celo293 Life is Strange: Reunion Review

Coming as a sequel to the terrible Double Exposure, Reunion gains a certain sense of grandeur, and the inevitable comparison between the two games creates a contrast that makes fans’ eyes shine even brighter under the effect of nostalgia, especially for being the final chapter of Max and Chloe. It’s not a bad game, but it gets lost in the number of themes it tries to tackle, ultimately failing to deliver any of them with the depth the franchise had when it was in the hands of DON’T NOD. Unfortunately, Deck Nine’s narrative cowardice is a recurring problem for the studio, and all of this—combined with the awful PC optimization—doesn’t make me feel that a higher score would be fair. We’re in 2026; releasing a product in this state is simply shameful. Overall, I would recommend waiting for a sale before buying it, or at least until the game receives some patches. Life is Strange: Reunion constantly tries to revive the past without understanding what made that past special in the first place. In the end… it never quite gets there.
