7.5/10 A solid finale that keeps the core of the series intact. The combat and art are still great, and the new mechanics fit in well enough. The pacing feels a little off at times, but the characters and world remain engaging all the way through. The conclusion to the story is satisfying and wraps everything up in a way that feels right.

This is a review for the whole saga (all 3 games) since there's no meaningful difference in gameplay and it's one complete story. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience and most of my complaints were minor things or personal nitpicks. The artwork was amazing and I loved all the character designs. The soundtrack is excellent (though not as amazing as the Tooth and Tail soundtrack from the same composer). I didn't experience any technical issues (aside from one major story choice when I tried to port over my save for the first game from the GOG edition). Voice acting was great, i just wish there had been more of it. -Combat Very solid system and no surprise they tried to make a board game out of it. I liked all of the class types and special abilities. The system itself I have no issue with, but over the course of the 30-40hr runtime for the full saga it does start to get old. The saga could have used some more unique combat objectives or timers or environments. Too many fights that are just 'kill the other team'. Even 3-way fights would've been a nice way to mix it up. - Resource management No real complaints here, it felt like I was playing oregon trail and dying just as badly at times. You go through periods of feast and famine and I felt like it was dynamic enough and didn't really need any deeper systems. The fact that your money is also your currency for levelling characters I'm still on the fence about. It added some really interesting/tough choices to the game but it would have also been fun to have more freedom to level my favorite heroes. - Story & choices I really enjoyed the storyline/narrative. I felt like I could really get into the role of the characters and stay immersed. The fact that you never know how a choice will affect the story or if the effects will be immediate or long-term adds a ton of tension and really made me focus on roleplay first and not optimization of rewards like many other games. This could be frustrating at times when you expected a certain outcome but your choice backfired horribly but I think it was the right way to handle decision making in the game.

This is the perfect conclusion for one of the most beautiful epic sagas ever. The amount of choices and consequences is amazing, and the stakes are even higher. The last stretch is some of the most stressful and dramatic i've ever experienced. The stategic battles are even more addictive with some new enemies and the concept of "reinforcements" (after the battle is over, when can keep up against new enemies for extra rewards, but we can also replace our troops). Thanks Stoic for the unforgettable experience.

Honest review: 8.5/10 I really like this game. Good story line, great art, kinda addictive to play, the game has a good unique combat style, plus the skills and items are interesting too. Combat is turned base, you have armor that deflects damage from others strength/hp. You do as much damage as you have strength/hp. Which for some reason I didn't notice until The Banner Saga 2, about half way through. To get the most out of this game, you should start with The Banner Saga 1. It continues the story line, plus you get to keep your party. Your choices matter from all the games previously. I think they could make a 4th one, but seriously doubt they ever will. It doesn't leave ya on a cliff hanger, but i just really enjoyed it. Game is solid enough to play at least twice, which makes since why its kinda short in the scheme of things. The worst part of this game is how it saves. If you do find it crashing on you, which has happened to me twice, just turn off the steam cloud saves. That will fix the problem. If you like honest reviews, hit that like button and have a great day!!!

Obviously, if you played the previous games, you'll want to see the ending. As of 2025, there are a lot of crashes and infinite loading screens.
