Life is Strange: Episode 4 - Dark Room Reviews
'Dark Room' exhibits the best and worst of what Life is Strange has to offer
Dark Room finally sets off the mystery but it's the least consistent episode of Life Is Strange so far.
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.
Life is Strange's penultimate episode abuses its own mechanics and drags the pace down, but bookends its slog with two powerful, well-worth-it gut punches.
With just one episode left, I'm both anxious and intrigued to see how it all comes together -- or does it?
Life Is Strange is still a strong candidate for my game of the year but this episode raised a bunch of problems.
An overlong episode, but one bookended with some terrific scenes. The impacts of the tiniest details via time travel are explored and the continuing plot strands about the underbelly of Arcadia Bay take their darkest forms yet. There's a lot riding on the season finale though.
Character inconsistencies and story dead-ends mar an otherwise superb narrative series that is starting to really pay off.
