The Banner Saga 2

To put it plainly, The Banner Saga 2 is a rare example of a solid sequel. It's difficult for me to explain in detail without spoilers but suffice it to say it is the building upon of the story that really makes TBS 2 shine. Content wise, the game offers many new party classes and enemies to fight against. Combat is greatly improved by adding talents onto stat trees, allowing personalized builds for all party members. Items and levels carry over, complimenting the new items and raised level cap to 10 for all characters. Unfortunately the game does have a bit of a shaky ending in rushing to set up a 3rd game. Also unfortunate is that the second console port is as bad as the first. Expect often freezing and crashing which can be aggravating during long battles. The Banner Saga 2 does an excellent job of adding more to the experience while keeping everything the same, solidifying it as an RPG series worth enjoying.

Too often I have loved a game for what it was (or what it wasn't) only to be let down by it's sequel. Usually because the developers find unecessary reasons to change the formula of what made it's original game enjoyable in the first place. Which is why I love this game. I found the first to be brilliantly executed, and bring back the fond memories I have from the genre in the past. The sequel not only furthered it's excellent storyline and familiar gameplay, but did it without the need to change what made it great. The Banner Saga series deserves both your attention and your support. Absolutely a must play.

This a great game but your going to have to play it twice to get the hang of it. Thd first time your going to suck but after that its alot of fun. There are definitely some hard choices to make so don't try to get everything you want because you can't and doing that leads to starving people and by the second half you will wish you had bought all the food you could. This game actually by the end had me care about the characters. I love a game with a great story and this one did for sure. So if you like emotionally charged storys that force you to make the choices no leader wants to make then this is the game for you. The grahics are beautiful but if you want amazing realistic grahics then go play another game. I recommend this game its just the people who rated this badly ether want everything and don't know how to strike a balance and/or just want to play a first person action game and want good realistic grahics that are amazing. They also don't appreciate a good story line.

great, compelling story packaged with an excellent turn based strategy game. Once you get the game mechanics it is an endlessly enjoyable game. Each heros abilities compliments the others in unexpected ways leading to extremely different strategies depending on party make up. My nongamer GF enjoys the game just for the story. Hyped for the 3rd and final game.

The final boss and ending were subpar compared to the first game and it removes the need to promote Bolverk if the player knows this fact, if you have played and beaten both games you'll understand why i feel this way but that being said it's still worth playing the whole way through especially if you have beaten the first one, I still feel connected to some of the characters and the combat is as good as ever but to undertand it better play the first game, in conclusion good game but i know they can do a better ending that is my only gripe with it the passions there i can see and feel it.
