New PS5 & PS4 Games Launching March 23-29
▼ Summary
– The author is personally looking forward to the game *Life is Strange: Reunion*.
– They believe reviews are generally not useful for evaluating games like this or *Pokémon*.
– They are puzzled by the fanbase’s negative reaction to *Life is Strange: Double Exposure*, seeing it as a typical series entry.
– They note *Reunion* will likely include the fan service that *Double Exposure* lacked.
– The author plans to play *Reunion* after finishing *Requiem* and enjoys playing these narrative games slowly with their wife.
The upcoming release of Life is Strange: Reunion is a significant event for fans of narrative-driven games, even if critical reviews often feel irrelevant for this particular series. Much like with Pokémon titles, the community’s personal connection frequently outweighs any external score. It’s interesting to observe how a segment of the fanbase distanced itself from the previous entry, Double Exposure. While not the series’ peak, that game delivered the quintessential Life is Strange experience, albeit without the nostalgic callbacks that Reunion is poised to deliver in abundance. Personally, I’ve found substantial merit in every mainline game and its related titles like Lost Records, and I anticipate enjoying Reunion more than the average player.
My plan is to complete Requiem in the coming days, schedule permitting, and then dive directly into the new adventure. There’s a unique pleasure in experiencing these deep, story-focused games alongside my wife, and it’s a fortunate coincidence that the two series we play together are releasing in close succession. We prefer to take our time, absorbing every detail and conversation, which makes these shared gaming sessions something we genuinely savor.
