It’s been a busy time lately with new game releases popping up left, right and center – which means we haven’t gotten around to writing a review for Life is strange: double exposure here at Pure Xbox. However, the game itself is started tomorrow and some early reviews are starting to go live – so we thought we’d gather some early impressions for the new Life is Strange title.
Without further ado, here’s what people are saying about Life is Strange: Double Exposure:
“If you just want a cool supernatural mystery, it delivers that. If you want more, it offers that too. It’s not flawless, but it’s so good that the flaws don’t matter, at least to me. a human being and a fan of the genre, I can’t recommend it Double exposure more enthusiastic.”
IGN (9/10)
“After several attempts to recapture what made the original Life is Strange so enduring, developer Deck Nine Games has really knocked it out of the park with Life is Strange: Double Exposure. This is a worthy sequel to a game that captured the hearts and minds of millions of people in 2015, including myself. The writing is great, the music is excellent, the cinematography and acting are top notch, and Max’s new powers fit the murder mystery structure in a fun and intuitive way.
“Life is Strange: Double Exposure tackles the difficult task of continuing the story of a beloved character and successfully executes in a way that respects the series’ legacy while moving the franchise forward. With strong writing and a cast of compelling characters, this science-fiction murder mystery keeps you involved at every turn. While closely tied to its predecessors and a potentially divisive finale, this expansion of Max’s story showcases Deck Nine’s expertise as one of the industry’s leaders in narrative games.
“Double Exposure may fall a little short compared to some of the previous games in the series, but the return of Max Caulfield is still a riveting (and wild) ride. Max is as caring and sympathetic as ever. We loved spending time with her again – from her admirably clumsy attempts at flirting early on to the dramatic, if slightly uneven, climax – and would more than welcome further stories with her.
“The exploration of forces left me wanting more. Fans of Life is Strange will likely get more out of the experience than those going cold turkey, but Double Exposure is worth a look if you want to get stuck in a twisty mystery – although I’d still say it’s It’s worth trying the original first.”
“If we seem like we’re following this latest outing for the series, it’s only because we know how unique and entertaining it can be. Double Exposure isn’t a bad game, it’s just not the series at its best. loses some of that inviting atmosphere, with Caledon paling in comparison to Haven Springs or Arcadia Bay, and the story suffers from an overreliance on the supernatural. But we’d be lying if we said it wasn’t great to see Max Caulfield return and we still think it’s worth a watch if you’re a fan of the series.”
