Archers and humans rely less on their brute force and more on smarts but they certainly still make a dent to your foes. The same lumbering Vahl taking up massive amounts of space make their undeniably intimidating presence on the battlefield. Thankfully BS2 has the confidence to know what it got right originally and build on it.

It’s kind of a tricky problem because it’s hardly Stoic’s fault that they made such an amazing first game. A sequel in the truest sense, BS2 concerns itself with upgrading rather than changing. Then when you get into a fight, which probably won’t take too long, the UI is pleasantly untouched from the first game. It might just be a simple lock of hair swaying in the wind at the vexingly good looking low frame rate given to these elements, but it’s enough. Minor elements of movement sometimes serve as the only reminder that The Banner Saga isn’t actually printed in front of you. Banner Saga 2 more than capably takes the reins and does the franchise proud. True enough that since then there’s been a whole host of games following suit with the style but none do it quite like Banner Saga and in my opinion none do it quite as well. I still remember when I first played the first game and was greeted with the ‘hand drawn’ style. This time I expect a lot.Īside from the mead, horns and axes that make up the Viking feel of BS2 the art style has become notoriously gorgeous and unique.

I fell in love with the deep characters and Norse mythology that’s deliberately woven into every aspect of the game. A game that has to be one of the best proofs that independent titles have a place in modern gaming alongside multi-million pound titles. It’s difficult to remember that when The Banner Saga was first released most of us didn’t expect to find such an awesome game.
