Life is Strange: Double Exposure Reviews

💔I like all parts of Life is Strange💔 💔Obviously this part turned out worse than the others, but it has a place to be💔 💔There are some stuffy moments in this part, but the story is not bad💔[spoiler]💔A very weak ending to the game💔[/spoiler] 💔I hope the developers will release another new part of the game in 2026-2027💔

yeah....nah fam, this wasnt it I agree with what many others have already complained about regarding this game as a "follow up" of LiS 1, so no need to repeat them. BUT I haven't seen anyone make the observation that part of the problem with this installment is that it LACKS A DEFINITIVE VILLAIN. Think about it! LiS 1 had Jefferson, BtS had angry drug dealer knife guy (forgot his name), LiS 2 had institutional racism and hatred that you had to not only fight but also resist from retaliating with too much violence, even TC had Jed (saying the "I condemn you" line at the end was soooooo satisfying). What villain did DE have? Lucas? Sure he's a narcissistic [spoiler] fraud [/spoiler] ...but were talking about serial killer, hate crime, corporate cover up manslaughter tier evil. Lucas is not on that level and [spoiler] Maya's death wasn't written with nearly as much impact as Rachel's [/spoiler] So who does that leave? Safi? The [spoiler] impish shapeshifter [/spoiler] who we were tryingthe entire time just to save, even though she's not the person or friend we thought she was? How unsatisfying is that? It makes the entire story seem pointless. There's no closure, just uninteresting cliffhanger bait. Nothing was resolved. Everything kinda just...ended. so glad there was a sale when I got it...imagine spending $50+ on this

WTF. Devs really did Chloe dirty. She was a huge reason I loved life is strange to begin with and this is how the new team wants to go? To piss off the majority of their fan base? I'm just going to put this back on the shelf and pretend this game was never made to protect the precious memories I have from the original team who made the first game so great. Chloe deserves better than this.

[h1] Amazing game but it didn't FEEL like Life is Strange[/h1] I first played Life is Strange in 2018 and I was COMPLETELY and UTTERLY obsessed with that game. I played it, i watched youtube videos about it, I constantly listened to the soundtracks(and still do to this day), I replayed it, I daydreamed about it like i was a part of it, I drew fanart of it, I watched conspiracy theories about that game and reflected on them and yada yada yada many things. I loved it but what made me obsessed with the game was the style. [b] The way every texture and 3d model felt handpainted, the colors of the game, [u]THE MUSIC ESPECIALLY THE MUSIC[/u] these things were missing in this game [/b].Tbh I didn't have expectations that this game would hit the same way after I saw how disappointing Lis True Colors was. This game had the same issues but [b]I wish the directors just stuck with the style of the first 3 games[/b]. The music was wack unlike in Lis, Lis Bts and Lis 2 there were probably 2 songs in total which i liked but with the other games (except true colors) i liked every song to such an extend that I listened to Lis soundtrack playlists on the daily even 7 years later I still do. I replayed the games and rewatched gameplay videos of them because it was soo pleasing to look at and listen to, the first 3 games genuinely felt like passion art projects. [h3] This game just felt like any big triple A released game.. High quality but bland, flavorless, lacks personality. [/h3] [b] Hyperrealistic graphics, boring songs, not a lot of references or easter eggs like [h2] the game looked polished but felt souless [/h2] [/b] Anyways it's time for actual game critiques - I liked the game but the choices didn't really affect almost anything which is typical for LIS games but here it was to an extreme and I think they did that so it doesn't affect the sequal of this game... I don't think this game should have a sequal different game they should've just made more chapters to actually finish the story - I don't like how there is a lot more focus on Amanda, than on Vihn. I chose to date both of them because I wanted to see what this game has to offer and I noticed that the Amanda storyline felt a lot more polished than Vihn's and not only that but she is thrown in as a love option literally the first second we get launched into the game. Amanda is designed to be very conventionally attractive while Vihn is mid.. The story behind Vihn is confusing and muddy. The game painted him in a negative sus light all throughout the final love option and showed his true colors after the decision has been made. Why wasn't his love story with Sofi explored further? It's like the gamedevs just wanted us to hate him. I know they're biased because this is a woke liberal studio but come on... [spoiler]- The ending confused me XD. The Refuse option means that Sofi becomes an enemy while the Accept option means the opposite. If this game gets a sequel no one will pick that they've chosen the Refuse option after they see Sofi turn into Max and leave..... Everyone will use their rewind powers and lie that they've picked the accept ending since they saw the egoistic side of Sofi which is going to abuse her powers and be a menance to the main character in the sequel. The consequences of the refuse ending will really hit in.[/spoiler] - The game was very blurry and weird looking on my Monitor and it looked normal only on TV. Idk why but on my monitor it seemed very blurry and low quality even tho I was using the cinematic settings. I screenshared the game to my TV screen and that fixed the problem but I have no idea what I would've done if I didn't have a television. [h3] Otherwise the story was very interesting and I had a lot of fun playing it, I don't regret purchasing it [/h3]

