    Game is complete junk and full of bugs. Multiple times crashed my console due to them. Even after the latest patch that was supposed to fix the said bugs, they're still there.

    Luckily never wasted a dime on this trash and only tried it out via gamepass.

    Game is great at the start when you have to form your own strong army. Once you have made a strong army the game gets very boring.
    1.Very repetitive and grinding(you take a town or castle and walk away and the enemy goes and takes it back and then you take it back and it just repeats over and over)

    2.A way to get some kind of modding onto console. The PC version of this game has such a huge modding community and makes the game 10x more interesting then the boring vanilla game.
    3.Fix the Balance of Power bug...i have gone into battles with over 1000 more soldiers then my enemy and have the balance of power in my favor and still lose. Makes no sense
    4. Please work on getting some add ons for the console because the basic game alone gets boring real fast and retention can't be good without some type of mods or add ons.
    Biggest takeaway from this review is that this game could be really fun and interesting if it can add some type of modding to the console versions. The basic game alone on console gets boring real fast.    … Expand

    Needs some obvious polishing but they did an amazing job adapting it for consoles plus fighting is smooth and simple.

    Ils sont coutumiers du fait et la preuve en est fait, encore une fois, avec ce M&B numéro 2 qui ne déroge certainement pas à la règle du jeu daubé de partout… comme d’habitude ! la seule différence, c’est que la daube est aussi sortie sur consoles et notamment tombée dans le daube passe et on comprend pourquoi… très vite.

    Moche, injouable, mal présenté et mal fait, ingérable et foiré, ce jeu est une catastrophe industrielle ! d’ailleurs, soit dit en passant, même le didacticiel est complètement bugué et foireux. L’interface est calamiteuse et n’aide pas le joueur sur la console, l’adaptation s’avère en effet lamentable.

    Cette bouse reste un mélange de stratégie maladroite et de (soi-disant) jeu de rôle très répétitif et borné, psycho-rigide et d’un autre âge : plusieurs générations de retard au bas mot, tout comme les précédents M&B qui étaient tous ratés et catastrophiques. Cette constance dans la nullité laisse béat d’amiration… il faut tous les inviter au prochain dîner !    … Expand

    Bannerlord, in spite of its shortcomings, is a great game to play for tactics enthusiasts and players that love huge battles. Its simulation style of gameplay is fairly unique and keeps me coming back. An easy recommendation to all that love their sandboxes.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord feels excellent in most cases, like whacking someone off their horse with a spear, or getting that perfect hit on an enemy in battles. The map is far more varied from the first game and they improved on a lot of mechanics in this sequel as well. Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord was shallow in some ways, and sometimes has annoyingly hidden game mechanics, but kept me coming back for how unique it felt from its freedom of choice.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is a wonderfully in-depth adventure RPG. You'll love its sprawling open world, and its time-sink campaign. Sadly, its multiplayer option isn't as captivating, but that matters not. With vast battles and folksy audio, this will impress you throughout.
