Square Enix has now remastered and released both games for the Nintendo Switch in one collection dubbed Life is Strange: Arcadia Bay Collection, which in simple terms, is far from perfect.įor those unfamiliar with the first game, it follows Blackwell University freshman Max Caufield who, after a series of events, finds herself with the ability to rewind time which she uses to save her childhood friend Chloe Price from death. I personally was hooked on it due to its unique blend of fantasy and highly realistic themes, incredibly well-told story, and highly endearing characters Life is Strange: Before the Storm is the second game in the series that serves as a prequel and, while flawed, succeeds in contextualizing the Arcadia Bay saga.

Despite not being a highly anticipated blockbuster title, the game was released to great reception both critically and commercially and quickly became a cult hit. Life is Strange was released as a collection of episodic narrative adventures developed by Don’t Nod featuring Max, an 18-year-old time traveler.
