I played Life is Strange: Before the Storm on release on PlayStation but have replayed it numerous time since and now on PC as well. It's definitely difficult to pinpoint which Life is Strange game is the "best" one since everyone have different opinions and experiences which each game and will relate to some characters or stories more than others. At the time of release Life is Strange: Before the Storm felt like an immediate upgrade from Life is Strange (2015) for me. The things that bothered me in the first game felt non-existent this time around. It felt like the visuals had improved, granted it wasn't by a lot but it felt like it was a step in the right direction. The music felt pretty much perfect, I've caught myself listening to majority of the songs from the game in my spare time and even discovered new artists that I still listen to to this day. The story felt engaging and raw with emotions as you get to experience the pain and turmoil within Chloe as she's dealing with the loss of her father and the absence of her best friend, two key people in her life. We get to see Chloe spiral down a bad circle of doing drugs, drinking alcohol, sneaking out, skipping school and overall being a rebellious teenager who's trying to find herself and her path in life. When she meets one of my favorite characters in the Life is Strange franchise all together Rachel Amber on a complete whim. The two of them quickly form a strong bond and a relationship that's difficult to explain in words but for you as the player get to witness throughout a handful of emotional cutscenes. The new feature of "battling" your way through conversation felt like a massive upgrade gameplay-wise compared to the previous rewind and select the "real answer" that I had felt repetitive and slightly boring in the first game. The puzzles felt too easy this time around-if there even were any puzzles at all, something I had also critiqued Life is Strange for. It seems like finding the balance between tedious and childsplay got a little lost. Overall it quickly grew to be my favorite Life is Strange game at the time of release though a bit shorter story it definitely had many key moments and memorable scenes that I think back on with joy. There is a "secret" ending to the game which I feel is the best outcome of the story though I feel like no matter how your playthrough ends, I'm sure you'll feel like your money was well spent in the end. If you're looking for a game with captivating story, an excellent cast of characters combined with a playlist that'll send chills down your spine as you play or just a continuation after playing the first Life is Strange then it's a no brainer to play Life is Strange: Before the Storm next. I hope you enjoy this game just as much as I do.

Salvar a Chloe é o final canônico e nada me tira mais essa visão depois desse jogo ( Principalmente por causa do Episódio Bônus ). Mais um acerto incrível dos desenvolvedores em ambientação e história. A trilha sonora brilha novamente com a música "Nothing Wrong - PissHead" ( que vou ser obrigado a adicionar na minha playlist ). Obrigado a Square Enix e a Thayná Martins, minha namorada que me deu o jogo de presente, por me darem a oportunidade de ter essa experiência. Espero que, no futuro, os desenvolvedores criem jogos com as histórias e perspectivas do Nathan Prescott. Sinto que seria de grande riqueza para a franquia que os fãs pudessem ver na prática como foi o lado dele da história, começando como um garoto bom e confuso, mas terminando como um louco manipulado.

В это неимоверно скучно играть, а я ещё думала что первая часть редкостное говно..

don't be surprised, chloe, if one day, i'm just out of here

The game explores loss, grief, anger, uncertainty, love, friendship, and more. I really enjoyed learning more about Chloe's life and getting some context about what happened before the first game, especially about the whole Rachel thing. If you don't like Chloe as a character in LiS1, I'd still recommend you to play this one. You'll get to walk in her shoes for a bit and you might understand why she is the way she is. Her "superpower" is to talk back and try to win arguments to get what she wants, and a lot of the dialogue options are confrontational, even when you pick the nicest ones. I wish I could've been nicer or to de-escalate some situations, but she doesn't know how to do that, and in a way, that made me sad. She's just a kid who lost some of the most important people in her life. Her house doesn't feel like home anymore, school isn't going great, and Rachel's going through a lot as well, putting more on Chloe's plate. She's tired, in pain, lonely, and angry. You know you could turn her life around if you made better choices, but those choices are never given to you because she doesn't see them as options. You can't protect her from all the sh!t and pain she's going through. It sucks to know none of your choices really matter. They matter within the confines of the prequel, but no matter how you choose to handle this story, we can't change how LiS 1 starts. It's kind of a bummer, because you definitely run into some problematic people that make you wish you could do something more. As always, the music is awesome, the vibes are immaculate and they do an amazing job at portraying teenage angst, heightened emotions and feeling like every day is the end of the f*cking world. You can finish it pretty fast, it's shorter than the first one and it has a bonus episode that's a prequel to the prequel, when Max and Chloe were little kids.

I know I waited a long time to play this one, (please play it after the first LiS) but boy did it hit me like a hammer. One of the most emotionally powerful story-based games I have ever played, and I've played a lot of them. Keep hankies handy. The fact that it is set before LiS makes it all the more powerful since you know about the future of some of the characters already. The bonus episode is also a brutal, yet poignant end to the story, if the main ending didn't crush you enough. This may sound like a downer, but the incredible writing and voice acting makes this a must play. Just trust me about the hankies though...

虽然时长是正篇的一半，但是后劲太大了，比之更甚。(有剧透) 通过三章的刻画，让我从正面认识了一个优秀、聪明、勇敢、冲动、敏感的瑞秋。 她是每个人口中都会提到并且称赞的人，她身上就是有一股致命的吸引力，吸引你去抛开现实，去疯狂去逃跑，去做些“坏”事。 她也并不完美，有着野兽的那一面。特别是当自己的信任崩塌时，她散发的绝望和崩溃就像是一枚炸弹，把自己的心摧毁彻底。情绪汹涌而来时，就像那场山火，愤怒地燃烧着，久久不息。 每个人都爱她，可不是每个人都懂她。 就像她对克洛伊说过，我可能有一天会离开这个地方，离开你，不要惊讶。 她其实不属于任何人，在每个人的生命里留下痕迹之后，又会去追求自由，去追星星。 越知道她这么好，就越不敢把故事进行下去，因为你知道结局。根本不应该是这样的结局。 写到这里突然也就明白了，不管是瑞秋还是克洛伊，她们都不应该经历这样那样的事。 也正因为是两个都需要疗伤的人，如此相似，才会彼此吸引。 愿瑞秋自由。 啊 不得不说，彩蛋章节结尾放克洛伊爸爸的事，我真的是，故事好，就是想给编剧两锤。
