    I hoped that in this Episode we will find out, how Rachel became a Vortex Club member, how she started to flirt with Frank and how she started to use drugs. But nothing of mentioned above was in third Episode. I started playing Before the Storm only because I want everything to come clear about Rachel, but, unfortunately, deck nine hadn't done their best. The story itself is weird andI hoped that in this Episode we will find out, how Rachel became a Vortex Club member, how she started to flirt with Frank and how she started to use drugs.

    Still has a great atmosphere, but that unique magic from the original is simply not there.

    If you are a fan of the original game, get ready to hold back tears after watching a brief post-credits scene, and it will give you a deeper appreciation of that scene in the scrapyard from LIS Episode 4. I think this is the whole reason why Before the Storm exists, and that is good.

    Life is Strange: Before the Storm is a good adventure game that conserve the quality of the original game, but is less emotive and surprising. The story is a beautiful novel about moral growth and love, and the relationship between Rachel and Chloe is captivating, but ends feeling rushed and loses the focus.
