Life Is Strange: Double Exposure (NSW)

So Glad Max is Back!
I have to admit I was a littleee bit nervous (but also excited) finding out there was going to be a new Life is Strange game with Max in it. After years of thinking her story had ended and that there was no way to continue on from the two vastly different possible endings from the first, I didn’t know what to expect.Honestly, this game is good. Really good. I’ve seen a lot of negativity about it, but I think a lot of that stems on the fear of ruining nostalgia and not liking the direction they took with Chloe. I don’t want to spoil anything, but they do a nice job of dealing with either ending you chose in the first one fitting into Max’s life. They absolutely don’t forget that she was a big part of Max’s story and she is still a part of this one, just in a different way.There were quite a few references back to the OG game that made me smile (and feel old).I love this more mature and lively 28 year old Max. She’s still true to the way she was in the first game but I think they’ve improved her a lot. The other characters are very likeable as well and the game itself is beautiful. They’ve come such a long way with graphics and animation. I’m very impressed!I’d absolutely recommend getting this game. I’ve always held the first Life is Strange dear in my heart, and I enjoyed this just as much.

Early Birthday gift to myself!
I love all the life is strange games! This is definitely a great purchase to add to my collection. Although I let someone borrow it haha. Hopefully I see it again but at least I finished it! It was really good. I wish the episodes weren’t so few. 5 long episodes are decent but I love these games so much I just never want it to end haha. Anyway, love the creators and I pray you all continue bringing us these cool well thought out games! I love y’all and God bless!

The sequel that should have been made years ago
Please be aware: multiple spoilers. Don’t read if you don’t want to know what happens. First, as a preamble, let me advise the reader that I played this game all the way through before venturing to review it, unlike others. It was a welcome addition to the LIS franchise; actually, the game I’ve been waiting for since the original. These are story-based games, and so I found LIS 2 and LIS true colors terribly disappointing, because the narratives were bad. I can honestly say that no story-based game has been as good as the original life is strange, in my opinion, though it’s been years since that came out. This game, which is a proper sequel, comes closer than any other that I have played, yet it has its flaws. The positives, which are many: fantastic sound track, many pop culture references, improved graphics, amazing art. An intellectual environment that I don’t believe has ever been equaled in a video game. Multiple decisions that profoundly alter how the story plays out. I would say fantastic, utterly fantastic, just what fans have been craving for years, but for the negatives: a story that is simply too convoluted to invest in, and what is much more important, a lack of heart. The original game featuring max had Kate, Victoria, and Warren, among others, whose backstories were practically guaranteed to make even the hard core gamer tear up. There is nothing similar here. We have a romance between max and Amanda which is kind of cute, but that’s about all. I never felt particularly friendly towards safi. Lastly, and admittedly not as important, the game’s end is not satisfying. It is obvious that whoever wrote it wasn’t done, and if they were made to feel done, they knew in their hearts it was not so. I enjoyed playing this game immensely, but it still needs a lot of work to make it as culturally significant as the first Life is Strange. Worth your money? Definitely. Disappointing? I’m afraid so.

Loved it
I’ve loved them all and this one did not disappoint either. Of course I played through it in a weekend so now I’m ready for the next.

Nous sommes très satisfait de ce jeu!
