From Ars Technica: "While elevated by strong performances and writing, the script we saw didn't always make an effort to prioritize the "serious" plot driving its central mystery, which may feel odd depending on what you're looking for. And we found small inconsistencies in dialogue based on actions the player has or hasn't already taken. The game is nothing to write home about from a technical standpoint, with sporadic frame drops while exploring Haven Springs and hit-or-miss visual quality. And don't get us started on the inexplicable, upwards-of-10-second loading times whenever Alex enters a new scene or building, despite running on the SSD-fueled PS5.
Still, focusing on these quibbles would miss the point. Square Enix hasn't been shy that True Colors revolves around loss, and it's through Alex's new relationships and shared experiences with her newfound community that the game shines. True Colors might end up being the series' most genuine reinvention yet."
Life is Strange: True Colors is an emotional tale that dives into some deep topics. From forgiveness to self love and human connection.
Max and Chloe were the memorable duo at the heart of the first Life is Strange, but the series hasn't been able to recreate their bond so far.
While I enjoyed Max and Chloe in the first season of Life is Strange, season 2 with Sean and Daniel was far superior in my opinion. The writing, performances (although all the 3 different iterations have had great writing and amazing performances) season 2 was by far the strongest, in all areas, to me. Well, minus the lip syncing, which True colors just nailed it so well! But yeah.
Daily Video Game writes: "Amazon is running a new game sale on Square Enix games, offering big savings on some of its best titles, including Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Final Fantasy VII: Remake, and more right now across multiple gaming platforms!"
I highly recommend Guardians of the Galaxy. Such an amazing game especially if you’re into narratively driven cinematic kind of third person games.
I can’t recall off the top of my head. I went for the platinum so I was following walkthroughs for the collectibles, which made it longer for me than the average playthrough. I can tell you the story and experience felt complete. There’s moments when you think it’s wrapping up only for something huge to happen and gives several more chapters to finish.
I’d say it’s comparable to how long The Last of Us was for me. Again, it’s been a while, but I want to say 20ish hours or so. Keep in mind I went for the platinum so if you don’t care about that it might be a few hours less.
It’s a hell of a ride though and I didn’t feel like it was short or ended up leaving me feel like I didn’t get a fleshed out story.
took me around 15 hours
really worth it just for the banters between Rocket and you.
Guardians was fantastic. I hope one day we can get a sequel. Loved the combat, and the story was top notch. Guardians has been one of my favorite comics series to read, and the game has so many great nods and easter eggs.
Did no one else find the gameplay basic and boring? I thought it was very... Meh. Too simplistic and just very ho hum. I just couldn't bring myself to finish the game it was so boring. I don't care how good a games story is if the gameplay is so boring. Not worth paying just to hear the characters banter IMO. Maybe i need to get further? Does it get better? I played like 5 it 6 hours so about half way, just couldn't feel the fun factor. Very paint by numbers gameplay.
Honestly, I didn’t. I
liked making use of party member moves and switching ammo based on enemy weak points. I never understood why people say it’s so basic when I’m not sure how combat in say Uncharted or even The Last of Us does anything that’s less basic. 🤷♂️
This gives you options with your team that I felt made combat feel varied.
Loved the story, but I agree about the combat. It was basic and fine, but didn't carry all the way through to the end.
Think it would've worked better if you could switch between the characters for a little more variation in basic combinations
The way it used dialog choices was deceptively unique and a really cool part of the game. They really another part of gameplay.
Great game all around and a constant blast.
tldr: I agree. Everyone play this game!
