I love the entire Life is Strange series [ESPECIALLY before the storm], the storyline and everything, don't get me wrong. But the mobile version... is not it. The controls are horrible. There's only a tap to move feature in this game. In the first Life Is Strange game, there were options for changing the controls to a joystick but not in this one. Extremely hard to move around and it's also not a good mix with the tap-to-interact function. Glitchy and laggy too. Wouldn't reccomend for mobile.

Great game. Not as good as the first one (-1), really really terrible controls (-2) for this port. This could have been a decent port. Performance is decent, after all. However... The port of the first game has 3 separate control options. This has 1, and tap-to-walk mixed with tap-to-interact is a bad combo. Not being able to adjust the painfully slow turn sensitivity just makes it worse. I lost track of how many times I wanted to interact and it walked halfway across the area.

I really enjoyed the original "life is strange" but this offshoot is riddled with problems. The latest happened today when my saved game became corrupted, and I was forced to start at the beginning of episode 1. I was already on episode 2, so you can imagine that replaying episode 1 would just be tedious. Also the virtual joysticks of the original game were much better for controlling the character, so please put them i to this game. (also, also... let me skip cut scenes that I've already seen, let cutscenes finish before going to a black screen, and remove the white outline around characters.)
