Life is Strange: True Colors is one of my 2022 highlights so far. There aren't just emotions on the screen but as a player, I feel them through all of this journey.

Ultimately, while Life is Strange: True Colors may have a weaker story than past entries had, its strongest elements may outshine anything I've played in the prior games. I'm particularly fond of Alex as a character and even more so of the idea of empathy as the core mechanic, since empathy is something we can all utilize in our daily lives. Regardless of whether this is my favorite Life is Strange or not though, True Colors was an absolute blast of an experience to play though, and I would absolutely recommend it.

It is worth putting yourself in Alex Chen's shoes, daring to confront our emotions and, more importantly, helping those who matter to us to assimilate those colors that surround them avoiding red.

Life is Strange: True Colors is a journey about emotions and relationships with unforgettable characters. It's great to follow the development of a complex and passionate protagonist, who gradually learns more about herself and uses a simple but at the same time powerful gift to do justice and help people. Despite the minor technical problems, it's a memorable adventure in which we learn that empathy is essential to bettering the world.

Life Is Strange: True Colors tries to tell a mature story, one of grieving and self-loathing, how it transforms our lives and others, how we come not to find relationships but build them with those around us. But for all of these themes, it scarcely succeeds at capturing any one of them. It can be compelling, captivating, and charming at one moment and forcefully maudlin at others. It tries to capture the full rainbow spectrum of human emotions, every last hue and shade that makes up the complexities of ourselves. But it only has four colors.
