Chloe is poor, has a deceased father, and loathes her mother’s boyfriend. Where Life is Strange lays its focus on a missing person and Max’s supernatural powers, Before the Storm focuses more on families from different ends of the spectrum. I’m skirting around a lot of issues simply because I don’t want to spoil the game, but there are a few specifics I really should give. And while it never gets as dark or as powerful Life is Strange, it has some moments of truly staggering emotional sway nonetheless. I was smiling with it, because it’s an experience that – even in its darkest moments – makes you feel like a part of it. I wasn’t smiling at it, as with so many games I wasn’t smiling at the jokes or the snark or the little continuity nods. Chloe is still reeling from the death of her father and the absence of Max while dealing with life at Blackwell Academy… and then the popular, vibrant Rachel Amber steps into her life.īefore the Storm made me smile. Where Life is Strange focused on Max Caulfield’s return to Arcadia Bay, the rekindling of her friendship with school dropout Chloe Price, and their investigation into the mysterious disappearance of Rachel Amber, Before the Storm takes a look at a period several years before this. It also probably says that this’ll be a confused mishmash of thoughts and emotions, because that’s what Life is Strange does to me. I finished it over the weekend, finished Farewell yesterday, and I’m still internalising a lot of it. It’s not a prequel series that really needed to exist, nor is it one that adds a great deal to the world or the original game, but it’s so well done that I’m still glad it was made.
