Just finished episode one and here are some quick thoughts.
This is very much what you'd expect from an adventure game, with great characters held together with an interesting story. The rewind mechanic is executed well, playing a role in the story very nicely and it lets you check out the short term outcome of a decision without really having to make it.
Once the episode is finished you can load back up the different parts in a collectible mode and find some photo op moments which you might've missed during your play through. All the trophies/achievements are connected to finding these ten hidden moments and taking their photos. None were particularly difficult and some make use of your "powers."
Only being the first episode I can't really go into how much the decisions can effect the story but I'm not really expecting too much of a huge impact.
For me the script stands out really well, with a few pop culture references in thrown in here and there to add some life to the characters. Some of the dialogue thrown around is a little forced and distracting at times, almost like they're trying to hard with lines like "for cereal?!" but it doesn't take too much away and reminds me of teen movies from my childhood.
Overall an impressive first episode, slow paced but interesting enough to keep me holding on for six weeks till episode 2 is out.
