Life Is Strange: True Colors

The latest entry in the Life Is Strange series has the same poignant, indie-music-infused vibe as its predecessors, but this third game arguably reaches new heights in its exploration of human connection. That’s due in part to Alex Chen’s remarkable expressiveness. Using motion-captured performances from its lead actors (a first for the series), True Colors has scenes in which every subtle emotion and gesture feels like a window into the inner worlds of its characters. The story it tells, one of community and friendship and secrets long buried, isn’t extraordinary, but the warmth and humanity it’s imbued with sure is.
