    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'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,
    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'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!

    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

    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

    In my opinion this remastered collection it's perfect and well done. It's hard nowadays to remaster old games and Deck Nine did a great job! Don't know why is DONTNOD included on this profile page if they doesn't work anymore with Square Enix and with Life is Strange.

An really true Life is Strange fan doesn't care about the graphics but only with the story. Some people are expecting a hole new game from a remaster when it's not that objetive... It's not an 10/10 now because need some patches to fix some bugs. If you are a true life is strange fan you need to replay this fantastic game again! Expand

    The best parts of the Life is Strange series are back in a new guise, with new animation, beautiful graphics, redesigned lighting. After going through the remasters, looking at the original hurts. Game optimization at the highest level. I highly recommend these masterpieces.

    Лучшие части серии Life is Strange вернулись в новом обличии, с новой анимацией, красивой графикой, переработанным освещением. После прохождения ремастеров, смотреть на оригинал больно. Оптимизация игр на высшем уровне. Очень рекомендую данные шедевры

    I am not sure why this game needed a remastered edition at all. I own a 34" Ultrawide and Deck Nine can't seem to figure this out. Why in 2022 is that even a problem. The game is choppy you can tell when it switches to video to gameplay before you couldn't and some of the lighting is really funky against what was originally cell shaded art.

    Life is Strange 2 and True Colors didn't go over so well and I have to agree with that very much.

    After all, we can say that the part where is the real ending and the decision is the alternate ending.
    Then we call it Life is Strange: Max & Chloe´s Strange Travel or Tour through LA or whatever you want to write for a story and then we can continue to enjoy our two favorite characters.

    LiS - german:
    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.

    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.

    Life is Strange: Remastered Collection allows fans of the franchise to come home to Arcadia Bay and experience the stories of Max and Chloe all over again with a beautiful update to the visuals. It’s wonderfully nostalgic to hear the chilled out indie music playing over long, sprawling cutscenes. It’s just as easy to be drawn into the complex plot themes of love, betrayal, loneliness and revenge… all against the darker backdrop of murder, drugs and kidnap. This is the perfect time for those who never quite got around to it the first time to jump in. It is such a wonderful experience with all the visual updates that come with the Life is Strange: Remastered Collection.

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