User Reviews
I bought the second part in hope that it would change a lot from the first instalment but I was super disappointed to see it's more of the exact same. My fault really for not checking reviews before purchasing. Never bought the third part, already wasted plenty of time with the first two.
Ok
Great writing and art style, combat is challenging and may take awhile getting used to. Recommend playing Banner Saga 1 before this.
