    Life is Strange: True Colors is a beautiful, emotionally-focused experience, but its version on Nintendo Switch has some obvious imperfections.

    Life is Strange: True Colors is an incredible game that takes you on a journey of loss, recovery, and adventure. It's a fantastic entry in what is perhaps one of the best narrative-driven franchises out there. However, to truly experience its beauty, you should play it on a different platform, where I would score it higher.

    Life is Strange: True Colors is an experience that can be appreciated in the sweetness of its journey, sublimated by shimmering colors, animations more accomplished than ever and very beautiful melodies. With this episode, Deck Nine Games chose to explore empathy from top to bottom; a preponderant aspect in the powers granted, the narration and the construction of the characters. The whole provides a very neat adventure on a human level, but which undeniably lacks a certain liveliness in its actions and the unfolding of the plot. The result is an investigation that lacks a certain panache.

    Life is Strange: True Colors is an immersive experience that connects the user with its characters and successfully transports the player to the town of Haven Springs. This moving story about emotions, empathy, love and loss is built very solidly on a well written script, very well developed characters, an intriguing story and very moving moments. Unlike DONTNOD's Life is Strange 2 that starts in a forced and sudden way, True Colors takes its time, is patient and shows its nuances little by little, at the right moment to tell its story. Unfortunately, everything that makes Life is Strange: True Colors great is overshadowed by an overwhelming technical deficiency on the Nintendo Switch, something that leaves me with a bittersweet taste. It is a fine game that should not be played on the Nintendo Switch.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Great story loved the character amazing graphics. My issue is it felt like a movie rather than a game not enough player choices like previous Life is strange games. I felt i had controll over my Protagonist and choices had consequences, but in this game it feels like the story is progressing no matter what.
    For example {Spoiler alert} The first scene where we get a glimpse of alexs power feels so great and powerfull and i was getting intense by watching it. But its not choice based, why i cant have there the oportunity to select if i want to try controll emotions or go full lash on Mac?
    i would prefer Gabe to not be the main focus of how Alex gets more close to her powers, would love to have an option,choice where she can be more antisocial keeping away from her brother etc. Instead we just get the typical loss/grief protagonist meta thingy,
    Maybe its cause the first game struck me and make me such a fan but this game its so good but lacks alot on choices after all its suppose to be a game not a movie, i recall my self screaming on my monitor just let me play LOL. Anyway great voice acting though.    … Full Review »

    I turned it off as soon as I saw Haven Springs. Graphics are absolutely abysmal on switch. Will grab and play on PC when it's on sale for aI turned it off as soon as I saw Haven Springs. Graphics are absolutely abysmal on switch. Will grab and play on PC when it's on sale for a few $'s. I am slowly coming to realize the only publisher who understands how to program for switch is Nintendo. Will stick to exclusives on this platform going forward.… Full Review »
