Banner Saga 2

Banner Saga 2 is one of the finest combinations of character, gameplay, and narrative that you can find. It's a game that spends as much time on being a fun and varied strategy game as it does on making you care about its world and the reasons why its characters are in the situation they are in. It's really hard to ask much more than that.

Ultimately I have hope and faith in Stoic. If they can fix these bugs, Banner Saga 2 is going to be amazing. It already is amazing, but it just needs a little love. I can still recommend this game, but if you are on the fence you probably won't have to wait long for the fixes to roll in. Even with it's flaws, Banner Saga 2 fills the shoes of it's predecessor and brings some very welcome touches to an immersive universe that never fails to suck you in and make you feel bad. In a good way.

This is a game with fathoms of depth, a beautiful art style, and a sure-footed swagger. It's fun, it's heart-breaking, and oh just stop reading this and go buy it now. A gloomy, exciting, and downright brilliant tactical RPG.
