It is FINALLY time! It's the big one. What we've all been waiting for. Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast — the flagship Life Is Strange podcast made by fans for fans — returns with an all-new episode! Yup, there is only one topic on hand for this StrangeCast episode: Life Is Strange: Double Exposure.

After months and months of covering Life Is Strange: Double Exposure — the latest entry in the beloved Square Enix franchise from developer Deck Nine — Adnan and Adam sit down for their long-awaited review and spoilercast episode for the latest title from the Life Is Strange: True Colors and Before the Storm studio.

Our review system for Double Exposure uses a 10-point scale as part of a five-star rating, meaning our score can include half-star ratings. Adnan and Adam reveal their individual scores for Double Exposure before coming to a consensus on StrangeCast's overall rating.

For transparency: Adnan and Adam reviewed Double Exposure using copies bought on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X respectively. Neither Adnan nor Adam bought or played the Life Is Strange: Double Exposure Ultimate Edition. We did not reach out to publisher Square Enix for review keys, nor were we ever approached about receiving copies of Double Exposure.
