Life is Strange: Before the Storm Episode Two Available Now on Xbox One. When we released Life is Strange: Before the Storm Episode One: Awake some weeks ago, it was with the weight of responsibility and not a little trepidation. We had crafted Before the Storm in a way that we felt it could proudly stand next to the first game from 2015, but ultimately it was up to you, the fans, to decide whether we had achieved that aim or not. To see such positive initial impressions from both players and critics was awesome! We loved seeing how much you enjoyed being back in Arcadia Bay while also discovering new areas and finding out more about the person that Chloe Price is and was. The great thing about episodic games is that the wait in-between releases lets the previous episode sink in and community discussions and theories pop up daily about what has happened (and what does it mean!?) and where the narrative will take us next. We’ve watched, listened, and read your theories over the past few weeks while working on getting Episode Two ready for release; we’d like to give a shout-out to a few of them ( Spoiler : If you haven’t played Episode One yet, consider skipping this next paragraph). Geek Remix is a YouTube channel whose theories during Life is Strange managed to hit the nail on the head with each released episode, so we were naturally intrigued to see what they would come up with for Before the Storm . We particularly enjoyed absorbing their “Arcadia Bay is cursed” theory, and it ties in quite nicely with their “Raven King” theory. Both videos are quite short and easy to take in but do open up many questions… Is the omnipresent Raven a mystical being guiding the destiny of Arcadia Bay? Is it benevolent or evil? Our other community hubs have also churned through some interesting theories. Who is the mysterious woman? Could she have a special connection to the fire and intended for it to happen? Could she be a Prescott!? And what about Rachel? Could she perhaps be the cause of the Storm in season one? So many questions! We fully hope that Episode Two will help evolve some of these theories as we continue to delve into the history of Chloe and Rachel’s relationship to one another and find out more about the world of Arcadia Bay. Happy gaming and exploring!

I happen across this little gem and from the 1st episode I was hooked. A few minutes in to the game and I thought - No button mashing, no shooting, just looking around and following the plot (I guess that is a down side because it ls like one of those old text based games where choices and things are limited; just thought of that). But I still enjoyed it. Particularly using the forward and backward of handling time. Kinda cool to be able to rewind just a moment back and choose a different option when deciding what to do in the game; be it responding to a character or working out a puzzle of sorts. If you're in a sipping hot chocolate mood and in need of a good book then this is the game for you. 76 out of 78 people found this helpful. This game grabs your attention from the beginning, gets you attached to the different characters, and wont let you stop playing. Graphics arent realistic, but you dont need them here. It's full of emotion and depth that amazing graphics just wont get you. But my Favorite part of the game Is the amazing soundtrack! It is well put together and just furthers your emotional connection to the game. I Find myself just sitting listening to the music at times. Play it. Love it. 69 out of 71 people found this helpful. Wonderful Story, Art, Music, Played it 3 times. The game and story are extemely well crafted. I felt very immersed in the story and constantly wondered what my decisions were responsible for. The game is beautifuly made and designed, and I would suggest it to anyone who ever enjoyed a story. The only bad part in my opinion is the searching and puzzles, as they can be misleading at times. Other than that however, Life is Strange easily made it to one of my top three games. 54 out of 56 people found this helpful. Awesome game! If you enjoy Telltale style games, you'll love this. In fact, I think this game is better than a lot of the Telltale games. It has a great time traveling mechanic and the gameplay is spot on. Awsome story with great writing and excellent soundtrack,makes this game a must play and worth having on your collection. 39 out of 40 people found this helpful. a dark but beautiful fantasy. This isn't a game so much as an interactive movie but through your actions and words you become Max in a small yet significant you imprint on your Max changing her and the way she interacts with the world if you manage to finish this game as it where try and keep and open mind and heart and your only regret will being unable to do it all again the first time. cheesy pop culture refrences and occasional cringe worthys aside of course. 194 out of 215 people found this helpful.

Amazing Immersive Experience. This game goes far beyond storytelling by making you choose the outcomes of each event in the game with very realistic characters. Words cannot explain how immersive the game truly is. 29 out of 30 people found this helpful. The BEST Story Game. This game is easy to use and very addictive. I found myself choosing it before a drawer full of games. The ability to second guess and rewind in this game is unparalleled and extremely fun. FIVE STARS. 44 out of 47 people found this helpful. Unbelievable. I just finished the game, and I really have no words to explain how amazing it is. The story is so engaging, the characters are relatable, there are so many different choices to make, and just the whole concept of going back in time to change something is brilliant. The creators really put heart and soul into creating this masterpiece, and I am really looking forward to a Season 2. 10/10 One of the best games I've ever enjoyed. 43 out of 46 people found this helpful.

