Is Life is Strange: Remastered worth purchasing in 2022?

sportskeeda.com:

Life is Strange has come out with a Remastered collection promised by Square Enix to upgrade the graphical ability of the games massively.

The original Life is Strange came out in 2015, and fans fell in love with the episodic sagas. A prequel followed it, Before the Storm, both of which have been bundled into one in their remastered versions.

The Remastered collection is available across all major platforms, including the next generation of consoles.

Square Enix has pushed the Remastered collection as brand new games. It's even available with the Life is Strange: True Colors Ultimate bundle. But the big question that arises in light of everything is - is the Remastered collection worth it?

Life is Strange was initially released nearly eight years ago, so do the remastered versions have enough upgrades considering the current time?

While Square Enix has pushed the Remastered collection as a new game, it's not. So there are no significant changes to the stories, and the upgrades are in the graphics department.

Life is Strange's graphics at the time of its release were not artwork as such. But there was a charm to the game that helped it stand out. But considering the world is in 2022, there was a need for enhancements, at least for the first game.

In certain senses, graphical upgrades work well. There is a stark improvement in the overall lighting that helps players enjoy the game more. The facial models and hairstyles look better than the original ones, but there are some negatives.

For some strange reason, the original Life is Strange had both MSAA and FXAA, but that's not the case with the Remastered collection. There have also been reports of bugs when players have been using the time rewind ability of Max.
