Smaller scale, but still hella good

A prequel to the original game, Before the Storm sees the return of some of the characters and puts them in a smaller setting to deal with smaller problems, but still ones of major importance to them, there and then. Unlike the first game, BtS has no supernatural elements (unless you count Chloe's big mouth) and the stakes are quite ordinary and down-to-earth which makes it perhaps more relatable, if a little less engaging. The story revolves around Chloe's relationship with Rachel but while still good, I didn't find it nearly as emotionally impactful as the previous title. I'm not entirely sure, though, whether this is due to the writing or just the fact that it's a prequel to a story I already knew. Still, a pretty good game with likeable characters, and let's not forget: with really good music. Definitely worth playing if you're a fan of the original, just don't get your expectations too high. Oh yes, and be sure to play the bonus episode "Farewell".

I thoroughly enjoyed this game.

It's the first time I've played a game like this, and I approached it differently. It took me back to high school, really, and the first time I felt the stirrings of love. It's not really the type of thing I usually play, but I went back and got the first Life is Strange after I finished this one. I like this one much better. Perhaps you have to be in the mood for a slower pace. It was more like reading. I was totally engrossed in the story and the music. In one scene, "I" just sat in the train, listening to the music and watching the scenery go by for a least five minutes. I can say I've never done that before.

Not working

Just bougth the deluxe edition and crashes almost as soon as I double clic. I've realized of some werid things. if you don't clic "ok" after the crash pop up appear the cursor get stucked at the middle of the screen, but that's not a big deal and is kinda of topic, any way just press the windows key to move the cursor again. But the real werid thing was that I could ignore the crash pop up by, as I said, pressing the windows key and then pointing to the game icon in the taskbar, once the thumbnails appear I clicked in the game thumbnail instead of the crash pop up and the game runs, but again it crashes as soon as i tried to go to the bonus episode. So If I uninstall the deluxe upgrade, the game goes just fine, but that's pointless since i bought the deluxe edition. Said that basically is the deluxe upgrade that is broken. So please GOG fix it as soon as possible, also fix "Life is Strange Complete Edition" that one don't even run. I bought both and none of them works

Good prequel

Deck Nine delivered a good prequel to Dontnod's game Life is Strange. It is smaller (only 3 episodes instead of 5, not counting the bonus episode). The Bonus episode is a sweet touching little episode made for fans of the first game. It is not mandatory that you have played Life is Strange to enjoy the 3 story episodes, but it is highly recommended. Other reviews mentioned technical issues with launching the game in combination with the bonus episode. This is not an issue anymore, you can play the game and the bonus episode just fine. If you enjoy slow paced story games and especially if you enjoyed the first Life is Strange you will like this one too.

Game crashes

I noticed a few people having crashes with the game, especially the bonus episode. So did I. The way I fixed it was to disable the subtitles, and after that - works just fine. Just wanted to mention this in case anyone is still struggling with it. The game? Chloe irritated me at first with her shitty attitude and I stopped playing.; it's a pet peeve of mine when snotty teenagers won't allow their parents to be people in their own write and to have their own lives, and not just be parents. :-P Anyway, I persevered with her, making her as agreeable as the dialogs would allow, and ended up loving the game - not as much as the first one - but enough to give it 4 stars; I removed a star for Chloe's annoying attitude.
