Life is Strange Remastered

You play as Max Caulfield, a photography student at Blackwell Academy who discovers she can rewind time. After using her power to save her former friend Chloe, Max joins her in investigating the disappearance of fellow student Rachel Amber.

Explore the school and the coastal town of Arcadia Bay, talk with residents, inspect objects, take photographs, and solve environmental puzzles. Max can rewind moments to change what she says or does, letting you try different approaches and uncover information.

The story unfolds across episodes, with dialogue and actions shaping later events and relationships. Max’s power develops as the mystery progresses, and the choices you make lead to different outcomes, including multiple endings.

Players often praise the emotional story, the relationship between Max and Chloe, and the way choices make them consider possible consequences. The soundtrack, characters, and atmosphere of Arcadia Bay are also recurring highlights. Reviews are mixed on the remaster itself: some appreciate its visual updates, while others report awkward facial animation, lighting or other visual bugs, and a chapter-four barn issue that can block progress.
