Pokémon Ultra Moon
2017
Just a massive downgrade from Sun and Moon. It destroys the quality of the story (which was SM's best aspect). It especially ruins Lusamine's character by trying to make her into an antihero even though they keep most of her evil acts. It breaks the natural difficulty curve with Ultra Necrozma thrown in before the Elite 4. A way to fix this would've been to have Ultra Necrozma happen after you become the champion and for it to be the final boss instead of Hau. Rainbow Rocket is boring and commits character assassination against the evil leaders. They also didn't fix the overly linear routes. If you want to play an Alola game, avoid this one and go play Sun and Moon.
Overall, this game gets a 1/10

The dark souls of visual novels.
Genuinely features the best confession scene within the game and that's on top of being generally the best written route out of the three available. Derek's arc is handled incredibly well and the inclusion of his family as well as the additional screentime dedicated to Liz gives him a lot of characters to work off of aside from just the MC. Overall the best DLC of the bunch.
What started off as a DLC route with decent intrigue and an interesting character arc ended up falling completely flat and that's ignoring the way the narrative glosses over the two side characters it was meant to develop who got laid to the wayside. Over all, an unfortunately sour DLC to conclude with
