SUMMARY
Before the Storm takes place in the town of Arcadia Bay, Oregon, three years before the events of the first game, Life is Strange. The game shows the budding relationship between two teenage girls: Chloe Price, the protagonist of the story, and Rachel Amber (who disappeared in the first game). The player takes on the role of Chloe and is regularly faced with choices that will determine the relationship between the two girls, as well as the course of the game itself. This is because it is a type of game where the narrative and the player's choices have a direct impact on the sequence of events and influence the unfolding of the story. The ending of the game will not be the same for everyone; the choices made will lead to different quests, stories and resolutions of conflicts from one player to another.
The disappearance of Rachel Amber, which was a key element of the story in the first game, will not be mentioned in this episode. The ability to turn back time, which was a key gameplay element and contributed to the success of Life Is Strange, is not present.[vc_cta h2= »L’AVIS DE NOS TESTEURS » shape= »square » add_button= »right » btn_title= »Voir les autres tests » btn_color= »primary » btn_i_icon_fontawesome= »fa fa-gamepad » btn_link= »url:https%3A%2F%2Fe-enfance.org%2Fjeux-video-info-parents|title:tests%20jeux%20vid%C3%A9os|| » btn_add_icon= »true » btn_custom_onclick= »true »]
Although this game is not particularly recommended for young children, it is not completely unsuitable: it contains occasional foul language, violence (not shown in detail) and a few references to drugs, without glorifying them. However, this game will be a little difficult for a child to master and they may not understand all the nuances of the game. There are no micro-payments or chat features. Saving is possible.
