Sep 8, 2021Life 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.

Sep 8, 2021Life is Strange: True Colors is another good installment in the series. However, there are some flaws. The setting is far too small and you will find yourself visiting the same locations time after time. Next to that, there are some flaws in the story. Although the writing is good, the game loses focus once in a while and lets you LARP instead of looking for clues. Overall it's just a good popcorn game, but not more than that.

Sep 15, 2021Life is Strange: True Colors respects the legacy of its elders. Perhaps too much so. Three years after the last episode by Dontnod Entertainment, Deck Nine Games followed all too well the original recipe. After discovering Alex Chen’s power and the graphical improvement, the novelties to shake up the fans of the licence are scarce. But let them be reassured: all the elements that made the success of the previous episodes are right there. The pleasure of discovering Haven Springs, its mysteries and its inhabitants is real and the emotion does not falter. Nevertheless, the technique as well as the freedom of action and the staging are outdated and hard to ignore. The next game in the saga must take more risks, whether in terms of the themes tackled or the diversity of the exploration phases or else, the tide will shift from an emotional game to a boring one.
