Life Is Strange: Double Exposure (Playstation 5)

Game, itself, was very good. The plot was amazing. I bought it on sale, so that price was quite good for this game. This version has Russian subtitles, that was a great plus for the game.

Max returns in this sequel to the original Life Is Strange. Loads of in depth storytelling. Twists and turns galore. And more difficult and sometimes emotional decisions for Max to make regarding her nearest and dearest. If you enjoyed the first game for more than just Chloe, you are sure to enjoy this one too.

I really enjoyed seeing Max return but I was really disappointed in not being able to rewind time like before, but the graphics looked better than the original life is strange I felt the story was a bit complicatedI liked the feeling of choices you could take with the phone app and littel free roam from a room to another room but I think the game could be improved.

Just to start - if you’ve not played the original Life is Strange, or the follow up LiS: Before the Storm, then I’d recommend you do so before you tackle LiS: Double Exposure. While it’s not a necessity, it WILL make some things make sense. However LiS 2 and LiS: True Colours are standalone stories and don’t affect Double Exposure.So, onto the game and I’d like to address some comments from other reviews that say nothing you do has an impact on the story. I feel this is slightly unfair - the point is the journey, and reacting to situations how you want to. There’s still plenty of choice to shape your character. That said, I do also understand some of the criticisms - without giving away spoilers this isn’t the kind of ‘choose your own adventure’ that can result in your character having a wildly different ending. Like I said, it’s very much about the journey rather than the destination.But! The fact is, once again I thoroughly enjoyed my time in an LiS game. Double Exposure sees us return to Max Caulfield’s world, as she now tackles the world of academia from a teaching perspective. Early on a devastating occurrence sees Max turn detective as she tries to piece together exactly what’s going on - which isn’t easy when you discover you can hop between two parallel realities.To say more will give too much away - if you’re a LiS veteran you know what you’re getting - lots of examining of things, lots of walking, lots of inner monologues with a dash of the supernatural. You’re also getting a solid set of relatable and not so relatable characters, a strong mystery and a lot of emotional moments. And again, a dash of the supernatural :DAnd it’s the characters for me that are the biggest positives - everyone has their positives, everyone has their flaws, just like real life. There’s a few subplots that see you connect with characters, for better or worse. I found everyone you connect with to be fully rounded, engaging companions throughout your journey. It’s just a shame that everyone else is very much an NPC, and there’s not a lot of them. For a game set on a university campus, that also has scenes in a local bar, everywhere feels a little…empty. One scene sees you enjoying the ‘Krampus’ party activities in aforementioned bar, and it’s essentially the handful of characters you engage with and a few others dotted about. I’m not sure about you but if I went to a campus party I’d hope for more than 12 people…Another nitpick is the sound - sometimes two NPCs will be talking, you’ll walk you to them and the voices will get quieter. Turn your back and the volume ramps up. It’s a little off-putting - and also something so noticed in LiS: True Colours, so it’s slightly disappointing to see it’s still an issue.I digress though - I genuinely enjoyed playing through the 5 episodes. Max is an engaging if possibly slightly over earnest character and, as a fan of the original Max Caulfield adventures, it was great seeing where her story had taken her. The game itself is a mystery and there were plenty of twists and turns I didn’t see coming. And even the ones I did were well done. Graphically it’s the best LiS yet and the settings were interesting and varied - I didn’t mind the fact I had to, in a sense, explore everything twice over depending on what ‘reality’ I was in because there were interesting differences in each reality.If you like these kind of slow-paced, story-driven games, then Double Exposure is worthy of your time - though I have to say I was happy I got it in the sale for around £30.

Really enjoyed this game I have been seeing some hate online because they split up Max and Chloe in the bae ending but in my opinion the ending of this game suggested they may get meet again and I always found their relationship a little toxic anyways so I'm not bothered either way.

Everything is tedious, making you search every little thing in every scene. Worst game by far in an otherwise good series. I recommend you try it via ps plus when available as its not worthy of the purchase. Its just not fun or engaging.
