    Huge 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    Huge fan of Life is Strange. What the **** is this episode three. Weak,uneventful, No ideas.

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    Life Is Strange: Before The Storm has its moments but on the whole, it just didn’t do enough to capture my attention the way Life Is Strange did. Though easily a tumultuous period in her life, Chloe wasn’t as interesting as she was in the original game. The whole back talk mechanic isn’t an adequate replacement for Max’s time travel ability because I feel the consequences weren’t nearly as substantial.

    A fitting finale to this prequel miniseries that lays the foundations to Max and Chloe’s future escapades, and while it doesn’t quite hit the heady heights of the mainline series, it holds its own as a unique, self-contained teen-drama, with a gritty bite of realism thrown in for good measure.
