    Much to love with this game. The gameplay is great and the story is well done. Haven Springs looks very nice and the soundtrack is wonderful. Not really my type of game but True Colors really stuck with me throughout.

Especially with human fears, the loss of a close relative and dares to just say damn unpleasant things. In addition to the story, there are also small but relatively simple puzzles. On top of that, there's great technology and sound. Above all, the soundtrack makes a big difference to other games of the genre.… Expand

    While there are many excellent story-driven titles in the Switch eShop, the tendency is more usually on grand tales or bold accomplishments than fleshed out characters that feel authentic. True Colors still has a compelling story to tell but what struck me most about it was a weird feeling of authenticity to the key characters. Just something in the way they interact feels far less stiffWhile there are many excellent story-driven titles in the Switch eShop, the tendency is more usually on grand tales or bold accomplishments than fleshed out characters that feel authentic. True Colors still has a compelling story to tell but what struck me most about it was a weird feeling of authenticity to the key characters. Just something in the way they interact feels far less stiff and simplistic than the norm, and often the choices I’d have for responses to situations would feel sensible within the context of the current circumstances and characters. Certainly the discovery and exploration around your character’s powers and then the process of trying to resolve the game’s central mystery in this humble Colorado town are compelling, but without the depth of the characters being there I don’t think the whole package would work as well. I’ve seen plenty of people bemoaning how the game’s gorgeous visuals have had to be compromised on the Switch, and I suppose since this is a full-priced game if you have the option of playing it on another platform (and you don’t mind the lack of the convenience of portability) that would be a reasonable choice. That said, it’s still visually striking and the character models generally look great, so take those complaints with a grain of salt.

    Love it. Probably my favourite entrance in this series. Voice acting and soundtrack was superb as always. I really liked just walking around the town and complete different sub-goals. Overall 10 out of 10 for me.

    A lot too explore and they keep it just as minimal while maintaining a great atmosphere.

    Honestly a great game, especially for anyone who personally identifies as an empath. A couple of visual bugs and glitches on occasion, but even those are few and far between.

    Honest rating of the game would be 9 out of 10. But giving it the additional +1 to balance out prior user reviews that are obviously there for the sake of tanking a game that has LGBTQ+ representation within it.

    Amazing storytelling game. Please produce more games like this!! I only wish there was an options setting to make the interactive objects less noticable (i.e. make those white borders disappear) so that the world looks more natural and discovering those items would be more rewarding.

    Everyone should take the time to play this game. I am a huge fan of the LIS series but this was my favourite.

    Very good story, same quality as all the other life ks strange episodes. The only con is the length as it's a bit short. The music is superb, the visuals are good enough and he story is amazing.

    A very good video game, the musical score is very well made! the small relaxing moments are welcome and even with the small awkward social interactions sometime, the story feels very well made, the overall gameplay is simple yet satisfying - From a player who never played the original life is strange games

    Simplesmente Square Enix fazendo o que faz de melhor, uma história profunda, emocionante, com a dinâmica de escolhas, o que o torna incrível.
    True colors contém o que life is strange tem de melhor, escolhas, consequências e uma história envolvente de fazer chorar.
    Se você pensa em jogar, vá sem medo, uma experiência maravilhosa que recomendo para qualquer um.
    Nota 10.

    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.
