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."
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.
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.

After Chloe stole the spotlight for three episodes, Max has taken center stage again in a new Bonus Episode for Before the Storm.
It was trash.
