    Remains one of my favorite series to date. You can actually start here before the original cause its a prequel beginning to end. But I Loved the first just a bit more, so probably start there. I feel like this was almost as great. I got the same emotional rollercoaster which I loved in the first. I just missed Max from the other game. You get emotionally attached to all the characters.

Max was just so relatable to myself so she was my favorite. You will relate to one character at least because their attitudes are very realistic. This series is a beautiful experience. Every gamer should atleast try both but this game definitely gets a bit lifted up if you play the previous original first. Still great tho. And if you get the deluxe you will get an episode with Max! So go deluxe. Expand

    More a gem than a game. A must for all people with a heart. LiS evokes feelings that are extremely rare in games. Just play it (1. LiS Before the Storm. 2. LiS).

    Very short but very meaningful fo create the full-arc and have the complete set of events. Fun, not too complex, not containing collectibles like the other 2 games, but will for sure have an impact and help the player have the complete picture of events. It it less focused on decisions, even though they have consequences in a way, no reverse time or special mechanism like backtalk.

It it less focused on decisions, even though they have consequences in a way, no reverse time or special mechanism like backtalk. Just explore to understand how Max and Chloe were when they were best friends, and why the split between them was so painful.

    Moreover we are striked again with very good soundtrack choice, especially for the ending. I could not see the game complete without this episode and honestly I would have had included in the Before the Storm default package, or even give it for free to attract the players, as they did with the first episode from the original Life is Strange. I don't also understand why it is presented as the last chapter to play, it would have made more sense to at least play it first, before the "Before the Storm" other chapters, it makes it like: what happened before the before the storm... But still enjoyable and totally worth it.

    Simply and absolutely beautiful. The ending is almost as gut punching and heart breaking as the one from LiS 1. MORE than worth the asking price.

    《奇异人生:暴风雨之前》的告别奖励剧集很短,但应该需要为该系列的粉丝播放。在麦克斯和克洛伊变得如此奇怪之前,对麦克斯和克洛伊的生活进行了深思熟虑的一瞥。

    The Farewell bonus episode of Life Is Strange: Before the Storm is short but should be required playing for fans of the series. A thoughtful well written glimpse into Max and Chloe’s life before it got so strange.

    Farewell is upsetting in the best of ways. A wonderful, tearful, round off of Max and Chloe’s story and a fantastic appetiser for season 2.

    “Farewell” succinctly captures everything that Life is Strange does well in a beautiful and devastating package.
