Life Is Strange seems unsure how to resolve its up-and-down emotional journey through the hardest point in protagonist Max Caulfield’s life. By Episode 5, Max is a changed person, hardened and frantically fighting for what she believes in, no matter the cost. The final episode, Polarized, puts her through a traumatizing gauntlet. The harrowing events of Episode 4 leave her captive and grieving, and the series finale capitalizes on her desperation with catastrophic results.
The unpredictability and danger of her time-rewinding power not only throws Max into undesirable timelines, it also begins to break her in ways that made my heart ache in good and bad ways. Guilting text messages from a dog and a dead girl haunt her bizarre nightmares, which involve both an infuriating and out-of-place instant-fail stealth sequence and terrific moments of empathy for certain characters. I’m confused about what this series wants to be, but I appreciate a lot about what it had to say about friendship, sacrifice, and remaking the past.
