Life is Strange is a franchise that has a mix of games that are connected and standalone entries. In cases like this, there are generally two orders in which the games can be played: release order and chronological order. However, Life is Strange is a bit unique in that not every game needs to be played in a specific sequence to have the required context for other titles. For certain games in the series, however, playing one before another leads to massive spoilers, making things tricky for new players.
