From every subtle eye movement to the way Alex awkwardly stands when she first encounters someone she doesn't know, so much is said without the need for words, and it makes me so incredibly excited about what the future holds for the series going forward.
With more nuanced and expressive animations, you can easily sense how Alex and the residents of Haven Springs are feeling from their body language and facial expressions alone, and it really just elevates the look and feel of Life is Strange: True Colors to another level. By being able to bring the characters to life using full-body motion capture technology, True Colors shows off what the next-generation of the series can deliver. For a series that has so much heart and characters that you can easily connect with, making empathy a power is so well suited to the world of Life is Strange, and to Alex as a character.įor me, the emotive, character-driven stories are what makes Life is Strange as a series so special, and the experience of navigating through Alex's journey is made all the more impactful and effective thanks to the fantastic performances of the cast. Thanks to the way it effectively allows you to connect and relate to the characters of Haven Springs, and with Alex herself, empathy opens up a window into the feelings of others in interesting and even sometimes abstract ways and puts you in direct control of Alex's journey. Supernatural powers have always been folded into the stories of the Life is Strange series, but as powers go, empathy is certainly one of the most engaging.
