Good art and great deckbuilding mechanics — an interesting combination for Dominion and roguelike admirers. Still, parts of the game's presentation feel rushed (the polish that made Darkest Dungeon shine isn't here), so if you don't think you'd get enjoyment from just the puzzle of the mechanics, it's not worth it.
Unlike others on the thread, I didn't find the continuation of the Saga effective. The storytelling from before continued, yes, but the combat encounters now felt like they were strung together with "Now, you must fight your former allies/friends/etc!" Things like... I got the sense that certain characters stayed around just to keep their art assets from going to waste. The new characters and enemies in the game are, overall, less well drawn and less well animated. And where before, I felt like the Banner Saga, pt I, had a slightly too bare system that still allowed for interesting tactical decisions, pt II hasn't added much with the new classes. There's also not much difference ~between~ the classes at higher levels, and the added complexity is weighed down by the clunky UI. This is all to say—Banner Saga, pt I, is still good. Banner Saga, pt II, however felt like more like it just stretched the old ideas out, rather than adding new interesting material.
