    This review contains spoilers, click expand 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.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played this alongside my partner, and we really liked this game. We both had our fair share of graphical glitches, some were even game breaking. On my partner's playthrough none of the textures loaded during the wake of the main character's brother (Gabe Chen) so everything and everyone in that scene were textured with the default grey squares. Other than the Graphical glitches we both had, the game is pretty good… Expand

    its a good game with good character's, nice animation, plot and choices. could of done with some more endings and the end reveal felt kinda disappointing. The games good but it would be better if it played with her powers and the detective/mysterious aspects more, but it also made me care for the character's and story.

    Took me 6-7 hours to finish (I went for the platinum trophy) overall I believe the story is relatively decent but super slow at parts especially chapter 3, some characters were pretty annoying ESPECIALLY Ethan oh my god I don’t think i’ve been so annoyed at a character. Plot twist was pretty good and I did not expect it. Overall if its on sale I would recommend for a chill weekend when youTook me 6-7 hours to finish (I went for the platinum trophy) overall I believe the story is relatively decent but super slow at parts especially chapter 3, some characters were pretty annoying ESPECIALLY Ethan oh my god I don’t think i’ve been so annoyed at a character.

    Más chulo estéticamente que las entregas anteriores pero la trama sabe a poco aunque tenga momentos emotivos, siento que tendrían que haber aprovechado más el poder de Alex como recurso en la trama, sobretodo en el climax

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A very tame entry in the Life is Strange series all in all. I think the characters are great and the whole motivation for Jeb as the villain was well written. However Alex surviving the fall in the end of the game was something that had me completely confused and I actually thought it was in her head. Flashback sequences build a great amount of backstory. Overall I would say play it if you like LiF but play it with game pass don't pay full price… Expand

    Life is Strange: True Colors follows the tradition of the franchise's best games, bringing a rich and deep story, impeccable art and a perfect soundtrack. It is, in my opinion, the best port of 2021, and a game that nobody who likes the genre can miss.

    Life is Strange: True Colors is one of the better newer game ports in recent years on Nintendo Switch. In a lot of cases, there are big caveats to buying a newer third party game on Nintendo Switch. For Life is Strange: True Colors, there have been downgrades, but they are smartly done to preserve most of the experience and deliver an excellent portable experience. Life is Strange: True Colors has already seen further improvements following launch with a recent update. As the franchise’s debut on the Switch platform, Life is Strange: True Colors is just about everything I wanted from a port.

    Life is Strange: True Colors is a good narrative video game with simple mechanics that comes to Nintendo Switch with significant changes in its graphics. However, the great story, music, and design quality that the franchise has gotten us used to are still there.
