I love how simple yet absolutely unwavering this game is. The game pushes the boundaries on what intuitive really means. On one hand, it's simply designed, but on the other hand the gameplay and puzzles are still complex. It doesn't hold your hand much; it took me maybe about 10-15min to understand how to play. It reminded me of some of the best films I've watched. The ones that present a singular vision and a meditative rhythm that you either buy into or you don't. This game has zero dialogue, barely any characters (can I call them that lmao), plenty of magical mumbo jumbo, yet I was wildly into it the whole time.

An engaging little, self-assured masterpiece on perspective and finding meaning in life.

This game impressively tackled countless themes within its constraints. You've got everything from forgiveness, redemption, friendship, sex, living in a police state, corruption, celebrity worship, capitalism, you name it. The daily news stories and reddit threads you can read have to be crazy concise, yet they were still intriguing. The dialogue felt clunky sometimes, but it was generally natural and effective. The characters are charming and lovable.

My main gripes are that I got tired of making drinks because it's not a particularly engaging or interesting mechanic. Also, I love the soundtrack to death, but I'm lazy and setting the in-game playlist was annoying to me hahah otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed my time with these memorable characters and their entertaining, thought-provoking conversations.

Pros: fantastic character work and script, engaging plot, I cried a few times

Cons: very weak gameplay, the fighting/action scenes got repetitive fast, hard wasn't really challenging, weak upgrade system/skills

Overall: surprisingly poignant story about found family and grief with fully realized characters and relationships that tugged at my heart strings and often made me laugh out loud. unfortunately the action felt super clunky and repetitive it almost felt like a chore. I would die for this version of these characters.

It was mostly predictable, felt a bit lazy or soulless at times, and the finale is awkward and corny. But damn it during the final episode I stepped back from judging it and instead gave myself completely to it. I cried. I paused the game to reflect. I loved all the sentimentality and corny dialogue and extreme sincerity is. I ate it up!! The original Life is Strange is one of the first video games that got me into gaming as an adult and I’m so happy True Colors was able to continue carrying that torch. My heart is so full 💕

Beautiful creature designs, fantastic art style, enchanting music, excellent and memorable bosses. However, much felt underdeveloped: leveling system, combat, basic enemies, currency/collectibles. The quests felt repetitive fast (they're basically all fetch quests with a boss every time).

The bottom line, though, is that this was a damn impressive debut and an exciting showcase of Ember Lab's talent and potential. I will gladly buy whatever game they make next.

Also I'm trying to become a better gamer and this was insanely difficult on Hard lmaooo

Just as all DLC, it's not as grand as the main story. Nor are its side quests as inventive as the base game's side quests, but there's truly compelling character development here dealing with trauma, guilt, and ending cycles of violence. I cried at the end because Jin's story here is so touching. Iki island's distinct, slightly more tropical vibe and varied wildlife was also fun and refreshing. I got all the trophies and officially put this game away after about 76 hours. Such a smooth, cinematic, impeccable gaming experience that I'll never forget.
