I think I liked this? But also it's super boring and the story is absolute garbage, which could be fine if it weren't so thinly spread and poorly told. And this is from someone who doesn't even care about LotR lore or any of that. With that said it has undeniably solid combat and the personality they put into the orcs saves it from being a complete slog... what a shame that none of that charisma ever rubs off on anyone you're meant to care about.

10. Divinity: Original Sin IIDivinity: Original Sin IIhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Divinity_Original_Sin_IIOpens wiki page

Seems good but very long not that far into it

#1 game I willed to be better than it was. (Maybe my favorite opening to a game this year?).
