Life is Strange vs Smash Hit
Life is Strange
Life is Strange is an episodic graphic adventure game where you'll get to follow the story of Max Caulfield, a photography student at Blackwell Academy who accidentally discovers she can rewind time when she stumbled upon a murder scene in the academy's bathroom. Soon after, she hooked up with her new friend, Chloe Price, in an attempt to use her gift to solve a string of disappearances around the town of Arcadia Bay.Featuring an incredibly engaging story that has multiple endings depending on the choices you make, the game doesn't only perfectly presents its characters' personalities, but also touches on the so-called butterfly effect that time reversals will cause. The game is also filled with brilliant indie soundtracks that enhance the overall game experience, further immersing you into its story.
Life is Strange can be purchased on Steam and is available in 5 episodes in total. There is also another expansion, Life is Strange: Before the Storm, that's coming soon. You can try its First Episode demo for free as well!
Smash Hit
Smash Hit is a unique and yet entertaining arcade-like game. You will be travelling through an otherworldly dimension where you'll need to break as many glass objects as you can with what seems to be steel ball bearings. The most interesting part about this game though is that everything in the game is intricately linked to the music played in the background as you play. So, this also means that if you happen on a stage where the tune is a lot quicker, you can definitely expect the obstacles to move a lot faster (and hence, harder to aim) too.Bringing its players the stress-release that comes with smashing fragile stuff, Smash Hit is indeed a smash hit on the mobile platform as it has racked up over 100 million downloads over the years. The game is even adapted for the Oculus virtual reality platform (check out Smash Hit VR).
