As someone who really enjoyed the first Life is Strange, this is exciting to me! Life is Strange: Double Exposure returns to Caledon University with Max Caulfield taking centre stage once again.

"Max Caulfield, photographer-in-residence at the prestigious Caledon University, discovers her closest new friend Safi dead in the snow. Murdered. To save her, Max tries to Rewind time – a power she’s not used in years… Instead, Max opens the way to a parallel timeline where Safi is still alive and still in danger! Max realizes the killer will soon strike again – in both versions of reality. Only Max can Shift between the two parallel timelines to solve and prevent the same murder."

I hope they do the first game justice. Aside from the frustrating binary ending, it was a lot of fun with a lot of charm. There's both teenage identity and LGBT identity stuff that's done well. Something that the next games (prequel and such) just didn't capture - granted, I only know about it from the hobbydrama post, but nothing after the first main game really interested me to pick any of them up.
I liked Before The Storm. I didn’t like LiS1 though, I got bored really quickly with it.

I didn’t play LiS2, but I watched my partner play it. It was good. I liked the two brothers.

Quoting: damarrinOh, that is lovely. I tried playing LiS2, but bounced right off it not far in. A return of the protagonist from the first one is very welcome.
making the little brother the primary antagonist was extremely stupid. and i dont mean he was the big bad guy no the little brother was the cause of alot of the elder brothers problems throughout the game. i also played lis3 and i didnt like 2 or 3. i here before the storm was bad too. so i think the studio is just "going" back to what worked. but dont understand why life is strange 1 was so good. i think they are gonna botch it too

Before the Storm and True Colors (which I assume you mean by lis3) was made by Deck Nine (American studio) and not by Don't nod (French studio) who made Lis1. Deck Nine is also the studio that is making Double Exposure.

Quoting: jensOh very nice, I will certainly keep this in mind. I could relate much better with her character than with Chloe from the Prequel (or Sequel, don’t remember). So much that I’m embarrassed to say that I only finished the first game in the series.

Chloe was the protagonist in the prequel (Before the Storm) and was Max companion in Lis1.

I completely disagree, LiS2 is a great game. The little brother is not an antagonist. The whole point of the game is that you, the big brother, shape the world views of the little brother. What you tell him and what you have him do throughout the game matters, and plays a big role in the finale, instead of being a binary choice at the very end, like it was in LiS1.

Yeah the main antagonist in Lis2 was life (or rather society) itself. Can also be why so many was turned off by it when you play the big brother that is basically FFL and many might not find that entertaining to play.

Only complaint I have is that she doesn't look like herself. If I wasn't told she was Max, I wouldn't know. Still a good character design, but ya.
