    Life is Strange Remastered Collection is only good because Life is Strange is so good. The upgrades are nice, but they aren’t evenly applied and sometimes make the game look worse. It also has an inexcusable number of bugs. Life is Strange and Before the Storm are great games, but this collection is lacking. I recommend just picking up the original versions. You can probably find them cheaper than this collection, and they offer just as good an experience. They offer a better experience in some ways.

    Deeply emotive, well written, respectful of player choice, and with a great look and atmosphere, Life is Strange and Life is Strange: Before the Storm are must-haves for anyone interested in narrative-driven adventures that focus more on the characters than the plot itself - even when taking their flaws into consideration. When it comes to the remastered collection, though… better wait for a generous bargain if already in possession of the original instalments, as the upgrades are not that strong, and the package isn't devoid of a few technical issues. If a total newcomer, however, be sure to check it out - although you can expect a bug or two if unlucky.

    Fans definitely expected more from these remasters, while someone who hasn’t gone through these stories before will probably still be able to see what’s great about them - despite the changes the remasters have brought. Without a doubt, the original season of Life is Strange and even Before the Storm prequel, are great adventures, but should be experienced in their original form that is still available.

    Though it's a good entry point for series newcomers, Life is Strange Remastered Collection seems entirely unnecessary for anyone else.

    TL;DR: skip this abysmally buggy "remaster" and dust off your original. It's a messy cash-grab that deserves to not be bought until it'sTL;DR: skip this abysmally buggy "remaster" and dust off your original. It's a messy cash-grab that deserves to not be bought until it's fixed.

    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 »

    Una remasterizacion mas que decepcionante

    Me emocione mucho cuando fue anunciado, luego probe el Life is Strange True Color que iba a ser    Una remasterizacion mas que decepcionante

    Me emocione mucho cuando fue anunciado, luego probe el Life is Strange True Color que iba a ser un adelanto de las nuevas mejoras graficas y de animaciones que iba a traer esta remasterizacion. Pero luego de que se empezaron a filtrar imagenes y despues de haberlo probado, siento que le hicieron una lavada de cara, le pusieron un par de filtros y lo venden a 40 dolares.

    Las mejoras faciales mejoraron, muy poco, teniendo los 2 juegos uno al lado del otro si se ven diferencias pero luego ya jugando la remasterizacion siento que no tiene ninguna mejora con respecto al original, pueden que las mejoras faciales se vean un poco mejor pero nada sorprendente y comparandolo con el LiS True Color quedan MUUY por detras.

    Los escenarios siguen siendo los mismos, tienen un poco mas de nitidez, la vegetacion es bastante densa en la escena del patio de la escuela.

    Me encontre varios bugs, en el capitulo 2 del LiS no funcionan los subtitulos, ademas de que tiene un problema con el audio que los pasos solo se escuchan por la izquierda. Y en el LiS Before The Storm los reflejos de los pircings en las orejas estan bugueados

    A pesar de todo, no le veo sentido que cueste 40 dolares a pesar de que incluya ambos juegos con las minimas mejoras de la remasterizacion, Si no jugaron a los juegos originales, si les recomiendo esta remasterizacion en oferta, pero si ya jugaron a los originales, no gasten su dinero.

    Una verdadera lastima    … Full Review »
