I’ve played the first two chapters of Life is Strange: Double Exposure — and now I’m concerned

I’m a recent (but enthusiastic) Life is Strange convert. My journey with the series began first with Life is Strange: True Colors and its DLC, and from there, I went back to the very beginning and played the game that started it all, and totally got why Max’s story hooked quite so many players all those years ago.

So, when Life is Strange: Double Exposure was confirmed to be reuniting us with a depowered Max Caulfield who was now settling into college life, I was excited to be there at launch and to be drawn into Max’s next mystery.

Having had early access to the first two chapters on PlayStation 5, I’m pleased to say the game feels exactly like what you’d expect from a new Life is Strange game; these first two chapters set up an intriguing (and emotional) new supernatural whodunnit in and around Max’s new haunt, Caledon University, and introduce us to a fresh cast of interesting characters.
