Life is Strange: Before the Storm is a brilliantly crafted prequel series that does well to highlight just how integral Rachel Amber is to the whole series' overarching story.

It is still NOT a Video Game

Even though I got this game for free I still wanted a refund because (just like Life Is Strange before it) Life Is Strange: Before the Storm is still NOT a video game. Granted, it looks pretty, but then so does a warthog that is wearing makeup. This is nothing more than a Socialist-Marxist political manifesto poorly disguised as a "pretty" video game. But don't take my word for it because there are plenty of YouTube game reviews that expose the political messaging infecting this "game" like a festering case of scabies. Unless you truly enjoy paying some self-righteous SJW to lecture, berate and insult you... seriously consider voting with your wallet and save your money. (Waves hand) "This is not the video game you were looking for. Move along."

Lame as lame can be

If you're the kind of loser who's into crappy teen dramas this is the game for you Basically The longest Journey + Telltale Games + Degrassi The Next Generation = Life is Strange If this were a TV show it would be an awful TV show
