SquareXo Writes: Life is Strange ‘Farewell’ is a bonus episode which you will own should you have opted for the Deluxe Edition of Before The Storm. Given that it is bonus content, it doesn’t quite match up to a full episode, coming in at around an hour long and not really offering as much depth as the previous five episodes you’ll have played.
Amid the bluster of the modern gaming market—with its focus on scale, setpieces, and service models—the importance of small moments is too often overlooked, but not in The Last of Us or Life is Strange.
Nick Gillham: "It’s a shame Deck Nine couldn’t elicit this sort of emotion when they were telling their own story about Chloe’s relationship with Rachel, the bond between Max and Chloe doesn’t really belong to them, but they really made this story their own."
Leif: Life is Strange: Before the Storm – Farewell is a bonus DLC that chronicles the events that happened during Max Caulfield’s last day on Arcadia Bay as she spends time with her bestfriend Chloe. What I thought was going to be a cheesy mushy farewell turned out to be the most heart-wrenching goodbye I’ve ever witnessed. As always, be warned for major spoilers from the game. Skip to the end if you want to know the verdict.
