The Banner Saga 2 is a gripping Norse-inspired fantasy adventure that engages you with its exceptional narrative and captivating art direction. The game features a turn-based combat system that challenges your strategic thinking, new creatures and obstacles, and battles resolved through primary objectives rather than max-murdering the other side. Make difficult decisions that can lead to starvation, mutiny or death, while defying traditional conventions and rejecting typical rules of morality. The sequel is a must-play, with vastly improved combat, deep and rewarding narrative, and an immersive visual and sound design.
What we like:
Engaging narrative
Captivating art direction
Improved combat system
New creatures and obstacles
Battles resolved through primary objectives
What could be improved:
Difficult for new players who did not play the first game
Console controls are awkward and obtuse
Environmental art can make combat harder to navigate

What we like:
Fun turn-based wargame with great attention to detail and awesome visuals
Random Scenario generator adds tons of replayability and variety
Combination of all the good parts of previous Panzer General/Corps games combined into one
Lovely visuals and solid engine
Some interesting (albeit somewhat half-baked) mechanisms, such as splitting your unit to facilitate encirclements.
What could be improved:
No grand map
Mission tree cut down to total victory or game over, no interesting mission paths
Little infantry variation
Potential for more alt history campaigns and areas to explore
Defend exotic lands from dragons, man-eating plants, and ghastly denizens of the underworld -all with flashy towers, levels, heroes, and more goodies to help you crush your enemies to a pulp.
