The graphics of the "Life is Strange: Arcadia Bay Collection" have received mixed reviews, with some improvements in lip-syncing and color tone noted, but many players feel it suffers from significant drawbacks such as texture pop-in, muddy visuals, and long loading times. While the art style is appreciated, the overall presentation is considered outdated and marred by bugs and clunky animations, detracting from the experience.

“[Writing and characters are excellent, great art style, exploration is constantly rewarding.]”
“For the case of Life is Strange: Arcadia Bay Collection, I cannot help but express concern that this remaster is less of a remaster and more of a port of the original 2015 game, graphical artifacts and outdated loading times included.”
“Certain aspects of the presentation have been improved, such as the lip-syncing and overall color tone, but at the same time you've got some pretty unforgivable presentation drawbacks like texture and asset pop-in, muddy environmental visuals, and absurdly long load times.”
“Too many bugs, some scenes are graphically terrible, controls and animations are clunky.”
Life Is Strange Remastered Collection Review (Xbox One)
The Life is Strange Remastered Collection offers you an excellent game and another, which is a lot of fun if you’re invested in its characters. They’re well worth playing. The question is more about whether this collection is the way you want to do so. Despite the improved visuals and animations not quite making this the definitive version in every way, things are solid enough that if given any way to do so, I’d probably choose these versions. Despite that, this is a great example of titles that simply didn’t need to be remastered.
