Life is Strange is a charming take on a supernatural teen drama, and while the story can feel bloated with plot lines at times, there is a lot for players to like. While being a compromised version of the remasters, the Switch version is still a competent port that ensures that players will get the whole experience with as few compromises as possible.

Any character in the foreground looks reasonably sharp, but any character further away from the camera drops in quality — including major characters in essential cut scenes. There is an aggressive drop-off in detail to anything that's further away, and it disrupts the experience in a major way. It's all I could see in some cut scenes, and that undermined story moments.

Returning to Arcadia Bay has been pretty disappointing for me. The magic that I felt from the game in 2015 is gone as playing the episodes in quick succession makes their flaws all the more obvious. I would be unsure about recommending the best port of this game now, but my feelings on the Switch version specifically are far less complicated. This is not a very good port, and the baffling difference in quality between the original game and its prequel only makes that more blatant.

On the whole, the Arcadia Bay Collection is largely the same game that was released almost eight years ago, but that isn't a bad thing in the slightest. When a great game focused almost entirely on its story, not much needs to be done for a remaster.

Life Is Strange: Arcadia Bay Collection is also without major fault, meaning that the positive of being able to play the games on the go is something that players could very much appreciate.

The dramatic drop-off in texture quality and abundance of texture pop-in hurts the experience, as do long loading times. The foundation of what made the games so great is still present, but hampered.

Gripping and Captivating Story
Wow what can I say this game is a master piece in story telling, amazing cast of characters and an incredible gripping story. Take control of time as Max Caufield the time warrior, with the power to rewind and manipulate time but be careful, all great things come at a price. Chaos theroy indeed, as max continues to manipulate time and space she creates a storm big enough to swallow Arcadia bay, her home town. This game is all about choices and decisions, sacrifice and rewards. Going to the ends of the earth to try and save her one true good friend Chloe what unravels is a story unlike any other as they embark on a journey to find out the truth spun in lies and deceit, who’s the real villain here? Find out the truth of what happens to Rachael Amber and step into the shoes of a time traveling maniac trying to wright the wrongs with right decisions and choices. Are you ready for an incredible journey and heart wrenching chapters? Whatever you do do not sleep on this game.
