I was thinking that too. Well, just to wait until the malware is removed from this one just like with Double Exposure. Maybe if SqEnix sees they don't start making money until after performance-harming software is no longer bundled in their games, they'll learn the lesson. (I can dream, at least)

The first 2 games are on GOG, therefore DRM-free. Are they good games?

I've only played through the first LiS "season", it's all right. Gameplay is pretty similar to Telltale's Walking Dead/Wolf Among Us/etc -if you enjoyed those, you probably will enjoy LiS.

If you aren't familiar with Telltale's games, theyre "adventure games". Quotes because they don't really have a "verb menu" or inventory puzzles etc like the traditional point&click adventure games. They're more of a interactive stories with few branching paths/choices, kinda walking-sim adjacent ish.

I'd recommend the Walking Dead or Wolf Among Us over Life is strange, but it isn't bad either.

Walking Dead did not get me as didn't the Borderlands one. But Telltale's Batman and ESPECIALLY Wolf Among Us are great.

I guess it comes down to the writing quality.

Telltales Batman is on my TODO list, gotta get on that. IMO the first TT Borderlands was fairly fun, haven't touched the second season.

It's been several years since I played LiS, so the details of the game are a bit hazy. I recall it feeling bit lame on the beginning, but it did ramp up quite a bit towards the end. The beginning was (mostly) some school drama, like some girls acting like absolute brats and dealing with that.

The first episode is free on steam, btw. If you're on the fence, try it out before purchase.

Would I get to the good part within that Episode?

You‘d get the gist of it. It‘s a classic. If you wouldn’t get on with the vibe of the first episode, ramping it up won’t be much help.

I honestly can't remember where the episode ended, as it has been several years since I played it. Sorry :/

It does have the bratty schoolgirls being bratty, but it isn't the entire episode.

Writing quality and general theme. Among those four titles, you've got zombie apocalypse, space western, Batman, and an urban fantasy retelling of fairy tales. Taking Borderlands for example, if nothing about the Borderlands franchise interests a player, it's unlikely the Telltale one will either. It's not impossible, but I wouldn't put money on the odds.

I came at it as a Borderlands virgin, but it struck me really as poorly written compared to the other titles, almost as much as their Monkey Island and Sam and Max titles (both franchises I love otherwise).

I personally liked LiS a lot while I absolutely hated Walking Dead so your mileage might vary. It really depends on the kind of story you want to read.

First game was really good, great music and interesting story. Only thing I didn't like was how the ending works. Perfect game to introduce someone to gaming

Nothing with Denuvo will ever get my money.

Same, i'll settle for playing AAA multiplatform games on console if it means never having that shit on my PC, i'll take the performance and graphics hit gladly.
