Life is Strange: True Colors was an enjoyable addition to the Life is Strange franchise. The setting of a small town coupled with the graphical improvement over the last titles create an incredibly charming atmosphere.

The story was enjoyable and I think that, irrespective of personal experiences potentially impacting views, the subject matter of loss is handled well. It wouldn't be an entry into the Life is Strange franchise without the loss of a person near and dear to the main character, and I think that they've handled the display of grief well across several characters with differing emotions, considering that everyone has their own ways of dealing with grief and mourning.

In terms of gameplay, there was a little less than other games when you think of puzzles, but I don't personally feel like it fell short. In fact, there's a pleasant and somewhat funny surprise around halfway through the game with respect to gameplay and the style of the game itself. In comparison to other entries, however, the game definitely leaves something to be desired with regard to the whole "choices have consequences" aspect and the impact that the choices have as a whole but I don't think it's bad by any means.

The cast did great and their performance definitely contributed to the ability to feel connected to the characters and drove home their involvement in the story.

All in all, it was a fun, emotional, and enjoyable experience in charming Haven Springs that took about 10 hours to complete in its entirety. Whether it's worth it at full price or better to wait for sale is entirely dependent on your own circumstances and not something I could necessarily comment on, having received this through a gifted humble choice, but I would perhaps recommend to wait for a sale.
