Not sure if it qualifies as a RPG or even a video game, but in my opinion Life is Strange was/is something special. The atmosphere is unbelievable and the soundtrack is spot-on.

In short, everybody who has a PC should play this "interactive movie."

It's a 3D visual novel or a 3D point&click adventure game (depends how you loot at it).

Lifespan (time to finish it)?

I finished it in 12 hours, but I didn't explore all the "paths/discussions" and I played DONTNOD Remember Me first which shares a few mechanics with Life is Strange which might have speed up a few section of the game.

I did do both endings though. I can't say which one I prefer, but I'm not sure how they can make a sequel considering those endings…unless we have totally unrelated characters.

This is a surprise. First one was a relaxing, more engaging type of TellTale game with better mechanics( well, at least without the damn QTE's).
Surprised how it ended up selling well...adventure game playing as highschool girl ( though this explains why rune loves it :p).
Hope they go here with better engine and facial animations/lyp sync this time.

I never enjoyed this type of game before, going all the way back to the 1980s, but I enjoyed Life is Strange a whole lot. I also very much enjoyed their other game Remember Me which was a mix of different game styles, with some Batman Arkham style combat mixed in.

A good interactive movie experience, really (even though the endings were both "meh").

I just couldn't get in to the game... For me the big turnoff was that it was about teenage girl in a high school. :/

I don't care about protagonist's gender, years or species (ummm, okay, it mustn't be a DA:bear), but there is another thing.
Decent length, if I understod correctly it's also a decent story, but I'm kinda picky when it comes to genre. Is it drama or romance? Or it's a horror/thriller/crime? See... I can't stand plain drama.

Romance is optional (there is two options, although you aren't really told they are romance options, it's all dependent on your dialogue choices). Some of the drama is dependent on your choices, some is plot relevant. I wouldn't call it an happy story, there is some funny moment.

The plot focus on two things: Max (the PC) friendship with Chloe and resolving a murder
that turns into a gruesome serial killer case
. I personally though it was a decent length for the genre.

So it's a murdersolving friendship with possibility of romance? :D
Okay okay, wishlisted, there'll probably be enough of time to play it some day, I guess some time before it's sequel gets released so I can decide to buy the next game or not.

Ehhh, you're misleading Jox here. More like one of those highschool TV shows that your sister can't stop talking about and has plastered posters all over the walls, with some supernatural/mystery element.

It's not a long game.
According to Steam, it took me 21 hours.

For sure many players here love video games in general and you need for loving click and point adventure games.

This give them a lot of margin to destroy almost all RPG released with few exceptions.

For a fan of RPG video games as I am that toxicity is not only very hard to accept, but if I was listening the toxic voices I wouldn't play much more video games.

But I'm a fan of RPG, it's not obvious there's there many in this forum, at least the hateboys make a lot more noise.
