Chloe’s story is all the more affecting when I didn’t have to infer it, and while so far Before the Storm seems to frame her as more of an angry, disrespectful teen-which can conflict with the tone of the episode overall-I hope it feels as redemptive for her to others as it felt to me.Īt the outset, Before the Storm manages to improve upon some of Life is Strange‘s known snafus. By putting me in the shoes of Chloe as she’s in the thick of all these changes in her life, I felt more validated in my seemingly selfish choice to save Chloe in the original game. In the original Life is Strange, playing as Max meant the game had to tell instead of show how Chloe became the girl she was by the time she and Max reunite. But this is all due to the tragic loss of her father, resentment for those she feels have abandoned her, and an overall distaste for her situation. She’s the angsty foil to the mild mannered Max, often unkind to those around her, and is so short-tempered and reckless she makes several situations worse. Life is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode 1: Awake (images via Square Enix)Ĭhloe is a polarizing character.
