    Reunion has all the trappings of a “Fix Fic” written by a disgruntled fan who desperately wanted some third option at the end of Life Is Strange a decade ago and was miffed that Don’t Nod denied it to them.

    While the earlier moments in Life is Strange didn’t significantly advance the plot, they helped us connect more with individual characters. Even if those characters weren’t as central as others, it made a difference to you, the player. The most exciting thing Max can do with her powers in Reunion is rewind repeatedly until she gets the right answer. Groundbreaking. This is supposed to be a ‘your actions have consequences’ franchise, not the ‘the only actions that matter are the ones that make the loudest fans the happiest’ franchise. I’m not naive; I know game development is a business, but the lack of integrity from Deck Nine with Reunion is so incredibly shocking that it would be an insult to call this poor fanfiction.
