![]() It’s worth noting that in my original playthrough of The Banner Saga, Rook passed away, leaving Allette to lead your massive clan on the way to the human capital of Arberrang. While an even bigger cliffhanger at the end proves that The Banner Saga will be best experienced as, well, a saga, Stoic’s second entry is everything that one could hope for and more. The combination of deeper, more exciting combat, a story with stronger twists and turns and the same breathtaking art design make this a sequel one not to be missed. By and large, everything about The Banner Saga 2 is better than the original title, with the exception of an unfortunate final encounter. ![]() The Banner Saga 2 picks up exactly where its predecessor leaves off, with either Rook or Alette (depending on your final choice) leading the remainder of your clan. Of course, the fact that it ended on a massive cliffhanger, with either Rook or Alette dying at the hand of the Sundr Bellower, was both thrilling and mildly frustrating to everyone who had the chance to play it over the past two years. The Banner Saga franchise feels like a nerd’s dream.Įssentially the marriage between Game of Thrones, XCOM and Oregon Trail, the original entry in the series was one of 2014’s indie darlings. If you have not played the original 2014 title, turn away now. Editor’s Note: Because The Banner Saga 2 is a direct continuation of its predecessor, this review contains major spoilers for The Banner Saga.