My Review: Life Is Strange. Life Is Strange. what can be said about this game that isn't positive? The graphics/art style are absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and so is the music. The voice acting is among the best that I've ever heard in any video game or movie. I included "movie" because that's what Life Is Strange essentially is. There isn't much in terms of gameplay, but that doesn't matter when the story is so PERFECTLY written. Yes, PERFECTLY. I am almost always able to predict twists, but this game's twist is crazy! Apart from that, there are several other equally surprising (and saddening) moments in the emotional rollercoaster that is this 5 episode series. And on top of that, literally ALL of the in-game choices you make affect something in some way. Dialogue with side characters, a friend's grade on a test, and many other things could change. Life Is Strange is one of the most perfect games I've ever played; EASILY a 10/10. If you've never experienced this masterpiece, then do yourself a favor and buy it now! 70 out of 78 people found this helpful. Need More Games Like This. Got episode one for free with Xbox Gold, so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm so glad that I did! This game reminds me of those "Chose Your Adventure" books of my youth. And I love the Buterfly Effectesque twist that takes place in later episodes. We need more games like this. Can't wait to see what the sequel will look like, even though Max's story is over. 35 out of 38 people found this helpful. This is a game that might tell you more about yourself, based on your choices, than anything else. It is, itself, a work of art in which you must immerse yourself to get the most out of your first experience. Learn about the town and its inhabitants, pay attention to the little things, and remember: patience, respect, and unconditional love will see you through it all. though you almost certainly will not want it to end. Play blind and with an open mind(&heart) for best results. Life is Strange indeed. 90 out of 100 people found this helpful. EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER. this game is a hidden gem. can easily get pulled rite in to the story and emotional highs and lows of this game. the most dramatic impact is you can turn back time to change your mind, but at what cost? ☠🦌🦋 88 out of 102 people found this helpful. This game changed my life. The music, the setting, the choices and characters. Its all just beautiful. The story is absolutely amazing. If you havnt played it you have to. 61 out of 70 people found this helpful. One of the best mind trippping games! This game is one of the best story driven games I have played since heavy rain. After playing the first free episode I had to play more. It was the best 20 bucks I've spent. From the beginning to the end you get a story that doesn't disappoint. Decisions you make have a lasting impact throughtout the game play. The challenging puzzles and brain teasers it never leaves a dull moment in this game. The character development is also incredible. Not only get a feel for the main character but also the other side characters. Making you sympathetic for some of the characters in game. There was not one part of this game that I did not like. I highly recommend this game to everybody that love story driven games. 47 out of 54 people found this helpful. Translate to English. Язык Microsoft Store: United States - English.

But when Rachel’s life is nearly destroyed by hidden secrets, it’s her newfound friendship with Chloe that gives both the strength to carry on. For the development team at Deck Nine Games, working on this game has been a dream come true. We were fans of Life is Strange from long before getting this opportunity. The characters, the stories and the gameplay from the original game captivated us in a way that few games had ever done before. With our talented team from across games, TV and film, we worked on many ideas, exploring characters and storylines from across Arcadia Bay. We wanted to tell a meaningful story that would build on the amazing work that had come before us. In the end, the character who spoke the loudest to us, what a surprise, was Chloe Price. We love Chloe. She is a powerful young woman who takes what she wants and says what she thinks. That set us to thinking about Chloe’s earlier years, when she was without Max, and of course that led us to Rachel. We all know how her story ends, but how does it begin? In the end, that was the question we wanted to answer. Many people can pinpoint a person who had a huge influence on their life and ultimately shaped the person they are today. In some cases, these relationships can span a few short months and in other cases, decades. For Chloe, that person who changes everything is Rachel. To celebrate the release of Episode One: Awake we wanted to further explore and highlight some real-life stories of friendship and devotion. So, we invited a small group of real people to write an open letter to that special person in their own life. We hope that our Open Letter video will resonate with you on a personal level and will also give you an insight into what you might expect from Life is Strange: Before the Storm . It has been an amazing honor to develop this game and we look forward to sharing it with you. Let us know if you are picking up the game and what all your theories are for what happens next, but please remember that some players may not have had a chance to play the episode yet, so do be considerate when posting spoilers. Life is Strange, Episode One Review. GameSpot Life is Strange Reviews PC and PS4 and XONE. Love in a photograph. by Kevin VanOrd on January 29, 2015. "It was a dark and stormy night." So wrote novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton, creating the writing cliche to end all cliches, and inadvertently describing Life is Strange's opening scene. There's also a lighthouse in this scene, that old signaler of melodrama to come, rising above you amid the falling rain. The torrential imagery bookends the first episode of this five-part adventure, but most of the drama is of the teenage type. There are snotty girls to contend with, and privileged jocks accustomed to people bending to their will. Students fuss passive-aggressively on social media, and older adults are either mentors or bullies. This is the world seen through a young adult's eyes, a world in which every sight, sound, and whisper is full of life-ending, life-making meaning. The particular young adult you play is Max Caulfield--no relation to The