00:00Life is Strange Reunion pictures itself as the finale of Max and Chloe's saga,
00:05but in practice, Reunion desperately struggles to hold it all together,
00:10feeling more like a hasty epilogue coda than a thrilling finale in its own right.
00:15An arson attack mystery initially compels, but Reunion's plot quickly becomes disjointedly
00:21paced and bogged down with past drama. It's nice to see Chloe make a return,
00:26the Rewind power is still here and as great as ever, and the environments are rich with clickable
00:31assets and details, but the character drama feels sidelined by superpowered explanations,
00:38and it struggles to juggle two plot threads at once. As a series fan, I'm susceptible to bringing back
00:44both a fan favourite mechanic in Rewind and a fan favourite character in Chloe, which carries me
00:49through Reunion's opening hours, but this fails to leverage them to explore the sort of character
00:54dynamics I loved in previous Life is Strange games. Forget Rewind, where's the fast forward?
