Dec. 2024

Very good sequel of the saga, the writing is excellent and the art may be even better than the first game, having more animations and scenarios. Sadly, some fights towards the end were boringly hard and I felt like an "undo move" button would've been highly needed

Oct. 2024

Great storytelling. Plays like no other game for combat. Good stuff.

Oct. 2024

Having beaten the first game and thinking that I could not be thrown off guard with the following installment, I can honestly say that Banner Saga 2 is a worthy sequel. Decision making becomes even more difficult due to the unforeseen consequences and political intrigues surrounding your journey, just what a game man.

Oct. 2024

Banner Saga 2 is overall an improvement on the first. More cutscenes, somehow even prettier scenery, and better combat mechanics. I do slightly favor the story in 1, but it's a continuous thing anyway.

April 2024

If you've played the first Banner Saga then this is a slam dunk easy recommend - nay, mandatory play next. Transfer your save over and carry on with your choices from the first game. The combat has the most evolution out of the changed features with more field effects, twists in the battles, map layout to give more strategic depth and a few new unit types to play around with for potent strategies. Of course there are new enemies to keep things spicy and you can further specialise your heroes once their stat has been maxed. Maxed out armour? Well, how would you like for your guy have a chance to regen armour each turn or resist armour break? Give your attacker crit chance or a chance to resist armour break? A great evolution of the Banner Saga 1 combat with different situations that will make you rethink your tried and true strategies from BS1. Do i recommend this game if you haven't played Banner Saga 1 (BS1)? I really can't. With how story focused this game is and how the story carries on and builds off of BS1, you will be missing out on character development that happened in BS1. The story is literally why your caravan is moving from place to place and without knowing the events of the previous game, the impact of some moments will be lost on you. Go play BS1 and then play BS2. If you dont like BS1 then you won't like this game.
