The newest iteration of Life Is Strange has a lot of love to give but just doesn't know where to put it.

Beautiful and brilliant, if a little safe, Deck Nine's new Life is Strange story stands alongside the series' best.

True Colors is worth exploring in its entirety, but it glosses over the rougher parts of life, painting them in a romantic light.

Deck Nine's new standalone effort Life Is Strange: True Colors has the most interesting power and likeable cast I can remember in a Life Is Strange game. I just wish it did more with its own story.

If you liked previous entries in the Life is Strange series, you'll probably enjoy this one. It's a tighter, cleaner take on the formula, but at its heart, it's still the balance of magic and mundane that’s become signature to these games.
