After reading/ playing the game Life is Strange it was something that was different for me. I have never played a graphic novel game before so it was a different experience for me. I have played like story telling/ role playing games before and I feel as though that was sort of similar to Life is Strange in the aspect that Life is Strange you are taking the role of the main character Max and living the life through her and I feel like that is the same as when I played one of those types of games on my phone before. But playing a graphic novel and actually reading a traditional graphic novel to me was different but in a good way because its like I got a different view from it. Meaning that it was just something different to see and it was more interesting to me because I felt like I was actually in the game as Max. Its just something about playing a game is more realistic to me because you are actually doing something whereas reading a novel you are just reading line from line and looking at pictures.
The purpose I got from playing this game through the lens of Max is that even though we are in college we were once in high school and not necessarily gone through what she has been through but its like something that we can relate to whether we have experienced it or has a friend that went through what she did. I think it has an effect on whoever plays it because it is something different and you feel like you are in the game actually experiencing these things that she is doing, helping people and saving her best friend and possibly the school. The meaning I think is that if not all but some of us can feel for Max and understand what she is doing and relates to people because like I said we were all in high school once and some people might of had the good heart that Max has by trying to help others.
