Sorry guys, I've had less time than a normal week to work on updating this, so you're gonna get a slightly shorter (than I'd like), slightly late post.
Ok, a couple things today. Divinity 2, Do: Pilgrims of the Flying Temple, and a battlemap collection from Lord Zsezse works.
First, Divinity 2. Admittedly, I haven't beaten it (yet), but it's a really cool game, and I think I've gotten to a point where all the gameplay is unlocked. The story is cool, or at least it's not bad, the graphics are stunning, even on a lower detail level, and the music is decent. There's not really anything about it I hate. It's pretty standard action game fare, but it's got a fair depth to it.

Do: Pilgrims of the Flying Temple also deserves a review. It's a storytelling game aimed at a younger audience, in which players take on the role of flying "pilgrims" who have been raised by monks. Over the course of a story, the players take turns writing sentences describing what their characters do while the other players write how the character gets in trouble somehow. Pilgrims are named in such a way that their name contains both how they help people and get in trouble (which changes over the course of the game, depending on how they play). It's an interesting piece, and worth a shot for younger audiences (though the whimsical setting may put off some adults).
Last, I've gotta review a battlemap set. Lord Zsezse Works is one of my favorite tabletop game artists, but I don't usually review their stuff due to the fact that I was one of the people who reviewed their early work the most and I felt I needed to give them a break. However, I'm really happy with what I see. Prison in the Deep is a really well done map (admittedly only for prisons, but that's easy to fix, given how most tabletop games go), that can be used in Gametable or MapTool or whatever with minimal efforts, since it has various .jpg files for the maps, at a healthy resolution.
