Life is Strange: True Colors

Another entry in the beloved Life is Strange franchise! We have the amazing indie music, lovable cast of characters, a fantastically wild yet relatably grounded storyline. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll love, and you'll be in awe. It's safe to say this one checks all the boxes that make the franchise so great!

Here, we are introduced to Alex Chen, a young woman who went from foster home to foster home all her life since she was 11. She is finally reunited with her older brother after years of attempting to track her down. Tragedy strikes and Alex is determined to investigate.

I could'nt stop playing. Just finished it. I like how it looks, and the story doesn't feel rushed. AMAZING music and graphics. I played it on Series x. It looks stunning and it is breathtaking.

A really earnest and thoughtful game that I enjoyed playing from start to finish.

I have to admit that I was worried for this game. I was such a Huge fan of the original Life is Strange, I was absolutely obsessed from the start. But after Life is Strange 2 released it left a bitter taste in my mouth. The characters in that game just didn't click for me. So long story short the lead up to this game was quite intense, I got quite worried when I found out Deck Nine was developing this title and that Dontnod had stepped away. But I just have to say I'm so happy I was wrong. Deck Nine blew it out of the park, they really did. It was almost as if they revived the soul of Life is Strange. True Colours was a spectacular Journey that I thoroughly delved myself into. The Character's were believable, they made me care about them. The plot actually quite surprised me. There was more mystery than I originally thought, which helped to keep me invested. I experienced a few bugs, probably two, so it wasn't too bad, it didn't break the immersion of the story so it was fine, but nonetheless I thought it necessary to mention. Overall everything in this game surpassed my expectations the music, the sound perfect for the vibe of the game, and also a few new gameplay additions never before seen in the franchise which I hope they expand on down the line in the next instalment.

Life is Strange: True Colors Image The story is engaging, if a bit basic, but the characters and their interactions with the protagonist, Alex, keep True Colors interesting from start to finish.

The game always tackles its themes of emotional trauma and healing tastefully, without beating the player over the head with them.

Its characters are well written and likeable, the soundtrack is good, the voice acting is consistently on point and it is genuinely beautiful to look at.

Deck Nine picked the best elements from the series's previous instalments and used them to create one of the most interesting and refined adventure games on the market. It's a game that knows what it wants to be, knows what it wants to say, and does so exquisitely.
