Life is Strange: True Colors
Life Is Strange: True Colors is a graphic adventure played from a third-person view. The player can explore various locations in the fictional setting of Haven Springs and communicate with non-playable characters.

Alex Chen, a young Asian-American woman who has grown up in a foster family and has had a troubled childhood, reunites with her brother Gabe eight years later when he encourages her to return.

After Gabe is killed in a mysterious accident, Alex investigates the truth behind the accident by using her psychic empathy power that allows her to read and manipulate the strong emotions, which she perceives as colourful auras, to physically see how others feel around her—potentially at the cost of being "infected" by their emotions.

Along the way, Alex meets many citizens of Colorado's picturesque mountain town of Haven Springs, including two potential love interests, Ryan and Steph, the latter of whom appeared in Life Is Strange: Before the Storm.

Life Is Strange True Colors character development DLC gameplay mechanics

The initial excitement around Life Is Strange: True Colors stems from its approach to character development. Alex begins the game with pre-existing powers, suggesting deeper narrative explorations rather than traditional origin storytelling. The community has responded positively, noting the intriguing setup and hope for engaging narratives.12

As players start experiencing the game, impressions vary. One player shares their absorbed state in Chapter 1, praising the writing and character portrayal, while another discusses their gameplay pace. Enthusiasm for the gameplay mechanics and their narrative implications is evident among early players, contributing to a favorable reception overall.34

However, not all feedback is positive, particularly regarding the new Wavelengths DLC. Some users feel it lacks substance compared to the main game, citing a disconnect in gameplay satisfaction, while others remain supportive of the storyline potential introduced in the DLC. This divergence showcases mixed feelings about additional content versus core game value.56

"The Wavelengths DLC was disappointing... a wasted opportunity"

"Alex is such a well written and acted character"

Verdict

The thread reflects both excitement for the base game and disappointment with the DLC. While fans are engaged with the story, questions about the value of additional content remain.

It's not another origin story apparently. Alex already has her powers when we first meet her and she has been suppressing them up until now.

It will be interesting to see a character already shaped by having this extraordinary ability. She's supposed to be the eldest LIS protagonist (early 20s) so the powers seem to develop in adolescence.

I also like that they brought back the detective /mystery element to the series as that gives it stakes.

A new trailer for Life is Strange: True Colors has been released by Square Enix and developer Deck Nine Games.

The new Life is Strange: True Colors trailer is called Welcome to Haven Springs. Narrated by the character Steph Gingrich, it basically introduces you to the town in which the game takes place.

Still on Chapter 1 but totally absorbed into this little town with already some tricky decisions to make. Quite proud of winning the jukebox game!

Also, the arcade games are quite addictive. Alex is such a well written and acted character, can't wait to get stuck into more.

Took me 2h 40mins to complete the first chapter. My plan is to play a chapter every day.

Wavelengths DLC was released today.

Life is Strange: True Colors' Wavelength DLC is now available — well, as part of the Deluxe Upgrade, Deluxe Edition, or Ultimate Edition, that is. If you don't have those versions of the game, you won't be able to purchase Wavelength separately, unfortunately.

Wavelength is a prequel DLC that tells a story about Steph, a character who made her debut in the series in Life is Strange: Before the Storm. It follows her life a year before Alex moved to Haven Springs, where she passed the time playing records and hosting a radio show.

The Wavelengths DLC was disappointing, to be honest. Felt like there was a lot of pointless busywork and filler which is something that I never felt with the main game. It had its moments with some fresh perspectives on the consequences of LIS1 choices and Steph is a great character but I think it was a bit of a wasted opportunity on the whole.

Played chapter 1 last night, already enjoying it more than LIS 2 or Tell Me Why. Bit of a shocker there at the end. Wow.

I've only just gotten around to playing through the first game, which was enjoyable on the whole.. there's little-to-no reason to play through it again to see what differences your choices make though.

I intend on tackling Before the Storm sooner rather than later.
