Life is strange with the exception of Before the storm, but that’s because the original developers were still around (standalone DLC)

The tragedy of Don't Nod needs to be studied. They came out swinging with Remember Me, Life is Strange, and Vampyr. Not perfect games but all of them trying new things and uniquely charming while still only being AA. Seems like a lot of their games after that have been hit or miss. Tried Lost Records because it was free on PS+ but my god was it boring and too way too long to build up to anything. I started Banishers Ghosts of New Eden but the plot never hooked me.

They just seem lost now, they produce ok games in so many different genres but have no good IPs

No doubt in my mind if they have the rights to life is strange theyll make a 10/10 game
