The Good
- Series fans get to see Arcadia Bay in a new light
- high quality graphics and animation
- a few emotionally powerful scenes show glimmers of what could have been.
The Bad
- Contrived and implausible story relies too heavily on what we already know will happen, favoring soap-opera style twists and gratuitous violence over genuine character development.
Our Verdict
Underwhelming
There are some good elements that shine through occasionally, but generally the game is not a positive experience.
Very self-aware of being a prequel to a bestseller, Before the Storm puts fan service and farfetched melodrama above cohesive storytelling, resulting in a superficial and disappointing experience.
