A very easy-to-play game that allows you to choose how the character acts and how she handles certain situations. Not as much involvement in the story as I had hoped for; I would have liked more opportunities to make choices on what to say and sometimes I felt like I was spending more time watching the story than playing but if you’re looking for a nice and similar follow up in regards to how the story flowed and the general play from the first game then I don’t think you’ll be disappointed! All together a good game that I would recommend.

More of story-based gameplay from Life is Strange, but a prequel. Good, but feels a little tacked on.

While the original Life is Strange is a super experience from both a gameplay and narrative aspect, Life is Strange: Before the Storm is a satisfying, fun experience. As a prequel, you control Chloe a few years before the first game. The gameplay is designed specifically around her past, and the types of locations, situations, and dialogue trees you would expect. It's a good experience re-visiting the Life is Strange universe, but it doesn't feel quite as innovative nor rewarding as the adventure from the first, when controlling Max. Ultimately, for fans of the first game, it's worth a try, and this version comes with an additional chapter that explores Max and Chloe's relationship before she leaves. A nice bonus!

This game is a prequel to life is strange and I’d recommend it. On this series the player gets to see the relationship between Rachel and Chloe and get a better insight on how the character changes in the original game. I recommend it!

Amazing story driven game. If you are like me who is obsessed with story drive game in a single play mode, you will love it. I like to play games by myself alone after work, and this is definitely the type that I like and enjoyed.

This series of games are really good for a story. If you aren't familiar, they are more of an interactive story, vs. your typical game. It's fun to make the different choices and find out how it will change the ending.

I liked the first release better, but this is still fantastic. Very immersive. Some may be turned off by the lack of involved gameplay, but I so thoroughly enjoyed the story that it didn’t bother me.

I liked the first so was excited to see this. Was disappointed because it was more movie-like, than game-like. Not much action except for choices you make.

The game is good. Not as good as the original but still good. What I didn't like is that the bonus episode is just a one time digital code. I thought it would be on the disc.

Honestly wish this came out before the original LiS. Made me care so much more about Chloe and truly understand her relationship with Rachel. Amazing story!

I was blown away by how invested I was in the Life is Strange 1’s story, so i just had to purchase BTS to find out how Chloe came to be.

I enjoyed it not as good as the original but is still very good. Much better than the trash that is Life is Strange 2.
