Another impressive game from Deck Nine! The story captivated me once again, the soundtrack made a huge contribution to the atmosphere, and the small-town setting was incredibly engaging. Overall, it was an outstanding gaming experience that I’d be happy to recommend!

This is my favourite ever Life is Strange game. I love the story telling, I love how they made Alex and Steph the people they are. It's honestly a good buy!

I love all the LiS games (we don't talk about DE), and True Colors is no exception. Alex is a fun and complex character that feels very in line with LiS protagonists; you get to be nerdy, make horrible puns/jokes, attend a LARP, all while also feeling some intense emotions and navigating some heavy topics. Going through Alex's backstory is one of my favorite parts of the game, as I relate to her in many ways and also feel for her. The ability to read people's emotions was well thought-out and fun to utilize, though nothing really tops Max's ability to rewind time from the first LiS. I enjoyed it more than the telekinesis in Lis2. I will admit, I wasn't a huge fan of this game the first time I played it, but I have now played it three times (100%'d it on PS4 and PS5 before now 100%ing on Steam) and it's grown on me, now deep-rooted as a favorite. The other characters are enjoyable to get to know, the scenery is gorgeous, the mystery of the story (trying not to give spoilers) will hit you hard, etc. Overall, I'd recommend this game - even if it isn't on sale, and I rarely say that.

Life is Strange: True Colors is a beautiful, emotionally charged game that keeps you hooked from start to finish. The characters are incredibly well-written, and the story is full of heart, offering moments of joy, sorrow, and everything in between. The ability to feel and experience emotions through the protagonist, Alex, is a unique and powerful mechanic that enhances the narrative. The world is vibrant, and the soundtrack is fantastic. The only reason it doesn't get a perfect 5 is that some of the choices feel a bit predictable at times, but overall, it’s an unforgettable journey. Highly recommend it! 4.5/5

I've been on a Life is Strange binge the last few weeks. I did the first, before the storm and now true colors. I played Life is Strange 2 a while back and it's still fresh in my memory. For the longest time, I thought of Life is Strange 2 as the best of its genre. But honestly, after playing this one, I have a hard time figuring out which one is the best between the two. It's hard to say much about the game without spoiling it. You're basically a girl that has been in the orphanage system for a few years due to family complications around the age of 11. Your brother tracks you down many years later and you meet him in this perfect little town. Then.. Life is Strange does its thing. As for the DLC, it is completely opposite to the base game in the sense that it felt like a chore to play. It is fairly expensive at that. You play a side character of the base game which you initially speak to during Life is Strange: Before the Storm (you don't need to have played any of the other games for this DLC to make sense). They could have made it so much better like the bonus episode of Before the Storm where it goes into the childhood of Max and Chloe. But for this DLC, you're locked in a single location doing work for a side character. Nothing really fantastic. If you want to support Deck Nine, feel free to get the dlc. But if you just want to experience all the content, I'd suggest a heavy sale for the DLC as it is very expensive for what it is. Side note, it has no achievements so for achievement hunters, the DLC is unneeded.