For someone who has played through all of these games, this is easily my least favorite entry. It felt like they took all of what Don't Nod built up with max and destroyed it. It is obvious that the original dev did not make this game. If you liked the original Life is Strange, do yourself a favor and go play Lost Records Bloom and Rage.

Do not BUY THİS GAME, not fun, not enjoyable, bad story and a really bad ending to a bad story (that's not an easy achievement). Not worth anyone's time. The graphics are good though.

eski oyunun hissettirdigi nostaljiyi hissettirmedi oyunun geneli guzeldi ama herkesin gucu olmasi cok sacma, zaten en basinda oyunun ana konusu max'in gucleri ustune, bunda ama herkeste birden super guc oldu, geneli guzel ama karakterler, muzikler, ve hikaye life is strange'deki gibi bag kurulasi degildi puanim 6/10

What the hell was that Deck Nine? First of all: Optimization, it looks like they didn't even try, my PC - R5 7600, RTX3060 12GB, 32GB of RAM and the game on M.2 SSD, and I don't even have stable 60fps on high settings, didn't even try the highest, on average 30-38fps. I somewhat enjoyed this game, until Chapter 5 began. Everything started to go downhill with Chapter 4. They completely ruined what DON'T NOD built, they completely forgot that LiS 1 even happened, I can't get into it without spoiling but just be warned that you will be absolutely disappointed (and confused tbh) if you played and loved Life is Strange. And that ending was ridiculous, from the looks of it they want to make Double Exposure 2 or something in the image of freaking Avengers???? That's insane. I know one thing for sure - I'm not buying another Life is Strange made by Deck Nine, they're on my blacklist of "not buying anything from them" now. What a waste of my money and time. But if you still want to see how bad it is with your own eyes - do it but get in on a BIG sale, like at least -70%, and don't buy the Deluxe nor Ultimate edition, you will regret it like I do, I should've listened to these negative reviews, maybe I would still believe that part of Life is Strange is still alive, but no... Deck Nine killed it Man, what did they do to my poor Life is Strange... I want the return of DON'T NOD soo bad. Thank you for reading my yapping, good day

Game is pretty good although the last 2 episodes felt like they were a little too quick

Great engine, great graphics, and that's where the list of things that are great stops. I dunno who they wrote this game for -- if you're a fan of the original game, you're going to be flabbergasted by how Max acts and reacts to things -- like she's an entirely different person. I'm willing to get past the fact that Chloe isn't in the game (how could she be without removing the choice from the first game), but I'm soured by the fact that the new characters are bland and forgettable. The ending being a vague cliffhanger for more games really doesn't sit well either -- this game wasn't great, you think I'm gonna buy the next one when you didn't even give me a good ending in this one no matter what choice I made? No thanks, after multiple missteps, I'm going to skip the rest of Deck Nine's attempts in this series.
