A very fun Digimon game, marred by subpar character designs, notable translation errors, and a combat system which, though generally quite entertaining, usually forces you to use DEF / INT piercing moves during later boss fights in order to stand a chance. However, the Digivolution system and the range of Digimon you can use on your 3 'mon team makes it a great game for any fan of the series.

+ Active role in uncovering story
+ Compelling story and great actors
+Little framing device touches (reflections, desktop, etc)
- Inability to watch clips from beginning is frustrating
- Watching half of conversations; too much dead air
- Doesn't push beyond what "Her Story" accomplished

I'll preface this review with my bias. I was 12 when I started playing Pokemon Black, and it was the first Pokemon game I played after I lost my copy of Pokemon Pearl, which contained my teams of that game, Emerald, and Leaf Green. So, my playthrough of Pokemon Black and the team I raised is special to me.
So that might explain the perfect 10, since my review is subjective, but my bias does not detract from the fact that the game is enjoyable, the story is actually quite engaging, and the new designs for the Pokemon are, in my opinion, wonderful. Garbodor and Vanilluxe are incredible, deal with it. Also, the Tepig line is the best starter line.

Divinity 2, to me, is the developers' Dungeons & Dragons campaign made into a turn-based tactical RPG with a high degree of character build customization, and I absolutely love it. Single-player was fun itself, and I can't wait to finally get the chance to try multiplayer out with my wife. Expect an updated review when that eventually happens.

I am baking the base game of XCOM 2 into this review, because War of the Chosen does everything the base game does and more. XCOM 2 is simply a fantastic tactical video game, with high moddability, decent customization of your soldiers, and a difficulty curve that does not wait for you to catch up. Even if you don't like the challenge and just want to play a game where you train an elite squad to kill aliens, the lower difficulties are quite fun.

This is where my bias towards science fiction shows, given Stellaris's rating over CK2. I absolutely adore this game. The variety of playstyles is numerous, and to quote my Steam review, when you add in mods from the community, that number becomes countless. That's not to say the vanilla game isn't enjoyable in and of itself, of course. Whether you want to declare war on all other life or create a long-lasting galactic peace, you can achieve those dreams and many more in Stellaris.

Damn good game, once you get through the arduous process of understanding everything in the UI. You can just as easily min-max and conquer the entirety of Europe as you can roleplay your individual characters and set in-character goals for each of your reigns. The amount of necessary DLC holds this game back from being exceptional, however. If you were an 'early adopter' of the game and bought the DLC at the pace in which it was released, it might not seem like a lot, but to a new player? That's a couple hundred dollars to fully experience the wonder of Crusader Kings 2.
UPDATE: I don't know much about the subscription thing they're doing, but from my understanding, it alleviates the price problem? In any case, I'm bumping it up to a 9.
