Reviews Summary
Summary: Awake starts off the second chapter of Life is Strange right. It provides good story bits that callback to what came before while building something new. Some found the storytelling a bit hokey, but others were ready to take the ride.

Life is Strange: Before the Storm shows a lot of promise in its first few hours despite the same weaknesses in its script as the original Life is Strange series.
GamesRadar+
Chloe's enhanced angst might grate a little, but there's no denying Before the Storm is going to be another brilliant Life is Strange game.
Metro GameCentral
An excellent start to a prequel series that taps into the same style of sincere storytelling as the original, making a previously unsympathetic character seem vulnerable and likeable.
Game Informer
Awake is at its best when it focuses on Chloe and Rachel's complicated lives, making you feel each character's struggle
