Question 5

DO I NEED TO HAVE PLAYED THE FIRST LIFE IS STRANGE AND LIFE IS STRANGE: DOUBLE EXPOSURE TO UNDERSTAND LIFE IS STRANGE: REUNION?

Accepted Answer

While we would always encourage you to play the previous titles for the full emotional impact of Max and Chloe’s saga, Life is Strange: Reunion accommodates both new and returning players!

A Previously On video introduces Max Caulfield and Chloe Price and summarizes highlights of the saga so far.

The game then begins by asking you to choose the status of several key relationships, which then ripple throughout the game, leading to different dialogue options and content.

This is also a great way to set up new world states for your second, third, and future playthroughs!
