This game burrowed into my brain and every year or two I need to play through all three games or I break out in hives. Experiencing the world the first time was how I felt watching Lord of the Rings as a kid, like I just didn't understand how you could come up with something so unique
One of my all-time favorite games. It's like a Choose Your Own Adventure book set in a fantasy world inspired by Norse mythology with turn-based tactical combat reminiscent of Vandal Hearts or Final Fantasy Tactics and absolutely gorgeous artwork inspired by Eyvind Earle. If any or all of these piques your interest, I highly recommend giving Banner Saga a go!
The pace is a little slow, but the story is pretty good and there is enough strategy in the combat and repercussions to the decision making to keep you engaged. These days the game can be had on sale for nearly nothing and for those deep discounts, it is 9/10. At full price it is still recommended but so easy to find on sale.
I played this years ago (1 and 2) but never got around to finish the 3rd and cap the series off, so I decided to replay from the beginning to get the complete experience. That being said, revisiting The Banner Saga has been a really special experience and I reminded of just how unique a game like this is and I have yet to see anything like it since. Its sad to see where the studio has gone since then, buts thats neither here nor there. The story is top tier and you feel the weight of every choice you made. Combat is not super deep but I'm not a deep guy so I enjoyed it. I've been playing games my whole life and used to play things on the hardest difficulty but after learning to value my time more and realizing that its more FUN not to die over and over (I'm talking about YOU random grunt enemies one-shotting me in Give Me God of War mode) I'm okay with normal difficulty nowadays. Well, for Banner Saga I took it one step further and went to easy. I'm not ashamed. I had a great time and will continue to play as such on the sequels. I'm here for the atmosphere and story anyways. First time around I went with Rook, but seeing how he was in the second game made me feel so bad for him, so this time around I went with Alette! I'm rooting for you. Stay strong kid. 4.5/5 game. 5 - Perfect 4.5 - Nearly flawless 4 - Well above average 3.5 - Above Average 3 - Average 2.5 - Not good or bad. Meh 2 - Dissapointing 1.5 - Bad 1 - Really Bad 0.5 - Disastrous
