Deck Nine and Hannah Telle Talk Life is Strange: Double Exposure
Last month Life is Strange: Double Exposure released, continuing the story of Max Caulfield, a girl with the ability to manipulate time. When Life is Strange first debuted in early 2015, developer Dontnod Entertainment used the popular episodic narrative structure to provide players with a different kind of story. Max was a normal high school girl going through the tumultuous period of growing up....[Read More]
Life is Strange: Double Exposure Review
Life is Strange has proved to be a surprisingly resilient series. In the same months of early 2015 I did a kind of triple feature, playing the first two The Walking Dead games and the first episode of Life is Strange. Despite taking almost an entire year to release all five episodes, DONTNOD’s tale of Max Caulfield felt like a cozy answer to Telltale Games’ breakout hit. Despite being ...[Read More]
Life is Strange 2 (Switch)
It’s hard to believe that eight years have passed since the release of Life is Strange. I fondly remember reviewing the first season, impressed by its sincerity and ability to differentiate itself from the trend of The Walking Dead-like narrative games. More surprising was the fact that Square Enix was branching into unknown territory. Troubled teens usually would only be explored in a fanta...[Read More]
Life is Strange Arcadia Bay Collection (Switch)
The Nintendo Switch (or any of Nintendo’s consoles, really) lacks story-driven games that change based on your choices. When you think of a deep and meaningful graphic adventure, you may immediately think of Batman: The Telltale Series, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, or even Detroit: Become Human. All of these games have a home on the PC and other consoles. Sony, in particular, has succeeded in r...[Read More]
Life is Strange: True Colors
Once Alex Chen left her bus and stepped foot in the small Colorado town of Haven Springs, I clicked the touchpad on my DualSense, checking her phone. I was greeted to a cluster of text messages to a character I had never met from characters I had never met, many that I never would across Life is Strange: True Colors‘ five chapters. The snooping would have to wait. Alex was on her way to meet...[Read More]

Life is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode 2
I’m a huge fan of Life is Strange. A few years back when the original was released I had a surprisingly good time with it, as the episodic-driven opus focused more on story and player-decision, rather than traditional gameplay design. It was one of those games where I thought everyone in the world would hate it, mainly because it’s more full motion video-structured, meaning empty on movement, rath...[Read More]
