    Despite a slow start that almost made me stop playing the game, by the end, Life Is Strange: Reunion became a game that I fell in love with. Thanks to strong writing and excellent performances, Life Is Strange: Reunion delivers the perfect final chapter for Max and Chloe that all long-time fans should play.

    A heartfelt return for Max and Chloe that leans on strong storytelling and an outstanding soundtrack, even if its gameplay remains familiar. Not revolutionary, but a solid and emotional entry that fans of the series will truly appreciate.

    This game totally makes up for the last one—the writing for Max and Chloe is so on point. If you love the series, you're going to love this.

    Life is Strange Reunion could be the franchise’s definitive reunion with its fans. Playing as Max and Chloe, with their distinct personalities and clearly differentiated gameplay styles, is a lot of fun. The story is intriguing; however, it also feels somewhat exclusionary: you can play and enjoy it without having played the previous titles, but you will undoubtedly miss a lot. On top of that, we feel the game never fully takes off on a graphical or technical level.

    The long awaited reunion of Max and Chloe brings some of the series best scenes, but they forgot to build a compelling game around them.

    The appeals to nostalgia can’t save Life is Strange: Reunion from seeming like a low-budget cash grab that clumsily undermines the narrative of not only the previous instalment, Double Exposure, but also the beloved first game in the series. It mostly functions on a technical level, albeit while looking pretty hideous at times, but its egregious plot leaves me wishing I could "rewind" this sloppy new entry.
