Life is Strange: True Colors: Beautiful on the Outside, Complicated on the Inside Going into Life is Strange: True Colors, I wasn’t expecting another Life is Strange (1) level emotional breakdown… but I was hoping for something close. And what I got instead was a game that is visually beautiful, emotionally sincere at times… but also strangely distant in ways I didn’t expect. Let me make one thing clear from the start, I don’t play these games for anything else except story, emotions, atmosphere, and direction. That’s it. And in some of those areas, this game shines. In others… it struggles. Story & Emotion: Strong Start, Softer Impact The story revolves around Alex Chen and her ability to feel and absorb other people’s emotions, which is honestly a very unique and interesting concept. It gives the game a different kind of depth, not explosive, not dramatic in the usual sense, but quiet, personal, and human. At first, I was hooked. The small-town setting, the music, the atmosphere… it all felt warm and immersive. But as the story progressed, something started to feel off. The emotional connection I usually feel in this series just wasn’t hitting the same way. It’s not that the story is bad, it’s just… not as powerful as the previous entries. Even reviews point out that while the game is emotional, the central mystery and ending don’t hit as hard and can feel a bit underwhelming or predictable. And for a Life is Strange game, that’s a big deal. Characters: Good, But Missing That Magic Alex is a good protagonist. In fact, many people consider her one of the better ones in the series because of how natural she feels. But here’s the problem, I didn’t connect with the characters the same way I did with Max, Chloe, or even Sean and Daniel. They’re well-written, yes. They feel real, yes. But they don’t stay with you after the game ends. And that emotional attachment is exactly what made the earlier games unforgettable. World & Presentation: Absolutely Beautiful Now this is where the game truly shines. Haven Springs is probably one of the most beautiful and detailed locations in the entire series. It feels cozy, alive, and peaceful, like a place you’d actually want to visit and stay in for a while. The facial animations, voice acting, and music are top-tier. The performances feel natural, and the soundtrack carries that familiar Life is Strange vibe that just hits differently. There were moments where I just stopped playing and sat there thinking, “Yeah… this is why I love this series.” Gameplay: Simple but Effective Gameplay is pretty much what you expect from a Life is Strange game, exploring, making choices, interacting with people, and uncovering bits of the story. Alex’s empathy power is interesting, but it doesn’t feel as impactful or game-changing as previous abilities in the series. It’s more subtle, more emotional, but also less engaging in terms of gameplay. Also, let’s be honest, this game is not very long. Once it ends, you kind of sit there thinking, “That’s it?” Pros: [*]Beautiful world and atmosphere [*]Strong voice acting and emotional soundtrack [*]Unique empathy-based power [*]Cozy, immersive small-town setting [*]Some genuinely heartfelt moments Cons: [*]Story lacks impact compared to earlier games [*]Characters don’t connect as deeply [*]Short experience for the price [*]Choices feel limited in consequence [*]Ending feels a bit rushed or safe Final Thoughts: Life is Strange: True Colors is a good game… but not a great one. It has heart. It has beauty. It has moments where it reminds you why this series is special. But it also feels like it’s playing things a bit too safe, a bit too soft, and not taking the emotional risks that made the earlier titles unforgettable. I don’t hate it. I don’t regret playing it. But I also don’t feel that same emptiness I felt after finishing the first game… that feeling where you just sit there, staring at the screen, not ready to move on. 7/10 - Recommended, but don’t expect it to hit your soul the same way the earlier games did.

I spend most of my time feeling other people’s emotions, trying to fix what hurts and help however I can. Yet no one seems to notice how I feel. That’s why Life Is Strange: True Colors feels so powerful — and so heartbreaking. For me, it’s the best entry in the Life Is Strange series, because it understands what it means to carry everyone else’s feelings while being unseen yourself.

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.
