Life Is Strange: Reunion Is Out Now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC

Early reviews call it a heartfelt send-off with some messy twists and minor glitches.

Overview

  • - The new entry from Deck Nine and Square Enix, which released Thursday, is available on Steam, the PlayStation Store, and the Microsoft Store.
  • - The story follows Max Caulfield at Caledon University as she uses her time-rewind power to try to stop a deadly campus fire, with Chloe Price returning to help.
  • - Players can switch between Max and Chloe as dual leads, using Max’s rewinds for investigations and Chloe’s Backtalk for sharper dialogue, with full control of both sides of key conversations.
  • - Critics praise the emotional core and character writing yet flag an implausible reveal tied to the fire and visual hiccups like sudden white hair and stiff facial expressions.
  • - Reunion continues 2024’s Double Exposure, which fused timelines to explain Chloe’s return, and it arrives as a complete, non-episodic release that some expect will split fan opinion.
