Banner Saga 3

...Only We Few Remember It Now.

Great on all counts

If you played the first two games you'd probably wondered what the hell was going on, as not much explanation was given. Fear not, the conclusion to the whole story comes with this one and it isn't even that bad. it's particularly that great either, though, as two main narrative threads seem quite disconnected. Well, storytelling wasn't really the strong point of the saga anyway, if you ask me, and the tactical battles still deliver. If you are like me, you'd probably like the survial mode more than the actual campaign so I'd recommend getting it. It's quite tough but allows for some really, really broken combos and no narrator is taking your heroes away dramatic reasons just after you invested a ton of money in them...

A fitting end to the series, but seems quite a bit shorter than the other 2 and lacks a some of the charm of them as well.

The final part of the trilogy just arrived and I managed my way through it on normal difficulty with little difficulty! The narrative is just as strong as the first two volumes, with decisions and alternative pathways being quite clear and questionably unpreventable (unless you replay!). The combat, including the new combat modes, was a nice touch as well (though it's been almost two years since I played the second game, so I was definitely rusty!). I really enjoyed seeing characters "max out" and get full use of their abilities. Where could the game improve? Some of the animations were a bit off and felt cut short; some of the story could have been fleshed out a bit more. But for what it is, and the replay value, I found the game well worth every moment. I'm glad I supported the game during their crowd-funding period. Stoic is a great company with some major ambitions.
