    Overall Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is a great game. It’s a case of if it’s not broke, don’t fix it, but it’s been improved on with some beautiful graphics and refining of basic gameplay. TaleWorlds continues to polish it with patches and listen to their community about it. This is hands down one of the best games that let you charge with your cavalry archers while you charge ahead with your lance to end banditry in the area and everything in between.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is very much a superior sequel in so many ways. It’s still a bit of a brick wall to get past in terms of understanding its finer points, but keep hammering away and you will find them.

    Mount & Blade 2 transports us into an endless chaotic world full of events, battles and amazing adventures. At times it feels like a victim of its own complexity — some of the game's intricate systems don’t mesh together or never work as advertised, the economy is flawed, there’s a frightening dearth of conventions… Yet this elaborate medieval world will eat up at least a hundred hours out of your life.

    Despite some shallow ancillary systems, Bannerlord is the master of medieval warfare

    Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord is a game that can swallow you whole and make you forget about everything else - including its own flaws. That's the beauty of this series - the gameplay, and particularly the large-scale, real-time combat, makes us shrug off ugly face models, underdeveloped diplomacy, or dumb AI.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord comes back with improvements to everything we liked about the previous games and some new systems as well. However, it's not a perfectly polished game, so you'll have to navigate a few edges on your path to restore/destroy the Empire.

    Though Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord provides a fun outlet with its battles and the strategies you can employ within them, everything else is lacking in comparison. You might get a solid 5-10 hours of enjoyment out of the campaign before you it dawns on you that there’s not much else to discover but a disappointing realisation.

    It is a great game and there is no equivalent game in the world. (other than warband). I spent 20 hours to just marry a khan’s daughter. 20 toIt is a great game and there is no equivalent game in the world. (other than warband). I spent 20 hours to just marry a khan’s daughter. 20 to end a clan war. Etc. There is always a way to spend time in this game. I hope the video game industry in Turkey progress more and we can see more games like this. Competition in this genre would be nice.

    Why didn’t i give 10 points? Because there is so much mod that we can apply but there is always some problems with mods. TaleWorlds should either look up to popular moda and embed them in to game or optimize the game for mods or something. Briefly, we love mods.    … Expand
