Life Is Strange Before the Storm episode 2 review - A truly memorable experience

But playing the second episode of Before The Storm, one of the legendary actor's most overlooked lines sprung into my head.

"Life is short and whatever time we get is luck."

And those words ring true with the Life Is Strange prequel - a beautiful venture back to the world of Arcadia Bay.

The second episode kicks off soon after the dramatic ending of the first, with Life Is Strange's long-running theme of action's having consequences brought to the fore.

Decisions you made in Before The Storm's opening salvo, some of them obvious game-changers and some less obvious, will come back to bite you in the ass.

It's one of the ways Life Is Strange has always drawn you into it's world, making it feel living, breathing and tangible.

Actions have consequences, decisions can be pivotal - and you can be sure how you decide to tackle episode two will have a huge bearing on the finale.

But like with the original game, the main heartbeat of Before The Storm is the relationship between the two central characters - Chloe and Rachel.

Two free spirits and wild childs in their own right, drawn together while everything in their own personal lives is going to hell.

For Chloe, it's the loss of her father, abandonment of her best friend, and difficulties dealing with a changing and upsetting home dynamic.

For Rachel, it's the swift destruction of her relationship with her own father and being beguiled by someone who on outside appearances seems the complete opposite of her.
