Critic Reviews
VG247
By Rebecca JonesAs ever with Life is Strange, the vibes of this game are perfectly suited to the story it sets out to tell — even if the details get muddled sometimes.

By Ariel Chloe MannLife is Strange: Double Exposure is a story-based title with a nonsensical story, rendering every other positive aspect completely unenjoyable.

By Chris LeebodyLife 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.

By Michael TausendpfundEssentially, Life is Strange – Double Exposure is more of the same. But that's exactly what I expect from the series. The story is really great and captivates the player from the very beginning. With numerous twists and turns, it remains exciting and varied, and the well-written characters immediately draw you into the game's atmosphere. Only the ending is a bit too hectic for my personal taste and could have done with a bit of the calm of the first two chapters. The game also suffers from occasional stuttering in quality mode and a lack of lip sync in the German dubbing. Despite all this, the German voice actors do a really good job. Fans of the series shouldn't be disappointed and can look forward to another must-have title, even if it doesn't quite match the quality of the first games.

ByI'm not sure if Deck Nine has forgotten what the Life is Strange series should really be about or if Square Enix is pushing to make the series easier to sell; However, the path the franchise is taking does not appeal to me and the end of the game ends up leaving a bitter taste for the future. For fans of the franchise, I think you should play it and draw your own conclusions. The game isn't so bad that it's painful to play, as you'll at least be entertained by what's happening. However, I do not recommend playing it on Nintendo Switch, I really recommend that you try to play on another platform.
