Each character you meet feels unique to this world alone despite the clear Norse influences.

The environments and backgrounds, particularly the brilliant use of foregrounds, give immense scale to your undertaking. Somewhere between Don Bluth and classic Disney, every single part of the whole is exemplary. The foremost of these pillars of tradition that uphold The Banner Saga 2 is the art and animation. The Banner Saga 2 stands on four main pillars: choice-driven storytelling, breathtaking art design, tactical turn-based combat, and heartstopping audio. This review is shorter than most for I cannot tear myself away something sublime is happening here. But truly, there are no real flaws with The Banner Saga 2. Giving out a perfect score is not something that should be done lightly or praising good design because it suits the reviewer’s tastes. No game is a universal 10/10 somebody out there hates Ocarina of Time for what they believe to be a good reason. There will be pieces that people don’t enjoy. This sequel is an improvement in every way. The first Banner Saga title won a BAFTA for its modern affirmations of traditional design concepts, and no one should be surprised if they win again here. Here, Stoic Studio has managed yet again to encapsulate a saga that feels ancient, in terms of design, aesthetic, and presentation, while possessing the quality and finish of the very best of the new. The unique sum of their vision is nothing less than a flawless execution of very old and very new traditions.ĭespite efforts made by King, the developers of Candy Crush, the concept of sagas goes beyond one franchise, one genre, or one culture. By the by, Arnie was SW:TOR ’s lead concept artist, and John was its lead combat programmer. Stoic Studio is: a former DC Comics (Justice League) artist, Arnie Jorgensen a programmer who worked on the Hubble telescope, John Watson and a short story and indie games writer who worked with both of these guys on Star Wars: The Old Republic, Drew McGee.
