Play this game blind! It might not be for everyone and i will concede that the hype might make it a letdown for some people. Nonetheless, this was one of the most life changing games i've ever played.
The only thing i'll say is that there is no flavor text in this game, it all has purpose. You can finish the whole game with pure intuition and pattern recognition, but it can get really frustrating if you're ignoring all the text.

I didn't find the DLC as engaging as the base game. I wish i played the DLC BEFORE finishing the base game, then i think i would have found it more worthwhile. But unfortunately, there's no going back.
[EDIT: There was a going back and it was really fun and worthwhile. Went from 3 stars to 4. Not that scary if you run into the owlk while singing superbase a couple times before actually committing to a run]

Controversial opinion on this game, but i loved it. The graphics and cinematic shots were beautiful, and i genuinely found almost every moment of it engaging.
HOWEVER: I highly recommend playing this game with 1-2 friends watching so it's easier to laugh off the more cringe moments and bizzare lore. It gets pretty ridiculous at times.

Life is Strange disguises itself as a "choices matter" game, with only 2 real endings. It's a good story (in theory) and I played it all the way through, but I didn't find it fun and it just left me with more questions than answers.
I also wish there was any warning for the extremely aggressive sexual assault / kidnapping scenes, as they made me genuinely nauseous and happened with very little leadup.

Very controversial game, honestly it's one of my favorite in the series.
The shortness of it makes it the only game I managed to fully finish in the series. My biggest critique is that the combat is extremely repetitive and boring compared to either of the other games, and for some reason the game has you fighting "bandits" in the street constantly, which makes me feel weird about the sheer amount of humans i've slaughtered. Doesn't really make sense with the themes of the dragon age series.
