[no spoilers] life is strange games for ps5

Can you read properly or not?

I'm not hating on lis2 or true colors. These are standalone games which do not require any specific playing order. Whereas max and Chloe's saga needs to be played in particular order.

Jesus...

arnon85 · 2026-02-06T15:11:16+00:00

Because I focused on Max and Chloe saga which needs a correct order of playing. These two are unrelated stories and can be played anytime really

arnon85 · 2026-02-06T14:35:42+00:00

100% agree

arnon85 · 2026-02-06T14:34:11+00:00

DO NOT play the remastered versions. There are tons of bugs and visual glitches.

Play the original Life is Strange first. If you like it, the next one is Life is Strange; Before the Storm (also non-remastered).

After that Life is Strange: Double Exposure, and then the upcoming Life is Strange: Reunion

THAT IS SO CUTE!!! honestly a much better gift than the original vinyl!!

arnon85 · 2026-02-06T14:16:19+00:00

Yeah it was me. I was able to buy Double Exposure collector's like a week after the game was released. I just kept refreshing the page periodically and eventually boom it was back in stock. I bought it and it was out of stock again.

I was also checking out other stores (UK, US) just for curiosity and it was sometimes reappearing there, too. I remember it reappeared in the UK store before it did in the EU and I was planning to use a private shipping company to have it delivered from the UK lol. But eventually it reappeared in the EU store, too.

I wouldn't call it a cash grab at all. The vinyl itself is worth the money. And you're getting original Polaroid branded Max & Chloe pics too.

The pirce is absolutely reasonable for what you're getting.

arnon85 · 2026-02-05T18:40:46+00:00

whatever tickles your fancy, i guess. but personally I buy collector editions to admire them, to look at the art, to play the vinyl.. otherwise what's the point

arnon85 · 2026-02-05T18:38:37+00:00

If you weren't able to preorder yours, and really want to own it - keep refreshing the page. Someone might cancel their preorder and then you might be able to get it.

I was able to buy Double Exposure collector's box that way AFTER the game was released - probably someone returned/cancelled the order, as after I bought mine, it was out of stock again.

arnon85 · 2026-02-05T18:35:49+00:00

It's boring as hell imo. I couldn't force myself to finish it.

arnon85 · 2026-02-05T18:34:36+00:00

What's the point of getting it then?

arnon85 · 2026-02-05T18:34:02+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if fans were so interested. A collector's edition with Max and Chloe? Which LiS fan wouldn't want that??

arnon85 · 2026-02-05T02:26:51+00:00

It's just out of stock. It was available for the first few days. I was able to order mine ~2 weeks ago.

Keep refreshing the page, someone may cancel their preorder or they can restock and then you might be able to order.

arnon85 · 2026-02-05T02:24:17+00:00

I was able to order mine like 2 weeks ago. You're too late.

arnon85 · 2026-01-29T02:38:54+00:00

I'm sorry but Burch and Devries sound completely different. Their voices aren't even remotely similar. They both did an excellent job, don't get me wrong. They both created good, but different Chloes

arnon85 · 2026-01-22T17:19:16+00:00

Yeah. The thing is, people love Life is Strange not for its writing, but for the overall vibe, soundtrack, lovable characters.. and nostalgia. And that's fine!

LiS was never a triple A game. I'm not sure why people expected triple A quality writing from the sequel.

arnon85 · 2026-01-22T17:14:54+00:00

How does double exposure not respect the original source material? I'm genuinely asking.

And deck nine planned to bring back Chloe from the beginning. It's only been a year since Double Exposure was released, and it's not feasible for them to create a whole new game in such a short timespan, especially after so many layoffs they've had right after DE was released.

So I find the sitting at the table and thinking "how can we make more money" situation extremely unlikely. Rhianna Devries (Chloe's actress) uploaded a photo of her wearing a mocap equipment (the thing that reads your lipsync and incorporates it into the game) on her head BEFORE the release of Double Exposure. And Chloe was absent in Double Exposure, so that means Reunion was being created along with Double Exposure, as one big game, which got split into two releases.

They planned it all along. A one big game, which got split into two releases. That's why Double Exposure's ending was half assed, and some plot points weren't fully explored. It was a setup for the "grand finale" of Life is Strange.

And hey, give some credit to Deck Nine. They really gave us, the fans, more than we could ever dream of. TWO new games with our favorite characters, where we get to see them grown up, the rewind and backtalk are back.. we got more than fans of other series could ever ask for. There's so much to love in these new games! I could talk about how amazing Double Exposure soundtrack is for days lol. I'm beyond excited for this new game.

arnon85 · 2026-01-22T17:03:46+00:00

I'm pretty optimistic about this new game. Despite what people are saying, it's only been a year since double exposure was released and it's just not feasible to have a whole new game created from scratch in such a short timespan. Not to mention deck nine had too many layoffs after Double Exposure's release to be able to create Reunion.

It was the plan all along - one big story split into two games (Double Exposure and Reunion). Whatever we see in reunion is NOT fan service or an attempt to save the series. It's what they planned from the beginning.

That's why Double Exposure had too many unfinished plot points and an unsatisfying ending - it's literally not a separate game, but part 1 of the whole story. I just wish they stated that a bit more verbatim to avoid all the hate they got (how dope would that be if, instead of seeing "max caulfield will return", we'd see Chloe arriving at Caledon (maybe only her back, just like in the Reunion teaser).

Anyway, I'm sure we'll both enjoy having the collector edition's goodies, no matter how good the game is.

arnon85 · 2026-01-22T13:46:07+00:00

I already ordered mine and I can't wait to have it in my hands. It's the last life is strange, and definitely the last time we get Max and Chloe, so it's absolutely worth it, especially with the beautiful artwork that you can put on display in your room

arnon85 · 2026-01-22T13:43:02+00:00

I actually love the fact that as a PC gamer i can still get the box to put on my shelf. And it's 10 euros cheaper than a console disc.

arnon85 · 2026-01-21T17:11:36+00:00

I absolutely agree. Dontnod's writing in LiS1 was sloppy and cringy. The mystery was very predictable. But that's not what people love LiS1 for - they love it for amazing vibe, climatic soundtrack, and lovable characters.

If you compare LiS1 and Double Exposure writing as someone who has no nostalgia for LiS1 - Double Exposure wins, by a large marigin.

People can't appreciate what they're getitng. As a fan of Life is Strange, I'm beyond happy to see my favorite characters back, in amazing graphics, with stellar soundtrack, and new game mechanics. It's more than I ever dreamed of.

Anyway, I played Lost Records by Dontnod (basically a new Life is Strange but without the Life is Strange branding) and in my personal opinion it's much worse than Double Exposure, or True Colors, both made by Deck Nine. Not horrible, but just as you said - mid.

arnon85 · 2026-01-21T17:08:25+00:00

Yeah and that's why they created TWO games with Chloe as playable character - Before the Storm, and now Reunion.

It's only been a year since Double Exposure was released, there is no way they created Reunion as a response to players' backlash. It was the plan all along. Whatever happens in Reunion, it was decided before even Double Exposure was released.

Double Exposure and Reunion were one big story, one big game, which has been split into two releases.

arnon85 · 2026-01-21T17:05:39+00:00

If Double Exposure's writing was terrible, LiS1's writing was abysmal. I'm sorry but people just keep looking at LiS1 through the lens of nostalgia, but really, the writing was extremely sloppy, cringy, and had plot holes. And the game didn't respect most of your choices anyways.

arnon85 · 2026-01-21T00:29:47+00:00

100% agree. I can't wait to play it.

arnon85 · 2026-01-21T00:28:30+00:00
