Another uninspired cash grab by Blizzard.
Pros:
- The combat is fun at first
- Smooth animations
- Good atmosphere
Cons:
- Combat is uninteresting, with boss fights being spam power until dead.
- Your screen fills with effects and numbers you can quickly and easily lose track of your character
- Another soulless cash grab dragging a formerly beloved IP through the mud.

A really fun tactical combat game set in the Warhammer 40k setting.
Pros:
- Fun combat, can be difficult but fun
- Awesome atmosphere and setting
- Resource management adds a layer of planning and depth
Cons:
- You control a squad of grey knights, but struggle against cultists in rags. It takes the power fantasy of playing space marines, super powerful psyker ones to boot, and makes you feel so.. not badass. You get better as you level, but one bad round can still destroy you.
---- I'd like to specify its not the difficulty I dislike here its the unfullfilling power fantasy of being grey knights

I've played this alot, always find myself starting a new run, so never seem to finish.
Its really fun.
Pros:
- fun combat
- character customization + buildup as you level
- management of time/resources makes research/mission choices matter
Cons:
- the % shots are weird. A 99% hit chance means you'll likely miss. And it seems to be predetermined. I know this because i save scummed 10 times once to test and missed every single time, leading me to believe the shot hit was already decided before i pulled the trigger.
-- This frustration is the only reason i didn't give it a 5/5

An absolutely fantastic turn based tactical game.
The sound design and music is to die for.
The setting is to die for, it got me into 40k.
Pros:
- Great Combat
- Character building / Resource management - you spend resources after missions to level up. Getting powerful is really satisfying
- Tense exploration
- Music is just.. chefs kiss
CONS:
- got me into 40k - soo expensive lol

A great game.
Pros:
- Fun Combat
- Great Characters
- Can get lost in other things: side quests, exploration, playing/collecting GWENT
Cons:
- I feel the combat CAN get repetitive and a bit too hard at times. This is Geralt, the butcher of Blaviken, but he's getting his ass kicked by a few poorly armed bandits. - it mostly stems from higher lvl enemies just being damage sponges.

Fun game in a GREAT setting.
I don't love the pirate setting/theme as much as the more standard fantasy from the first one, but it's still really fun.
Pros:
- Good story + Writing
- Great Characters
- Fun Combat
Cons:
- Don't love the pirate setting - not a total turnoff, just not what i would have liked to continue THIS characters story. Would have been better to have this setting in a new triolgy rather than the sequel (IMO of course).

Its a great game.
Only giving 4 stars because though it's fantastic, the endgame is riddled with bugs. When its done and I come back to play it I'll re-rate it.
I honestly can't wait to come back to this game because it was so good.
Pros:
- fun combat! you're always outnumbered and feels badass to wipe out hordes of heretics!
- Very well written story and dialogue
- Actions have consequences. You can choose to execute companions, which is great for RP but you feel the consequences of loosing that character from your team.
Cons:
- BUGS. The endgame is broken atm, so I'm going to come back and finish later.
- Complexity - this is both a pro and a con, but i put it in con because though it is great it feels really daunting at first. You eventually get the hang of it and understand the terminology but its A LOT.

Amazing game made by an amazing developer. I always played Divinity Original Sin 2 and thought, 'man it would be awesome to play this with D&D rules and spells, oh well'.
Well dreams come true!
Pros:
- Well written characters and dialogue
- Feeling of choices having consequences
- Fun Combat
- Great story and writing
Cons:
- Not all dnd stuff is implemented. A big one are the feats, none of the wisdom/intelligence feats (observant, keen mind, etc) are implemented so Int/Wis builds like cleric and wizard feel like well i guess i'll do ASI then
- Some bugs, but no game breaking or really troubling ones.
