Life is Strange: Double Exposure shared an early preview ahead of its official launch that shows a harrowing and emotional journey.
More often than not, narrative games get mislabeled as "playable movies" due to the nature of the genre. But the Life is Strange franchise was one of the more defining titles that turned the tide back when the original game was released in 2015.

At the time, the story of Max and Chloe resonated with so many people worldwide and the game truly emphasized player choice. Life is Strange set the bar high for many games in the genre to overcome and its sequels were no different.
But the latest game in the series seems to be aiming to one-up its own predecessors in ways no one could have expected. An early preview of Life is Strange: Double Exposure tells a new story that brings back Max and reminds fans just how much has changed since their original journey, according to Game Rant.

Players who previously played the original games who walk into the upcoming game with an open mind and love for Max will most likely be glad with what they find. The game introduces a new character, Safi, and her role in the story.
Another thing that some people who played the preview said is that Life is Strange: Double Exposure has a well-written Max. Developer Deck Nine removed her constant self-doubt and gave her a stronger personality as well as a clear motivation for her actions, Sports Illustrated said.
A Story That Emphasizes Player Choice
Despite this, the studio keeps a lot of the protagonist's dorkiness that makes her such a loveable character to fans of the franchise. Even the early stages of Life is Strange: Double Exposure shows players Max's deep personality.
However, some fans are a bit more cautious about the upcoming Life is Strange title. Some argue that Deck Nine's return to its roots could suggest pandering or a lack of creativity to do something new.
In Life is Strange: Double Exposure, Max is in a prestigious art school in a small, quiet town as a teacher. She then gets to meet Safi who later gets shot and killed. You must now use your newfound powers to discover what truly happened and try to prevent the misfortune, according to Hardcore Gamer.
