Life is Strange: Before the Storm - Episode 2: Brave New World Reviews
Life Is Strange: Before the Storm Episode 2: Brave New World showed me what Deck Nine is capable of in terms of storytelling and character growth. Also, the game's choice system is well thought out and represented a wide variety of possibilities for many types of players. Lastly, after finishing Brave New World, I'd like to add that the worries I originally had for the rest of the series drifted away as Chloe and myself looked towards the future Episodes.
Episode two lives up to Life is Strange: Before the Storm's incredibly strong start.
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.

An honest insight into the tragedy of loss and growth in youth.
As it stands, Episode 2: Brave New World is far and away the best of the two episodes so far and has already made this game something special. Deck Nine did an absolutely fantastic job of creating a beautiful story and wonderfully tragic characters to make this type of dialogue-driven game a force to be reckoned with, especially when compared to the first game. It will certainly leave you hanging at the edge of your seat without apologizing for the drama and stress it creates.
This second episode is again stunning and emotionally capitvating, even a little slower though. Before the Storm is going to be a strong prequel to Life is Strange, even better in some ways.

Brave New World is yet another piece of lovingly crafted evidence that should banish any lingering doubt about the developer. They are a highly capable team and a near perfect fit for this series.
Life is Strange: Before the Storm has so far been consistent in its delivery of a heartfelt story with lots of wiggle room for players to craft their own emotional journey. The final episode can’t come soon enough.
Life is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode 2: Brave New World is an excellent entry in the series.
So far, Before the Storm is maturing nicely.
Brave New World wastes what precious little time Before the Storm has on filler, holding back meaningful developments until the very end.
A rather flawed follow-up to a fantastic first episode. There's plenty here to like, but it loses its momentum due to some weak writing and stiff animation that felt as if the episode was released too early. The relationship between Rachel and Chloe is the most interesting thing in this episode and it makes it easier to stick with it even with the dialogue being sub par in places.
Life is Strange: Before the Storm - Brave New World is a emotional roller-coaster, but in a good way. Strong character development and genuine twists that make for a solid sophomore entry in this three-part prequel.
Life is Strange: Before the Storm delivers another emotionally-charged episode in its second installment, Brave New World, hitting all the right narrative beats to set up players for a grueling journey in episode three—even if it's saving many key elements that tie into the original game for the final episode.
Chloe Price has never been more human and relatable than in Life Is Strange: Before The Storm episode 2.
Episode two Brave New World shows a quite recovery and an amazing potential from last episode. The story holds a number of absolutely breathtaking events and moments. I'm hyped to see what's going to happen in next episode!

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.
This is an excellent episode. The bond between Chloe and Rachel grows, while the big finale awaits for us.

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.
