Life is Strange: True Colors Reviews
I didn’t immediately play the initial Life is Strange upon its release. In fact, I think my first time playing it was when I first bought Xbox Game Pass. Having thoroughly enjoyed the Telltale Walking Dead series, I was curious to explore this narrative, choice-driven title. I fell in love with the story, focusing on the real side of humans while also adding the supernatural element of controlling time. The choice-making, while hectic, makes you feel in control and immersed. I couldn’t not love Chloe and Max either. Having played through Before The Storm, Captain Spirit and Life is Strange 2, loving them all as much as the last, my body was more than ready for another addition to the series.
There’s a fair bit of texture popping in and out of scenes, load times can be quite long and sometimes the game can jar between cut-scenes. At worst that is a real distraction, however the story remains gripping enough that it never really ruins things for the player.
Life Is Strange: True Colors is a very emotional and engaging narrative adventure, complete with very entertaining characters and a brilliant story. Every chapter is an emotional rollercoaster, bringing both highs and lows when you least expect it. Visually the game looks fantastic, in both 30 and 60fps modes, and Alex’s unique ability adds an extra layer to the already interesting and exciting experience. The Wavelengths DLC was a great experience, expanding on Steph’s time between Before the Storm and True Colors, but the lack of trophies makes this more of a bonus for hardcore fans of the franchise rather than those new to the series.
If you enjoyed previous versions of this series, be sure to enjoy Alex's story at Haven Spring. Playing with a good story that fits the narrative rhythm and the paid and attractive characters, and the choices they have tangible, can satisfy fans of adventure games and ultimately become a memorable experience.

Life is Strange: True Colors has a charming beauty that you’ll want to experience over and over.
Life Is Strange: True Colors is a remarkable experience for any player. It's biggest problem is effectively its legacy and need to keep up with the excellent quality of previous titles. The feeling of an experience below expectations is palpable, largely due to our expectations, a shorter story than usual and fewer locations to explore. Even so, it has some strengths: a more immersive soundtrack; a main character better characterized than in previous titles; surprising graphics and ambiance. If, by any chance, you've never played a title in this series, you will definitely be in love! If, on the other hand, you are fans of Life is Strange, we recommend entering this experience with moderate expectations and you certainly won't regret it!

True Colors offers a story that hits a multitude of emotions and it does it wearing its heart on its sleeve. Everything about the game is compelling, from its wonderfully amazing cast of characters to the difficult decisions, to even the unfolding mystery.
A wonderful addition to the Life Is Strange series, True Colors has everything that has made the series a success. Bringing back Steph was great as she is the standout character of the series for me. Deck Nine have produced a superb title that I really enjoyed. It is for these reasons that Life Is Strange: True Colors gets the Thumb Culture Platinum Award.
Life is Strange: True Colors is probably my new favorite game in the series. After coming in with low expectations, I wouldn’t mind seeing Deck Nine continue to make unique stories in this space. After seeing their work in Before the Storm and this game, Life is Strange would be in more than capable hands here, allowing DONTNOD to make different stories in other areas.
True Colors is familiar yet strange for the fans, who can be a little disappointed by the supernatural aspect of the series, but very much at home with its drama, tone and atmosphere.

I was glued to Life is Strange: True Colors right up until the end and the messages that flow throughout the game will stay with me for years to come. Some of the dialogue is extremely powerful and the quality of direction is first class. Everything flows beautifully. I cannot wait to see what the series has in store for us next.
Life is Strange: True Colors is a captivating adventure game which keeps you wanting to know what’s next. It has a wonderful set of casts some of which I am actually in love with. It is a must play for any fan of the genre.
Life is Strange: True Colors is a high quality storytelling experience. The game doesn't focus on the action, but rather on telling a story. Very well developed characters as well as a mysterious plot pushes us to keep playing until the end. The game has a few technical flaws, but that won't stop you from enjoying Alex's story.

Life is Strange: True Colors is a proof that Deck Nine don't need beloved characters and callbacks to previous titles to shine and create one of the best games of the series.

Life is Strange: True Colors confirms the excellent skills of Deck Nine, giving us an interesting title with very nice characters, an interesting plot and powers that dig into human emotions. It' s not a masterpiece and it doesn't reach the standards of the first LiS, but it's still a great title for those who love the series and who appreciate narrative adventures.

Alex Chen’s journey is a good one and the five chapters provide a concise, slick story that gets the job done without much fuss. Unfortunately this also exemplifies how often certain areas are reused and the relatively simple choices given to players. Thankfully, True Colors dazzles its flaws with a vibrant, enjoyable adventure that’s well worth checking out
Life is Strange: True Colors is defined by well-written characters and a great presentation, but the plot suffers from a sluggish pace and a weak ending.
