Before the Storm is a good prequal to the first Life is Strange. If you enjoy story driven games then I would highly recomend the Life is Strange games!

This game is definitely reccomended by me! I say take your time with the story missions and do all the side missions and artifact finding. The story is short if you dont take your time. I see why people compare it to assassins creed, a lot of the same movement while climbing and running is present. If you like lotr get it! If you enjoy assassins creed get it! If you like wasting time wreaking havoc...well...you know!
