This series is something of a guilty pleasure of mine if I’m being honest. These games are corny as hell & the dialogue is almost always incredibly cringeworthy. So really I wasn’t expecting much of True Colors.

I was pleasantly surprised however with how solid it was in terms of its writing. Yes it’s still overly melodramatic, agonisingly so at times. But I really liked the story & felt the entire mystery was intriguing if not a little rushed & the emotional moments hit pretty hard. The characters aren’t anything special but I found them likeable enough so I don’t mind too much.

Alex herself is great. Her powers were pretty cool & using them to tap into the emotions of people was cool at first but I do feel they didn’t expand on it nearly enough & I wish there was maybe a little bit more as I do think there was a lot of potential in exploring them further.

I mean yeah this is definitely a Life is Strange game. If you enjoyed the previous ones, this one you will also probably enjoy. If you didn’t like the previous ones, then this won’t do much to change your mind. I feel it’s really that simple.

Decent game though. I liked it. Probably best in the franchise.
