    I like Steph as a character and the acting for her character, and as always there's a great selection of music. I also think there were some fun memories to explore here, but COVID really restricted what they could do both story and gameplay wise here, and unfortunately, it just wasn't that fun overall as a result.

    Everything feels like a side activity and Steph's voice actor doesn't have the range to handle the writing she's given. She sounds great as a DJ, but never turns that off

    It was an alright addition but I don't think we really got to learn that much. I think it would be better if there was a bit more going on.

    I would recommend this, but maybe wait for a sale.

    A nice. little side story that expands upon Steph's character and the DJ booth simulator was kind of fun. It is short, but it's just a cheap add-on dlc so not a huge deal.

    As I mentioned in my original review, the reason True Colors stuck with me were the lessons I learned after finishing it — I learned that time heals all wounds, and that I should let go of problems now, instead of letting them fester. Wavelengths gave me another character doing the same, with fresher wounds and even heavier emotional baggage. As a prequel, knowing Steph’s fate from the beginning made her emotional growth feel even more rewarding, and reminded me that things will get better. It just takes work.

    Despite the soundtrack’s chill vibes, you’ll want to keep the tissues close for this one. A year well spent getting to know a fan-favourite character better. [Issue#8, p.95]

    Life is Strange: Wavelenghts is another intimate and delightfully queer chapter of the universe created by Deck Nine Games. Warm and sweet, Steph coming-of-age story, made of records and dies is a welcome missing link between the first Life is Strange and True Colors.
