i absolutely loved this game. i genuinely don’t understand the hate it gets bc i had such a lovely time playing it from start to finish. alex is genuinely such an amazing protagonist and she deserves the whole world. i absolutely loved getting to know everyone in haven springs and by the end of the game i genuinely didn’t want to leave. haven is so cosy, the scenery is absolutely gorgeous, the soundtrack is chefs kiss and the overall atmosphere is just perfect. i also loved the queer representation and all the little connections to the previous games. this game might be a lil slower than the other life is strange games, but i honestly loved that bc it gave me more time to appreciate all the characters and just enjoy being in haven springs. it handles grief, trauma and loss so beautifully and there were so many moments that genuinely made me emotional. i also rlly recommend playing the wavelengths dlc afterwards bc getting to see more of steph’s story was such a nice addition and made me love her character even more. overall it’s such a beautiful experience and one i’ll happily replay again. 10/10<3

Многими нелюбимая часть, но я ее обожаю. Мне очень нравится сила Алекс - чувствовать эмоции других. Игра так интересно и хорошо показывает, как другие люди видят мир, и что каждый видит его по-разному. Локации, персонажи, их дизайны и характеры - всё прекрасно. Я бы мог поставить этой части 10/10, как и первой части, но все же музыкальное сопровождение и история прям чуть-чуть не дотягивают до её уровня. Особенно люблю финальный диалог с Джедом.

Beautiful game: loved the message, loved the interactions, and its such an upgrade from Life is Strange 1 and 2. You can see more complicated facial features in expressions, better voice acting, overall the team did a phenomenal job. Every character feels so real.

You play as Alex Chen , a young woman emerging from years in foster care to reconnect with her brother Gabe in the idyllic mountain town of Haven Springs , Colorado . Alex possesses supernatural empathy — she can see and feel other people’s emotions as colored auras, and sometimes absorb those emotions herself. The power works less like a traditional game mechanic and more like a storytelling lens focused on trauma, vulnerability, and emotional connection. Haven Springs is the game’s greatest achievement. Unlike the road-trip structure of Life is Strange 2 , the single-town setting allows relationships to breathe. The town feels intimate, cozy, and believable, filled with characters who gradually become emotionally important to Alex — and to the player. Critics consistently highlighted Haven Springs as one of the series’ strongest settings. The central mystery surrounding Gabe ’s death drives the plot, but the real strength lies in quieter moments: rooftop conversations, record-store hangouts, a surprisingly charming LARP sequence, and reflective “zen moments” where the game pauses simply to let you exist in the world. Mechanically, Life is Strange: True Colors remains a classic narrative adventure: exploration, dialogue choices, relationship management, and occasional environmental puzzles. The empathy mechanic creates some interesting interactions, particularly when Alex absorbs another character’s overwhelming emotional state. Visually, this is the best-looking Life is Strange game. Lighting, facial animation, and environmental detail represent a major leap for the series. The art direction balances realism with painterly warmth, perfectly complementing the emotional tone. The soundtrack is outstanding. Indie folk, ambient tracks, and emotional acoustic pieces continue the franchise tradition of using music as emotional punctuation. Life is Strange: True Colors succeeds because of emotional authenticity rather than narrative complexity. It trades shocking twists for sincerity, creating a warm, melancholic story about grief, identity, and human connection. While the mystery and player-choice systems are weaker than they could have been, Alex Chen and Haven Springs carry the experience with remarkable charm. For fans of narrative-driven games, character-focused storytelling, and emotionally intimate adventures, it is one of the strongest entries in the series. 9/10 DISASTER | BAD | MEDIOCRE | OKAY | GOOD | GREAT | AMAZING | MASTERPIECE Reviewed on: Win11 Home 64-bit, Intel i5-11600K, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB PRIME, 32GB DDR4-3600 RAM, 2 x Kingston NV1 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD, Internet Broadband 1000/1000 Mbit If you like this review, then please consider giving it a thumbs up.
