![]() ![]() Here’s some screens of my initial session, which could contain some spoilers. But if you didn’t care for the original nothing has really changed so you should probably skip it. And the story is still intriguing and I’m looking forward to seeing how it ends. There are still choices, there’s still tactical combat in between the lulls in action. The game still has amazing hand drawn art, it still plays like The Oregon Trail. If you didn’t care for them, this one is more of the same and probably won’t change your mind. ![]() I said it best on Twitter:Įarly impressions: If you enjoyed the first two Banner Saga games, you’ll enjoy the third. I started up the final chapter of the journey the other day, and I’ve already enjoyed it thoroughly. I backed the game back in 2016 I believe it was, and it has finally released! The first two games in this series, created by indie devs Stoic Games, were also Crowdfunded, and though I bought and played through both of them, I missed out on being able to back them, so I rectified that this time around. On the other side of the coin, I’ve only participated in Crowdfunding twice, using Kickstarter to back the upcoming MMO Crowfall, along with the title we’re talking about today, The Banner Saga 3. In that sort of light, Early Access sounds pretty great despite the fact that you can find plenty of terrible tales about money hungry devs that don’t finish their work. I’ve purchased somewhere in the ballpark of a dozen Early Access games, and have seen most of those actually make it to a released state (whether or not I actually kept playing it that long). This solid Kickstarter game shows its pedigree but some players might not get charmed by its particular setting. I’m not a huge Crowdfunding/Early Access fan, but I have participated in both gaming ideas. With an inspiring art direction, a relentless but interesting game design and a good combat system, The Banner Saga only suffers from a lack of variety in its fighting scenarios and its slow caravan sequences.
