Between the success of movies like Sonic the Hedgehog and The Super Mario Bros. Movie, as well as television shows such as The Last of Us and Fallout, it’s indisputable that we’re in a Golden Age of video game adaptations.
Funnily enough, out of everything being picked for cinematic adaptation, narrative decision-based games have been overlooked… with one big exception.
2015’s Life is Strange, the acclaimed graphic adventure game developed by Dontnod Entertainment and published by Square Enix, is getting an official adaptation from Amazon Prime Studios, and they just cast their two main characters.
Life is Strange is one of the best-known and most successful decision-based games.
Truthfully, a little bit of what makes the game so beloved will be lost in the transition to a medium that lacks gaming’s interactivity.
