The Banner Saga Critic Reviews
View All (96 total)The Banner Saga's strong mechanics are enhanced by a compelling storyline and characters as colourful as its visual palette.
There are deeper strategy games, but few where you'll feel quite so invested in the outcome. Recommended.
Released on consoles at last, this elegantly grim adventure at the end of the world is that rare contradiction: a nostalgic original.
