Definitely not what I was hoping for when I got this copy of the game. I'll start this off by saying that I do love both Life is Strange and Life is Strange:Before the Storm. I looked into this game again hoping to give it a benefit of the doubt but even now with the fixes over the past few months, I wouldn't recommend it to those who don't know anything about either one of the games beforehand. If you want to get into these games and learn more, I would encourage you to look at the original versions at this point and maybe they'll fix the remasters in time but I feel like it'll take a while to get there. There has been some progress over the past few months when I first tried to play it.. lighting and shading did seem better in a lot of areas where it originally struggled and the main characters do look much better compared to the original game. The issue is there are still times where shading and lighting is really bad and there were a few times that my game would just bug out and I got a white screen or the title screen image but the game would still play in the background and the characters were still talking and I couldn't see anything going on. This bit isn't as important/isn't something I would prioritize but like I said before, they only seem to have touched things up with main characters and the background and areas you get into pretty much look the same as the original which ruins the experience of the remaster quite a bit. I'm really hoping somewhere along the line that it will be fixed and people who are new to the story will be able to play without issues because I do love both games and they always sit as one of my favorite series and just games in general but until it does get fixed, please do not get this version of the game if you're new to the story and want to know what's going on. I'm hoping at some point things will be better and I can change my review but idk, it's hard for me to want to explore it again given how my experience was with it first time and even trying after.
