Ashamed. – Life is Strange: Before Storm Review

Although, yes, the storyline was relatively “okay”, I started to see holes in the stories after comparing both games. Not even just the wonky graphics, but the entire storyline. You guys mixed Chloe and Max’s characters up. In the original version (Life Is Strange), the protagonist’s name is Max Price, yet, in LifeIsStrange: Before the storm, her name is Chloe. Then...another hole in the story was the bonus story in Before the Storm when “Max” was in the car with her father when he died. So how was she at home when her mother came home to give her the news? And how is David married to “Max’s” mom in “Before the Storm” but isn’t married yet in the original version? I don’t think the plot was very well thought out. It just felt lazy. Yes, it’s an amazing game, I absolutely LOVED the original, but “Before the Storm” ruined the experience, and it left me with a lot of questions...such as what happened to Rachel to the point she went missing? And why is it that when I play the ORIGINAL version of Life is Strange, “Max” looks as though she never met the girl a day in her life. It was just weird and extremely lazy writing. I don’t know if you all thought this one through carefully..but ??‍♀️ if you all were going to make a backstory of Rachel Amber, I just feel as though it would have made more sense to think of that story line first and play off that, rather than making a storyline about her disappearance then try to tell a story of how the two met knowing good and well in the first Life is Strange, “Max” after as though she never knew the girl. ??‍♀️ it’s just way too many holes in the story, almost like you guys had different writers who never played through the game...but I digress ?
