I didn’t expect to obsess over Reunion this much, but here we are.
I haven’t drawn pencil portraits in years, but I’ll do anything for this two.
Reunion game me HELLA feels. Thanks, @DeckNineGames @LifeIsStrange

After a wild two weeks since Reunion dropped, I am getting back to writing about it and games in general. Here's a new one on the topic of-- what else -- romance.

I haven't finished my Reunion replay yet, but I'm starting to more comfortably sit at a 9/10 for the game.
A few days removed, and I don't really hate that Diamond was absent - and while I wanted more Chloe I don't know where else they could've logically added her.
Game's peak.

My full review of Life is Strange Reunion after finishing:
✅ Hannah Telle and Rhianna DeVries both steal the show with unforgettable performances
✅ Visually another beautiful entry
✅ Choices do matter and will impact the ending
✅ The mystery was one of the better ones in the series
✅ Music is some of the best in the series
✅ Lots more incentive to explore in this game
✅ Wraps up Max & Chloe’s Saga in a very beautiful way
✅ Rewinding Power was super fun to use again
✅ Gameplay segments are much better than Double Exposure
✅ No unnecessary DLC like Double Exposure
✅ One of Deck Nine Games best works to date
✅ Fixes a number of story issues from the last game
✅ Ending got me super emotional and teary
✅ Collectibles were fun to collect and cool to view
❌ Ran into a number of bugs
❌ Not enough Chloe Backtalks
❌ Needs to be better optimized
❌ Lots of cut content with Some Double Exposure Characters
Rating 9/10
