My partner and I played through Life Is Strange over the past few months. I'd heard various things about it, notably divisiveness around the dialog. I totally get why. I felt some off moments, oddly most prominent in random "Look" internal dialog half-jokes. Overall it really worked for both of us, especially when paired with character choices that felt very true to kids dealing with impossible situations.
This makes me want to give Oxenfree another try. It also makes me wonder how much plot and setting influence the "appropriateness" or "natural" feel of dialog.
