LiS: Double Exposure
Release Date: October 29, 2024
The fourth part of the popular adventure game series and also a sequel of the first game. Life is Strange: Double Exposure allows us to play as Max Caulfield again. She must use her powers to rewind time and switch between realities to stop the murder of her friend Safi.
Life is Strange: Double Exposure is the fourth main part of Life is Strange, a series of adventure games launched in 2015. The development of this sequel was handled by Deck Nine studio, which already has in its portfolio both Life is Strange: Before the Storm and Life is Strange: True Colors.
Life is Strange: Double Exposure is a continuation of the story from the first part of the series, starting a few years later. The main character of the game is Max Caulfield, who has the power to manipulate time, and is now a photographer at the prestigious Caledon University. When our protagonist discovers the body of her friend - Safi - who has been murdered, she decides to use her long-unused ability to turn back time.
Instead, the girl opens a passage to a parallel reality in which Safi is still safe and sound. Knowing that the murderer will soon launch an attack, this time in both dimensions, Max must do everything in her power to stop the killer from committing the crime, while avoiding the relentless detective who is hot on her heels.
Interestingly, at the beginning of the game we can choose which of the two available endings of Life is Strange is canon for the purpose of this new story.
In Life is Strange: Double Exposure we watch the action from a third-person perspective (TPP). Unlike the first installment of the series, the main character can not only turn back time, but also jump between dimensions. Max uses this ability, conducting an investigation spread between two realities, which is the pillar of the gameplay.
We explore the Caledon University campus, meet various characters, talk to people and build relationships, gradually uncovering the next elements of the plot. During the adventure we make decisions that affect the course of the story and its ending.

Life is Strange Double Exposure Review: Undeveloped Film
Max Caulfield is back after meeting her in the first Life is Strange. Her return is not what you would expect it to be considering her new game’s story is not as compelling as the first.

Autumn is outside the window, and in our hearts we have Diablo 4 DLC, Silent Hill 2 Remake, next Call of Duty, and Dragon Age. There will also be Life is Strange and Dragon Ball, with no worries - there is also room for something new!
Life is Strange: Double Exposure captivated gamers with its storyline, but fans are annoyed with early access, and on top of that, some people are complaining that one of the endings of the first installment of the series was treated too lightly.

Hardcore Gamer: 3 / 5 by Kyle LeClair
Whatever promise Life is Strange: Double Exposure has, be it in its beautiful setting, fun and likable characters, or its intriguing setup, ends up being undermined by a scattershot narrative that never comes together. And unfortunately, with a lack of any substantial gameplay or meaningful choices, that leaves this as just a so-so adventure game at best, and what is arguably the lowest-ranking game in the series. Hopefully Life is Strange can rebound back, but for now, it's not a pretty picture.
Digital Spy: 4 / 5 by Jess Lee
Double Exposure may fall a little short when compared to some of the previous games in the series, but Max Caulfield's return is still a riveting (and wild) ride. Max is as caring and likeable as ever. We loved spending time with her again – from her adorably awkward attempts at flirting at the start through to the dramatic if slightly uneven climax – and would more than welcome further stories with her.
Cubed3: 7 / 10 by Chris Leebody
Life is Strange: Double Exposure offers up some delightfully engrossing story beats and it's easy to get wrapped up in the mystery of the tale. There's a lot to like here with Max's character development feeling fulfilling and the potential for this arc to spawn an even wider tale if the twist at the end is anything to go by. Generally speaking, the performances of the cast are all of a high quality. Where Double Exposure somewhat loses its focus is during the final chapter or two, when the plot seems to fully lean into the supernatural beyond the interesting character development. Some general technical issues with dialogue and graphics also unfortunately result in a frustrating sense of being stripped out of the immersion. Overall, for fans of the series and those who just like a good adventure tale, Double Exposure is worth enjoying.
