Before I start, I wanted to say that I have been following this project since it was announced on Kickstarter. Despite the fact that I have played just a few hours(Some people read reviews written by those who played the game at least 10 hours), I am ready to share my feelings.
This game is a peace of art. Visuals are stunning. Sound is so perfect that when your caravan goes through the forest you can close your eyes and still feel the rustling of leaves under your feet and crackling of old trees above your head.
The plot is like an old north legend, brutal and full of (dead) ancient gods, giants and greedy people trying to survive.
The most important thing for me in this game is a feeling that you are in the last campaign in your life and perhaps the last for all mankind. The feeling that you are on the road all the time keeps me on the look-out.
As for the gameplay, I never liked turn-based battles, but there are some exceptions to this rule. And Banner Saga is one of them. This is hard to explain, but every battle is like a chess match, so it can last up to 20 minutes each. Although it is incredibly intense.
To sum up, I am proud to have this game in my library, play it and enjoy it.