Catcher in the Rye 's Holden Caulfield it would seem, though Life is Strange’s references are not subtle, so I presume that Max’s similarities to her namesake are not accidental. Like Holden, Max attends a private school, though her primary interest is photography and not football or fencing. She’s back in her Oregon hometown to attend school after spending the last several years in Seattle, where life wasn’t quite what she had imagined. "When we would play pirates in our room and in the woods, it seemed like Seattle was that fabled faraway island of treasure and adventure that we were always seeking. With coffee shops," writes Max in her diary. "But Seattle wasn't like a fable." The art style has a haze to it, as if the game is a memory. As it turns out, life at Blackwell Academy isn't idyllic, either. After a stern lecture by her photography professor, Max wanders through the school’s halls to the bathroom. She’s out of sorts: she had what seemed to be a nightmare in class--that dark-and-stormy-night scenario that began the game, and which showed a tornado roaring towards the town. As Max, you walk past blue lockers covered with posters that admonish students not to text and drive, and comment silently to yourself about the classmates you pass. When Max plugs earbuds into her ears, you hear the light indie-rock you imagine an angsty teen from the Pacific Northwest might listen to--the kind that plays when you enter a Starbucks. This may not be your reality, but it is easy to believe is it Max's. The themes and characters are familiar, in any case: the aloof school principal, the quiet religious girl, and the anxiety of being called on in class when you don’t know the answer. Well, there is one aspect that is decidedly unreal: you can rewind time. You discover your special skill during your restroom visit, when a heated confrontation between a psychopathic rich kid and the girl that confronts him ends with a bullet in the young woman’s abdomen. In that moment, you reach out to help and time quickly zips back to minutes before, when you are still in class. Now you know the answers when Prof. Jefferson asks you. Now you can tell him what he wants to hear about the photography contest he wants you to enter. And now you have a chance to save an old friend's life. Don't like how she reacts? Rewind time and do it again! Time reversal is Life is Strange's most unique element, but also its most problematic. The game is rooted in the adventure formula that has made Telltale Games's Walking Dead series so popular. You walk around the environments, interacting with people and objects, and making choices during dialogue that turn the story in a particular direction. "This action will have consequences," the game tells you, and you then wonder about the potential consequences, and mentally note them when they occur. After a single episode, it is hard to tell how intervening when a security officer is harassing a student will shift the future, but should you not like the immediate reaction, you just rewind a bit and do it over again. It's a nifty effect at first, but the rewind as a whole undermines one of the formula's most treasured elements: ownership of your decisions. Granted, there are limitations, so you can’t return to the moment of truth when a consequence becomes apparent hours later. But undoing a line of dialogue because a classmate reacts poorly to you diminishes the choice's power. I rarely sweated my decisions, because I could just try again until I landed on the one I liked best. I suspect that I may come to regret seemingly easy choices when more episodes are released and the repercussions play out. For now, however, I don't feel much ownership of Max; In The Wolf Among Us, it was clear that I was playing my Bigby, but after a single episode of Life is Strange, Max isn't my Max--she's just Max. Someone needs a Xanax. The rewind mechanic also allows for a few light puzzles. When you rewind time you keep what you have recently picked up, and of course, you have new information you didn’t have before. As a result, you might be able to perform new actions and have new conversations. Rewinding only affects the people and events surrounding you; you remain in place, with any items you may carry, while time retreats everywhere else. In this sense, rewinding your surroundings is like fast-forwarding your own body. You can avoid falling objects, for instance, by rewinding time, moving forward, and resetting time with you further ahead than when you started. Annoyingly, however, Life is Strange breaks its own time-bending rules when it suits the narrative. When you first discover your skill, for instance, you are moved back into your classroom seat, and do not remain in the bathroom. Developer Dontnod has its cake, and eats it too. Inconsistencies of time reversal aside, Life is Strange is an involving slice of life that works because its situations eloquently capture a peculiar early-college state of mind. Some of the characterizations are too on-the-nose: of course Max’s rebellious friend Chloe smokes weed and talks back to her stepfather, because that’s what rebellious teens do, and of course that stepfather is an ex-military authoritarian with a buzzcut and a bad temper. This is storytelling shorthand, but much of it rings beautifully true. When Max is reunited with Chloe, the tension chokes the air: Chloe feels abandoned and angry at being left behind when Max moved, and at being ignored when Max returned to town. Max doesn’t necessarily have answers for all of her choices, only apologies. These interactions can break your heart specifically because you might have had such conversations yourself. The performances, especially those of the actresses that play Max and Chloe, amplify the laughs, the groans, and the tears in equal measure, even when the dialogue takes a clumsy turn. (As it does, for instance, when you meet Blackwell's creepy janitor.) Victoria is not a nice person, but you can always kill her with kindness. Life is Strange sets the stage for later conflict, foreshadowing the storm to come and informing you of a young local woman gone missing. At the same time, the game makes everyone look like a guilty party. The rich frat boy with a gun, the smug school administrator, the stepdad in need of anger management skills--these and other characters have plenty to hide, though it’s impossible to guess what all their secrets might be. The looming tornado and the inconsistent time mechanic seem almost unnecessary as a result, for Life is Strange’s most important drama is the one developing in Max’s own mind.
