Life Is Strange: Before the Storm Review

By Akhil Arora (Dec 28, 2017)

Good
Good, honest writing
Side characters serviced too
Themes, and what it has to say about them
Scenes with extended conversations
Big, powerful choices
Soundtrack

Bad
Some conversations are uninteresting

“What would Chloe do?” was a question I asked myself repeatedly during the three episodes of Life is Strange: Before the Storm, the prequel story set three years prior to 2015's Life is Strange. Before the Storm puts you in the role of the previous game's protagonist's (Max's) best friend, back when she was still a sophomore. While playing as Max felt more natural – she was generally more agreeable and hence easier to relate to – Chloe is unlike her in most ways, and her rebellious streak is crucial to not just everything she does, but everything she says too.
