    This review is completely spoiler free, except for sections that are hidden using Steam’s spoiler tag. If you’re planning to play LiS: Reunion, I strongly recommend playing this game first, since most of the side characters that appear in Reunion are introduced here. I made the mistake of being influenced by the mixed reviews and ended up playing this much later than I should have. I honestly wish I had played it at launch. Before getting into the actual review, I should mention my personal…

    They butchered Max's character to use her to sell another game. They should've just left her alone and made a new character, or made the story about Max and Chloe after the first game. It's a spit in the face to fans of the original characters.

    I enjoyed my time with the game, but it has some pretty glaring faults. and i will not be buying the upcoming game as it will not have Chole's OG voice actress (Ashly Burch), and i refuse to play it without Ashly's Chole. oh, and the whole "buy the deluxe edition of the game to get early access" for a STORY-DRIVEN GAME was nothing but corpo greed.

    Everyone in this game is so aggressively fake, terminally wholesome, and unbelievably insufferable that even Nathan Prescott - the walking caricature of a rich ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ from the original - looks like a nuanced, genuinely compelling character by comparison.

    Max, can you please rewind time when this cashgrab was written and do us justice? (Pun intended). After finishing the game i had an obscure feeling that the story was not finished and the're so much left to be told. Technically the game is good, well performed face animations, graphics are at high level. The soundrack is awesome, the game has it's own vibe, but we had high expectations after previous games and unfortunately the devs couldn't give us what they've given us earlier, wide range…

    It's a pretty good sequel to the original life is strange. Leans more into the supernatural that's OK with me. Major downside the defaults graphic settings are awful, super blurry. Turning "resolution scale" to ~95% instead of 100% and "post processing" to "high" instead of "cinematic" fixed it, game is unplayable if you don't do that.

    Inauthentic and awkward. The original Life is Strange with Max Caulfield had so much soul. It was charismatic. This one tries too hard to be relevant, meme-y and relatable. The dialogue has that older generation trying to mimic young people feel to it. The music, animation, and setting are so darn pretty but the characters behave in such a shallow manner.

    This game feels worlds apart from the original Life is Strange and even its prequel, Before the Storm. At first, I was skeptical about seeing Max in her “adult” version, but credit where it’s due: her character is handled with care, and that alone makes the experience somewhat tolerable. Unfortunately, the story is downright terrible. It’s riddled with inconsistencies and spirals into over-the-top nonsense by the end, feeling rushed and poorly stitched together. This is especially evident in…

    I've spent the last decade playing all of these games with one of my best friends, and if I was going to go into this game solo, I probably wouldn't have given it a chance. I'm not the biggest fan of Deck Nine's (or maybe, moreso, Square Enix's) decision to disrespect Don't Nod's wish for Life Is Strange to be an anthology series. The repeated revisitation of Max and Chloe has felt almost like fanfiction and the negative reviews for this game further cemented that feeling. Buuuuut... turns…

    Playing this game after the Reunion announcement, the first 4 episodes were fine, building enough tension for the last episode just for it to end on a cliffhanger and throw away every choice you made. LiS and LiS:Before the storm forced you to choose between two contrast options: Bae or Bay/to lie or to tell. Double Exposure does not, which leaves you with an ending that feels unemotional, dissatisfied, even meaningless. This game should have just been a short prequel for Reunion instead of…

    The original LIS is easily a top 10 all time in my opinion. But this... You can definitely tell the OG devs were not apart of this. The writing, pacing, new characters, mechanics and sadly so far even Max herself (which hurts me to say) are just bland. I really wanted to like it but it just does not feel the same. Overall after the OG, BTS and LIS 2, this one just feels wrong on all levels.

(tldr: If you've just finished other games in the franchise, avoid this one to end it on a good note) I…

This game is rushed. 1) The characters is unlikeable, not enough time to getting to know them, no proper introduction to the characters. 2) The crime mystery was interesting at first, but it felt underdeveloped and rushed. 3) The story was a copy and paste of the first Life is Strange 1, but a low effort version…

The story is gripping and captivating - I relished every moment of it. I can understand why some people didn’t like the ending, and while it probably isn’t great, it isn’t terribly bad either. Ten plus hours of pleasure definitely can’t be erased by it. Max isn’t the same, but that’s to be expected. She’s an adult now - a renowned photographer, actually -…

The gameplay is so boring, I got to play true colors before so I kinda knew what I was getting myself into, the developers could've tried something new, the whole game revolves around you walking around, talking to people, inspecting items and occasionally grabbing something, all of that in a very sluggish manner.

There are many unanswered questions, and at the end the characters felt like i honestly wouldn't care if we never saw them again because they lack depth and most are just a*holes anyways instead of having the intricacy of human nature that was displayed in the first two games.

    Whatever magic the original had is long gone. The only talent retained was clearly the person writing the most pointless and cringy dialogue. Also, more importantly, the pacing is off, the feels don't hit, and they make a token character the one that asks you to commit a crime when they just had to get the book off a bookshelf 10 feet away.

The story is short and lack in details, but it's still LiS. No, this game has not ruined the franchise.
