So, it’s been just about a week since #LifeIsStrange #Reunion came out so imma start talking about it
So my first playthrough I managed to save everyone except Jeanette, though I feel she was one of the more forgettable characters, I’m not surprised I missed the info that would have let me save her
Overall I loved the game, it had its quirks and they didn’t really explain the overlight fully, however it was a really good ending to Max and Chloe’s story
I burned the photo at the end, purely as a ‘max needs to heal, not chase the past’ yeah I get that it removes the choice but sometimes it’s better not knowing.
Will be making a different choice in future playthroughs, though I do know what all of the endings are
Including the fact they basically confirm that when Max rewinds into a photo she leaves that reality in some way (that photo of Chloe on the bed, crying, breaks my heart whenever I see it…
The game was deffo a bit shorter than the others, whether that’s based on the move from an episodic to a free flowing structure I don’t know, however it didn’t feel any different from previous games, I just see it as one big self enclosed episode
The romance options were limited but good, would have liked a playthrough where I could have another go with Amanda, however imho Max would always chose Chloe.
Vihn worked as a romance choice in DE but based on how Reunion goes, makes sense he is no longer an option
The Mabon party was funny, watching Max dealing with an impromptu trip down the yellow brick road was funny and seeing Chloe care for her so much in this scene.
I know this is gonna be the last time we get to play as Max and Chloe however if the series does continue, it would be nice for a LIS2 kind of Easter-egg to see where they end up.
