Just noticed this odd slip-up in the art that appears when you hover this game on the PS5 home screen. Do you think that guy is ok?

Life is strange as a series has been a hit for me and True colors sticks to that tone.
I loved the town, the characters and the design of everything, specially the music. I know the look might still be a bit too dated feeling for some but I think they did a lot with a little.

The first chapter/episode had a pretty shocking event that also grabbed me right away. As I had gone in blind.
Love the return or I guess more so focus of the powers/ability in this one. Gives it a little bit more depth to me in gameplay/choice aspect I feel.
Still not for everyone but if you are into this style of game, true colors rocks it.

just curious - any fans here tell me what they like about this game? i was looking forward to this one but it was the worst for me by a long shot and i don't really understand what anybody sees in it.

Playing this on the PS5 and the graphics are so good. The voice acting and facial expressions are really good too. I'm also intrigued because I heard this was an easy game to platinum. This is my first life is strange game and it doesn't seem to matter that I haven't played the other ones yet.

Not only did this game have a great storyline with interesting characters, the overall aesthetic paired with a gorgeous soundtrack made this game an incredibly enjoyable experience. I loved the complexity of the characters and while it felt a little slow at times, it would quickly draw me back in.

I appreciate all the moments I can just sit, listen to music in this game and take in the spaces around me. I appreciate that the duration isn’t fixed and that I can simply sit and listen, even if the song repeats. The moments don’t quite occupy liminal spaces, but they are pockets within the world that I can simply …

So I can't finish chapter 2. Every time I trigger the point of no return talking to Mac, the game turns black and I can't see anything. I can hear Alex walking when I push the analogue stick but can't see anything. I've reloaded and replayed that chapter multiple times now and it happens like clockwork at the same point. …

Well, I called it!
Anyway I'm liking it so far. Alex is kind of an interesting character and I really liked how Steph is growing as a person, with her own development that also ties in to the precious game. The town feels infused with life (although it also feels somewhat empty and small) and works so well as a warm and welcoming place for a foster kid with no roots.
But, similarly to Tell Me Why, the game feels like on a slumber. Everything happens slowly and for a game about emotions, characters feel listless. Even the high-energy moments are muted. During the epic LARP battle, for example, the music wasn't loud enough and the voice acting needed to be much bigger. This apathy fitted perfectly with LIS's teenage energy, but it only works there. I have to admit that LIS: Before the Storm is full of emotion. Perhaps it was lead by a different team?
I also believe that, given that it's been 7 years since Inside Out, media about emotions should acknowledge that emotions are complex. Sometimes you feel sad and happy at the same time and for the same reason; anger and fear often come together, so why does Alex only see "pure" emotions? There are so many moments which would've been perfect for that, such as
(Edited because I was wrong about which studio developed which gmaes)

So Alex' power is to know what other people are feeling if they feel it strong enough and to feel it too. It feels like that describes most of us with just a sliver of empathy. Kind of a step down from being able to go back in time.

Wavelengths DLC is brief and narrow in scope, but the writing's super sharp and it functions swimmingly as a sort of bridge for Steph between Before the Storm and True Colors. Compose your own little song, predict the future for listeners of your radio station, and engage in even more of the immaculate foosball-based trash talk from the main game. …

Also it's by far the most unapologetically queer piece of Life is Strange content to date, which is goddamn excellent. Impossible to overstate how exciting it is to finally see gay folks like me heading up casts in games.
