One of my absolute favorite strategy games ever. It's filled with lots of depth but doesn't overtly require anyone to seek out that depth. You get what you want out of the game and I really like that.

I don't think the story is anything special, but it's pretty high quality and the characters and interactions they have with one another are top notch. I really love the political, philosophical, and humanity themes explored throughout the game via rapports and other story dialogue.

I also fell in love with the art style and atmosphere of the game. Absolutely phenomenal all around. In my personal GOTY contenders list for sure.

If you're a fan of strategy whatsoever, this is a must play.
