In so many ways, True Colors is the only game in the series that holds a light to the first game. While this game is very narrow game play wise, it makes up for it in many ways. Secondary characters are dynamic with very lifelike development. Your choices can shape how characters interact with you and others later. Characters are also relatable. Their problems. Their feelings. Their actions. All of them feel real. Alex has a power/curse that really makes you run some thought experiments. Choices that should really make you think. And those choices aren't just blank slate "oh doing this is always wrong!" or "Its so obvious doing this is the right call." Alex's powers also grow and control over the game. Something that is really nice to see. The antagonizing force in the game also hits home. I won't spoil it, but especially in the United States it really helps to drive home the evil at play. Major Spoilers from here on! Read on at your own risk. The thing that really does it for me is that this game portrays the grieving process so diversely. Not everyone is just sad. Not everyone is "lock myself in my room till I'm better." Steph is sad about the lost potential of a beloved friend and partner in crime. Ryan and Charlotte are angry at how everything went down. Some people are scared at what it could mean. And even though we see life go on, we see that the grieving never really stops. The way emotions are portrayed is great. I was immersed from beginning to end both times I've played. Some scenes even brought me to tears. It is a shame though that the game really doesn't change in the end depending on any choices you make. All your choices have small outcomes. There is a powerful scene at the end where these choices can thematically help you, but functionally, every game will end exactly the same. The only thing that changes is the final cinematic and that only matters for romance choices. I would have like to have seen a secret morality mechanic or a "does 3 or more council members support you in the end" lead to different outcomes the way 2 had an affinity system. All in all this is a game I have played more than once of my own volition. And I will likely play it again. Is it perfect? No. Is it the best game in the series. Not a shot. Do a Recommend it? Well, there is a blue thumbs up isn't there?

When I first picked up Life is Strange: True Colors, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was a bit hesitant, but wow, I’m so glad I gave it a shot. The story, the characters, the emotions.. it all just hit me in the best way possible. And then there’s Steph. Oh man, Steph. I might sound soft saying this, but I wish I could have my own happy ending like that. She’s just so genuine and precious, and honestly, she stole the show for me. The bonus DLC where you play as Steph? Absolute perfection. Getting to see more of her backstory and experience things from her perspective was everything I didn’t know I needed. It added so much depth to her character, and now I just want more of her. This game isn’t just about the choices you make; it’s about the way it makes you feel. And for me, it felt like I was part of something special. If you’re into emotional, character-driven stories, you’ve got to play this. Trust me, it’s worth it. :,)

May 2024

To be honest, no game has impressed me as much as this one lately. I haven’t experienced such incredibly sweet, sad and joyful moments for a long time. The atmosphere of the game is simply wonderful. The main character is simply a miracle. And most importantly, here you forget about any of your problems.
