"Life is Strange: True Colors" is a breathtaking narrative-driven game that delivers an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. Set in the picturesque small town of Haven Springs, the game’s beautifully crafted world is filled with charm, mystery, and characters you genuinely care about. The visual design is stunning, with vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail that make every scene feel alive and atmospheric.

At the heart of the game is Alex Chen, one of the most compelling protagonists in the Life is Strange series. Her power—an empathic ability to sense and manipulate emotions—gives the story a unique twist, allowing players to experience not only her struggles but also the deep emotional states of those around her. This power adds layers of complexity to the choices you make, making every decision feel deeply personal and impactful.

The storytelling in True Colors is masterful, exploring themes of grief, love, friendship, and self-discovery in a way that feels genuine and heartfelt. The characters are wonderfully written, with each relationship feeling meaningful and fully realized, from Alex’s bond with her brother to her interactions with the townspeople. The emotional depth of the game is its greatest strength, with moments that will make you laugh, cry, and reflect on the importance of empathy.

Gameplay-wise, True Colors seamlessly blends exploration, puzzle-solving, and decision-making, with every action influencing how the story unfolds. The emotional choices are not just about right or wrong—they’re about understanding, compassion, and how Alex chooses to navigate the complex emotions of those around her. The game’s pacing is perfect, allowing for both quiet moments of reflection and dramatic, heart-pounding sequences.

The soundtrack, as always with the Life is Strange series, is phenomenal, setting the tone for every scene with hauntingly beautiful music that enhances the emotional impact of the story.

Overall, Life is Strange: True Colors is an unforgettable journey that explores the human condition in a way few games do. Its rich narrative, beautiful visuals, and deeply emotional core make it a must-play for anyone who loves story-driven games. It’s an experience that stays with you long after the final credits roll, reminding us of the power of empathy and connection!!
Honnestly I found the game below the other "life is strange", the story is not incredible, somewhat sloppy and rather short. The suspense is not too much there and even the final choice is not that important. The positive point, I would say, are the characters that I liked a lot like Steph and Ryan, but for the rest I remain somewhat disappointed by the result.
One of the better games i've played actually. The storytelling isn't anything exciting at all times, but it's moving and tells a story that many can probably relate to. I haven't really played any life is strange games, so this is the first one i've played in a while, so if ur looking to have a cozy time at home, i recommend this game wholeheartedly!
  • Cozy
  • Slow
I finally finished it after almost 15hrs of playtime and... IT WAS AMAZING

I do agree that it's a bit expensive considering the playtime you get out of it but the story, characters, graphics etc. were just great.

Personally I didn't really enjoy/connect to LiS 2

(nothing is ever going to top LiS + Before the Storm for me anyways)

but True Colors came very close to it.

The game finally gave me the nostalgic Life is Strange feeling that I was searching for.

And Alex Chen is such a good main character.

I literally can't say anything bad about this game except the pricing maybe

btw: I loved the small LiS easter eggs (Chloe's shirt on the wall in the record store, the wolf statue in the park, the hotdog man sticker on the pole...)
