I had graduated from university in the UK, traveled back to the US, and was trying to figure out the trajectory of my life. If the above section talking about the way the series ties itself back around to the original theme of that first few issues doesn’t indicate to you I loved Life is Strange: Settling Dust #4 then I don’t know what to tell you.īack in 2018, I was in a rough spot in my life for a variety of reasons. It might seem improper to devote an entire section of a review of the last issue of the series to talk about my personal experience with said series. It’s the people who made up and make up the town.” Kyle’s Goodbye Or as Max so perfectly says “Acardia Bay isn’t just a place, and it isn’t just the storm. We never forget the past but there comes a time when we must acknowledge it and then move past it to make new experiences that will then become the past.
All of this is to show that life moved on from those horrible events in Arcadia Bay back in 2013, and so now Max must do the same. The Chase Space, the picture from the alternate timeline Rachel and Chloe, the new status quo of Tristan, the relationship of Max and Chloe, Victoria’s redemption, The High Seas being connected, etc. 2022.Įverything comes back to the idea of closure and understanding one’s past actions regardless of what they were. Now, she has to face what that was and make right the best she can. Running was what she needed then, a chance to collect herself and understand why she did what she did. So finally in Life is Strange: Settling Dust #4, Max is in her original universe, together with her Chloe, and travels to her Arcadia Bay. But that is not the way the world works, we can run far and wide for as long as we want, but sooner or later everything circles back around again. Over the course of several volumes, Max has attempted to understand, justify, and at times forget her actions. The series began as an examination of the possible ending to the original game of sacrificing Arcadia Bay to save Chloe. It is a time of both happiness and sorrow for our wonderful group of characters and each one gets time to consider the road behind and the road ahead.
Life is Strange: Settling Dust #4 brings the multi-volume series to a close, and quite fittingly we end it in a way that echoes the main theme of the first volume: closure.
