I wasn’t expecting PC-level configuration, so what’s on offer here is fairly standard for consoles. Choosing an episode to play will incur a long loading screen, so first let’s dive into the options. Starting up Life is Strange, you do have to sit through a solid minute of company logos and legal text to get to the title screen, so that’s not a great start. They do come as separate apps and downloads, however, so no launcher or anything to go through first.
The Arcadia Bay Collection packages both remasters together for about $40, you cannot purchase them separately on Switch so it’s all or nothing. Both are fantastic games and some of my favorites in the genre, so let’s see how the remaster updates things. While Chloe doesn’t have time powers, she still solves environmental puzzles, makes choices, and argues with people to get what she wants. Before the Storm, meanwhile, is a prequel following the friendship of Chloe and Rachel. The plot revolves around her relationship with her old best friend, Chloe, as well as the mysterious disappearance of Rachel Amber and strange visions of an impending storm that will destroy the town. Life is Strange is an adventure game in which you explore and interact with characters and environments, make choices that impact the story, and solve puzzles and undo mistakes with Max’s newly discovered time powers. Now, it’s time I return to Arcadia Bay for the remasters of the original game and prequel Before the Storm on Nintendo Switch.īefore we arrive in Arcadia Bay, let me give you the rundown on Life is Strange. Regardless, the series has brought about some incredible opportunities for me, in particular interviews with the original and sequel creator Michel Koch as well as the comic writer Emma Vieceli and artist Claudia Leonardi. This all started with the 2015 original which starred Max Caufield, who is basically me in video game form – so much so that nowadays I cringe somewhat at who I was in High School. Each game focuses on something that happens to be very important to me, from the big sibling energy of 2 to the independence and little sibling energy of True Colors. I’ve mentioned several times that the Life is Strange series is very important to me.
