    The game has improved its graphics in a way that seems fresh - but not too much. 4K textures, reworked expressions and steady 4k 60fps looked great to me. Although, I had to sit really close to my 4K 50' TV to see the detailed textures. Unfortunately, I saw some minor bugs. Nothing too crazy though. I suffered with hard screen tearing issues. For some reason, the game doesn't have a V-Sync option in the settings. I had to activate it on NVidia Control Panel. Only then the game was actually playable.

    What about the game itself? well, it is an amazing addition to the main story. Chloe is an amazing character. She has been through so **** - her path and choices make much sense when I understand that. She's basically... real. But we already like her. Rachel, on the other hand, had to be too great for the expectations set in the previous LIS. Somehow, she manages to do that. Other characters had an additional screen time here, which made them a little more understandable - in other words: human. An example is David and Nathan. The game opens space to fun theories either and makes us have some fun, even knowing what is going to happen.

    I'd give this game an solid 8, but since is a little buggy - an that could ruin the atmnosthere in some scenes, it's not that fair    … Full Review »

    Wär echt schön Amber und Chloe noch mal zu sehen.

    Obwohl ich es schon kannte ging es mir wieder sehr nahe und war immer noch ganz schön intensiv.
    Mit dem Titel haben sie total ins Schwarze getroffen, es ist wirklich before the storm, LiS ist viel heftiger.
    Aber hätte es nicht gereicht, wenn Amber entführt worden wäre, anstatt was wir in LiS herausfinden?
    Auch wenn sie nicht real ist, zerreißt es einem das Herz, einfach zu brutal was Chloe alles durchmachen musste.    … Full Review »

    TL;DR: skip this one and dust off your original. This is a buggy, messy cash-grab that deserves to not be bought.

    Unfortunately, somehow,    TL;DR: skip this one and dust off your original. This is a buggy, messy cash-grab that deserves to not be bought.

    Unfortunately, somehow, in this case "Remaster" seems to mean: we introduced a swath of graphical and technical glitches into the (brilliant) original that will kill any and all enjoyment you might have had with the game otherwise.

    Literally, there are eye sores like T-Posing Characters in dramatic, emotional cut scenes, "flickering" bugs that are supposed to be a graphical improvement, and other niceties like missing technical features in menus that the original had.

    And to round it all off you won't even be able to realize the improvements of supposed 4K textures outside of searching for them with a magnyfying glass next to the screen.

    This is an abysmal money grab by the Overlords of Square Enix, who seemed to have Deck Nine at gunpoint and rushing them for a quick cash infusion to make up for their failed Marvel Avengers adventure most likely.

    PS: one point for story and engaging you to use your other senses. Fun game: If you close your eyes, you won't see the graphical glitches and will tickle your imagination instead!    … Full Review »
