    Before the Storm is just an example of badly written teen fiction. Dull story and unmotivated characters will definitely disappoint many fans of the original Life is Strange.

    I enjoyed every second of this game. Every episode brought something fresh and exciting to the table and injected life into this story. II enjoyed every second of this game. Every episode brought something fresh and exciting to the table and injected life into this story. I finished playing feeling emotionally moved more so than the majority of games I play. The story telling, the pacing, is all some of the finest work available in the gaming world today. Eagerly anticipating more. Bravissimo Full Review »

    Huge fan of Life is Strange. What the **** is this episode three. Weak,uneventful, No ideas. Should have done 5 episodes spanning from meetingHuge fan of Life is Strange. What the **** is this episode three. Weak,uneventful, No ideas. Should have done 5 episodes spanning from meeting Rachel to the events of season 1.

    This feels like it has been stripped down of 70 percent of its content. Abysmal. You dont even get the chance of playng , its just cutscenes. There is no choice, the endings are almost all the same.

    Episode 1 and 2 while not ideal i thought they were great. This episode three makes me fear for the Farewell episode, please deck 9 dont **** Farewell up.

    I was expecting better considering the first two episodes were pretty good, but I was rather disappointed and underwhelmed.

The last 30 seconds of the episode gave me chills, however, and it may have been the best part, sadly. Full Review »
