Unfortunately, this is a lackluster remaster of an otherwise great game. For every good design change or update, there are a couple bugs and blurry textures that bring it down.
As for the game itself, Life is Strange is often a pretty easy target for scrutiny. It's not exactly hard to see why, however. The dialogue for most of at least the first half of the game does reek of 'middle-aged guy writes teenage girls,' but it does improve the more you get invested in the story.
I still have issues with the narrative in parts and the ending choice isn't as developed as it could have been (though I acknowledge that was down to budget), but that doesn't stop this remaster of Life is Strange from being a very solid, woefully nostalgic trip to Arcadia Bay and all the time-altering drama that entails.
7.5/10
