Life is Strange: Before the Storm - Episode 2: Brave New World Reviews
Life is Strange: Before the Storm Ep.2 builds a story in which both the player and Chloe herself explore her personality. The narrative's pace suits perfectly the game but, with just 1 episode left, it leaves a lot more questions than answers.

While a few problems are certainly present, Life is Strange: Before the Storm is still on the right track. The characters and plot points remain interesting and the choices, when real choices, are very well thought out.
While the episode may not be quite as good as the first, Life is Strange: Before the Storm Episode 2 – Brave New World is another excellent addition to the Life is Strange series. If you enjoyed the first and can't wait to see more come from the Chloe and Rachel relationship, this new episode is a must play for you.
This is an excellent episode. The bond between Chloe and Rachel grows, while the big finale awaits for us.

The second episode of Life is Strange: Before The Storm digs deep into the emotional tale behind Chloe and Rachel and made me want to see them succeed. Interactions with other characters can feel unimportant despite context, but many of these choices feel like they will actually hold consequence and are more believable than the first episode. Frustrating fetch quests interrupt what is ultimately an engaging story which leaves me needing to know what's coming next.
Even though the second episode is mostly focused on its characters rather than incidents, it is a compelling lead-in to the impending finale all the same.
Life is Strange: Before the Storm Episode 2 is an emotional ride between two different worlds that are more alike than they seem and will have you grasping for more.
Life is Strange: Before the Storm has reached it's climax via the latest episode, "Brave New World". You'll encounter every single of your expectations up to now, a melodramatic story with a startling ending and a genuine friendship between the girls, "Brave New World" goes beyond your expectations and you'll definitely enjoy every single moment of it. I just wonder if we'd be allowed to make an alternative ending or not, time will answer that.

We still have a third, final episode of this story, but after the first two chapters, we can confidently say that we'll be more touched and fascinated by a bright ending than upset and disappointed.

Just like any other Life is Strange episode, this one ends with a great stinger.

Sadly, the second episode of Life is Strange: Before the Storm does not raise the bar in terms of quality. The developer can't keep up with the original game. It's a real shame, because despite all of the flaws, there are some elements players loved the predecessor for.

It's another fantastically told tale of teenage drama, family and friendship, and developer Deck Nine has once again proved itself worthy of delivering a package that more than lives up to Dontnod's original vision.
Brave New World wastes what precious little time Before the Storm has on filler, holding back meaningful developments until the very end.
The standard of this second episode feels like a traditional Act Two. It’s not quite as good as the first, and is hopefully sitting here just to bridge the gap that is leading to an exciting final third.
With only one episode left, Brave New World has sucked us in and left us salivating for the final episode.
So far, Before the Storm is maturing nicely.
Although it might not be as strong as Episode One, it builds in confidence and understands exactly what we want out of this story. Sad, happy, heartwarming and heartbreaking, Episode Two is an emotional experience.
An honest insight into the tragedy of loss and growth in youth.
The second and penultimate episode of Life Is Strange: Before The Storm heats things up in more ways than one.
One of the best episodes of the entire Life is Strange franchise to date, Brave New World is a captivating episode full of heartwarming moments and top-notch writing.
