Hey, hey! It's Tuesday, so the time for another gaming post has come!
I only have 2 more posts to make about my playthrough of Life is Strange: Reunion before this series comes to an end, so I am still thinking whether I should keep this kind of posts, but with other games I am playing lately or not. If you have any thoughts, don't be shy to share them in the comments!
As for today's episode, get ready to cry, lol!
Obviously, it really depends on whether you are an emotional person or not, but a thing that was never missing on my end when playing any of the Life is Strange games before was the tears at the end of the story. Sometimes it was because of the endings which turned out not to be the bests I could get, while in other cases the crying was caused by the extreme plot twists and jumps from one emotion to another. Either way, this is definitely going to be one video to remember!
As things didn't end the best in my previous post and video shared on here, the action continues from where it was left, namely, to see Chloe being stuck in large flames. The biggest surprise comes on Max's end, where she was confident she managed to stop the fire by confronting Vinh right in time before creating a chemical explosion, but then it's needed to face the flames slowly capturing the whole Caledon University.
That was the moment when the time spent finding the right words was simply missing, turning into a test to do all the steps needed to save people on time. Nevertheless, I got a lot of tension on my shoulders since I was hoping to see the fire being stopped, but it turned out to be impossible, making me get emotionally ready for the loss of Chloe and Moses.
That was also the time when I had to quickly figure out all the steps needed to be taken while still being outside the Caledon University to rescue people and prevent the flames from spreading. This, not only that, added some extra pressure, thinking that I could easily miss one of these steps, but could also make me feel guilty if I didn't manage to save everyone.
Once I managed to do everything I could from the outside, it was time to finally meet Chloe and Moses and catch up with a very emotional dialogue between Max and Chloe when another disaster is about to happen... to have the building collapse from the powerful flames and an explosion throw Chloe off the balcony, making you feel that you couldn't actually save her.
That was also the moment when I got tears rolling down my cheeks, trying desperately to rewind time as Max and bring Chloe back on the balcony before the explosion would happen, the action also affecting Max's health a lot, causing the bleeding she got before when she was using her powers too much.
I heard many people took this moment as it was, without trying to rewind time over and over again, which would have also resulted in Chloe's death, but I am happy I decided to try my best, as it came with a happy ending after all. One full of tension, tears, and emotion, but definitely a better one than what others got.
Also, in this case, the playthrough is quite long because right after Max manages to save Chloe, they both walk into Snapping Turtle Bar where everyone who survived the fire is in there and have conversations with everyone. Sadly, I did not manage to save everyone as I planned, but let's say that I did not make it too bad either, so I think it was a decent pre-ending.
Anyway, I am going to share two more videos in the upcoming posts with the actual ending of the game, so don't miss them. And don't forget to let me know whether you managed to save Chloe or not, and how that scene made you feel! It still gives shivers going down the spine over here!
