Life is Strange
Life is Strange takes a different approach to episodic adventure games than TellTale does. Instead of constant story beats and at least some form of tension, Life is Strange chooses to focus on creating an atmosphere. This happens to be a very relaxing, very calm, mellow one. This helps you simply soak in the small town of Arcadia Bay and just revel in all the complex relationships between the different characters who subvert stereotypes.
Add to this a story that really goes dark, dark places and handles them surprisingly well for a medium as immature as video games are often seen as, as well as just a fantastic relationship between player character Max and her best friend Chloe. Life is Strange has a lot of flaws: the end is pretty crap, the writing is occasionally stilted, plus a lot of petty little things. That said, Life is Strange has heart. Everything feels heartfelt, and even if it didn't, the sweet little moments, and the relationship with Chloe would definitely be good enough to put Life is Strange on this list.
