Critics praised the characters, themes, and story, but criticised plotholes, the main relationship, and the impact of players' decisions near the end of the game.Episode 1: Awake received mostly positive reviews from critics for the character development of Chloe Price and Rachel Amber. Jeremy Peeples of Hardcore Gamer found Chloe's behaviour 'endearing' and noted that her personality was portrayed with multiple layers.
Sam Loveridge at GamesRadar wrote that Rachel was the more authentic character because of her more 'grounded' dialogue. Despite disparaging Chloe for being 'her same tiresomely combative self' early on, saw her fleshed out by enduring the loss of her father.
Game Informer 's Kimberley Wallace thought the younger version of Chloe brought a 'naivety and vulnerability' worthy of sympathy. Conversely, the relationship between the leads was said to have formed 'at unnatural speed.' Peeples and Loveridge favoured the 'Backtalk' gameplay feature, while Metro and Wallace cared little for it.Reviewers found Episode 2: Brave New World to either be better than the first instalment or one of the series' greatest.
Metro praised how choices made a difference with a 'profound effect' on character arc, while Ozzie Mejia of relished in Chloe's 'genuine growth' contrasting her 'fiery spirit'. Game Informer 's Joe Juba declared the continued comprehension of the character 'its biggest strength'.
However, Juba's biggest complaint echoed Wallace's derision of the 'forced' manner with which Chloe and Rachel become friends. Brett Makedonski, writing for, thought the character exposition was done 'to great effect.' Most noted was The Tempest school play sequence, which Metro said was their favorite, Mejia called 'one of the funniest' in Before the Storm, and Juba observed as the culmination of all past choices. Metro criticised the script for being 'uneven' and disapproved of the voice acting. Mejia felt the ending could have been done away with, saying it was 'a bit drawn out,' though he was impressed with 'Backtalk'.Metro and Peeples agreed that Episode 3: Hell Is Empty was the most emotional of the season.
The writing was lauded as authentic and genuine, with Wallace noting that it showed new sides to minor characters; conversely, Makedonski criticised that an ancillary character with little development became a primary antagonist. Although Metro observed some inconsistent dialogue and voice acting, Peeples said the cast showed 'incredible chemistry'. Wallace thought that Chloe and Rachel's 'tender moments' were the best parts of the episode and Makedonski said 'their struggles, their mutual escapism, and their sacrifices' provided more than enough investment. Reviewers generally approved of how the game concluded.
