I finally finished Life is Strange: Before the Storm—yes, all three episodes and the bonus Max episode—and I genuinely wish I hadn’t. This podcast is the full breakdown of why this game doesn’t just fall short… it nosedives into the pavement.

From botched character arcs to plot holes you could drive Rachel’s truck through, I’m dissecting everything wrong with this painfully disappointing prequel. And no, “it’s a prequel” isn’t an excuse.

This is not a review for fanboys or apologists. This is for the players who expected meaning, consequences, and a reason this story even exists.

If you’ve ever been personally betrayed by a franchise you love, this one’s for you.
