It hurts me to give this game such a "low" rating, because back when I first played it, Life is Strange shook me to the core with its heartwarming and heartbreaking coming of age story, its dramatic characters, and the emotional rollercoaster that is this journey.
Unfortunately though, this "remaster", at least its PS4 version (played on PS5), is so bad that it really did a disservice to the original game. While Deck Nine apparently recreated the character models and animations, the adventure is plagued by animation glitches, weird lighting issues and outright crashes, which prevent any proper immersion for a longer period of time. Even the sound sometimes glitches out, which is just a real shame.
I would urge anyone to play Life is Strange and sit through this emotional rollercoaster, but I can't recommend the remaster in good faith. Better play the original game, even if the characters look dated.
