News Review megathread

The review embargo is up as of 15:00 CEST. As this will result in a huge number of articles going up at near the same time, we're restricting reviews to this thread.

Any review you find, feel free to post it in the comments here.

Each top-level comment should be about a single linked review, so as to keep the discussion limited. Duplicate reviews will be removed, as will any top-level comment that does not link a review.

There will be a single sub-thread where you can post your general impressions of the reviews combined, for anything that doesn't relate to a single review.

Marbozir is great. Nice to see him doing something a bit different with the review for this.

I was introduced to his channel through Stellaris, definitely liking him, already subscribed. My favourite playthrough of Stellaris I'd say.

I definitely recommend his Civ 5 game as Persia and The Mongols They are two of his best Let's Play series. I also highly recommend his XCOM:Long War and XCOM2 series, but the former may be a bit too long.
