Jul 13, 2016Five Word Review: A Turn-based strategy worth playing.
Favorite Thing: Great gameplay and story. Looking forward to The Banner Saga 3.
Least Favorite Thing: The ending was very abrupt with no cliffhanger. I was honestly surprised when it ended.
Playtime: 16h
Enjoyment: 8/10
Recommendation: Definitely. Make sure to play the first one too. -

Apr 30, 2016Play Banner Saga 1, then play this one. The story is great, the combat is improved. I only wish the state caravan had more impact on the story but overall I was very happy. They kept both the story, and the combat spicy, and I appreciated that.
Music and Art... you can't not mention that. They're incredible. -

Feb 16, 2018Aah.. too short.
And that caravan and character death are sometimes random.
Not so happy at the last choice too (: -

Oct 10, 2018Slightly better than The Banner Saga 1 in almost every aspect and the original was already a great game. The only thing was a bit disappointing is the ending: it is even more of a cliffhanger this time.

May 16, 2020The second game of the epic trilogy! I found this more challenging than the previous one. But I enjoyed every moment! I couldn't stop playing it! The story-telling is amazing! 16hrs on record.

Oct 8, 2020Very good continuation of the first game. Story is a bit weaker but that's mostly because it functions more as a setup for the next game more than the first did. Hopefully the story wraps up well in the third installment.

Dec 30, 2021You expect from this game the scope of the Lord of the Rings level, but you get a local, boring story, with the same boring action.

Jul 1, 2023The game is rising action part of the story and although it is not very strong in that context, it makes it up by opening up a bit more in terms of combat. The gripe would would be unable to play this game through the whole series in 1 save due to Banner Saga 3 being abandoned.

Aug 8, 2023If your love the banner saga 1 then your do not miss the 2 is the best story music and combat verry great

Dec 1, 2016The Banner Saga 2 fuels momentum towards the next chapter with rich new territories and captivating mysteries. Gameplay is less frustrating without losing its sense of challenge, pushing you and your people on through tough scenarios at the height of desperation.
-
Aug 30, 2016It’s the decisions that bind the experience; enabling The Banner Saga 2 to transcend its videogame construct. You’re left with an experience that feels not only alive, but alive with the complexities of the real world.
