lol. Cya on the flipside.

 

[Labrys]

Steam told me it finished downloading but when I went to play it sent me to pay for Dark Room, it turns out Steam just needed to be reset. Waiting anxiously for 4 to download now!

 

[Caffeine]

To those staying up to play at midnight, hope you enjoy Episode 4! Looking forward to reading all your reactions.

I've updated the time zone graphic to be a little less confusing:

maaaaaaaaannn.

 

[BigBadGiantHand]

Thanks for the input! Despite protests from my wallet, I bought all three. On average, how long is each chapter?

 

[-Kees-]

Edit: Never mind got it working.

 

[AdaWong]

OMG

 

[Kouriozan]

Holy shit,

Spoiler

did she really ask that?!

Damn, and it's only the beginning.

 

[chrominance]

Thanks for the input! Despite protests from my wallet, I bought all three. On average, how long is each chapter?

About 2-3 hours each. I just started episode 4 and have put in almost 9 hours so far.

I'm considering bailing on the Tetris run in SGDQ 2015 to play more but on the other hand that first portion was INTENSE so I could use a break.

 

[Rarius]

Videogames don't make me cry. Life is Strange has made me cry, and I'm only about 45 minutes into this episode, I've probably cried twice.

What is wrong with me.

 

[Dust-by-Monday]

Does the game get any better? I'm on episode 2 and I'm so bored. I don't really care about all this high school drama crap.
