Life is strange DE is the worst game among the game series, of course it's my opinion. For anyone that is reading this for the purpose of not wanting to get spoiled about the game, i respectfully ask you to stop reading this one.

There was no character development at all except for Moses, compared to all the others. The choices didn't really affect the outcome at all. The whole game feels like a glorified superhero simulator where you play as Max, who hasn't learned from her past mistakes at all... (aka the previous Life is Strange games she was in). Plus, if you chose to save Chloe, it only changes what Max tells to Safi and you get a couple of posts from her, and in the end, she basically says:

"Oh no, I'm sorry that the storm came to you again."

and Max can't even have a chance to respond to her at all.

Some of the plotlines didn't resolve at all, even by the end of the game; they just vanished completely from the "plot". For example, Reggie's mystery box, and how that cop "Alderman" disappears/dies. No matter what, even though he had been a threat to Max earlier (you got the feeling he would play a major role, but clearly no).

Safi's introduction, where she had powers, suddenly changes at the end to make her a villain. Plus, whether you accept or refuse her final offer, nothing bad or good happens from it. And suddenly, the character Diamond has powers because of some mysterious "F*ck you?" to the plot. No one questions that Max has powers too, or even more, that everyone else suddenly starts having powers too? I just can't understand how they reached that conclusion in this game series.

Honestly, the whole game feels like a glorified mess from a studio that doesn't know or understand how the other Life is Strange games worked, or felt. And then it leaves a bad taste in your mouth with the ending, where there's apparently some deluxe and ultimate version that just adds a few outfits and a cat? Imagine that, paying 80€ for a game, for extra content that is just literal cosmetics, in a single player game...

I want to add now later on, I personally hate to see where the game series is going. This game, the current game, does not feel like a rightful life is strange game. It's just not the right one.

It's early access, things are rough around the edges, of course.

This is its own kind of game, it's quite obv, not finished, it's janky. But the atmosphere is just right. If you don't have a beefy computer, don't expect to run the game so well, look at the recommended specs and the think it with a grain of salt. Still laggy with my 4070 tho.

Bald urs gate 3 is a good damn ass role playing game ofc imported to the pc, from dnd. Its got great graphics and detailed character customization options. It has so good storytelling and engaging gameplay mechanics, just like dnd (has).

Game is full of rich and intresting quests challenging battles and interesting characters and certain scenes where someone kicks a squirrel to a tree...

(Turn based combat isn't normally for me but bald urs gate 3 combat altogether is pretty good imo.)

The game has so many ways to play it and so many scenes and decision making processes which could change the story ever so slightly any way. The co-op is good, didn't have much experience with that since all the people i played it with just stopped playing it.

Overall Bald urs gate 3 is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good game i recommend picking up, even if you are not interested in DND or such games.

Unable to continue story from the Sergio mission, drives over me and then just softlocks the game there. Somehow the game studio made this game worse than cyberpunk.

I can't wait to play all of what outlast trials can offer, I played it in the beta and instantly fell in love with it.

Somehow, even when I don't like to play scary games, the eerie & creepy gameplay just feels right with outlast trials. I can give this game a pretty good rating of 8/10 if you have friends who like/dont like horror!
