    The soundtrack and art are amazing.

    Now why a 8

    I felt like the game was a bit too short . Under 12 hours.
    I started the game in french and there was a lot of mistakes. For example using she instead of he for a man.

    Switch specific issues. On the go it was a bit hard to see which target you’re targeting because a lot of UI are above each other.

    I still think it’s a must play. The whole serie in fact.    … Expand

    I loved everything of this game. Beautiful characters, hard decisions with hard consequences, well balanced turn based battles. In my opinion this trilogy is a piece of art.

    The way the game is presented, it's mostly an experience recommended for those already familiar with the saga, as the game's different outcomes, simple combats and relative lack of new elements compared to the previous chapters make this more difficult to get into for newcomers.

    From the beginning, this series has very much been about the journey to the destination in both a literal and figurative sense, and now we’ve arrived at the end, it's clear that this was the strongest point all along. The development of characters and the gradual progression of the story naturally have less emphasis this time around, as this is the end of the saga, but what you do get is multiple endings with fitting outcomes. Now all that's left is for you to decide whether or not this game and series are for you, much like the many choices present within the games themselves.

    The Banner Saga 3 is a fitting and triumphant conclusion to the franchise. It’s not without its small problems, but the overall experience is polished and deeply rewarding. It may be completely inaccessible to newer players, but people who have stuck with it will not be disappointed.
