Repetition and Crashing ruins the game
Reviewing in the context of all 3 games, given they take place in direct continuity, I have 3 thoughts about Banner Saga 3. Thought 1: the story and the variance in choices and who lives/dies makes for obvious replayability and is done really well. The characters are, albeit sometimes quite shallowly explored, often quite interesting. Thought 2: The core gameplay, which would be the tactical combat has very much outstayed it's welcome by the 3rd game, doing painfully little to keep fresh. Once I got to and booted up the 3rd game I was already tired of it and it had become a chore, almost. Thought 3: This game, unlike the other 2, crashes a lot - and not just for me. I've been googling the crashing issues and can find countless people online describing the exact circumstances of the crashes all the way since 2018 - 6 years ago. That means this issue will not be fixed. If you get crashes, too bad. And given they tend to occur just past a fight, forcing you to re-do it, playing the game becomes actually just tedious and upsetting. Conclusion: the sour reality of point 2 and 3 sabotages the replayability of the series that point 1 otherwise elegantly invites one to do. And I will be honest: I cannot finish this game and it upsets me a lot. I was willing to power through the combat, but not when I have to repeat it again and again due to crashes. And for the same reason, I actually recommend against playing the series as a whole. The other games, for me, was 4 out of 5, but this one I must situate at a brittle 1 out of 5.
