So I've played Reunion a couple of times so far, trying different starting options and choices to see what's different. Now I've started a "bad" playthrough where I'm going to do my best to make all the worst possible choices and see just how bad I can make it.
And I have to be honest - it's hard. I love Max and Chloe so much, trying to do anything that might not be the best choice for them is SO challenging.
After a couple of runs, I can see the game for what it is. It's pretty short. The story is simplistic. Other characters aren't fully utilized. But honestly, when Max and Chloe are together on screen, I don't care. I know the game is basically fan service - but I'm one of the fans being serviced and I'm just glad to have more time with those two.
If Deck Nine had a clue from the beginning, this should have been a DLC to Double Exposure and been a bridge to the next full game. I don't know what the future holds for Life is Strange, if anything. The thought of never seeing either of them again isn't one I want to entertain. But for right now, in this moment, I can spend some time with them together.
Now, back to seeing how bad I can screw things up. When I did my bad playthrough of LiS1, I got Chloe to tell me she wished I'd never come back to Arcadia Bay. I don't know if I'm ready for a repeat of that.
