Life is Strange: Before the Storm Remastered

Best part of this game is the bonus episode. Gave more insight on what happened before Life is Strange than the 3 other episodes combined. I thought this game had something going with the first 2 episodes and I enjoyed them a decent amount, although I guess I did see a crack of two start to form. But then I played through episode 3 and it's just random plot twist after plot twist and everything stops feeling like it makes any sense and honestly, after the initial shock wore off, I was just laughing all the way through it (Which is why I can't bring myself to genuinely have any real dislike for this game). How did they come up with it all honestly it's genuinely crazy. I never liked Chloe that much as a character in the first place. Since she doesn't have any power to spice the gameplay due to keeping consistency with the main game, it's also not quite as interesting to play, so unfortunately getting to play as her this time didn't do much to change my mind on how I felt about her. Even ignoring that aspect however, this story is still just a bit nonsensical. In a way I'm glad none of this game matters for the main Life is Strange because seriously... what in the world was happening.

Also seriously for something with "remastered" in the title I was expecting better than lights constantly blowing up, subtitles showing incorrect lines and freezing, visual artefacts and voice lines cutting themselves off. Do better.
