Video Review

Ranking:

'Out of Time' looks just like the last episode of course, and that’s a good thing. The visuals are good, with a decent texture quality and some pretty effects. Problems are rare except for an issue where multiple selectable items can clutter up the action button. Heaven forbid I pick up my tablet when what I wanted was the camera.

Audio Review

Ranking:

The voice cast is pretty good and the dialogue isn’t terrible, although the frequent use of the word "hella" makes me wince a lot. Perhaps I’m getting too old. The great music of the last episode has taken a step back, and isn’t heard as much here.

Final Thoughts

'Out of Time' is a step back for the burgeoning 'Life Is Strange'. I can’t see the forest through the trees, so to speak, and this episode had some difficulty in keeping me interested. The first hour or so especially almost lost me. There are enough plot threads to warrant a mild interest for the next episode, but I hope we haven’t already seen the best of what Dontnod has to offer.
