    Returning to Arcadia Bay has been pretty disappointing for me. The magic that I felt from the game in 2015 is gone as playing the episodes in quick succession makes their flaws all the more obvious. I would be unsure about recommending the best port of this game now, but my feelings on the Switch version specifically are far less complicated. This is not a very good port, and the baffling difference in quality between the original game and its prequel only makes that more blatant. If I could rewind time, I would go back and avoid playing this port so I could simply live with my positive memories of the original instead of confronting the serious letdown the remaster has turned out to be.

The gamesI loved the Life is Strange games before this port and originally played them on Playstation. This collection is a good port. The games function fine on Switch. I imagine most people would probably like the playstation version better due to the better graphics, but if all you own is the Switch, then this is a fine port of some great games. If you already own it elsewhere, there's nothing particular special about these ports that would make them worth double dipping unless you just really want a portable version.

    As for the games themselves, I've always been a fan of these games. Great story and great decision making and the choices you make in the game do feel like they actually affect the story up until the ending which is mostly unaffected by your choices. Could be better, but still one of the better of these story based games that have been a bit popular in the last decade or so.    … Full Review »
