Publisher Square Enix chose Deck Nine to develop the prequel to Life Before the Storm Strange after the developer's proprietary StoryForge tools, made up of a screenwriting software and cinematic engine, had made an impression. Prior to its official announcement, images had leaked online indicating that a prequel to Life Is Strange was in development. The game was met with generally favourable reviews, according to Metacritic. Sam Loveridge at GamesRadar wrote that Rachel was the more authentic character Before the Storm of her more "grounded" dialogue. Despite disparaging Chloe for being "her same tiresomely combative self" early on, Metro saw her fleshed out by enduring the loss of her father. Game Informer ' s Kimberley Wallace thought the younger version of Chloe brought a "naivety and vulnerability" worthy of sympathy. Conversely, the relationship between the leads was said to have formed "at unnatural speed. Reviewers found Episode 2: Brave New World to either Before the Storm better than the first instalment or one of the series' greatest. Game Informer ' s Joe Juba declared Before the Storm continued comprehension of the character "its biggest strength". However, Juba's biggest complaint echoed Wallace's derision of the "forced" manner with which Chloe and Rachel become friends. Brett Makedonski, writing for Destructoidthought the Before the Storm exposition was done "to great effect. Metro criticised the script for being "uneven" and disapproved of the voice Before the Storm. Mejia felt the ending could have been done away with, saying it was "a bit drawn out," though he was impressed with "Backtalk". The writing was lauded as authentic and genuine, with Wallace noting that it showed new sides to minor characters; conversely, Makedonski criticised that an ancillary character with little development became a primary antagonist. Although Metro observed some inconsistent dialogue and voice acting, Peeples said the cast showed "incredible chemistry". Wallace thought that Chloe and Rachel's "tender moments" were the best parts of the episode and Makedonski said "their struggles, their mutual escapism, and their sacrifices" provided more than enough investment. Reviewers generally approved of how the game concluded. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
