    A clumsy remaster that removes much of Life Is Strange's charm – the persistent glitches are irritating. However, it’s smooth sailing for Before The Storm. [Issue#12, p.84]

    With strange and glaring bugs, Life is Strange Remastered Collection quickly loses the good name of the series. But even without bugs, strange choices have been made that make this fantastic game just a bit worse.

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

    Both games are sold in the story, played both games at least 2. Wish they didn't have so many performance issues.

    Absurdo la manera en la que han remasterizado este juego, no se ve nada bien, pues sus juegos originales no estaban hechos para verse así, aAbsurdo la manera en la que han remasterizado este juego, no se ve nada bien, pues sus juegos originales no estaban hechos para verse así, a esto hay que sumarle los numerosos bugs que te vas encontrando nada más al principio, por ejemplo, cuando tienes que hablar al principio con el profesor Jefferson y te dice "no puedes rebobinar más" y después se superponen unas letras con otras y no sabes qué tienes que hacer, pues resulta que debes pulsar el botón control, pero como no puedes leerlo, pues hay que aguantarse y tener paciencia para ver qué está fallando, ni desinstalando el juego se soluciona este error.

    Life is Strange is personally one of my favorite games.

This remaster still has the main core of the story, but in it's current state, I would say it is too buggy to even think about buying. Pretty much the only improvement from the original is that it is a little less ugly. From speaking with other LIS fans, this was not even a problem for people. In almost every section of every chapter, there is some sort of bug that will distract you from playing. So far, the most persistent one for me has been a subtitle bug where it only shows the name of the subtitle file instead of the contents of it. It started at the beginning of chapter 2 and did not go away for the entire length of the game. I have no idea how this got past the development team. I have seen numerous other players with this exact issue. Other players have also had an issue with the game crashing on them. On top of that, there is also weird audio glitches, character models just going crazy, glitches with the sides of the screen, lighting glitches. There has just been so many glitches I stopped writing them down. Pretty much all of these glitches happened to me within about a half hour of starting the game. It also has performance issues. I bought this for the PS4, and I often get 15 FPS. As much as I love D9 and DONTNOD, this remaster is a shameless cash grab. It is possible that this was pushed to be released as soon as possible by Square Enix, but it does not excuse the poor quality of this game. Life is Strange is still Life is Strange, but I would have rather spent $10 on the old version instead of this overpriced and broken "remaster". Please make better decisions than me and do not preorder games, especially remasters. I am currently trying to get a refund, but there is not much I can do. **** Square Enix for scamming me out of $40. Expand

This remastered version is full of bugs and glitches unfortunately. Perhaps one day it will get patched up, but in its current state I can’t recommend this game at all. Every scene I’ve gone through has had at least one annoying glitch. As someone who’s such a fan of the game that they named there dog after the main character it sucks to see such neglect given to what I think was such a special game. Expand

    This is absolutely a really bad remaster.
    Got the platinum trophies for the original LIS, LIS BS, LIS2 and LIS TC (both PS4 & PS5 version).
    This is absolutely a really bad remaster.
    Got the platinum trophies for the original LIS, LIS BS, LIS2 and LIS TC (both PS4 & PS5 version).
    Played on PS5, just finished the first episode.
    1. The edge of the screen keeps glitching.
    2. The subtitle occasionally shows program code instead of the actual sentence.
    3. The Simplified Chinese font is not correct.
    4. The lighting is weird at most time. Either too bright or too dark for me to even recognize the objects.
    5. Characters freeze before there is a transition in the scene.
    6. "You can't rewind any further" got stuck on the screen.
    The frame rate is still low and I don't even count this as a problem since it is expected.
    Buying this game is a disrespect to those developers who actually make good games (remaster/remake) with heart.
