What was said about The Spectrum Retreat
The Spectrum Retreat gives each colour vision type its own palette. The puzzle game has four coloured blocks and a colour vision mode with three palettes: one for deuteranopia and protanopia, one for tritanopia, and a black and white one for achromatopsia.
The black and white palette also covers other rare deficiencies. A single recolour will not suit everyone, unlike the single swaps in Far Cry 5 (red elements turn yellow) and Call of Duty (green and red labels become blue and yellow).
