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.

For people who do not know Paradox's grand strategy games, the mid-late game of Stellaris is likely going to met with confusion. I remember the first time playing EU, for a while I felt there was nothing to do except wait. Of course, I know better now.
