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: 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 age 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.

Games from under this banner can be found primarily on PCs and consoles, but the first two have also appeared on mobile devices.
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.

Nintendo Life: 5 / 10 by Mitch Vogel
Life is Strange: Double Exposure is a perfectly enjoyable narrative adventure, but one which we'd strongly suggest you play elsewhere unless Switch is your only means. Timeline-hopping antics, a compelling murder mystery, and a cosy atmosphere all work strongly in this one's favour, but the Switch's hardware limitations lead to an experience that feels notably blunted due to the various visual cuts that had to be made to fit this one on the humble handheld. The story itself is a fine adventure that fans (especially of the first entry) may find worthwhile, but the value proposition on Switch makes it harder to justify that $50 price tag. We wouldn't say to outright avoid the Switch version, but we'd suggest you wait for a deep sale before diving in.
TheSixthAxis: 8 / 10 by Reuben Mount
Life is Strange: Double Exposure is a very easy game to recommend. If you have enjoyed previous games in the series, this is doing enough of the same to scratch that same lowkey mystery vibes itch. The ability to shift between timelines can become a touch overwhelming at times, but there's several things in place across the UI, accessibility options, and narrative flow to keep the gameplay smooth. What's more, I think this game might have redeemed Max Caulfield for me too, so take that how you will.
Capsule Computers: 7.5 / 10 by Travis Bruno
Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings Max back with a mystery full of twists and new superpowers that add a new layer to investigation but lacks the emotional punch the franchise is known for.
