Well that was depressing.

(Only contains spoilers for the first game.) The first game had its depressing moments, but that wasn't the focus, and you could reverse any bad stuff with Max's time-travel powers anyway! But in this prequel, you're just regular Chloe. A girl whose life is spiralling downward and who we already know by the end of this game will have a dead dad AND a dead friend-or-more in Rachel. Fun! And the game sadistically piles on the depression every step of the way. Even choices don't matter - we know by the first game that Rachel is long dead and Chloe's life is still in the gutter, so there's no real happy ending. You can guess the 'joyful' final scene... There's more! The bonus episode DLC even takes place on the fateful day where Chloe is hit with the double whammy of her best friend Max leaving and finding out her dad is dead. As you may figure, that means the final-final scene of the whole game has Chloe in the fetal position on her bedroom floor, crying in her funeral outfit. Gee, you think they overdid the melancholy in this one? It's still a great game, a great look, human characters... so maybe I don't NOT recommend... but I want to balance out the positives and drive home that they went overkill. The writers need to step back and calm the heck down with the sadomasochism. I can't even say I 'enjoyed' the game, more I interacted with a story that had barely any bright spots. So who do I NOT recommend to? Well don't play it if you want a game that has you smiling. And definitely don't if you're triggered by anything like being a dropout, failure, alone or having a dead parent or lover.

I fell in love with this game.

One of the most moving experiences a game ever delivered to me. I had no technical issues at all.

Bonus episode crashes the game

Bonus episode content prevents the game from launching. Game is fine if you install episodes 1-3.

LIS was scripted, but this is painful

[unsignificant spoiler] F: will you do this for me? Options: YES / NO I chose NO F: but I give you 100 bucks Chloe: Well then okay Like, seriously, what? That's not even the most embarassing one. Don't give me all those fake choices. And if you do, please have some good story to base it all on. It seems quite boring. But I'm still at the middle of the second episode. Hope I'll find the second half of the game more enjoyable.

(Even) better than LiS

I like Before the Storm better than LiS since the drama in the story feels less forced. However, letting the police deal with everything once things escalate still is not an option. Of course, it would be a kind of lame solution, but it feels weird that this is not an option. The bonus episode is well made, but since it does not offer any new insights and the ending is already known from the beginning, it feels like a cheap way to trigger emotions. As if they would make an extra long version of the death of Bambi’s mother.
